   Overall, we had a fantastic evening. Service was fantastic and the crowd was attractive and welcoming. We understand it is a very high end restaurant with high end clientele, but the overall value was not there for what we spent. Drink prices are well beyond competitors in the area, while the food quality and pricing is roughly on par. Know before you go.

   An A++ evening! A girlfriend and I met at Monarch Stag to catch up over wine and apps, and we had an absolutely lovely evening! The live music was great! The food was delicious! And our server, Kylar D, was truly delightful! It’s a 10/10 from us!!

   Great staff and liquor selection. Does not feel commercial, which I really enjoy. Definite a great date bar, and to try unique whiskeys, with knowledgeable and serviceable staff.

   Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the atmosphere, our curated whiskey selection, and the service from our team. Creating a space that feels personal and elevated—is exactly what we aim for, and it’s so rewarding to hear that it resonated with you. We agree—it’s the perfect spot for a memorable date night or discovering something new in the whiskey world. Hope to see you again soon for another pour (or two)!

   This past weekend, I visited one of my favorite spots in Central Texas, Best, whiskey, and cigar lounge that I know of The Monarch Stag   I had a great time myself and two of my really good friends. Went there to celebrate one of my buddies finding out he’s having a brand new baby boy pretty soon.  as always, the food was amazing. The music was awesome, and the drinks were top-notch.  our server who I believe is New there to take care of us her name was Kylar  And we also got assisted by a server who’s been there for a while I believe her name is Grace. She’s absolutely awesome as well.   All around this is a spot I go to almost every single week and have such a great experience there they truly treat you like family. I saw the owners there, Derek and Sheree and anytime you see them. They just make you feel like family to anyone reading this please go there have an amazing time whether it’s a business meeting a night out by yourself just to have a whiskey a cigar or if you’re just out with some friends, I highly recommend this place The general manager Josh was working that night. As well. He always comes by and make sure that everyone is having a great time.

   I was not impressed with this high end restaurant. Nowhere on the Open Table site did it say there would be a 1 1/2 hour time limit for dining on Valentine’s Day. We were told that upon our arrival which I found to be very off-putting. “Customers are more than welcome to sit at our bar after dinner.” Of course you are welcome to sit and spend an exorbitant amount for a poor “pour.” We were greeted right away by our server who asked if she could take our drink order. Not having a chance to look at the wine list and cocktail menu, we asked for a minute. She came back right away which was a good sign. BUT she hounded us to place our food order; back at our table every minute. AND our table…. it was obviously placed right in front of the door just for that crowded evening and it was freezing that night. Plus the A/C kept turning on. So on to food order. We opted out of the price-fixed menu and ordered a salad, steaks and a side. The steaks came out quickly but no salads. A glass of wine on the house was offered instead. At least that part was handled correctly. I’m not sure if I would recommend this restaurant or even go back again. I should mention the prices are so high because it is located at The Star in Frisco.

   Definitely a Valentine’s Day to remember. The appetizers were delicious and grace made our night even better with her amazing service. Highly recommend for any occasion. We’re already planning to go back soon.

    Seating could have been more comfortable for their atmosphere. Will definitely give it another try.
