    Wanted to eat rooftop, but apparently, that is only available to hotel guests. Despite the fact, that we could see nobody on the rooftop! All that said, main level dining is fine with the bar/dining area open to a gated sidewalk area outside Which on a nice day is quite lovely.

    We were excited to try MatchStick, but overall, the experience was a bit underwhelming. The Meat Board, ordered medium, came out mostly overcooked, and unfortunately, several dishes were unavailable by 4:30 PM—which felt a bit early to be out of ingredients for dinner entrees. The beef tips tasted great, but the dish was mostly mushrooms (about 75%), so a different name might set better expectations. That said, there were definitely some highlights: the guac and corn appetizer was phenomenal, and both the wedge salad and caprese salad were fresh and flavorful. The green beans, however, were overcooked, and for a whiskey bar, the old fashioned fell flat. On the positive side, the service was excellent—our server was attentive and friendly, and the hostesses were accommodating when we asked to move tables. A special shout-out to the Shirley Temple, which my son declared the best ever thanks to the real cherries. We love Stillwater and might give MatchStick another shot in the future, but based on this visit, it’s not a must-visit spot for us—yet.

    Great atmosphere. Food comes out when done and hot so may be staggered. Family table dining so order your proteins and then have sharable veggies. Desserts are large and easily shared.
