Our service was great! The food was pretty good too. The craftsman was excellent. The tri tip salad was terrible. We took the steak the dogs. It was dry and tough. They didn’t eat it either. Burgers were ok. Nice little pub.

Our server was delightful. She engaged in conversation with us while still keeping up with the pace of her work. The food was delicious. We sat outside. The only negative I can make is something the restaurant could not control. There was a person outside of the restaurant smoking marijuana and the smell was so strong. It was almost uncomfortable. Fortunately the staff turn on fans which blew the smell away.

Tried this 'new' (to us) place in old town of Roseville. It's a cute location. The potato leak soup was outstanding as was the steak. Cocktails are delicious. I didn't give a high point for service as I ordered an appetizer and a main dish. Appetizers came out, but then only my boyfriend's meal was brought out. The server forgot to put in my order. So while my boyfriend ate, I waited for my meal, which came out when he was done. The server was very nice and made it right and I know there was a lot going on that night, so I don't completely blame her, but I did have to wait about 20 extra mins for my meal. Still, we would come back and try it out again.

Always great experience at The Monk’s Cellar. The food is spectacular! The new menu is great! Beer is second to none and there’s a full bar with bar tenders that actually know how to expertly craft a drink. The best part IMO is the staff there. After our dinner we decided to go sit at the bar and have a cocktail. It was fun watching the bartenders making the drinks and answering all our questions about what they were making. Great experience for sure!

We had the steak & frites, mussels & frites, a fruti di mare type pasta dish, and the classic casserole. All were fantastic as usual. Try the pretzel appetizer, great to share. Drink recommendations: Amnesia for the ladies and an old fashioned for the gentlemen. Ask for the Smoke Wagon Old Fashioned for something different and amazing!

We ordered the Monks Burger, Mac & Cheese, and Turkey Club, all were perfectly cooked. Drinks were beer, wine and a specialty drink recommended by our waitress which our friend loved. Such a great place to go with friends on a Friday night.

Had reservation for outside seating and we were seated inside. Was brought incorrect order initially. Shrimp was over cooked rubber. Bland chicken served with Cobb salad. Caesar salad and Craftsman were good. Felt the cocktails we ordered were entirely overpriced. Time to give another place a try next time we visit.

The steak had good flavor, but it was quite tough, I’d have preferred a smaller, but much more tender cut. The food is definitely decent, but nothing extraordinary enough to justify the price. Excellent waitress. I wish I’d gotten her name, so that we could ask for her again. Our large group goes once a month and when our last regular waiter moved on, so did we. Now that we’ve found another good one, we might resume coming again, if we can ask for and get her.

Our favorite is the Moules Frites featured on Friday and Saturday. A hard choice between those and the fish and chips. Best fries ever. The burgers are excellent. We always try to get a table served by Jake who is an outstanding server. Favorite drink - Abbey Ale but at Jake's recommendation the Cherry Brandy Belgian quadrupel was an excellent alternative

Overall this place is excellent. We went on a very crowded Friday night. We had thankfully made reservation. Unfortunately we experienced a server that was less than pleasant. After sitting for over 30 minutes after ordering with no drinks or check ins. I was finally able to get our waiters attention. I had been trying for over 15 minutes. Instead of listening to my concerns and trying to remedy the situation he proceeded to argue with me and walked away. Fortunately the manager took over the service and we had wonderful food and a great time. I find that many of the servers today have no clue how to be an attentive server. Thank goodness the manager, Jake, exudes exemplary service.

The food and drinks are always good here. Service is great, and Monk's just has a good feel to it. Tuesdays are Trivia nights at 6:30 pm. Very fun!! The host of the trivia is really good. The trivia is challenging. Hint: some of the questions involve current events of the weeks, so do a little prep work.
