Feller

I absolutely loved Feller. I live in Texas, and that was the best steak I've had in a long time. Right there in Stillwater, Minnesota. Great atmosphere; the manager jumped in and helped the servers, and we felt the service was exceptional. The food was good, and the atmosphere was definitely eclectic with rustic tones. Having been raised in Stillwater, I appreciated the location.

Feller was recommended by a friend and we were very happy we took her advice. We started with an appetizer, the foragers flat bread which we were told was 1/2 off but were charged full price. It was loaded with mushrooms and chèvre cheese but the magic ingredient was the sweet honey. We decided on our main courses after seeing the daily special menu. We ordered the jerk chicken with beans and the filet mignon with a side of the balsamic brussel sprouts. We saved room and ended our meal with the Forgers chiffon, if you dipped the chiffon cake in the lemon curd, it was the perfect bite. Over all a positive experience with delicious food.

My husband and I came for dinner, wanted to try something new. We are new to Saint Paul. A friend from work recommended this place. Nice place, unfortunately didn’t get any pictures of the food. I got the pepper pasta and my husband got the burger. They were both really good. I can’t remember what our drinks were but they were well crafted and balanced. Our sever was a young gal named Lynn or Lyrick. She has a lot of tattoos. Very sweet and attentive. Overall we really enjoyed our visit!

It doesn’t get better than this. I love that the menu is fresh every visit, yet keeps staples such as Truffle Fries and Feller. I had the tastiest amaretto sour, the pot stickers were DIVINE. Always love the truffle fries and any cheese based pasta they offer. The ramen was ALSO very good! We had the Zeppole for dessert and it was very tasty. Service was fantastic!! Riley was very sweet and attentive.

Extremely unique atmosphere with all the limestone and cave like feel. Food and drinks were terrific, our server was very good, but the bar took forever and a day to prepare our drinks and the restaurant was at less than half capacity. Highly recommend getting the corner booth in the bar area for great views of main street

When I arrived at the restaurant, it was completely empty, which was a bit unexpected. The bartender or waitress seemed a bit surprised to see me dining alone. She looked at me and asked, “Can I help you?” I explained that I was looking for a seat to have some food, and she followed up with, “Is it just you that’s going to eat?” That caught me off guard a little, but I went ahead and took a seat. She placed me by the large front window, which was nice—I could enjoy the view outside and do some people-watching. For lunch, I ordered mussels in a garlic cream sauce and The Bolognese. The mussels arrived with grilled bread that was soaked in butter—more than I personally prefer—but they looked fantastic. While they weren’t amazing, they were decent. Then came The Bolognese, which also looked great and tasted pretty good overall. It was slightly salty for my liking, but that might just be my personal preference. All in all, it wasn’t a bad lunch experience.

We visited here tonight for dinner for the first time. Loved the atmosphere and vibe. Service was pretty good and the food and drinks were generally above average. My pheasant entrée was outstanding and we all enjoyed the dry rub wings appetizer. The mussels were ok but the bread that came with it and sauce were the best parts. My wife and my son thought their lamb and bolognes pasta respectively were just ok. I would come back for the great location and view and try some different items.

The waitress Maria ignored our table and forgot to take our order for 40 minutes. She was serving the tables all around us and we had to flag down another server because she wouldn't look at us. When we did and she finally came over she was so rude and sneering at us. Then we finally got our food and then she ignored us again while serving all the tables around us. Never checked in once. We had to flag her down again to get our checks 35 minutes later and that took another 15 minutes. It was really disappointing because the atmosphere and food is good. Wish the service was better and tables without men got served too without having to continuously beg for it. Very disappointing service from Maria. Also, the bathrooms are GROSS like there was garbage everywhere and the floors were so sticky. For a place with no entrees under $20 we should be able to keep the bathrooms clean. Do not recommend this place.

Such a fun location with a cave and everything. We came here on a fun day with friends and a birthday. The waiter was awesome and guided us with suggestions and even allowing us to bring in a birthday cake that they cut for us. The food was great and although it's not a five for me it is still very good from their seafood to their steaks.

My wife and I walked here from our home. Wasn't really planning to eat anything but 2.7 miles in the heat and humidity can make you stop at this really nice restaurant. They were not busy for a late Sunday evening as every other restaurant seemed to be closing down for the night. We were sweaty and in shorts so we asked to sit outside on the patio. We've ordered takeout, and I'm sure my wife has dined in with her nieces in the past, but this was my first real visit to Feller in the eight years we've lived here. I got the halibut and my wife ordered the vegetable risotto. Both excellent. This might be the best bite of fish I've had in a very long time. Well seasoned. Seared and crusty on the outside, cooked through but still tender and flaky inside. Service was quick, attentive, but they also left you alone to enjoy conversation and the light music playing through the hidden speakers in the flower beds. We're making our way through the restaurants in downtown Stillwater but Feller will become a regular visit. Also perfect proportions so we could complete the walk uphill back home without too much difficulty.

Feller I expected more from this restaurant, its service, and its interior atmosphere. It doesn't have many reviews; however, I have the necessary knowledge as a chef and World Traveler to be able to comment on this restaurant, which at first glance is very pleasant. Don't sit on the patio or whatever that's called. The town of Stillwater authorizes all sorts of crazy people to drive by on their motorcycles and their vicious little cars with engines rigged to make as much noise as possible, which bounces and reverberates between the beautiful walls of the old buildings in that beautiful town of Stillwater, which will slowly be destroyed by the vibrations caused by the city's lack of authority to prohibit these violent noises, which do no good to anyone, not even to diners who want to enjoy a quiet dinner with family or friends. Very unfortunate. We couldn't stay inside because it was pathetically freezing. The air conditioning was set at about 65 degrees. You can't have a pleasant time like that. I wouldn't say the service was very good. First of all, like most restaurants, on a Friday night, knowing it's going to be busy, they have few waiters or cooks. The flatbreads were good, as was the dessert. The rest was so-so. Just asking for salt and pepper was a real ordeal.

We stopped in for a small bite as we just arrived in town but were not too hungry. Quinn, the bartender served us as the restaurant just started happy hour and other servers were just checking in. Quinn was very pleasant, friendly and attentive. We ordered the smoked wings which came 6 to a platter. At first I thought really? $16? Pretty steep for 6 wings. However, when the wings arrived they were huge! Also, the wings were half off during happy hour so we placed an order for two. The wings had a smoky dry rub, no sauce which was very different. I thought they were delicious and served in a beautiful platter. Served with ranch or blue cheese dressing. We also ordered the Brussels Sprouts which came with a gochujang and balsamic sauce and hazelnuts. It was good but a little sweet. Overall the food was good and our service was excellent. Give it a try if you are vacationing in Stillwater!

Beautiful spacious venue and friendly staff. Sit on the patio off of the main Stillwater street or venture inside. The bread here is made fresh and sooo delicious and a highlight. The bar is a vibe with cool starry sky constellation wallpaper. We split a pasta and had some drinks at the bar and it was the perfect amount of food for our '2nd dinner' haha. I want to come back to try more eats.

Visited Feller on a Saturday for lunch and sat outside at their patio. It was a perfect spot for people watching and the food was superb. We ordered the Creamy Vegetable Risotto and the Walleye sandwich. Both were so delicious, fresh & flavorful! Service was great and we were never left waiting for the waiter to come if we need anything.

What a cute spot! In the heart of downtown Stillwater. Really cute, minimalist modern design inside. Wonderful service. Small brunch menu, recommend the omelette! The pistachio dessert was the highlight of the meal. Yum! Street parking. One level, fairly accessible.

At around 3:30 on a Saturday, there is just a limited midday menu. We sat on the patio and split the smoked wings, foragers potstickers, and arancini. All were SO delicious!

One of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Cozy ambiance, good service, outstanding food. I had the bison short ribs with cheesy grits and it was mouth watering tasty. I'd go back just for that again. Cost was pricey but we were celebrating 36 wedding anniversary so it was special night and we both enjoyed Feller.

The Service is exceptional. Ambiance is cozy and intimate. The food is beautifully presented.

Delicious food on the Feller patio! We loved the BLT with fries, bacon wrapped dates and brussel sprouts. And the Aperol Spritz. Staff had excellent service and made sure we were well taken care of. Will definitely be back! $88 for two appetizers, one entree, and four drinks before tip.

I would say the service was wonderful. .staff gave great suggestions I highly suggest the bacon wrap dates to start out with, the ambience is really nice inside but outside it's nice but super loud by all the bikers going by. Regarding the menu , a lot of the pictures you see on Yelp is from the dinner menu lunch menu has more of what I posted , I highly recommend the birridas tacos super super good ! Messy but really good I think it's the best I have ever had !

This is one of the better restaurants in downtown Stillwater. It's modern on the inside, and we especially liked the playlist of music (calm and relaxing). We went for brunch and we really impressed. The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente (chewy). The burger was especially good. I'm finding that I prefer smash burgers over the more traditional burger.

The food here is exceptionally good: creative, balanced, local, delicious. They masterfully incorporate unusual meats (pheasant, buffalo, duck) in familiar recipes. They make their own ketchup and hollandaise sauce. The prices are fair, the service is kind and attentive. The ambiance is spacious and it was pleasantly quiet. Highly recommended!

Food was more than expected! Exquisite. My friend and I shared everything. It was the best food that I've had in a long time.

Such a beautiful and thoughtfully curated space!! Dinner was so yummy as well and would definitely recommend! Service was great!

Feller is located within the Lora hotel. The vibe is pretty dim and part. Parking isnt the greatest but on a non busy day you'll have to walk a block or so. On a busy Stillwater day it maybe be further. I had a nice evening recently enjoying dinner & an old fashioned. The old fashioned was solid but on the sweeter side. Buttercup Ravioli - buttercup squash, cream cheese, warm spices, pancetta, sage brown butter, & grana I definitely want to return as they had many items on the menu I wanted to try. I've heard great things about the burger.

great location in Stillwater. We ordered eggs Benedict, calamari, caesar salad & wild mushroom flatbread. everything was exceptional except calamari which was NOT the chef's fault. their supplier failed to remove the membrane which made the calamari difficult to chew. the aioli was fantastic! Our server was delightful & we will be back again

I really enjoyed this spot! We were staying nearby at the Lora hotel, and popped in for dinner. The food was delicious, and it was warm and welcoming inside. I was surprised it wasn't more crowded, but then again it was a Sunday night. Great spot for a low-key meal out if you're in town!

We go to Feller often! For a while they, removed the truffle mac and cheese and it was one of our side dishes we loved to share as a starter with four of us. It's back on the menu, but not nearly as good, The noodle is all wrong they are using now (seems they used to use orecchiette or a noodle that didn't disintegrate like the current one does-and turn to mush), the breadcrumbs on the top detract; and the little touch of a bit of cayenne or spice-that used to be a part of the taste, is also missing. The burger and fries remain amazing, and the zeppoles fantastic. These menu items are what bring us back and we hope they never change them.

Delicious! Loved the ambiance on a winter night. We enjoyed the wings and calamari for an appetizer, and the cacio e pepe, feller, and Caesar salad for dinner. We will be back to enjoy a cocktail at the bar!

I went with my adult son for a quiet early evening dinner...made the mistake of ordering beef marrow which came out with only a split bone! No marrow and a smirking waitress...very odd. I said, "There isn't any marrow" and she replied, "That's how we serve it!" I haven't been back.

Rating this place was very tricking for me! I frequent here a lot. I've had great meals and some a little less fulfilling. Lunch and dinner have been more hit and miss for me, but breakfast is always a hit! However, its location in downtown Stillwater as well as the inviting decor inside keep me coming back. It's a place you want to love. Also, the wild game options are intriguing. Just finished the Loggers Breakfast with a latte. The latte was perfect, and actually prepared by the coffee shop next door. The server was very friendly, and helped with adjusting the order. I was able to add some veggies to the Feller hash, which is usually undressed home fry style potatoes. The wild boar sausage was super flavorful. The skin casing was thick, so it had a bit of a literal bite to it. My hubby really liked the Chorizo Benedict. This is the 2nd time he has had it, and I'm pretty sure that is why we are here again! The hollandaise and saltiness of the chorizo compliment each other well.

Terrific food and drinks ( including the coffee cafe ) wonderful service ! Creative dishes all served in Historic Stillwater

Had a fantastic evening at Feller!!! I had bacon wrapped dates, feller salad and halibut. Some of the best food I've had in a long time. Great ambience and wonderful service. I highly recommend it.

This was a fun random stop. So much energy for a Sunday morning. The rustic decor and speakeasy vibes add to that amazing energy. The bartender was so friendly and made me an amazing blood Mary (I normally don't like them) The menu had so many food options. I had a hard time picking.

I was debating on if I write a review because the service and food was delicious- 5 stars for sure. While we were sitting at the bar enjoying our drinks before our meal, we witnessed some unsettling behavior by the manager. The bartender was very sweet and was trying her best to make drinks for the bar and the restaurant side and it was effective, if not a tiny bit slow. She was a new bartender, she introduced herself as and so we were impressed when she answered all our questions and made excellent specialty cocktails. A man came behind the bar and began berating the bartender in front of us. He was loud, condescending, and rude, I could not believe how unprofessional he was and made us very uncomfortable. I have been in the industry for many years and have never witnessed treatment to an employee by the (we asked General) manager. If I was treated like that I would quit and we witnessed him being hostile to other employees. We asked the girl who dropped off the food who he was, and she said the GM. Employees should be treated with respect. I had to write a review so I could, with good conscious, return there! Again- Food- A+ and, Service A+ Management- F Hope this makes it to the right person because that is not going to help the places reputation and we love having them in Stillwater. Try the Potstickers, Trout Benedict, and the Gouda Burger!

went to dinner here last night and it was outstanding. They said it would be about an hour wait, so we grabbed a spot at the bar which had really comfy seats. They serve the entire menu in the bar as well so we decided to stay there. Really great vibe in the whole restaurant. It's modern yet cozy and warm. The three bartenders, Matt, Wayne, and Jack were great! We had perfect martinis and hand crafted cocktails. We ordered the burger, Mac n cheese, brussels sprouts, and panko crusted walleye. Recommend all of it! We didn't take photos of our dinner but the experience was so great we decided to go back for brunch this morning. The coffee was so good. We got the wings tossed in sauce and Feller Hash. Wings come with a watery blue cheese - I prefer ranch, which they make in-house!! Can't wait to go back.

Unbelievable food! During mid day, their menu was quite simple, but don't be fooled by that. The food is BURSTING with flavor! We had the crostini as well as the pastrami and both courses were simply delicious. The crostini had super juicy mushrooms, great greens and creamy sauce, and portion was generous. Wasn't hard as rock as sometimes crostinis can be. The pastrami had super smoky flavour as well as tasty fries with house made ketchup! Great value for money and would totally come back. In fact, we plan on it!

Great quality food. The birria tacos are amazing! Lovely spot to eat outside and enjoy the beautiful town of Stillwater.

Visiting from Austin and I found this place for a girls brunch. Walleye eggs benedict caught my eye and did not disappoint. Something about the smokiness in the fish cake and the tartness in the hollandaise sauce just jived. It was definitely on the pricier side for the area but good food and creative menu made it worth it. The mushroom bruschetta was picture perfect. All the flavors and textures blended beautifully. The cocktail menu was interesting and I would have loved to explore it more. Alas, I was there for brunch on a Monday so I limited myself to one mimosa which was solid with very fresh orange juice and good ratio. Others in my party got the Valencia orange vodka drink which was also delicious but a little too sweet IMHO. The history was also interesting to take in and you could see into the prohibition era caves.

I am in shock that Fellers has as many stars as it does. Maybe the breakfast is good but our dinners missed the mark to put it mildly. Calamari was cold and very chewy, flavor was okay. I ordered Coq Au Vin which was raw! With flappy unbrowned skin, swimming in liquid smoke flavoring while the carrots and potatoes where hard with a strange flavor. Side of focaccia was not focaccia, felt like a cheap box of garlic bread from the freezer isle, also cold. Husbands dish was Cacia de Pepe with shrimp. Shrimp were also cold, rubbery and very over seasoned with lowery's seasoning salt I believe. The fusili pasta was swimming in what seemed to be Alfredo sauce which was at least warm. The Diet Coke was very fizzy though which was the highlight. Extremely disappointing, especially when spending over $100. I would explore the many other restaurants Stillwater has to offer.

This was my fourth visit to Feller for their Feller burger. What happened? The burger was outstanding on my three previous visits. This time it was overcooked and dry. I ordered it medium rare. There was no pink at all inside. I couldn't even finish it. The drinks were fabulous as well as the foragers crostini. The service was also outstanding. I have recommended the feller burger to many people when they tell me they are visiting Stillwater. I can't anymore.

Per usual, the service at Feller was not great. The server was not personable, hospitable, and very slow. We were scolded for bringing in our own bottle of wine. We have dined here several times since they have been in operation and have never had a good service. This could be a great restaurant because the food is actually really good, however, the consistently poor service ruins the overall experience. We are locals and I think I am done with this place until they fix the front of house.

Great service. Enjoyed our meal and the ambiance. I had a cute (and effective) espresso martini and read a book at the bar while I waited for my date. Only note: I think they could reduce their lighting by 25% and choose warmer bulbs to create the effect that the space suggests. The lighting in the women's bathroom actually *is* the right level of intensity for the main dining room but needs to be 25% stronger to support mid-meal makeup touchups. Come here, it's nice.

The restaurant was not busy and staff were just standing around. No one made eye contact for us to even ask for assistance and we were right on the center of the restaurant! Sadly it was my husband's 50th birthday. After 20 minutes of waiting for any kind of acknowledgment that we were seated at a table awaiting service, we got up and left.

The Feller burger is the Burger Purists Delight. Very simple, yet very well executed. Perfect bun, perfect meat ratio with nostalgic American cheese oozing down the sides. It is very dependable and the shoe string fries are crispy and light. The menu is very unique and honestly can't go wrong with any entrée. Pro tip: Top 5 chicken wings in the metro. Salty, smokey sweet, savory and surprisingly delicious

I went with a group of gals and we all got appetizers.. they were beautifully presented! But for the price we paid, extremely small portions. If my friends all wouldn't have shared with me I would have left just as hungry.. I'm glad I came but I wouldn't come back..

If you like very rich, heavily sauced/ or spiced food (not heat, just like every spice in the pantry), then this is the place for you. An Ahi tuna appie is placed atop an avocado purée, then topped with what I think was passion fruit, surrounded by 3 distinctly different sauces and (maybe) husk cherries with some potatoes chips on the side to scoop it all up. Net-net, we could barely find the tuna much less taste it. Also, my salad was swimming in dressing. They do have great meat options - and they're high quality and cooked perfectly. I can't stress that enough! Yet, my elk rack was topped with so much stuff (shallots, fried onions, smoked cherries) - all of which were interesting but way too much - that the main event is lost. I applaud the effort to get creative with flavors. But it's an expensive meal and I think I'd prefer if it were taken down a few notches and a bit more respect was paid to the meat. Firsts and second bites are delicious, but by the third it starts to feel excessive. All the desserts are decadent - no light options. I think those that think "some is good but more is better" will absolutely love this place.

I have been wanting to hit this spot for some time now, be sure to make a reservation - we didn't but got lucky enough to get a spot in the bar area. Love the decor and the layout of the space it's beautiful. Staff is friendly and practicing good covid precautions. The food was delicious! The kids meals were super good (obviously I had to charge mom tax and try a few fries - I think it's safe to say they have some DANG good skinny crispy fries) the pheasant was delicious and the perfect portion, all of the different flavors melt together perfectly in this dish.

waited over hour for bre to be served and was served Luke warm. No silverware so had to wait for silverware, no condiments on table and had to ask and still forgot Jelly. Flapja soggy. We had asked for bacon and they came out with polish sausage then said they ran out of bacon instead of telling that before hand so maybe could make a separate choic. Got bill and a side of bacon was on there and got charged for an add on which never requested that was the polish sausage. I went in got bill corrected and they did take off for a meal and they automatically charged 4% for compliments whatever that is. Service needs just as much help as the food and they are overpriced and will not be back

Quail buffalo style is a thing and it's damn crave worthy...I teetered between a 3 and 4 because of these, but it's not on the official menu. I made reservations for my husband and I on a Thursday evening. It certainly wasn't needed as it was fairly empty, but hey, I got my Opentable points. We arrived and stood at the front and waited, and waited. The two hosts were doing whatever it was they were doing by the kitchen area. I was getting aggravated. Why have a host stand? It finally took a server calling over to them to get their attention to seat us. We were then put in this awkward corner butting right up to a booth. We were practically speaking to the back of a women's head, and directly behind us was a group. With all the empty tables, you seat us here? She also didn't say much to us either, just plopped menus down and left. We ended up moving ourselves a table over so everyone wasn't in each other's conversation in the quiet space. So far it's not a good first impression, drinks were needed. I had the Prince Albert, and later the bronco old fashion thing. Both were delicious. Our actual server was excellent and super friendly. She convinced us of the buffalo style quail special. The rub on the quail was on point and the blue cheese cream stuff added the perfect balance to the crispy skin. We also had the smoky deviled eggs, wild rice cakes, and the Feller. The eggs were fine, it was missing the smoke, it didn't rock our world. The wild rice cakes were super crispy on the outside and moist on the inside...I was digging these, but we were missing sauce. The horseradish cream was the appeal for us ordering it, but there was a tiny smear of it. It could have been a home run with more of that horseradish stuff. That burger. Goddamn, that thing was good. This is the type of burger I daydream about, just your traditional all American burger. It came with shoe string fries. My husband hated their "fancy ketchup." It tasted like a thick Campbell's tomato soup. I agreed. Our server recommended their pesto aioli for dipping instead, that stuff was money, you need to sub your ketchup for this. While the drinks, quail, and burger was a hit, the service as far as timing was slow. If the place was packed I'd understand. But again, it was an empty place and it took more than an hour to dine here even though we ordered quickly. Overall, we enjoyed our food and we thought our server was phenomenal, I feel like she put our orders in quickly, but the rest of her team was slow. The hosts also need some work, they make the first impression for guests and their nonchalant attitude and coldness didn't scream "we want you back."

First time here this morning. I splurged on Eggs Benedict. They were done just right! Substantial, crispy English muffin, a thin slice of ham, and perfectly poached eggs smothered in yummy hollandaise, served with a tasty mound of lightly dressed friseé salad, which was a delicious green complement to the richness of the dish. The space is sunny and pleasant, and service was just right; friendly and attentive but not intrusive or hovering. I will be back!

We went here for our anniversary dinner. It is a great restaurant for a special occasion in that the environment is great, it's perfectly located in the nice downtown Stillwater area, attached to the very cute Lora hotel. The service is amazing and the wine list is very good. We also enjoyed the cocktails, well made and some fun unique ones. I give it 4 stars and not 5 because the cost of the food doesn't quite match the taste/flavor of the meal. Don't get me wrong, everything was good, but for the prices, we were expecting more. Here's a food breakdown: Walleye Fritters for Appetizer: the walleye was good and the ratio of fried part to walleye was Very generous. However, other than the natural good taste of the fish, it lacked flavor. My husband got the steak which was cooked perfectly, but he felt it was a significant amount of inedible fat. The butter it was served with was delicious though. I got the walleye, which was cooked perfectly! However, the flavors were hinted at being good, but were very subtle. We also got a side of potatoes and brussels. the Potatoes were amazing, gooey, cheesy, well seasoned, and delicious! The brussles were sort of soggy and the sauce it was in was pretty salty. All in all, it was good and we aren't regretting going here. But for the price, likely wouldn't return for dinner, maybe for a drink in between strolling around the adorable downtown.

Very poor service. I recommended Feller to my mom for a celebration over a late lunch with a 2:30 reservation. The waitress was quick to ask us for drink and food orders, for both we needed a couple of minutes to look. We each ordered a drink and split 2 things. We did not hear another word until long after our drinks, food and water were empty. No refills or questions regarding further ordering were asked. There were 1-2 other tables during our meal. I looked around several times and no one was to be seen. Once the waitress resurfaced we asked for dessert and our check, although I was ready to walk out. Food was fine, but the service made the whole experience very disappointing.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere!! Amazing drink list!!! Perfect place for date night or family/friend get together!

The food was very tasty with a nice variety of feel-good comfort foods with some dare-to-be-different signature dishes -- and feedback among our group was mostly positive. Unfortunately, when you walk into a white tablecloth restaurant and pay $75/person (or more) you expect top-notch service and results. The service was slow, at best. Our drinks took nearly 15 minutes to arrive and wine glasses sat empty on numerous occasions. Nobody checked in with us until 5+ minutes after meals were delivered and the attention to detail was lacking. The restaurant wasn't overly busy and appeared to be well-staffed, so I can't figure out why service was so inattentive. Further, and this is a deal-killer, I had a long conversation with our waitress about my food allergy. She provided meaningful feedback and noted my allergy on the order. When the order arrived - she didn't say anything, but my instincts caused me to confirm...and I was again, assured, that she had made a note on my order and was fairly confident it was honored. She said she'd double check just to make sure. I had already eaten 50% of my plate at this point due to the slow service...and sure enough, there WAS dairy in my meal. Thankfully I didn't eat that particular item, but this could have been catastrophically bad. I shared my disappointment that such a mistake had been made, despite our long conversation -- and her assurances that my food allergy had been noted -- and hoped that I might receive some version of an apology or perhaps a discount on our (rather expensive) meal. No apology was offered. No discount was offered and, furthermore, the waitress profusely blamed the kitchen staff (bad team player). Very disappointing. Again, the food was pretty good -- but the slow/inattentive service and the lack of allergy awareness along with poor teamwork have likely lost me as a customer for life.

This review is for the patio only. We did not go inside. I will update this during our next stop to Feller when we dine inside. We were greeted by a smiling hostess as we walked up to the patio. (Feller is located on the south end of the main strip in Stillwater, in the ground floor of a hotel). The patio was standard with metal tables and chairs. Some umbrellas to add shade from the sun. There is a thigh high brick wall separating the sidewalk from the patio. We had our dog (Harley) with and the hostess had 100% gluten free, organic dog treats with her that are made locally at a store next door. She handed a couple down to Harley who was very impressed. Our dinner plans had us unexpectedly arriving during happy hour so we had an array of discounted options. Their tap menu was great with a bunch of hard to find beers from around the US. I went with a Belching Beaver DIPA from San Diego. It was perfect. We shared the trout fritters and burger. The fritters were fried to crispy perfection, but so light and airy. The Pesto aioli they sat on was packed with flavor and whipped to a perfect consistency. These were amazing. The burger, tho. Of course this is why we came here. The burger is a bit on the smaller size (think nighthawks or Saint Dinette). But smaller doesn't mean bad. The three meat house blend in the patty had a perfect seared crunch with a soft and slightly buttery/salty center. Topped with local American, b&b pickles, fried onions, and feller sauce- this burger rocked! It's sandwiched in a house made bun that held up perfectly without overpowering its contents. We will be back for this burger. One of the coolest things about our experience here was how the server treated our dog. She brought him water with ours. She asked if he'd like to enjoy a special from the happy hour menu when taking our order. The wild nettle spaetzle left cold (uncooked) was her recommendation. It was off menu and $5. Harley devoured it not caring about the dogs and people around him throughout our meal. (He is very social and has to meet everyone he sees, so having him focused on his treat was awesome). We left with smiling and full. This was without a doubt the best dining experience we have had in Stillwater. If you are in the area and want a perfect meal (burger or otherwise), skip Lolo and come here.

We had already tried Feller for takeout during COVID, but we finally wanted to eat there in person. I'm so glad we did! We started with their mussels and they were arguably the best we've ever had. The grilled bread that it came with soaked in the liquid at the bottom was to die for. Dinner was the Feller burger (perfection) with delicious shoe string fries and the duck breast. We also ordered the brussel sprouts and the potatoes dauphinoise for sides. The brussel sprouts were out of this world. We ended our dining experience with the donuts! We left saying that it was one of the best meals and experiences we've had in a long time. You go for the food, but the atmosphere and ambiance are second to none. The space is just too cool - but not many restaurants are built into the side of a bluff. The historic caves from the old brewery are amazing.
