Stillwater - Fairfax, California

Great food, small portions, bland service. The seating and atmosphere are off the hook, im sure if the place was packed, it would be a cool spot for the young crowd. Be prepared to break bank.

I always have a great time, great drinks and great food at Stillwater but today I got their pork chops and holy shit was this dish unreal. The 2 thinly sliced and perfectly bone-in grilled pork chops were accompanied by delicious mashed/pureed turnips (I think), broccolini and delicious grilled pears. Expertly done and super seasonal. I devoured it! Thanks, Chefs and Stillwater team. This was an excellent fall evening meal. Xoxo

Food was pretty good but not great. Oysters just ok. Poke small for price and marinade was too salty. Pork chop interesting with peaches but not the best cooking for pork. overall price up with the top Marin tier but not as good as the others.

My family and I enjoyed dinner and cocktails here at Stillwater. They have $2 oysters on Tuesday nights. The food was superb, service was excellent and the ambience was very nice. The GM helped serve our table, he was very knowledgeable about the food and easily assisted those that had food allergies. Wish I lived in the area so I could come more often.

Alright dog so if you're southern then the fried chicken sandwich is like a 3. Butttttttttt relatively, speaking this is probably one of the juiciest and well-breaded chicken sandwiches you can get around this area so W place man. Their fries, and the dill aioli that come with them are fire though.

My recc is to get the spicy honey with the sandwich but know that it'll be devoid of spicy. May as well just call it the honey honey. The honey with like two crumbs of paprika. And if you get the honey drizzle it in the sandwich cause if you dip your sandwich will get disintegrated.

The place itself looks great though. Great feel. Hand sanitizers were out and the bathroom is single-user.

Needed a place to hit up during our stay in Cali. Since we had an Air BnB in Fairfax we seen this spot that had oysters ? that we been dying for. They did not disappoint! We ended up coming here twice during our trip and pretty much got the same thing for food (oysters and fries) and just mixed it up with the drinks. The staff is great and everything was superb! The vinegar/wine sauce for the oysters was absolutely on point! Fries were fresh and great! The ambiance is nice and chill! Would definitely come back if we are in the area and would absolutely recommend. I think we ended up getting 4 dozen oysters between both trips! Worth it! I would recommend the “shandys not bombs” drink btw, comes with a nice piece of candy ?

Great cocktail menu. Really captures the feel of California mountains with a cocktail named "In the Pines" and countless others all made with care by their bartenders.

The food menu is quite good too. The chicken sandwich was delicious, tasted quite upscale but maybe misses some of the crunch of others of the same type. Definitely not complaining, it was great!

One thing that was odd is that the order kind of came out in reverse order of what I'd expect. We got two dishes, fries and oysters. So it came out, fries, the dishes, then the oysters.

Overall, great spot with a diverse American menu. I'm going back next time I drive through!

Get the fries and aioli!
Ok a perfect drink spot. Lots of amazing cocktails and draft beer. Excellent service. A pretty good food spot.

Here’s the thing, the food is amazing and super high quality, it’s just really expensive. I understand why that is, i can tell the ingredients are top notch and made with care. My only suggestion would be to match the more casual vibe of the restaurant with the menu. Maybe offer some variety in menu items? Include fries with the burgers? Don’t charge extra for aioli?! Kinda absurd but it’s more just my expectation as usually restaurants would not charge extra and would include more than 3 homemade super high quality pickles. All in all, it’s a quality over quantity thing so I can respect that. I just don’t think that’s my vibe.
