The location is very attractive, the place is over the drawbridge so it's got water on two and a half sides, pretty views all the way around. The re-purposed building is at once old and renovated. The minimalist sensibility was artistically designed which suited the party of artists and art patrons at my party quite well. Very convenient location close to campus, downtown and openly supportive of LGBQT human beings. Fear no Art.

I'd love to rave on about their Friday Fish Fry Perch. I had it my last two visits and it was…read morefantastic. Best perch I've had in years. I'd love to tell you the vibe was friendly, lighthearted. I'd love to say that staff, and either owner or manager named Steve modeled fantastic customer interaction. Sadly, my experience this evening, that would be a lie; something I just don't. o. I found an open chair at a curve of the bar.To both of my sides there was a cluster of 4 people. At the moment the guy was grabbing disposable shot glasses from next to the register. The females got a larger, I suspect a double, while males got a smaller than a full size regular shot.mI had noticed that 2h3n he was pouring for another cluster of peoplemwho at the bar. Lube the ladies with more alcohol. Jack Daniel's has a hell of a kick. I sat there watching this play out, followed by the guy holding court. I was hoping he was not driving. 10 or so minutes after I. Sat, a bartender /. Server showed up to ask me 'what can I get ya?". I remarked how much I welcomed feeling one of the staff people noticed me. Quickly, Bill in a blue polo shirt launched in, claiming he was busy but had seen me when I sat. He didn't acknowledge me with even a simple hollo, or something. I decided to go away, even Culver's would be better. As I was gathering to go the guy in the blue polo shirt was yelling at me about; away, please just go away! I don't need your money as&*le" So, no, I can't rate the food from this visit, but service. If Steve, I think that was his name - is the owner or management, he sets a poor example for the rest of the crew. It's fine if he wants to get convention adults drunk. So long as that's the only goal. When I tended bar and served I made sure to say hello to every one they sat, no matter what I was doing.

I am leaving this review in the hope that anyone thinking of booking this place for your event…read morethinks twice about it. The owners of this place are as rude as they come and extremely racist. My niece's quinceanera was recently held here. The following are just a few of the issues my sister encountered. When the owner found out my niece was only having damas (female attendants), the owner actually suggested my sister rent boys for the event. What does she care? Monarch Gardens refuses to serve soda and water. They make the hosts for the event bring in their own, but....they will limit how much you can bring. Then they will give you a hard time about how you serve it, the cups you serve it in, where you put the cups, etc. They also force the hosts to pay for security. When one of the guests at the quinceanera asked them why security was present, the owner said, "Because it's a Mexican party." The owner also asked my sister what kind of meat "you people" eat when discussing the menu. We were only given a short amount of time to decorate the night before, and the place was freezing. I actually decorated with mittens and a winter coat on. My other sister asked the owner if the heat would be on for the night of the event, and the owner replied that it was already on. My sister replied that it was freezing in the building, and the owner replied, "Well, you don't have to pay the $3,000 heating bill." Then the next day, at the event, while my sister was going thru the food line, the owner said very sarcastically, "Are you warm enough tonight?" My sister had the place booked until 11:00 p.m. At 10:30 p.m., the owners turned the lights on and started cleaning up while the djs were still playing. The djs were booked until 11:00 p.m. and by turning the lights on, everyone basically left the dance floor. The owners would also not let the djs in to set up until an hour before they were to begin playing. Lastly, while we were cleaning up, the owners instructed the security guard to count each and every chair to make sure every one was accounted for. I mean, what did she think was going to happen? Your hard-earned money belongs somewhere else. Please do not give it to these racist owners who could care less about you or your party. The above-listed experiences are just some of what we encountered. I think they like hosting these quinceaneras because they think they can take advantage on Hispanic people who speak little English. It's infuriating!

On the fourth call the owner answered, I asked about our date and if it was available for the small room since its a wedding under 100 people she said yes without even looking into it. Made an appointment later that week (sunday 2pm) got there promptly at 1:50 went to the door and it was locked. Waited till 2 and tried again, still locked. Walked around the place trying every door all locked. Called at 2:05 no answer. Called a few more times no answer. Left a message at 2:35 explaining I was here waiting for over a half hour and she never showed. And to call me back to have another appointment. It is now tuseday and no call back.

They started with a Salad that had nice combination of veggies that included some great little Grape Tomatoes. Sides were Green Beans with Almonds and Roasted Potatoes. Both were good, but the potatoes were so good we wanted to take them back to our hotel room! I even tried to get the recipe from the waitress. The main courses were Breaded Chicken and Pepper Steak. Again, both were very good. As with any wedding reception, the best part was the celebration of family and friends. Any chance I get to spend time with my family rates a 5 star experience! Besides, I even got my dance on after dinner!

It's a pretty great bathroom: it's clean, there's furniture, and lots of mirrors. I don't drink, but my friends were very pleased by the drink selections and the bartender was very friendly. When I came here for the work function, we utilized the space around the bar really well for our purposes, and then filled up the dining area. Food was delicious and I was provided with ample vegetarian options. There was so much food leftover after we had eaten our fill, and I felt bad about wasting it. I asked our server if I could take some of it to go, and she was very accommodating. She said, "You're right. It would be a shame for the food to all go to waste!" As a poor college student, I very much appreciated eating leftovers for two days after. Four stars only because the dance floor is a little on the small side. Michiels Fox Banquets is a really an excellent event venue to have in Appleton. I look forward to when I will find myself there once again for another event in the future!
