It was our first time there and everything was amazing. The food was so good. Loved the outside area. We will be back especially when you have the live bands and activities. Server was awesome too

We were there on an early reservation valentines day. We had several appetizers, salad and sushi. we ordered as we went and never felt rushed. Our server, McKenzie, was friendly and efficient she had no issue with us ordering multiple times. I watched her work multiple tables and she was very high energy. I also noted that when she was busy that other staff members pitched in and brought our drink and sushi. The food and drinks were very good. I'm glad that there is now a nicer steakhouse in Lutz.

I ordered the 14oz Ribeye med/rare. The chef cooked it to perfection. My husband ordered the Wedge salad and sirloin steak medium/rare. His meal was also above his expectations. We went for an intimate early Valentine’s Day celebration. I gave our whole dinner experience 5 stars. I highly recommend Stonewood Grill.

Our party arrived at different times and we were seated as we arrived. They brought water and we were able to order appetizers to hold us until the last person showed up. The food was really good. Sushi was great. Bento box was great. It was a nice experience.
