    My experience at the Stonebridge Restaurant was exceptional . From the moment I stopped to ask the gentleman where I should park my car, to the desert placed in front of me was amazing . The wait staff were very friendly and ready to help us at any time. They even came by a few times asking us if we needed anything or was everything okay . And the food … well that was heavenly . From the Aloha Bowl that we started off with and the crab cakes, to the vanilla cake and ice cream was superb. Decided to have the fish and chips .. out of this world !!! I highly recommend this restaurant and give it 5 stars . You won’t be disappointed!!

    We had an amazing time at Dockside! We reserved the Candy Cane Lane igloo for our annual pre-Christmas outing. The igloo was so fun, themed so well, supplied with heaters and even a speaker so we could play our own music. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind, fun and made sure we were all having a great time. The food and drinks were amazing. Thank you so much for a wonderful time!
