    Beautiful restaurant with an interesting history. Excellent menu and the food was fantastic! Had the 1/2 salad and cup of soup lunch. Choose the black bean soup served over rice. Delicious! After we ate we asked about the restaurant history and the assistant manager gave us a wonderful tour. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    Stonewood is one of our neighborhood favorites. The food and service were great. We ordered the Chef's special...Apple Butter Pork Chop, and it was delicious. We especially appreciated that the restaurant granted our wish to be seated at a booth rather than one of the tables. Special thanks to our server, Lauren, for a great job during a busy dining hour.

    We had an amazing experience here on Friday Sept 13. We arrived a little later than our reservation but they accommodated us with no problem. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful. We ordered to gyro platters and it came with salad that was so big I almost got full just off of that. Our food also came with yummy Greek fries. I had so much food left over I was able to take it to work the next day. I use to come here all the time when I was younger so I’m glad our experience was just as good as it use to be. We will be back!
