    This place is magical, what else can be said. The food is delicious, a mix of classics and new. Every part of the service was exceptional. This is a place you’d want to come for a special occasion to ensure you have a wonderful time. The grounds are breathtaking and the perfect setting for a romantic dinner. We had the abalone, halibut, burger, and lemon tart…every bite was outstanding. Highly recommend this spot if you’re on property or coming for a special occasion.

    While it can also be considered a neighborhood gem, every time at Stonehouse is special. The view from the terrace is quite spectacular. The staff is superb, they always make you feel like you’re at somebody’s home maybe a fancy expensive home - but somebody’s home. Very warm and inviting.

    Ambiance was amazing. Food was good but not great . Service was good but could have been better. For what you pay, one would expect 5 star service. .. but I would give it another chance. Plow and Angel was stellar dinner and service ( 2nd eating establishment on site).
