Incredible experience celebrating my boyfriend's birthday! While the food and ambiance were fantastic, the service stole the show! Could not recommend this restaurant more. 1000/10
Absolutely beautifully decorated. You feel like you're walking into old Europe The holiday decorations with the lighted reindeer as you're driving in is very cute although it could sound catchy it's not Food and wine offerings as well as cocktails were good. Food was good, but not amazing. They also took off most of their vegan dishes Halibut was generous portioned Service was exceptional as you would expect Prices were to match what you would expect Romantic. Festive. Fun with a small group or just a couple of good friends or family.
Imagine a place hidden on the hillside with a cascade of flowers, trees and nature surrounded by fresh brisk air and clouds and sky. Stonehouse is a beautiful restaurant blended with peaceful setting that brings a sense of joy and romantic setting for our Anniversary brunch. The food, and service deserve a Michelin star. The experience was impeccable and one of a kind experience with a returning back feeling.
Absolutely beautiful restaurant, I had one of the best dine in experience tonight. I wanted to celebrate an early birthday with bestie before I left on Vacation. I searched on Google and Yelp for 6 hrs till I finally decided to go with The Stonehouse Restaurant. I had made reservations via OpenTable on their website. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation time and were sat immediately. The ambiance was off the charts, I enjoyed the live guitar and singing from the lovely man sitting near the lit walkway. I wanted to try everything off the menu, but settled with the yellowtail crudo, half dozen oysters, Korean beef tacos, mushroom pad ty with shrimp and my friend got the baby back! They started us off with some welcoming bites and three different types of bread! The bread, omg all three were delicious. Let me tell you something, the Korean beef tacos were executed perfectly. The beef was bulgogi flavored and very juicy. The side of kimchi tasted like there was an old Korean grandma hiding in the kitchen somewhere. It tasted really authentic. I ordered the chocolate soufflé for dessert and it was the cherry on top, so yum. I'm already planning on coming back, 10/10 experience would recommend.
SOLID 3.5, but rounding up to 4. The location is BEAUTIFUL--cobblestone paths lined with mature olive trees, a chef's garden, and those old-school fancy bathrooms with actual hand towels. It gave off serious old-money, South of France vibes. It's a great spot for a celebration or just when you feel like dining somewhere fancy in the 805. One of the highlights was the tableside smoked cocktail. They smoke it with different types of wood to complement the drink, and the whole process is a fun little show. But as for the food, it was a bit hit or miss. Some dishes were more successful than others. Oysters, hit. SO fresh and loved the strawberry mignonette. There were shards of shells in some of them though. The ceviche was okay. It came in a martini glass with couple plantain chips, which looked great for photos but made it tricky to eat. We were trying not to tip the glass over--no one wants a broken glassware fee, lol. The ceviche at Alma Fonda Fina nearby has sooo much more depth in flavor. The lobster dim sum was a cool concept, but the gyozas were dry and some were overcooked, which was pretty obvious from the wrapper. The beurre blanc sauce didn't really do much for the dish either. The Korean tacos had tender, flavorful meat, but the tortilla was super thin and started falling apart as soon as I picked it up. The kimchi that came with it? Let's just say it was... interesting. The gochujang flavor was pretty much nonexistent. The BLT was just okay, nothing to rave about. Where they really shined was the service. True white-cloth dining--course resets, chargers, someone adjusting heat lamps with a tablet, and constant beverage refills. The Front of House staff were the epitome of hospitality and definitely elevated the overall experience, making up for the average showing from the kitchen that day. Big applause to them!
An absolutely incredibly dining experience. I took my grandparents to lunch at Stonehouse to celebrate my grandfather's birthday. It was one of the best dining experiences of my life. The service was absolutely fantastic. Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and had a great sense of humor. He treated my grandfather like a king in celebration of his birthday, and made our entire experience first class. We had the local strawberry gazpacho and Japanese yellowtail crisp to start. Both were light and fresh with lovely flavors. I particularly enjoyed the gazpacho with the hint of basil flavoring. For entrees we had the branzino, SYR burger, and SYR poke bowl. The branzino was the table favorite! For dessert we indulged in the baked Alaska and lemon meringue. Overall incredible meal in a gorgeous setting with 5 star service. Thank you, Stonehouse!
This place is incredible. We went on a Monday afternoon for lunch. The grounds around the restaurant are breathtaking and are a must-see before or after you eat. The food was delicious and our waiter was very friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and they made her feel special and even brought her a happy birthday cake! We ordered the Korean tacos, salmon salad, chicken Milanese, and a White Sea bass. Everyone said everything was delicious and they would order it again. We then got the lemon tart for dessert and it too was wonderful. Side note- my girlfriend got the smoked margarita and said it was the best drink she's ever had. I would recommend and wish I could come back.
Do you want champagne brunch? You're definitely gonna pay for it... and thankfully, it was worth it. While on our annual ladies' trip, my friend made reservs here for our last group outing. The 1st thing you notice ate the grounds of the place... Beautiful! Every part of this place is picturesque. Once seated outside in the shade, we delved into the menu. You get unlimited mimosas, bellinis, or just champagne w/ a starter, entree, & dessert for $100, I believe. You can 7 the champagne for a ridiculous 7 that's not my ministry. I had the grilled peach stuffed Avocado...definitely refreshing. Then the steak w/ eggs...flavorful. Lastly, for dessert, I had the cuatatd that was like flan. Our waiter said it was popular, but I enjoyed it, especially the firmer texture. I can't remember what my friends had b/c I was tooooo focused on my plate lol. After, we definitely roamed and did a fake photoshoot...lol! You must, it's too gorgeous. If you wanna splurge a bit, definitely come here!
