Testimonials

Went to Stone House last night. Peter, the owner ordered for us. The food was outrageous. We ate mussel, chicken wings, pasta, lamb chops, lamb shank, shrimp, and clams. I have never eaten such a great meal. Then came dessert. WOW is all I can say. We sat right in front of the fireplace. I felt like I was at home. I can’t wait to go back again. Thank you, Peter.

After coming to THE STONE HOUSE in January for the first time for a 40th birthday party I was very surprised with the excellent service and quality food. The meal was delicious and the atmosphere is unlike any other I’ve experienced in Staten Island. Since then I have been back with my Fiancé quite a few times and have enjoyed every single visit. The service, delicious food, and overall experience have been consistent every time. I highly recommend this restaurant for any of your life’s milestones/ occasions or just simply a delicious relaxing dinner! I will definitely be back as well.

This may have been my first visit to Staten Island, but it definitely won’t be my last, thanks to The Stone House. My little brother and I decided to come here for lunch before heading to the Staten Island Children’s Museum and we were so glad we did.

While it was a bit of a journey to get here–it’s in the middle of Clove Lakes–the little trek was more than worth it. We were seated at a table with these huge velvet armchairs in a sprawling dining room with huge ceilings. It was the perfect setting for lunch by the water.

To start, we split the Wild Mushroom Flatbread, which was cut and served to us individually. A nice touch. The mushrooms were perfectly seasoned and tasted great with the goat cheese and white truffle oil. A great start to the meal.

I then ordered The Stone House Burger, which was delicious. Always a fun of caramelized onions, I was seriously so pleased that the patty was topped with a huge heaping of them. Along with the chipotle aioli, cheddar, and crunchy sweet potato fries, I substituted my fries for, this burger was a winner. And for only $12 bucks? Yeah, I’ll be back.

Since they allow you to order items from the dinner menu for lunch, my brother decided to order the Lamb Shank. Not only was there such a generous amount of it (ALL THE MEAT), but it was so tender that it literally came off the bone. Not even sure how he did it, but my little 12-year-old brother ate every single bite of that meaty goodness.

I was kinda bummed at first that I didn’t have any room for dessert but then realized that this gave me a reason to come back soon. Sounds like a great plan to me!

I made an Open Table reservation for my wife and me celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, yet quaint.  We were greeted upon our arrival by the hostess and offered a table right by the fireplace. We sat in 2 overstuffed chairs facing the roaring fire and felt very special.

We decided beforehand that we would indulge in the price fix menu.  I started with the fried Calamari while my wife enjoyed a fresh Caesar salad. My appetizer was huge. The Calamari was lightly fried and served with a sweet Chile dipping sauce. It was delicious. My wife enjoyed her salad as well.

While waiting for the entree and during the appetizers we were entertained by a guitar player who had a nice voice even if he screwed up the lyrics once (it can happen to anyone).

We both enjoyed the Pork Chop in a cherry pepper sauce with a caramelized pineapple and sweet potato puree.

The total meal was perfectly prepared and delicious.

For our dessert, I enjoyed the warm chocolate cake and my wife had the assorted seasonal fruit.

The wait staff was totally attentive and constantly made sure our needs were met.

The price fix meal offers a great value and I highly recommend the Stone House for your next special occasion.

Living on Staten Island my entire life, I was really getting bored with the same old restaurants – until I came to the Stonehouse. Perched beautifully in the park, this restaurant exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was perfect, the service was great, and the food was fantastic. We were so happy with the menu it was so hard to decide what to order! Can’t wait to go back!

The Stone House is not just about the view; the food and service are awesome. The restaurant is inside Clove Lakes Park and valet parking is available. The entire staff was friendly and professional. The servers were attentive without being intrusive. The new owners have improved this restaurant by 100%. The wine list is not overwhelming and offers excellent wines at a fair price, that were also available by the glass. The bottle of wine we ordered was poured through an aerator into a decanter. For apps, we started with shrimp and grits, chicken wings, lamb meatballs, and fried calamari. The chef prepared each dish with a unique twist that enhanced flavors. For entrees, we had Lamb Shanks, Portobello Mushroom Ravioli, and Rigatoni Bolognese. The Lamb was served with buttery mashed potatoes that soaked up the extra sauce. The tomato sauce in the braising liquid was more prominent than the wine. There was a tomahawk rib-eye steak for two that looked like a delicious brontosaurus rib as it passed us by. Unfortunately, nobody else at my table was game for sharing a steak. The graham cracker mousse is a must-try for dessert. We also had the fresh berries in sauvignon served in a martini glass, and the cheesecake flambe which was a piece of New York Cheesecake with a berry compote made table-side. We finished with the warm sangria also prepared table-side. Cointreau and a fresh cinnamon stick are the key ingredients that give the sangria a unique orange flavor without overpowering mulling spices. The Stone House is both a casual and semi-formal dining experience, appropriate for celebrating an occasion, an intimate dinner, or grabbing a quick bite. Also great for groups. There is a Prix Fixe menu available Monday-Friday for $29 for 3 courses with the same offerings as the regular menu. It took me a while to turn off Clove Road into the park to visit Stone House, but this place will now be in my regular rotation.

I had dinner at The Stone House last night and was truly impressed.  The atmosphere was terrific, the service was great and the food was superb! This is one new restaurant that I will definitely be going back to!

“Beautiful Setting and Excellent Food”

Went there on a Friday night for dinner. Walking up to the entrance is so pretty with the patio lights on at night. The restaurant is decorated so beautifully for Fall. The food was excellent with a touch of Fall on the menu. The service was excellent! The new owners have done an excellent job! Will definitely visit again.

 “Very nice”

This restaurant is in the midst of a lovely park with views of Clove Lake

A wonderful restaurant…Apps were crab cake in a pretzel crust with pickled cauliflower and a Flatbread mushroom goat cheese. Dinner was a hunk of the most delicious lamb shank and seafood fra Diablo. We both had the warm chocolate cake. We tried the restaurant due to the great Groupon deal….it included a bottle of pretty good house wine. Would surely go again ….try it
