A word from Stone Balloon Winehouse

The grounds once shaken by Rock & Roll legends Bruce Springsteen & Metallica now lay host Chef Andy Matulaitis' culinary adventure. The cuisine is worldly & rustic with a perfect touch of new American excitement.

Voted “Best New Wine List” in Delaware, the Stone Balloon’s 250 offerings are available in the restaurant or to-go from the wine shop. The affordable & diverse list includes rare First Growth Bordeauxs, Napa Valley Cult Cabernets, & over 30 wines by the glass. Enjoy complimentary garage parking, easy access from I-95, lunch & dinner every day, Sunday Brunch, & Private Dining Space on the Mezzanine.

"Fabulous food with great service! They were very flexible with the menu to make excellent gluten free meals for my Celiac disease family members. Will definitely be returning to enjoy another wonderful meal!"

"Food and service were excellent. Was there for a business dinner that was a new client ice breaker - I let the server know up front that we would likely be grazing, and there for an extended period. He was more than accommodating, didn't hover or press for meal orders. Artisan cheese plate to start - good choices, and strong accoutrment pairings. Lamb entee was cooked perfectly, and came timely. Overall, an excellent meal. My only complaint was the banana bread pudding for desert - the toffee was just too sticky, and there was too much of it - I spent more time dealing with the super sweetness of it in my mouth than I did enjoying the balance of the dessert, which, save for the toffee issue, was excellent. Creme Brulee was delicious."

"This is our "special occasion" restaurant - we took friends who were in our wedding but we haven't seen in 9 years to the SBW and it didn't disappoint. Food was delicious, service was attentive and prices were reasonable for what you would expect from a high end restaurant."

"The Stone Balloon is very loud and not very kid friendly. The lighting is dim and it is difficult to hold a conversation. The food is very good but is over priced for the portion sizes."

"Having been to Stone Balloon a few times before we knew we would not be disappointed. However we indulged more than normal as this was to celebrate my birthday getting wine, nicer entrees and dessert. It was all very good and you won't be disappointed with the quality of the food, variety of wine, and the service. Being novice wine drinkers the server was very good on suggesting wine pairings that were perfect for our meals and this is something that I'm not sure I would expect at other places. Well worth the money."

"The hostess tried to act refined and nice, but when she kept addressing my boyfriend instead of me I drew the line (you could tell she was one of THOSE girls... And i mean "girl"!) Our waiter was knowledgable, friendly and attentive... The place was dead, though. So, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it. The lobster mac 'n cheese left something to be desired. The entrees were quite good... I had the 7 Beast Burger with the house special risotto- the burger was wonderful, the risotto was undercooked. My boyfriend had the lamb chops... Ehh, we've had better. The atmosphere was trendy and somewhat "romantic". I would not want to eat here if there was crowd, so I'm glad we sampled early. We did not have desert."
