    I had the chopped steak, pretzel rolls, and bread pudding. My husband had the crab dip, ahi tuna and key lime pie. The chopped steak we delicious and plentiful, The wine mushroom sauce was delicious and made the dish unique from other places. The pretzels were soft and tasty, but similar to other places. The bread pudding was huge, dense, and had a very good chocolate flavor. I could tell it was not just a pile of cocoa, but real chocolate. My husband loved the tuna, especially the sauce that came with it. The crab dip was good, very hot, and with home made potato chips. The home made chips elevated the dish. The key lime pie was good, but not nearly as good as the bread pudding. The highlights of the meal was the chopped steak and bread pudding.

    I have been going to StoneWood for over a decade. I can say this is the first time I was not impressed. Will never return on a holiday again. It was Father’s Day. My filet mignon was not tender. Lots of gristle. The garlic mashed potatoes were watery. My husband’s prime rib was raw not rare. Service was very slow and our server was not attentive. Bar service super slow. If you send emails for a holiday, please make sure you have enough staff and a good chef. I will give this restaurant another chance as it is usually very good but you better get your game on as there are so many other options in the neighborhood!
    Stonewood Grill & Tavern - North SarasotaResponded on June 16, 2025
    We sincerely apologize that your recent Father’s Day visit did not meet the high standards you’ve come to expect from Stonewood after being such a loyal guest for over a decade. It’s disappointing to hear about the issues with your filet mignon, the prime rib, the slow service, and the bar experience, especially on a holiday when we strive to provide exceptional service despite the busy environment. We truly appreciate your honesty and your willingness to give us another chance. We would love to speak with you directly about your visit. If you are interested, please respond with your best contact information and we will reach out to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support!

    We had a great Father's Day experience at Stonewood! Peyton was very efficient and personable, making sure we got everything just like we wanted. Tamara, the manager, stopped by couple of times to make sure all was well. Several of their great servers also stopped by to say hello, including Adam, Nicole, Mia and Madison. It's a great family atmosphere! I had the dual lobster tail special, and my wife had a single lobster tail, and everything was delicious.

    Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful Father’s Day experience at Stonewood! We’re thrilled to hear Peyton provided such efficient and personable service, and that Tamara and the rest of the team made you feel right at home. It sounds like a perfect family atmosphere, and we’re glad you enjoyed the lobster tail specials. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more great meals and memorable visits!

    Our waiter was very attentive and very professional. The atmosphere was very nice and quiet. Unfortunately, the water tasted horrible. Perhaps it was unfiltered. We asked for bottled water instead. As a result, the mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese had the same horrible taste. Our steaks were mediocre, we requested med well, my wife’s filet was med-rare, my prime rib was tough and not flavorful. Will not be going back there again.
    Stonewood Grill & Tavern - North SarasotaResponded on June 16, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that your waiter was attentive and professional and that you enjoyed the atmosphere. However, we’re truly sorry to hear about the issues with the water, sides, and steaks — that’s definitely not the quality we strive for. We appreciate your feedback and will address these concerns with our team to improve. If you’d be open to discussing this further, please feel free to share your contact information so we can follow up directly.

    Another excellent experience at Stonewood. Tamara provided outstanding and very personable service. I had the Ahi Tuna dinner, and it was very tasty as always. My wife and a friend split the Prime Rib Sandwich, which was also delicious. The martinis were perfect.
