    The food was really good. The staff was very friendly. It was a little loud for the space size. I could hear the other tables conversations more than I could hear mine.

    We have enjoyed our experience in the past but this time they seemed very understaffed. We ordered our appetizers and when it came we still didn’t have place settings. I had to go get someone to get place settings. The service in general was very slow and odd. Our server was very nice but just seemed unable to keep up with things.

    Our server was very good but across the board, our food was not. My husband compared his burger to a fast food restaurant burger and my son's chicken fingers looked like they were the pre-made frozen ones you buy in the grocery store. I got the pulled pork tacos and there was way too much pork without good flavor and not enough other flavors. I ended up adding the pickles that my husband got with his burger to add more flavor to the tacos.

    I have dined at the Stones several times a couple of years ago before Covid. It is definitely not the same type of experience as it once was. The food was a much better quality as well as the selections offered now being greatly limited. The first page of questions asked to rate the noise level in a very clever way. The highest level you could give is "energetic". That may well be the understatement of the decade. The level was so loud you couldn't have a conversation with other persons sitting at the same table unless you yelled at them. If I was looking for a college crowd type pub, I might come back, but for a family dining experience I am not able to say this is the place to try. I had a simple burger, ordered with no cheese or ketchup. I received a cheeseburger with ketchup and everything else. I sent it back and the cheese was scraped off the meat patty which was very small and greasy. The waitress was ok but her English made it necessary to have her repeat almost everything she said. She was the best part of the experience in spite of that. I don't think I will be returning there anytime soon.

    We started with sausage Ragu flatbread with agave glow. We had the steak tips with wedge salad and the roast beef sandwich. We were greeted and seated promptly. Our server was one we’ve had before. She’s friendly, attentive and accommodating. Food was delicious and drinks are perfect for Summer.

    Although our server was very nice and the food was good, hardly anything on the menu was available. We were told the chef had quit a few weeks before. One of the things we wanted was a hot fudge sundae. Not sure why are particular chef was necessary to make this. I'm sure they are dealing with the shortage of workers but it was so bad it was funny. I'm not sure that I would go back. It's too bad because it's a nice restaurant and the food they do have is good.

    I have to say I loved this little restaurant in the heart of Stoneham, but the price was quite expensive. The food was phenomenal, but unfortunately you can go to another similar restaurant for great food for a lower cost elsewhere. Otherwise, it was a wonderful time and the waitress was very helpful and kind to us !

    The entertainment was supposed to begin playing at 8:30 PM but the restaurant sat people at a table where the musicians were supposed to set up and those 4 people did not leave until 9:15 PM. I don't understand why they sat people in the spot where they knew the musicians were supposed to be. Also, Why didn't they ask them to move sooner, because when they finally asked them to move, they sat with other friends that were seated at back of restaurant!! very disappointing..we were there for entertainment and they didn't start playing until close to 10 PM!!

    The service was fantastic. Fiona was a wonderful server. Also any person that came to the table. Food was extra salty. Most likely supposed to be based on the items I ordered. Kale ceaser and crabby deviled eggs but I took a few bites and packed it up. I felt bad for how long we were at the table catching.

    Very noisy and difficult to talk with your table. A fundraiser ran over which made the restaurant very crowded and noisy. It would have been helpful to know that there was a large party scheduled when making the reservation. Our server was great and the food was good but we were in and out due to the noise level.

    Food was very good and reasonable. Service was lacking....our waitress was below average at best. We had to seek her out for drink re-orders and the check; she didn't check in to ask how our meal was either - that would have been OK if she was around to allow us to purchase more drinks :)

    Had brunch on Sunday before going to see the show at the Greater Boston Stage Company across the street. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We split a lot of what we ordered and she brought us all the plates necessary to split up the large salad and ham and biscuit entree. All the food was delicious especially the ricotta donut holes! I will definitely go back.
