    We had a wonderful birthday lunch at Stonehouse. All the food was delicious and the service wonderful. i had the Branzino and it was perfectly cooked and had a delicious sauce. I loved that it was served with artichoke hearts, a great combination. All the servers were friendly and helpful. The only thing I would change would be the bread, I prefer sourdough and maybe add a caramel dessert. We had the bananas foster, but the bananas did not get cooked enough to bring out the flavor. Overall it was a spectacular afternoon and then we walked the garden and were in heaven. I have never seen it all in bloom and it was spectacular on May 5! The roses were stunning, the lemon arbor loaded with lemons hanging overhead, the herb garden, it was all amazing and delightful. One of the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen!
