Absolutely horrible experience from the second we walked in. We were being directed upstairs. My 77 year old mom asked if we could perhaps have a table downstairs. The hostess immediately said there were no tables available. So we were shown to our table upstairs where it was extremely hot and humid. No air flow. We asked for the ac to be turned on and were told they had it off because the table in front of it wanted it off. It was unbearable. So I went to ask about moving us downstairs. Now they have a table for us (it was open the entire time- even when we asked the first time.) Then it took forever to get any service. Food came out slowly. 4/5 of us didn’t feel great later that evening. Absolutely disappointing experience. Will not return.

Delightful experience at Stone's yesterday evening. Atmosphere is casual but seriously good food. Deliscious roasted pear salad, steak, & macs-and-cheese. Cheery Irish music filled the space but still allowed for conversation. Charming old-fashioned space is charming is updated with, for example, high tables. Friendly service, prompt.

We always have a great time at Stone's Public House. The food is consistently wonderful, the portions generous. Our favorite menu items are the clam and smoked fish chowder, the fish and chips, the Guinness mussels and the cheese board. We've always gone to Stone's Public House following my daughter's voice recitals in Hopkinton. She just graduated high school, so no more recitals, but we are sure to find another excuse to enjoy Stone's Public House often.

After a long high school graduation ceremony and traffic, etc, it was nice to have a reservation at John Stone's Public House becaue we were all starving. My brother and I each had the roasted cod, adorned with a few littlenecks in the shell and generous amount of thick, crispy bacon with the creamy sauce, potatoes and scallions. It was delicious! My 94 year-old mother loved the garlic shrimp. Service was excellent and our waitress was attentive.

Stone’s I’m has long been one of our go to spots. Unfortunately, this visit was not up to the usual standard from a service standpoint. After taking our dinner order, we never saw our waiter again until he came to take our plates away. We had wanted to order a second round of drinks, but never had the opportunity. Food was great as always, but not the friendly and efficient service we are used to here.
