Our server Claudianna (forgive spelling of) was excellent & handled our table of 6 with courtesy & ease. Great atmosphere. Food good. Scallops were a bit on the sweet side for two of us with the honey, but seared just right. The ambiance is great, fire going on a cold day wonderful. Enjoy lunch & atmosphere there. Would like to see a more expanded menu of sandwiches or types of burgers. Fries soggy.

The service was great as usual, but the food was not up to their usual standards. The pineapple in the ahi had parts of the hard core and lobster salad had no seasoning. Hopefully just a hiccup in the kitchen. Kudos to our server who was doing double duty as hostess. She was great!

We had a birthday celebration on the patio - beautiful night, festive lighting, excellent service, food, and craft beer! Stone’s serves the best lamb’s shepherd’s pie outside of Windsor, UK! The smoked salmon BLTs and the pan seared salmon were also delicious.

First time back since the pandemic. The food used to be outstanding, but the menu and food we ordered was average at best. Example: the hanger steak and fries was simply steak tips in a sauce with a massive load of badly cooked fries dumped on top.

Wonderful pub ambience. Second visit here for birthday lunch with friends. Food good but…..lobster roll did not come on ciabatta roll, rather a soggy over buttered hotdog roll. Mussels, meatloaf, spinach, chowder & risotto all good. Fries kind of soggy. Unfortunately our waitress Kim was inattentive, think she was serving outdoor customers at same time; we were only customers inside dining room & felt forgotten….was disappointed with this. Other waitstaff did help….. eventually. Yes, would definitely go back again. Next time would like to just sit at bar with an appetizer & beer & watch the game😊. The other patrons in this area were a real nice bunch. Also, hostess was wonderful on arrival.

the courses arrived too quickly Chowder was delicious, one veggie side was over cooked and was returned. The lobster roll was watery. The staff was courteous and efficient. The noise level made it hard to hear and we could have used more lighting.
