   Great value, no wonder it is so busy. Wide variety of items on menu, all served well prepared. We both had the onion soup, on a cold day it sure helped warm us up, on a very cold day for Sarasota. Service was efficient and friendly. Main courses were Planked Salmon and Chicken pot pie. Both great choices. Make reservations the line up for dinner is extensive most nights.

   Wonderful menu. Gluten free options. Everyone was pleasant and staff checked in regularly. I enjoy bringing out of town guests here. Always something for everyone.

   I never give reviews, but feel that our experience at Stonewood Grill and Tavern was not very good. My friend and I were talking about from when we first started going to Stonewood Grill, they have never redecorated, the food was not to the quality that we remembered, and our service was very poor. Our waitress brought drinks, no bread, took our orders and I had to ask anotherwaitress for more drink and she told us she wasn't our waitress. When my drink came, they sat it on the edge of the table and if I hadn't been aware, the drink would have fallen off the table. Then we never saw our waitress again. I stood up to get attention that we wanted some dessert, and I had to stand up again to get our bill. My friend, said we ought to act like we were leaving. The problem there was only about 10 us in the main dining room, and then there was a party in the front room. I was a waitress at one time, and if the place is busy - the service is better.

   Chicken Pot Pie a huge disappointment. Warm "Grub in a bowl" with a cold puff pastry on top - do not recommend. Grilled scallops & shrimp a winner! Brandon our server was excellent, friendly and helpful.

   Loud and crowded. Not a big deal but just to let you know. The chicken bruschetta was tough as nails. I mentioned it to our server (who was cute as a button, but…) and she smiled and said “Okay”

   We do love Stonewood…but at our Birthday dinner for my husband, his main course had the steak vastly overcooked…as he asked for rare to medium rare rare and it was hard and very small!! and the potatoes were missing!! They did take it back and re-do it which came out bigger and the right doneness!! My dish ..the Blast stack was excellent…my favorite dish there!! have it every time! We had a yummy dessert for his Birthday!

   Very disappointed. We requested that our main course should be delayed after we completed our salad. This was not the case. Our salmon was served while we still were eating our salad. Our server apologized. He told us he requested a delay but the kitchen wanted a quick turnaround. Salmon was nicely cooked. Side of rice looked like it was scooped with an ice cream scoop. Fries were limp and tasteless. Meal was done in 45 minutes. I will never go back.

    The food, drink, and service were very good. The place needs a bit of a refresh. Booths and tables show lots of wear and tear.
