While Marina was serving a "gender reveal" party in the private dining area, Payton greeted us warmly and got our drinks. That's great teamwork! After the party, Marina immediately came over to us as we were quietly enjoying our martinis. Our dinners were excellent; my Cedar Plank Salmon and my wife's Prime Rib French Dip. Marina's service was great, as always. Tamara stopped by to see us; always a pleasure to see her. Another great experience at Stonewood!

One person in our party forgot to take their credit card after paying. We had made a reservation on line so the front desk had our cell phone number and called us about the card before we left the parking lot. We are very appreciative. We recognize that it was a busy Friday night and this call took extra time and effort. We will be back!! The food and the atmosphere were excellent and our waitress was very attentive. We will be back!

Payton, as always, was excellent, very pleasant and efficient. We saw an order of prime rib au jus go by, and it looked so good we asked Payton if we could split an order and she said of course. We noticed sweet potato fries on that order, and Payton told us that they're now available for dinner as well as lunch, so we got them too. The kitchen was nice enough to plate our meals separately, and it was all delicious! Great service and great food!
