   The Stones Common House & Kitchen had both excellent food and ambiance. The steamed mussels appetizer were in a delicious sauce that could be served as a soup on its own. The bourbon & honey glazed brisket were tasty and cooked just right, and I don't usually order brisket. I wasn't looking for dessert, but there were only two choices. I definitely plan to go back.

   No host/hostess to check people in for awhile. So we just sat at the bar. Service seemed much better there than if we actually took our table.

   The food was delicious. Got the goat cheese fritters and veggie burger and would absolutely order those again. The brunch menu was great, as was the cocktail/drink selections. There was a football game on TV and a baby shower in the back of the restaurant, so it was fairly loud and noisy today and the bar service was a bit slow, but we weren't in any sort of rush and enjoyed our meal anyway.

   The food was very good---served hot and plentiful. And the prices were more reasonable than I expected. It's a very large room which resulted in a very noisy atmosphere. This is similar to other restaurants. The service was a little slow and we barely enjoyed dessert because it took so long to cook the brownie and ice cream. The server knew we were going to a 7:00 show and should have informed us that the cookie needed 20 minutes to bake. We gobbled it down because it was a birthday treat. We'd go back for lunch when it could be less crowded. They had numerous selections to choose from and the fish and chips was excellent.

   We enjoyed our pre-theater dinner at The Stones! Yummy cocktails, dinner and dessert. An excellent choice before attending Greater Boston Stage Company.

    I made a mistake and didn't realize it was pub quiz night. We were sat right next to the very loud dj. Made for a difficult book club meeting. The service was fine - a little slow, but we got all the right food and drinks, and the waiter was great about keeping our water glasses full. The main issue I had was the food. It was just fine, but they were charging downtown Boston prices for it. It was heavy, oversalted, and just not great. I don't think anyone fully finished their meal. I ordered the brussel sprout and apple salad, thinking it would be light and refreshing, but 1/3 of the plate was taken up by a mound of some kind of crema/cheese dressing clump. Two of my friends ordered tacos and had to actually remove some of the thickly layered sauce or mayonnaise from the top of the tacos. If you're up for a thick, heavy meal, with a lot of seasoning, this will probably be more enjoyable for you than it was for me!
