Had such a great time! Awesome food and drinks. We walked around the gardens and listened to the live band. I definitely would recommend going! Even if you don't drink, it's still a great place to go. They also offer tours of the brewery!

A really nice experience all around! We went in the evening for dinner. We did have to wait a fair bit, but it was worth it. The food was great and, of course, so was the beer! The service is top notch and everyone is super friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is outstanding and grounds are wonderful. Our only concern is that it seems that too many people bring their children, both young kids and infants. This can be extremely disruptive, which is extremely frustrating when you waited two hours for a table. I might would recommend isolating any families or groups with small children to a single section, away from everyone else.We did go back the next day for a tour of the brewery and Rena (not sure on the spell) was outstanding! Unbelievably friendly and energetic. 10/10 would recommend!

Perfect evening. Staff exceptional. Food and drinks were good.

Private event as taking place (we were not made aware of the event when placing a reservation). Due to the private event, we were not able to spend any time enjoying the outdoor aspects of the facility. Unfortunately this was our primary reason for visiting today. Indoors, we received minimal service and there were tons of flies, making it difficult to enjoy the food we ended up ordering.

Nice selection of beers and a good variety of food offerings. We were disappointed that the beer tasting flights do not come with a list to reference which glass contains which beer. They tell you as they from off all 5 glasses but one they leave the table it's easy to forget if you aren't already familiar with their beers. We told the waiter about this but he didn't seem to care. A list would have made it so much more enjoyable and we would know which one we liked enough to purchase.

The food was really good and the brewery tour was absolutely awesome! Our tour guide was so nice and friendly!

Not the old Stone, for sure. Server was fine. Food was VERY slow to come out. The food was average.

Everything was great! The only thing that could be improved is the wait time to receive the food.

We are very understanding with restaurant service in the current environment but...Stone's level of service is unacceptable. Also, it was clear that there were plenty of employees moving around slowly but not providing us service and they were masterful at ignoring our attempts to get their attention. If you like to order off a QR code on the table in a self-serve environment, then this is your place (although self-serve would have been quicker). After self-ordering and waiting 30+ minutes we finally got our beer. A bit later someone dropped off our appetizer with no plates. We asked for plates, he said he would bring them and we never saw him again. After another 10 minutes of waiting, I went to the waiter station to get the plates myself. The 3 people that were inside talking gave me a dirty look, said nothing and one of them handed me the plates with no comment. We had already self-ordered our food so we hoped the service would improve. It did not. We spent over 2 hours just to get beer and salad. Once the runner dropped off the food we never saw or got the attention of another person. The worst thing was....the self check out app does not provide the ability to exclude a tip (or it very effectively hides the ability). As we were trying to find a way to zero out the automatic tip, the app checked us out with 15% tip. THAT WAS INFURIATING! As I local I'm sorry to say that I can no longer recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of great places with good food and beer that will actually serve you and not force payment of a tip that wasn't earned!

Outdoor patio is family and dog friendly. Food good and waiter/waitresses are nice.
