Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Dinkytown

Everything was really nice. Laura, our waitress, was personable and attentive without being intrusive. The Old Fashioned was nicely done. It has the right balance between sweet and the bit of the rye. I tend to like to taste orange and cherry a bit more, but this one was well within the range of a very good cocktail. My wife tried the Aviator drink which tasted like lemon juice and gin --not her really profile. The mushroom toast was really excellent. It the carmelized onions and mushrooms blended really nicely on the focaccia and cheese. The $300 Burger (for $28) was good though, the potato wedges did not have much flavor (just roasted and salted). The seafood special was lobster risotto. It was very good with a lot of lobster. The only criticism was that the entrees were heavily salted, especially the risotto. We will happily return. It is really a neat space for a nice restaurant.

Great selection of meats to try and to eat, you can get what you like over and over if you wish or try something new. The salad bar has a ton of selections including soups. All the servers were super friendly and were very attentive. First time at this location and would go back.

Great service - knowledgeable and friendly. Great wine- like the dual options. Good sharing menus. Best way to describe this place is quaint yet energetic, so it is good for conversations with a girl friend or a date spot. Highly recommend.

Wonderful service, terrific food. (Many vegetarian options) Great attention to detail from kitchen to servers.

The Chef's Dinner was our first visit to Stonegarden, but it won't be our last. From the moment we walked in, service was top-notch, and everything on the prix fixe menu for the evening was delicious. Portions were just the right size to be full at the end of the evening and paired well with the wines. Now we need to try the brunch!
