Not great this time as something has changed. Starting with A La Carte Menu changes, why? Service was slow, maybe too busy. Our favorite app, scallops, while good taste, was a mess. Half of them broken in pieces and plating was a mess. Then the main course , fish and chips were fried with skin still on which made them impossible to chew, awful. Cole slaw inedible as swimming in mayo. Have to says it had been our favorite place and hopefully, things get back to their usual standard.

Our reservation in the bar was not honored, we were sat next to the door to the kitchen and the host would not consider our request to change tables, our appetizer was served cold when it was supposed to be hot, and our entrees were underwhelming and not worth the price. We have eaten many times here and had a great meal; this was a disaster and soured our opinion of Stone’s.

Solid menu but they recently moved to a a la carte style which for me the jury is still out on. The place is popular though and we still love a night there.

I enjoyed one of my favorites from their menu -- the chicken, cheddar and chutney sandwich. My companion ordered salmon and was served a generously proportioned filet that she said was very good. Our server, Noel, was right there when we needed him and never intrusive.
