My husband and I went there about a week ago on a Wed night and the place was very busy, made busier by the fact that they apparently had lost several reservations and were facing unhappy diners waiting for tables. We waited quite a while and when we asked how long for a table they told us that we had already been seated. Considering you can spend close to the same thing at Flemings, this place is not worth the money. The service is not polished enough for the prices they charge. Mentioning the specials were an after thought. The mashed potatoes appeared to be of the instant variety and I have had a better Caesar salad in terms of taste and presentation at Applebees. The steaks were good but I would rather eat somewhere that I can get the niceities that go along with the price of a steak. It's a pretty place and the wine selection is nice but no matter what, we couldn't forget we were at the mall. I'm looking forward to hearing about your experience. Maybe we need to give them more time.

Went there for lunch several weeks ago and found it to be just okay for food and pricey. On Friday I went to the Porterhouse Brewpub near Doylestown, PA and my daughter had a steak sandwich that blew Stoney River's away for 30% less. If I find myself in the mall at lunch I would rather eat at the Cheesecake Factory or Bahama Breeze.

Same experience as Lynn and EEL: okay to good food with mediocre to amateur service and high prices. This is not a winning combination.

Is that a steak knife in the chocolate cake? I've baked more than one tough cake in my day, but never one that required a steak knife! What'd the cook do, mix up cement and flour?

That is a steak knife. EL

Isn't it more traditional to bake files into cakes?

Speaking of over priced. I had the opportunity to have brunch at Woodberry Kitchen today. Unlike others concerns, the service was excellent. Somewhere in the list of 100 things that should be taken care of are wobbly tables. On the Titanic ours would have been level. With the exception of the warm lemony doughnut (yummy), the rest of the breakfast sweets were dry and past their prime. (They only serve brunch on Sunday, so I am not sure when they were made.) Three of us had dishes that included the nearly ubiquitous fried egg. (oK it was breakfast.) The eggs were all solid on the inside not runny. Since my dish included a trencher-a piece of bread to soak up juices (I had to ask too), I don' thnink that was the intention. The bison hanger was perfectly cooked. The crab Benedict received kudos, the rest fair at best. Breakfast for four with tip $120. Next time I want to spend that money it will be at the Oregon Grille.

I too had lunch at Stoney River. Nothing special, but $10 for a piece of cake outside of the three coasts? I cannot wait to here what you have to say.

You got steak and crab at Woodberry (which you said were great) and youre complaining that you had to pay 30 bucks?

Im sure your experiences are different than mine, but I would be hard pressed to put oregon grille up as the pinnacle of brunching.

My wife and I had lunch at Stoney River a few weeks ago; it was fantastic. The food, the service, everything.

As for the prices, it is more expensive than Outback or Lone Star, but nowhere near as expensive as Flemings, Mortons, or Ruth's Chris.

My wife and I went there last Monday night. Ordered two glasses of wine. The glasses had dried crusty food on them. Asked for two fresh glasses and the same thing. Spoke to the assistant mgr. and he acknowledged there was a problem with the dishwasher and that they hoped it would be fixed by the end of the evening. (all dish ware had the same grit)

Jack - Did you and your wife stay and eat there? I think I would have had to leave if all the dishware had crusty food on it.

I was on business in MD, the hotel referred myself and 2 colleagues to Stony River. The service was okay but we couldn't understand anything our waiter said. The spinach dip tasted funny so we sent it back. I had the ribeye steak. None of us finished our food because it wasn't very tasty. Within 30 minutes of leaving the restaurant, I became violently ill and spent the rest of the night vomiting up ribeye steak. My colleagues did not get ill, but they did not enjoy their food either. We all agreed that we will not be dining at or recommending this restaurant to anyone.
