I always avoided this place when I moved to the area until I realized J. Alexander's from lake cook road is part of the same umbrella and very similar menus!!! Went here with kids for brunch. Great brunch and happy hour specials. Fancy meal and experience that didn't break the bank. The kids loved the lobster roll and the appetizer bread. The service is professional and feels elevated. The decor is a bit old and dark inside but at the same time it's slightly elevated experience that is not rushed and very helpful and good quality. Love the variety in the menu - definitely items that become your favorite that you'd come back to. The salads are amazing! Cappuccino is great. Love this place!

We had a special memorial luncheon for my wife's Dad at Stoney River! The manager, Ryan, made the event wonderful and the main server, Dawn, was incredible! The ambiance was private and It was a wonderful event with a lot of great sharing about Dad by multiple generations! The meal was amazing, with chicken, prime rib and fish, with sides to share and great wine! We frequent this restaurant on a weekly basis and consider it the BEST in the area!

My first visit to Stony River I ordered the center cut filet cooked medium but when I got my food it was cooked rare. The server quickly had it rectified the manager, Jason, came over to make sure everything was ok and went over and above to make sure everyone at our table was happy. All in all the service was great the food was superb and I will definitely be coming back.

We stopped here for lunch. I got the crab cake. It was phenomenal. The service was quick. No complaints

Our entire experience was exceptional last night. We arrived and we were greeted by head host Isabella and her team. We were given an amazing table near the fireplace. Our server was Josh. He was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Salmon and it was done perfectly. My husband ordered the ribeye. He loved it. We ordered Carrot-cake to go. It is always delicious. Steen the manager stopped by to check on us and so did a server we had in the past named Crystal. Every time we visit Stony River we are treated amazingly and the food is always perfect. We will definitely return and would highly recommend!!!

Stoney River is an excellent choice to celebrate a special occasion. It's a top notch steakhouse that offers generous portions, unique cocktails, impeccable service and a cozy atmosphere. It's the kind of place you can feel comfortable dressed up or casual. I felt it was a great value, the prices were lower than other steakhouses of this caliber. A new favorite choice for birthdays and anniversaries.

Prime Rib was great. Service good. Ambience nice. Just a really good steakhouse .....................

Came here for my birthday and was so happy when I left! My belly was full, the food was delicious. The only thing I can complain about was that it was super crowded and a little bit noisy.

Excellent menu Excellent cuisine Excellent service Bar a bit noisy Costs are in line with menu
