| - We hit up the Old Stone during restaurant week (yes, another tardy review - sue me). The place was hopping. What I do not know, since I am not typically this far out, is if they are usually this busy. I am going to guess not, but it is really tough to say. Whatever the case, the service suffered a bit.
They were friendly, but they were really slow. In a more upscale steakhouse, that might not be bad - but here you have an upscale vibe, set off by the televisions and casual porch, so it really needed to be a bit faster. At least they kept the bread coming and brought out the wine quickly.
As to the food? It was passable. What I found really interesting was that here we were, at a steakhouse, and the steak was probably the least interesting thing on the menu. Not bad at all, but the chicken was easily the best thing we had on the table. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender - possibly helped by the Cheerwine sauce - and the nearly bite-sized dessert portions finished things off well. I just wish that the steak could have held up its end.
