The first time I went to Stone Mad, it was very early October and a perfect night for a fire in the outdoor fireplace. While they normally only do that on the weekends, my friend asked nice and boom... fuego! We had many drinks and an excellent time.
Forward six months to the second visit, this time joined by three lovely Yelpers at our Newbie Event. We were invited to sit at the large half-circle booth near the back (no outside fireplace option this time). Our server was attentive and friendly and I made new friends with the bacon and apple vinegar-sauteed brussels sprouts as well as the incredibly delicious polenta in addition to the Yelp folks.
It's lovely and quiet during the week, the bar is a lovely spot to gather but not really great for groups. It's large, but you'll mostly be standing as the seating is all parameter. If it's nice out, go to the patio. If it's not, stay in because it's really cozy in there.
