I had an excellent first experience at Stone Mad. The staff an environment are welcoming! I located the restaurant easily and there was ample parking on the street out front or in their lot. Very conveniently close to the Capitol movie theater.. great place to eat before catching a movie. That's exactly what my friend and I did.
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable about the menu as well as the numerous specials.. and the service was JUST RIGHT. They were there with everything we wanted without being overly attentive either. That is how service should be!! We sat in the middle bar area and it was very cozy!
The was a few moments of confusion about our reservation when we arrived but that was no big deal.
I had the pork chop and it was superb, as were the steamed veggies I subbed in. My friend had the fish fry and liked it but said it wasn't mind blowing. Our shared app of mussels were divine!
Also the pickles you start out with are excellent and made in house. The kosher and dill are both SO good I got some to go!
Can't believe it took me this long to try this place, I will be back soon. ALso looking forward to enjoying their patio... VERY cool looking....all stone and fireplaces too!
Bravo!
