| - I was at the Marriott resort hotel where this Stonefire is located. Because the hotel property is so expansive with so many amenities, my wife and I never really left the hotel during our stay.
So what does that mean? We dined at Stonefire for breakfast, lunch and dinner! A bunch of people from my company were in town over these four days, so that also meant that Stonefire was also our meeting place for drinks and appetizers.
When it comes to breakfast: Morning entree price points are in the $15-18 range, no tip. If you want the very nice breakfast buffet, it's $22-23 without tip. On the entree, I tried a short rib and egg dish. It's served up on a mini skillet, so it stays hot while you're eating it. This is a very hearty breakfast dish, but it's so damn good. You might want to try sharing it with people around you.
From what I could tell, just about all of their breakfast dishes are good. If you're into buffet, I can tell they have a really great, high quality buffet. But you've obviously paid $23, so it should be really good.
For lunch and dinner, my wife, work people and I did family style. I can't remember everything, but it was all good, whether it was burgers, fish and chips, fish tacos... They were all good.
When it comes to alcoholic drinks, beware their martinis. I was drinking vodka martinis with a lemon twist... Which are served in abnormally large martini glasses! One of my employees ended up having chocolate martinis... 5 of them... And she was definitely in bad shape the next morning. I had three martinis, and I was a bit woozy, so I was drinking lots of water and Gatorade the next morning.
All in all, Stonefire is great, although the cost is at a premium resort price. Aside from high prices, the down part is we didn't venture off to try food around Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Oh well. There will be next time. At which time we'll stay at a smaller hotel property. That way, we'll be motivated to get out and about town!
