| - We first spotted Stone Mad Pub while trying to find parking to go to Sweet Moses. The building sits far enough down the street on 65th that I thought we were completely into the residential area. But then we spotted the stone chimney of the patio fireplace and had to circle the block to make sure we'd seen this magical place.
Tonight we finally went to the Pub. It was definitely not a sit-on-the-patio day, being so cold, but the fireplace was providing warmth for the smokers. Still, we wandered longingly about on the patio. We will definitely be hanging out there come spring.
Inside, the pub area is warm and inviting, with a fireplace and cozy tables. We chose to eat in the pub area, rather than in the dining room. (They have a bocce ball court in the dining room! How cool is that?) The service was quick and friendly, and the food was quite good. Ferrett and I each had the prime rib special, and our friend Bec had the Caesar salad with flank steak. The meat was all tasty and tender, the French beans that accompanied my prime rib were cooked to perfection, and the dressing on the salad was light and flavorful. My only ding on the meal was that the plates had not been warmed, so my prime rib was a little cool and the au jus on the plate got cold quite quickly. Otherwise, it was delicious and a very nice evening.
