Update: We went back almost immediately because we couldn't stop talking about the first meal, and…read moresomehow it was every bit as amazing. The lamb shank was absurdly tender, the baba ganoush was smoky and rich, and yes, the ezme, beets, and pita remain mandatory ordering. But what really sets this place apart is the heart behind it. On a hard night for our family, a simple unexpected dessert brought genuine comfort and a smile when we needed it most. They don't just feed your stomach here. They feed your soul. I would go to war for this restaurant. An absolute gem, genuinely some of the best food I've had in the area!! I don't write glowing reviews lightly, but this place absolutely earned one. From the moment the food hit the table, it was obvious this was something special. Every single thing we ordered, from the mezze sampler to the drinks to dessert, felt like the best version of itself it could possibly be. Not one weak note. Even the pita bread was memorable. Warm, soft, fresh, lightly charred, and worthy of praise in a meal FULL of standout dishes. The mezze sampler was EXTRAORDINARY. The beet and goat cheese was one of those bites that makes you stop mid-conversation. The goat cheese was fresh, creamy, rich, and perfectly balanced by roasted beets that were unbelievably sweet and luscious. Honestly, they were almost candy-like. I don't know what they did to prepare them, but they were incredible. The spicy vegetable dip, Esme, was bright, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. Fresh, zippy, and balanced with just enough heat. The eggplant dip was equally impressive, with a silky texture, subtle tartness, mellow tomato notes, and that gentle pleasant bitterness that makes eggplant so satisfying when it's done well. The hummus was ridiculously creamy and rich with tahini, giving it a deep nutty flavor that made it one of the best hummus dishes I've personally had. We also ordered the Turkish manti, and they were fantastic. Little handmade parcels topped with cool yogurt and warm spiced oil that brought everything together beautifully. We didn't even manage to take a picture because by that point we were so completely absorbed in the meal that all manners disappeared and we just devoured them immediately. No photo. No pause. Just instinct. That might be the strongest endorsement I can give. The mint lemonade was perfect for a warm day. Bright, refreshing, tart, cooling, and mint-forward without being overly sweet. It tasted clean, balanced, and incredibly refreshing. Dessert completely sealed the deal. The Turkish revani was unbelievably soft, soaked through with milk, and had that luscious almost tres leches quality that makes every bite melt away. The fresh berries and raspberry sauce gave it just enough brightness and acidity to balance the sweetness beautifully. I had a cup of black tea with it, and the combination of cake, berries, and tea was one of those simple little moments that feels kind of magical. The restaurant itself is beautiful. Tasteful decor, warm atmosphere, and thoughtful design that feels welcoming without trying too hard. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuine. More than anything, the whole place feels like a labor of love. What blows my mind most is that this restaurant has apparently been here for over two years, and we somehow only just discovered it. We were legitimately mad at ourselves thinking about how many meals we could have had here already. Now we're just trying to make up for lost time!! For roughly $80 for two before tip, the value was outstanding. At first glance, the menu might look a little upscale, but once the food arrives, it makes perfect sense. The quality more than justifies the price. I've had good Mediterranean food before. This is operating on a completely different level. Without question, this is some of the best Mediterranean food I've had anywhere in the area, and I can't wait to go back.

I got the Golden Chai (hot), the Israeli Cigars and the Shawarma Bowl. With tax and tip my bill alone was close to $45. 20% Gratuity is added to groups over 4. The Israeli Cigars were tasty with the sauce but not sure if the 5 piece app is worth $12. The Shawarma bowl was good but definitely could have used more sauce. The Golden Chai was so creamy and full of spice. So delicious on a cold day. There were no complaints from anyone at our table.

What a wonderful discovery! My husband and I were driving back from car shopping and we were both…read morehungry because we hadn't eaten all day, so I typed in "Steak" on Yelp and up popped Stone House Grill. I took a quick look at the ratings and the food photos and that was enough for us to set the GPS for the Stone House. Entering, we were greeted immediately and made to feel very welcome. The dining room was lively but we had a nice table and soon had water and bread, which came with a delicious sauce of some kind that had vegetables and cheese in it. It was so good they should sell jars of it! We ordered some shrimp cocktail to start (those were some giant shrimp, although it was only three and four would have been a nice even number) and then I had the rib eye for my main. It doesn't come with anything so I ordered fries on the side. That steak was outstanding! The flavor, the texture...everything was amazing. It came out on a sizzling skillet and it tasted as good as it looked. It was also so big that I took half of it home for lunch and if possible, it tasted even better the next day. I was very pleased. The fries were also exceptional and even though the serving was big, I ate them all. I couldn't help myself! Since I took half of my steak home, I decided there was room for dessert and the chocolate mousse didn't disappoint. The food was so good and the service was so warm and friendly, I definitely want to go back to Stone House Grill. If you're nearby, stop in for a meal. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

My dad and brother love this place and reminded me to go here out when I said wanted a healthy lunch with protein. Remembering the amazing kebab in pita this seemed like a great idea. I was poring over the menu trying to find lamb kebab and nobody was behind me but I felt rushed to order. When she pressed me to tell her what I was looking for I said I was looking for lamb in grilled chunks not shavings and was pointed to the lamb pita or shawarma. I said again I was looking for lamb as grilled chunks not shaved meat. She said yes it comes in chunks. Nope. What came out was actually a gyro with shaved meat. I decided I could sit and enjoy it anyway. it looked appealing in its sesame bun with white sauce. Unfortunately more than half of this gyro meat was gristle and fat. Not exaggerating. I sat akwardly trying to chew around these hard lumps. After spitting out several bites as discreetly as possible I asked to take it home. When I got home I opened it to salvage the edible meat, but there was very little. The photo I took of the pile of gristle is too gross to post on Yelp and I don't want to hurt their business, but I want to caution against the lamb gyro. They have better options. Probably stick to the chicken for shaved meat sandwiches and only get the lamb as kebabs. I will try again with other dishes and hope to fare better. My kid does enjoy the chicken and fries from here. I will stick to delivery to ensure I can make unhurried decisions.
