This was a four course meal preceded by an extremely large antipasto buffet. From beginning to the end the food was fabulous. The entire wait and bartender staff were absolutely fantastic and took care of everyone's needs with a smile. A special shout out to Joe and Claudia who were a delight. Their professionalism and kindness went above and beyond. I would give the Stone House 5 stars for any type of party or dinning experience.

The restaurant was quiet when we arrived and we were seated at a wonderful table overlooking the lake. The setting felt relaxed and welcoming--perfect for both a special date night and family gathering. Service Our party included a 1-year-old, and the staff was incredibly accommodating. The servers were friendly, attentive, and helped make the experience easy and enjoyable. Food The food was solid across the board. Everything arrived hot, fresh, and flavorful. We ordered the calamari, vegetable pasta with added chicken, pork chop, steak, and spicy seafood. The standout dish was definitely the pork chop, but every dish was enjoyable. Overall This is a great spot for a special occasion or a family meal. Between the beautiful lake views, welcoming service, and good food, we had a very pleasant experience. I would recommend it and would happily return when I'm in the area again.

Unfortunately, our visit to Snug Harbor was a bit disappointing. We arrived via the Staten Ferry…read morefrom Manhatten and walked the long haul to the Harbor. The park was very quiet- not a whole lot of activity. It seemed at one point, it was a place bustling with energy. The Contemporary museum was closed and appeared empty inside. The Secret garden was non existent- the entrance was boarded up and the building stored chairs etc. When I think of a healing garden- what comes to mind are water features and rock gardens. This healing garden consisted of trails through large open green spaces. No water features. Throughout the park, most , not all, green areas were maintained. Things could be cleaned up among some of the gardens and weeded. Kinda sad.. The info booth and restaurant was open. Don't think we'll return...

I really was so warmly welcomed here and they were eager to help answer any questions and just engage with some of the key points. So many charming things used to learn today. From mastodons of which you can enjoy seeing a 10-foot-tall mastodon sculpture : a woolly mammoth-looking creature which once roamed the hills of Staten Island in prehistoric days. Learn about the industries that thrived in this area for example, their chewing gum factory, the terra-cotta factory & ceramic factory. Such wonderful things created for people to enjoy, however, the Freshkills area and then to see all the years and years worth of efforts made to clean up the area and make it safe and beautiful and a wonderful habitat once again. It was nice to see that it's treated as a beautiful treasure. Grateful to the women who lead the groups that were very persistent in this endeavor. I loved seeing the erasure poetry activity.. where are we made poetry by blocking out the letters that were the writings of the museum's kind founder William T. Davis. Reconstructing his writing.. it's a wonderful little game that takes you slowly into his thoughts and his love and reflections of his town. I'm happy to learn about the founder of this museum and how he took care of all the sailors by constructing these buildings and giving them a home after a lifetime of working hard on the ships Very thankful for all the hard-working people that keep this wonderful story alive and in the minds of everyone lucky enough to venture this way.

I like the fact that it was very easy to get to and the large parking lot made it very easy. It is a beautiful entry as you come in and I would say that this is a perfect place for a wedding, I was here for a Kiwanis dinner. We had around 120 people in a large room with plenty of space for more had it been necessary. The room is big and bright with plenty of dance floor available. The team here is marvelous. They are just so cognizant of what is happening around them. After ordering a simple glass of club soda twice... they brought me a small pitcher. Dinner started off with salad and a vodka pasta dish, both were really good. The main meal was a choice of Salmon, Chicken Rollatini or Pork Chop. All fantastic. It's nice that the bulk of the food was all served at the same time. It was incredibly tasty and hot... perfect. I am definitely looking forward to my next trip back here.

Tip: Another good activity to indulge in when you're here is trail running.  There's not a lot of elevation change on the trails, but there's enough distance to get the job done ;-) Once you get a ways inside the Greenbelt you won't hear a lot of car noise, which is a good thing in my book.
