To kick off the review of Stone Park Cafe, let's start with the good. I purchased the Steak and Eggs & the steak was cooked pretty well. The portions were pretty big. I subbed out the potatoes for fries (classy I know) for a steak frites type of deal. This is when things take a turn toward mediocrity. The fries were quite underwhelming - something I believe is quite hard to achieve. They were coated in a crispy cover yet were surprisingly soggy. Beyond this, I ordered my eggs over easy. They came out almost completely cooked through, lacking any seasoning at all. The steak was somewhat under seasoned, yet, had quite a nice flavor. The whole aesthetic was a bit tacky in my opinion, the water glasses were tall and bulky, the plates were unnecessarily huge, and the walls were quite barren, with a failed farm to table-decor type of vibe. All in all, I don't quite understand the high reviews of this place. The portions were nice and the food and service okay, probably wouldn't come back. read more

First time here for dinner. There was 2 families waiting for outdoor seating, so we sat inside (no waiting) - it wasnt crowded. Atmosphere is clean and spacious. Service was okay - theres no positive or negative to comment about. Food was great, always on point, not much to choose on the menu, but they have good food to choice from. it is on a pricier side. read more

Have been coming here for a better part of a decade. Really love weekend brunch, but dinners are excellent here as well. Pancakes and short rib hash are to die for! read more

The wonderful farm to table fare makes this one of my fave Brooklyn restaurants. Given man great experiences for brunch and dinner decided to dine there for Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. Festive, traditional prix fixe menu: appetizer short rib cassoulet w/ fried quail egg, organic free range turkey gravy, white sweet potato gratin, sourdough chanterelle stuffing orange cranberry relish, truffle whipped potatoes, pumpkin tiramisu, chocolate bread pudding w/ caramel ice cream. It wasn't "mom's", but didn't miss a thing save for leftovers. Outstanding. Orig Post 11/29/13 #dodrinkdine read more

Tall, bald and older waiter, they said his name is TIM! If that's true. Because he ( Tim) refused to give me his name!! Of course!! I came here alone with my small dog on Sunday Easter 3/31 around 1:30 PM. I asked for a table outside. I asked the manger, Judy if it was okay to use the ladies room before I was seated and she said yes. I was carrying my dog, so it wasn't like I was walking through the restaurant! Also, I had to take her in with me because I couldn't leave her outside and unsupervised. When I got to the restroom, "TIM" said dogs are not allowed in here! Just like that! In a very rude and condescending voice. I said I'm only here to use the restroom, I have a table outside. Then he repeated himself and said, if it's not a service dog they can get in trouble. He shook his head and rolled his eyes!! What bothered me most was his attitude. His very rude behavior and approach. He could have approached me in a different way, he didn't have to be so disrespectful and ignorant. I complained to the manager, she apologized and said she was going to talk to him about it because that was not true! She asked me to ignore him.. by then I was already so turned off that I decided to leave and go somewhere else. This was my first time at this cafe. I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to having brunch here on a Sunday and after a very long week.. Sadly not coming back and definitely not recommending it to anyone. read more

Everything was delicious. Our favorites included the fish cakes (like crab cake) with poached eggs and the French toast. No milk substitutes for the coffee though. read more

Haven't been here in ages but this place always amazes me everytime. I love the variety on the menu and the menu excellent execution by the chefs. Shoutout to the kitchen. Had the burger this time. Nothing to complain about. It comes on a sesame seed bun and the bun to stuff ratio is good. Can come in three types of cheeses and with mushroom and bacon. Cheers! read more

Today, I went to brunch with my best gal pals to celebrate Valentine's Day. I was still waiting for one of my besties, so I went inside to ask how long is the wait. A host lady greeted me, and she told me it would be about 20 minutes. I gave her my number, and she would text when our table would be ready. My bestie arrived just in time for our table. Our waiter filled our glasses with water and took out the drink order to give us time to review the menu. I did notice that there were not unlimited drinks for brunch. We got our food, and it looked and tasted delicious. After some girl talks, we ask for the bill and pay with 15 tips. Also, they have two bathrooms, one big and the other super small. There is not enough room in the small one. The ladies want to get one more round of drinks before we go. So we ordered, and after ordering our last round of drinks, we were greeted again by the host. She asked us how the service was. We told her it was good. I informed her that our tip wasn't good enough and that we should put $6 more to show that. I told her ok. She walks away. I have never been told about my tip before. I think that it was rude and unprofessional. Our service wasn't that amazing to tip more money, and my party was only three people. Also, tips aren't mandatory. She is lucky we tip. We had our last round and didn't tip for it. Overall, I was not happy at the end. So, if you want overpriced drinks and a rude host telling you how to tip on your bill, this is the place for you. I will not be coming back here. I don't recommend coming here. read more

Never been here before but it came recommended as a Park Slope staple by a friend that is a Brooklyn native. The short rib hash was DELICIOUS, I just am not a big fan of potatoes. The fish cakes were just okay - my first time having them and it might just be that I have a taste preference for crab cakes. Appreciated the very generous portion of fruit, though! read more

Went here after passing it on a walk through Brooklyn and we were not disappointed! Great brunch menu and such an adorable place! We ate outside and loved being right next to the park on a beautiful day! The burger was perfect and the fries were crispy and amazing! Plenty of fun beverages to choose from! We will definitely be back! read more

I've been coming here nearly 15 years. No longer a brooklynite, i still pop in whenever i visit. Nothing's changed here. Still the same great vibe. Same great food. Great service. Coffee, eggs, drinks. A staple of park slope for 2 decades, still going strong! read more

Food is good, not great just good. We ordered gnocchi with ox tail meat, the gnocchi were cold and tasteless. The service was 1-2 stars but the host was 0 stars. The worst part is the rude arrogant Host. It was 50! Degrees outside and he refused to close the windows. Totally useless, nasty attitude and overly sensitive for a "host". Would not go there again. read more

Food quite good. Portions in comparison to a five star Manhattan restaurant. Meaning get an appetizer or small as they call it. Expensive for the amount of food. Service a big EH. Ten minutes plus after receiving menus waiter finally came over to take our food order . Never asked if we wanted drinks. Runner brings food out and. Should all be served at same time. Waiter should also come over after food is placed on table to see if anyone needs anything or if everything is OK. Whenever we needed something I had to hail the waiter like a cab . I'm sure he found that extremely rude and I hated doing it. Most attentive was the water filler aka the hostess For those prices food should be a bit more plentiful and the service impecable. Pasta and Arborio rice are very inexpensive. Fill up the dish !! read more

I love this place. I used to go more often before the pandemic, and my husband and I finally had time to come back. The food is even better than I remember it. I had the shortrib hash and eggs, and he had the biscuits and gravy. Worth every penny. I definitely want to come back really soon. read more

We had brunch at Stone Park Cafe to celebrate my nephew's wedding. The food was outstanding. It was beautifully presented and delicious. However, the highlight was the exceptional servive. Angelina from Dublin was incredibly thoughtful and polite but was rounded out by the whole fabulous service taff. They went out of their way to help older people who were less mobile for example I couldnt praise them highly enough!! read more

Food was delicious, fresh, innovative. New tastes and great wines. Service is excellent

I came here for a Mother's Day brunch today and was quite pleased. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. I had the spinach and mushroom quiche, that was cooked to perfection, with a side salad. My wife had the short rib hash which was quite divine to say the least! My mother in law had the steak and eggs, which wasn't cooked how she wanted to be honest (a lil too pink for medium well). My wife's grandmother and cousin both had omelettes that they really enjoyed; as did her aunt who had the poached egged with hollandaise sauce. I think everyone enjoyed their food a lot and planned on giving this place 5 stars. I liked the atmosphere and ambiance, it was casual but still nicer than going to a chain restaurant or typical diner. Oh yea, the coffee was strong and the drinks were tasty. Yet there were a few flaws.. Although our waiter was very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, he disappeared at the end of our meal, and we had to literally chase another waiter down to get our check (this took about 20 mins). The table cloth was stained (from what looked to be coffee). The burgers were burnt, straight up hockey pucks. I thought it may've just been our table but all of the burgers that passed our table looked the same. This is not the spot for burgers, you've been warned! Lastly, they're not that kid friendly, as they didn't have apple juice or any type of milk for the 5 and 6 year olds that were apart of our party. No kids menu, hence we had to pay $20 each for both kids (I get that's the standard price for their brunch menu, but a kids option would be nice). We also had a baby with us, which the restaurant was prepared for because they provided a highchair, however there was no changing station in either bathroom. Overall, I'd highly recommend them, but leave the kids at home and steer clear of the burgers, happy eating! read more

Brunch was so amazing and delicious! Waitress was nice and friendly. The environment is cozy and clean.

Very solid brunch place in the heart of the Park Slope / 5th Ave corridor. We went on the day of the marathon, and even then the wait wasn't too bad. They'll let you put your name down and then call when it's available -- not pulling some of the ridiculousness *other places* do by making you wait in line like an animal...but I digress. Nice brunch menu, pretty standard pricing for the area. Service was friendly and food delivered promptly. Food was tasty - I had the biscuits and gravy, and it was yummy yummy. If I order something else next time, would probably get a biscuit on the side just for kicks. read more

fresh pasta, specials are creative, great sides and desserts. The pre fixe menu is a bargain.

This restaurant never disappoints! The staff is always nice and friendly - super attentive. The wine list was all encompassing and the cocktail list was incredibly tasty. My group and I were big fans of their blood orange salad. I wasnt too impressed with the octopus or scallion & marrow appetizers! The entrees was though were a different story - duck and lamp chops were beautifully cooked and so tender as well as flavorful. However the ribs were a bit blah and boring so try to avoid the dish. As for desserts, the pumpkin cheesecake was a bit to healthy but our server replaced it with a chocolate dessert. Overall the dishes were yummy with a few exceptions but the drinks certainly made up it! read more

Every time I come here, I say the same thing- why don't we come here more often?! The food is SO GOOD!!! I have been coming to this neighborhood joint for years now for dinner. Never had a dish I did not like. The menu changes often, so I love trying new items. The brunch is always spot on delicious. I love love love the shrimp and grits. They must mix the gravy with something, it's so addictive. I can take straight shots of the grits and gravy alone. The French fries are done to perfection. The potatoes comes out perfectly crispy without being burnt. I have tried so many dishes here, and I have to say, each one is so well executed. The wine list is also nice, with a lot of nice selections. Can't go wrong. Service is friendly, bubbly, and so sweet. read more

I love Stone Park Cafe The food is consistently good and fresh The menu is pretty seasonal and they have a new market menu each day for lunchtime The service is always quick and the servers are very nice. The place always looks in top shape and the atmosphere is great whether its lunch, dinner or brunch. Its actually the only place I don't mind eating lunch at the bar! During my last visit we ordered the Cobb salad which was delicious, a nicoise salad which had great tuna and the most delicious tomato soup from the market menu. Delicious lunch as always. Love this place! Worth the hype! read more

We've been here one for brunch and it was good, but we tried doing takeout recently and were a bit underwhelmed by the food and overwhelmed by the respective prices. In the picture you'll see a "caprese salad" which we picked up and transported a half a block without much disturbance. This is what you get for $17 there I guess.....maybe you can chalk it up to it being better served at the restaurant, but If that's the case don't put it on your takeout menu. I got the fish tacos which were fine, but should probably stick to their staple dishes/main courses next time as it was nothing special. read more

An excellent restaurant in park slope. I went for my aunts bday. I ordered the pasta with the Italian sausage and Parmesan and had some of the bronzino. The pasta was delicious and full of flavor definitely wanted seconds lol. I am not a huge fan of bronzino but this restaurant cooked it in a way where the fish retained the flavor. The desserts were both good not great. Would return again read more

I came here for a birthday dinner on a Thursday night with a group of 3 people. Two of us ordered the prix fixe market dinner special ($43 for appetizer, entree, and dessert). I ordered the seared scallops with bok choy and shrimp over squid ink risotto entree. I also tried the endive salad appetizer and hanger steak entree from the birthday boy. I also ordered the pear creme brulee for dessert. I really enjoyed the scallops out of all the dishes. The scallops and the risotto were perfectly cooked. The pear creme brulee was light and not too sweet. The portions were a bit smaller than I expected but the ingredients were high in quality. The service was excellent, very friendly and attentive. I would come back for a special occasion to try other dishes. read more

After 10 days overseas I came home to no food in my house so that means I can go brunch. Not that I need another reason, but what the hey. So I've passed this spot countless times on foot and and on the interwebs of Yelp and finally decided to try it. So me thinking let's go at 11- 11:30am we'll beat the cool brunch crowd. However, I forgot about the family crowds that like to come out b/c mom and dad still want to be out in the world regardless of the kiddos. So there was a 20 min wait...not to bad b/c we got our text that our table was ready after 5 mins. From the outside it looks a little small, but once inside you see it extends back and has seats a few steps down. It was clean and cozy. The only thing that sucks is if you're sitting by the bar and people come in they are kind of hovering over your back. For food, we both got the short rib hash and eggs. ...Sooo Good. I do wish there was more short rib in the hash...LOL! We most definitely will be coming back here...maybe at 11am to beat the crowd. read more

First Part of my family member's birthday celebration - Going to Pinot's Palette in Park Slope to participate in an open session of painting on canvases. We enjoyed creating our "masterpieces". Second part of the birthday celebration - having a great dinner at Stone Park Cafe! Things that I truly enjoyed while dining at Stone Park Cafe: 1.) The ambiance was fantastic! The cafe is warm and cozy, there is beautiful lighting and their seating arrangement is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I really appreciated the fact that we were seated comfortably in an area with the heat on because it was so cold outside. 2.) Great customer service! Our waitress was friendly and pleasant and made sure that we knew all of the menu specials. The waitress suggested a fabulous white wine and the staff were very attentive. 3.) The food was delicious! The bread was with butter was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I had Lobster Bisque as an appetizer and it was creamy and tasty. My Linguine with Scallops was prepared well. The Scallops were succulent! Another person that I was with raved about their Steak w/ Mashed Potatoes and Sautéed Spinach. We were given two dark chocolate complimentary desserts with the bill. I will want to return to the Stone Park Cafe to try other meals on the menu. read more

Schlepped to BK to have dinner with a friend and this place was completely worth it. The food is phenomenally executed with the perfect level of done. I thought the flavors paired nicely with the food without being overwhelming and taking over the flavor. Our service was top notch and the bartender seemed to know all of her patrons - lovely to watch. I had the pork chop and my friend the half a chicken both were excellent. Although I did want another pork chop the first was so good! Would absolutely come back and it's a great date, friend dinner or meal out with family location. read more

Disappointed is the best way to describe our experience. Our waiter kinda smelled (dreadlock Rasta dude). He talked very softly and slow and we could barely hear him. It seemed that he was getting frustrated that we couldn't hear him...not sure why. We ordered pancakes, French toast and eggs Benedict. The eggs were hard boiled and not poached. The pancakes were ok, nothing to wait hours for. I will probably try lunch or dinner here, but not brunch. read more

I have wanted to go to Stone Park Cafe for years now - but the few attempts that I've made didn't work out since it was too busy. Luckily my sister is studying for the Bar and wanted to go when they open. We walked in around 10:05am (Sunday) and there were a few other tables occupied. We were seated once our entire party arrived. Might be that we were one of the first few people in, service didn't seem too warm. We sat down and quickly ordered the following: Steak and eggs- BIL shared that it was okay Short rib hash- heard this was phenomenal, but eggs were over cooked. The request was for over medium Buttermilk pancakes - sister said this was really good Bluefish cakes with poached eggs - this was the dish I ordered, was really delicious Build your own omelette- sister said it was good Overall, I'd give this place a 3.5 and would go back to try their dinner options. read more

Everything we had this evening was amazing! For starters, we had corn bisque, Frito misto, and grilled octopus. Then we split the pan seared cod, and pan seared scallops with chorizo and broccolini. Each plate came out better than the next. If we come back to the area, we will definitely be back! read more

I've been trying to have brunch here for what feels like months. But since Stone Park is so popular, there's always a wait. And unfortunately, when I wake up hungover, I need to eat IMMEDIATELY. If food is not made available for the face-shoving, I am apt to take my (h)anger out by spitting on small children and/or kicking defenseless little puppies. Eventually, I got fed up with not eating Stone Park's food, and decided to shirk my duties for a while and stop in for a weekday lunch. (Shirking is one of my favorite things to do.) Torn between the Braised Short Rib Sandwich (bourbon BBQ sauce, cabbage slaw) and the Chicken Paillard Sandwich (cheddar, bacon, avocado, chipotle mayo), I appealed to our waiter for advice. He immediately, decisively insisted on the shortrib. If you know me at all, you know I was leaning toward the Bourbon BBQ sauce anyway. It turned out to be a good decision; the short rib was fatty and flavorful, and the slaw on top provided a bit of texture and a contrasting coolness to the juicy meat. Perhaps it could've used a better bun, but I inhaled it happily. The accompanying salad with the lemony vinaigrette was also surprisingly good, and so I felt a bit better about choosing it over the fries. Despite being so pleased with my sandwich, we both agreed that her cavatelli was even better. It's rich sauce was so silky, and the only flaw was my own: I couldn't eat every bite. Stone Park lives up to its reputation; excellent food and excellent service in an atmosphere I'd gladly return to on a date, as a group, or with someone's parents. Because parents often pay. read more

It is hard getting a table here for weekend brunch. What, call off work sick one day just to come here for weekday lunch instead? That's crazy! A crazy good idea, because that's what I did. Everything at Stone Park Cafe is terrific. We started with the Octopus ceviche with avocado. First off, the presentation of it was adorable and it was beyond delicious. A very light dish to kick off your meal. I'm a sucker for squid ink tagliatelle, so that's what I ordered here. It was a little too creamy, taking away from the flavor of the pasta and the seafood. But the second pasta we ordered--the fresh Linguini--man, that one was top notch. Fresh clams, buttery & flavorful sauce--this one took the cake. Speaking of cake, figs were in season which meant they were offering a lovely fig cake for dessert. This was amazing! It was warm and incredibly moist, with a tasty scoop of ice cream on top. Now I'm not condoning playing hooky of any kind, but if you perhaps find yourself craving pasta on an unexpectedly free weekday lunch in the area, this might be the place for you. read more

Pleasantly surprised that there was no wait for brunch on a Saturday around 10:30 am. It was a gorgeous day so we sat outside. The service was excellent. The menu is interesting and unique, with many fantastic options. We tried a few dishes and all were delicious and filling. Highly recommend the eggs benedict, the spicy omelet, the short rib hash and the bluefish cakes. All come with toast and crispy potatoes (ask for their salamander hot sauce - so good!). And the poached/over easy eggs were all cooked perfectly. Will definitely be back! read more

Our party of 4 came in one Sunday afternoon a little before 11, right after we had just run a 5k race in Prospect Park. The wait for a table was about 20 minutes, or we had the option of sitting by the bar, which was no wait. We opted for the latter because again, we had just run a 5k and we (and when I say we, I mean I) were hangry. Now I normally don't order omelettes because I feel like I can make pretty good omelettes at home, and they're not usually worth the price tag. And that is probably the main reason I go out to eat - to try foods that I couldn't make (well) at home. However, there was nothing else on the menu that really appealed to me, so the omelette is what I ended up getting. You can choose 4 ingredients, so I went with bacon, tomatoes, spinach, and pepper jack - can't forget the cheese. This came with a side of home fries and toast. This could be the best omelette I have ever eaten - way better than anything I could ever make at home. The eggs are perfect - not just perfectly cooked, but just perfect. They look so pretty! Plus the home fries, which most other places use as a filler, were pretty good here. So I looked at it more as a complement to the omelette, as opposed to something to make you full because the omelette might not be enough. I only wish Stone Park Cafe was closer to where I lived. Then I could have their omelettes whenever I wanted. TIP - ask for the Salamander hot sauce. This might be my new fave. read more

One of the better restaurants I've been to in a really long time. I treated my friend here for a birthday dinner and we both had such an amazing time. Our server Tim was amazing and made the best recommendations! I ordered from the prix fixe market menu for $38...which included: 1) Appetizer - The Gnocchi with Oxtail was absolutely breathtaking. The gnocchi was made fresh and cooked so well. It was chewy like marshmallows and the savory taste from the oxtail was simply amazing. 2) Entree - 4 Scallop grilled perfectly with string beans. My favorite part of this dish was the sweet potato layered with onions and potatoes. 3) Chocolate Pecan pie - I wasn't in love with this but it was very rich in flavor. Friend ordered: 1) Grilled octopus - (poached fingerlings, Spanish chorizo, preserved lemon) - grilled beautifully and it had a soft yet chewy texture. 2) Squid Ink Tagliatelle - (grilled calamari, bacon, tomatoes, lobster demiglace) - Love the flavoring. Both calamari and pasta were made fresh here. I had an amazing dinner here and would love to come back again! read more
