Couple of friends of mine went to dinner here anticipating a wait time but we were seated immediately! Josh was our server and he was top notch! He made our dining experience fantastic! Food was amazing! I will be dining there when I am in the area again! read more

Stonewood Grill & Tavern - I had Shrimp and scallops with garlic mashed potatoes. AMAZING! - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I must admit that it's been a little over 5 years since we last visited this restaurant. Our last couple of experiences were less than stellar. It was the inconsistencies with the quality of the prime rib that kept me from returning. We decided to go back recently for an early birthday dinner. It's conveniently located in our neighborhood. The atmosphere has definitely changed. I noticed it immediately when we entered. It's a smaller staff than before. We remember being greeted right away (even at opening time). This time, there was no one at the reception stand. We waited for a few minutes knowing there was a larger group that was there before us. I believe it was the bartender (maybe the host) who eventually greeted & seated us. Melissa got everything started with our drink order. She was great! I really liked that she had the right amount of attentiveness. We never had to wave her over for anything. She also confirmed that the pretzel sticks are now an additional charge. To be honest, I never liked them that much anyway. I didn't get to take a picture of my husband's Wedge Salad. He started eating it right away. I was impressed with my House Salad. It looked and tasted so fresh. He was also happy with his Peach Bourbon Pork Chop, although he did say that the sauce was a little too sweet for him. We both agreed that it was tender, and not dry. It's a good choice. I had the Delmonico Ribeye, and it was prepared and seasoned perfectly. Loved it! I had leftovers the next day, and it was just as tasty. It's my new favorite steak in the area. Our last Texas Roadhouse and Outback steak experiences were horrible. This one at Stonewood is more expensive, but it was worth it. Now, I don't know how it will be the next time so don't quote me on this. As I mentioned before, there have been inconsistencies in the past. However, I will say that the cocktails & service here have always been very good. I will go back for the steak. I'm not sure that I'd order the Prime Rib again. I'll save that experiment for another day when it's not a special occasion. Give it a try if you happen to be in Brandon. They also have a location in Tampa Palms which appears to be more popular. It's a Florida (originated in Ormond Beach) restaurant chain that has been around for over 20 years. It deserves more praise. read more

We absolutely need more restaurants in our area, but I'm so thankful we have Stonewood Grill by us! The food is always excellent, but don't get me started on their martinis!! The bar tenders are spot on every single time. They have great seasonal menus with new items to try. Such a nice warm and inviting atmosphere. Perfect date night location or dinner with friend! read more

The portions here are no joke! If you get an appetizer, you will be taking half your dinner home. We had a very friendly server. Overall a good experience here. I would definitely come back when in the area. read more

Beautiful restaurant and food is always delicious. A little on the pricey side so it's perfect for special occasions

Are you MAGA? Are you part of the cult that worships Drumpf?!? Do you like run of the mill sub par dining and watered down drinks? Then this is the place for you. Just donus a favor, and stay away from the good restaurants in the area. read more

The atmosphere is very romantic. Our server was great and attentive! We had a reservation but still had to wait to be seated. I hadn't been here in a couple years so the menu changed. I was excited to go there just for their brucetta which USED to be excellent!! They changed the bread they serve it on so it was disappointing. It wasn't crunchy and toasted. The Blueberry martini was delicious! I also had the blue cheese iceberg lettuce salad and it was good. The bleu cheese hips were a hit as well. I can say I won't be going back. read more

Decided to get a late dinner tonight with hubby and stopped by Stonewood Grill. I've been a few times and it did not disappoint. I had a pomegranate martini, bread service and me and hubby split a bacon Jam burger. Everything was really good including the service. The burger was beautifully seasoned. As a personal touch, they pre-split our burger and arranged it beautifully on two separate plates without even asking when we told them we were sharing. That was such a great touch and meant a lot in our experience. We ordered a bananas foster cheesecake to go. We took a few bites bf we left. It was one of the best I've had. We will definitely be back. 10 out of 10! Definitely recommend! read more

Came here for NYE. Our reservations were for 8 and we finally were seated about 8:45. Our waiter was good considering it was only his 2nd night. Our appetizers of bruschetta and baked brie came out and were delightful. Then it went down hill from there. My mother-in-law ordered a ribeye with regular Yukon gold mashed potatoes. It came out medium well with garlic mashed potatoes but took over an hour so she didn't send it back because we didn't want to wait on another one. My pork chop dish just looked sad. The picture showed 2 bone-in pork chops and they only sent out one and forgot to plate it on the garlic mashed potatoes. So I had to ask for a side. My son's dish was the only one that came out correctly. He had med rare surf and turf. And the peach cobbler wasn't good. Not a fan. Should've tried Donovan's! Will not be back! read more

Stopped by for some appetizers and drinks. Upon arriving we were very lucky to find 2 spots at the bar which was perfect for conversation while keeping an eye on the game. The server / bartender was friendly and drinks were perfect. The Buffalo Blue Shrimp and Clam Chowder was excellent. The chowder had nice big pieces of clams and was deliciously creamy. read more

Awesome food and great ambiance. Prices are fair and the service was excellent. Great spot for a date.

Cudos to our server, Greg at it again. Super service and his suggestion on the Bourisn bistro tenderloin was an excellent choice. We always order our go-to BLAST stack salad. 10/10!!! We really appreciate you! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner out on a whim and loved it! Always noticed it in bloomingdale, realized it's one of the few businesses that's been there for 10+ years so had to check it out. Ginger lime salmon bowl- underrated but so good! Even if you don't care for fish you'll like this. Tuscan chicken pasta- so creamy and delicious. Stuffed tortellini chicken pasta- love a good ravioli and protein combo, especially when the sauce sticks. Peach bourbon pork chop- interesting combo with the fruity flavors but it actually paired really well. Crème brûlée- so classic so creamy, and such a big portion but we killed it! The service is great. Some manager or owner came to our table towards the end and asked how everything was. The playing is spot on too. Recommend? Yes 100% Return? Also 100% but maybe during lunch time. Next time I'm definitely trying the bourbon bacon jam burger and chocolate bread pudding! read more

The steaks were cooked perfectly, the pretzel rolls were fresh and delicious, and everything else from the salad to the mockito was perfect. Cameron was an excellent server. We felt spoiled. read more

Stonewood Grill & Tavern - Delicious Limoncello Cake! You gotta try it! Wow! - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

Husband and I celebrated our anniversary at Stonewood recently. The bruschetta was a delicious start to our evening. We both opted for the stuffed salmon off the specials menu. So fresh and delicious. We both loved it. Friendly service and cozy ambiance. read more

My wife tells the server she's deathly allergic to shellfish. He nods like he understands mortality itself. Then (not even in a joking matter) asked if she wanted her steak smothered in crab. Then when the table stares at him like WHAT?? He goes "oh yeah!! Forgot!" What is this, a restaurant or a euthanasia clinic? Was he trying to save us the trouble of paying the bill by putting her in the ground? Honestly felt like a live-action Saw trap: "Choose: eat the steak and die, or go hungry forever." And for that privilege they tack on a mandatory 20% tip. Which is bold for a place that basically tried to commit seafood-assisted homicide. read more

Great meal, mother-in-law had grilled salmon, which she said was delicious. My wife had the cedar plank salmon with a shrimp & scollop screed and I had the 14oz delmonico steak with a baked potato. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I tried a carmel apple old fashion, that was very delicious. I'm not drinker, only on occasions and in highly suggest or recommended getting one. And desert was a chocolate bread pudding and oh my gosh it was fabulous. Our server was very friendly and personable but it took forever to get our food but that could possibly be on the kitchen. When we arrived we were the 3rd table and it didn't get a little busy until we got our dessert. Overall my experience today was a strong 7 but we were all pleased. To my knowledge this establishment only opens for dinner but check before you go. read more

A very relaxed service and the food seemed to arrive when it was ready not when you had finished your course. The caramelized French onion soup was nicely prepared and just salty enough to go well with the bread and onions. The guava bbq salmon was nicely sauced and paired well with the squash hash. You have the ability to switch that out but it does go well with the barbecue sauce on the salmon. A nice meal when dining alone. read more

Stonewood Grill & Tavern - Bruschetta Chicken Sandwich - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

First time customer and I liked the atmosphere. Arrived as a party of 4 on a Wednesday night with a reservation. The bar was full so we took our table early even though we wanted to have a drink before dinner. Our sever was friendly and took our drink order. While waiting for our drinks, she came back to see if we wanted an appetizer. I had checked in on Yelp and got a free bruschetta, so we ordered that. We waited and waited, and still no drinks, but our bruschetta arrived. How does that happen? The bruschetta looked appetizing, but the bread was cold and soggy. The toppings were great, and it would have been great had the bread been prepared correctly. Our drinks finally arrived. My lemon drop martini was not great. There was not enough simple syrup. The menu is varied, with lots of appetizers, salads, entrees and sandwiches. There was a special in season menu which had about 4-5 items listed. I settled on the salmon with the jalapeño apricot glaze, poblano rice and green beans. While waiting for our entrees, we ordered more drinks. Again, we waited and waited....this time 20 minutes. Ridiculous! Food arrived and it was hot, thank goodness. Salmon was cooked perfectly, rice was good and green beans were tasty. If not for the bad bar experience, this would have been a nice evening, We were there over 2 hours, which is exceptionally long. When our server brought the checks, she charged us for the bruschetta, which was supposed to be free, so we had to wait for that to be adjusted. read more

Atmosphere - OK. The restaurant is located on a busy road, the restaurant has a typical steakhouse feel. The furniture is dark as was the lighting. There is a fairly large bar on the right when you enter that dominates the atmosphere. Service - UGH! Our server was pleasant and reasonably attentive. However it took forever from order to delivery for absolutely everything! We order a cocktail and it took nearly 20 minutes before the drinks were brought to the table! It was a 2+ hour experience from the point when we ordered a cocktail until the check was presented! We shared a starter, I had a soup and an entree! Barely 3 courses! Food - Good, but nothing special. The starter (bruschetta) was just OK. Typically the bread is toasted with a bruschetta and this was not. The flavor of the toppings was good. I had a cup of New England Clam Chowder, which was served hot and was delicious. I ordered the Delmonico medium rare. . It was cut quite thin. It was tender but was on the dry side. The loaded baked was good. Overall Value - Below average. The prices are reasonable and the food average. The service (not the server, but the bar and kitchen) is horrible. read more

Awesome service at the bar. The maple old fashioned and smoked old fashioned were both delicious. The white peach sangria was bright and flavorful. Filet was perfect, creamed spinach was rich, and wedge salad was crisp and fresh. read more

This place has good food and drinks! The menu has variety and the prices are pretty good too!

UPDATE: I've always loved dining here. I haven't been in awhile but I will say that my recent dining experience was slightly less than stellar. Our server Cameron was great, but the food was not as amazing as my previous visits. Our entrees took a VERY long time. It was my husband's birthday dinner and we were in great company so we still enjoyed ourselves while we waited. After much laughter everyone began to look around and notice we weren't eating. There was no food on the table for nearly an hour. There was also a noticeable ceiling leak on one of the tables across from us that was left with no cleanup during our visit. Our server let us know that it was awaiting a revisit from the repairman from the hurricane 3 months ago. It was a special event for us and we would've rather had an opportunity to dine in a clean, dry environment. It was a bit of second hand embarrassment as we considered this place to be above the scale other local restaurants. Hopefully things will get better. read more

We were really disappointed. We hadn't been in a while and went for a "quality" time night together. UGH. The prime rib came out undercooked TWICE. When the server brought it out the first time, she said, "I don't know if you'll like this, but will you cut into it, it doesn't look cooked enough." Then WHY would you bring it? So...I waited nearly 10 minutes, meanwhile my relative has their food. The mashed potatoes were awful. No flavor and tasted hard, like days old. The green beans had zero flavor. As I had a could of bites of prime rib, it tasted good...cut into more - very red (undercooked!!). Seriously? The pasta and chicken dish my relative had...was "weird" as they described it. It tasted odd...and the sad bread they sent out with it looked like a car ran over it a few times...it tasted awful! There was nothing on it! Other tables were complaining...one woman got up and walked to the hostess stand saying, can I please pay our bill?! What the heck happened to this place? We wont be going back. Even though the prime rib was taken off, I'm still irritated I spent a lot of money for awful food. They could close up shop and have a pretzel bread truck...as that was the only think "edible" - oh and btw that was a few days old too... Terrible. We won't be going back. Too many other better options nearby. read more

Great environment, very clean and welcoming. The service was excellent, Greg was our waiter and he was awesome. He was extremely kind and efficient, one of the best servers I have ever encountered. The food was great. A wee bit pricey but delicious. I had the chopped steak which was excellent. We had the bananas foster cheesecake for dessert which was amazing. I would definitely recommend Stonewood. A+++!! read more

Love this place. Food is high quality and cocktails are strong. Alex is amazing and always goes out of his way to make sure everything is to your liking. Would have given a 5 star but the place is in need of some attention. The ceiling tiles inside are stained by roof leaks that go untreated. Carpet needs replaced. If headquarters reads this please know your guests are noticing and this reflects badly on your restaurant read more

I've wanted to visit this restaurant for a couple years but only recently decided to put intent into action. I made reservations for a 530pm seating on a Saturday before Christmas 2023. We arrived on time however there was a little bit of a wait. The hostess was not very friendly. We were not greeted in a friendly manner or seated in a booth as requested. I was informed that the booths were "reserved". I was not sure what that meant and she seemed to be in a haste and not willing to elaborate. This first encounter did not have me feeling welcomed or comfortable. However, our server Greg came with a friendly smile and had a wonderful demeanor about him. No complaints on service by him. Also, the manager was very friendly and made sure we enjoyed our food and experience. The bruschetta, the drinks, our meals were delicious! My son had a cheeseburger and I realized it needed a thicker cut of cheese or an added slice. It was not very cheesy at all. I didn't complain as my son was really into the pretzel breadstick. We all enjoyed them. I'm not sure if there is an option to have unsalted but if there is, I'd ask for that next time. There were areas where salt content was just too much. Definitely soft and fresh baked! I cannot rave enough about the bruschetta. It was soft and very flavorful! Maybe my favorite bruschetta ever! I ordered the scallops and shrimp dinner for $26. It was very flavorful, fresh in flavors, smoky and delicious. Very well seasoned. My mom had a mango barbecue salmon dinner at $27 that included some squash. Unfortunately the squash wasn't all cooked and so a substitution was given of spinach and mashed potatoes. We were grateful that that swap was made. We were so stuffed that we could not get into ordering dessert. But if I had to choose, it would have been the crème brûlée! Next time! The decor was okay in the front of the restaurant. I liked the wine room that they have. The bar/ reception area was nice too. I would recommend checking them out! read more

Food on New Year's Eve was below par. Disappointed from start to end. Yes they were busy however that should not have affected the quality of the kitchen. Reheated filet, small portions, plating looked like food was just thrown on the plate. 45 minute exit on a reserved table. Our server Autumn was the best experience. She was busy but handled everything with grace. We drove over an hour to this place and will not again. read more

My steak was amazing, the salad was nice & green. My sweet tea stayed full. I left full & happy

We had a birthday dinnerthe food is so amazing here. Also, we dwindled in over an hour waiting for our full party due to work schedules and our waiter, Simon was so patient with us including our two children who asked for more papers to draw on and pens...

I'm upgrading my previous two-star review of Stonewood experienced on a very busy Mother's Day to 3 stars. This birthday event was better handled and service had improved markedly. Still a bit of a "hit or miss". Servers may be troubled receiving the meals on time, or just not checking with the kitchen often enough to get the meals on the table. I can, however, sympathize when trying to get four different orders ready and served at the same time. Servers do seem a bit frantic. I didn't expect the 8 oz filet I ordered to be like one at Bern's in Tampa, but instead it looked like a puny 6 oz without much of a crust and very dry. Not really a medium rare filet. Quite a let down. I wish they could do a lot better here since it is a nice comfortable atmosphere. However, some cushioned seats have lost their oomph. And, some servers are still forgetful. read more

The restaurant was clean and inviting and the music was not too loud. I had the French dip sandwich which was excellent-fresh and hot and flavorful. The fries were seasoned perfectly.

Stonewood Grill & Tavern - Chef's special (with a twist): Panko crusted chicken with Shrimp and Scallops - New American Near Me - Brandon, Florida

I have been here a few times and they have been consistently good with their food and service. Starting with a warm greeting at the host stand and then our very pleasant server made our dinner experience great from start to finish. We ordered some drinks and our food, which didn't take long to arrive. I had beer and a burger while my wife had the Salmon (pictured). As far as ambience goes, the dining room is usually not loud, but a group came in about half way through our meal and sat across the walkway from us and I'll just say I know everything that was going on in their lives. We will eat here again. read more
