Been going to Stonewood for many years. Time to upgrade, many new restaurants in the area, Stonewood interior is old/dated. Food is consistent

Sadly not a shining moment. A rare and medium rare blue cheese bacon burger both came out well done. We rarely send food back but had to. The rare came out as expected, but somehow the medium rare materialized into a cheddar burger with no bacon. Adding insult to injury was the bill that had three burgers when only two were ordered. How hard is it to keep track of a burger order?
Stonewood Grill & Tavern - North SarasotaResponded on October 28, 2024
I’m sorry to hear about your recent experience. It sounds frustrating to have your order not come out as expected, especially with something as simple as burgers. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and I assure you that we take your feedback seriously. We strive for accuracy in every order, and it’s disappointing to hear we missed the mark. Your comments will be shared with our team to help improve our service moving forward. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the dining experience you deserve!

Always a good time at Stonewood too bad they don’t expand to South Florida. It’s consistent and their quality is always exceptional for a restaurant chain. If something isn’t right, they strive their best to fix it. I cannot say anything bad about the numbers of meals I’ve had at a Stonewood over the years.
