This is my #1 go-to restaurant on Staten Island. I eat here almost every week when I'm in town…read more I love the laid-back tavern feel, the incredible food, and the amazing staff that always make me feel like I'm home. Some of the highlights include the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, potato pancakes, spicy London broil burrito wrap with homemade potato chips, orange chicken, fish & chips, ribeye with brandy sauce, stuffed pork chops, and even something as simple as a grilled cheese with bacon & tomato. They also make a mean cocktail! They are moving to a larger location on Forest Avenue next week and I wish them all the best!

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.

For the amount of money you pay to host an event here, I expected a much higher level of organization and service. There was essentially no one overseeing our party. The venue only had one golf cart available to transport items from the parking lot to the venue, despite having two other events happening at the same time. Site staff were nowhere to be found when we needed assistance, which made the entire experience unnecessarily stressful. The bartender was also frequently leaving the room and sitting outside on his phone, rather than being attentive to the guests. This is especially frustrating when you're paying a premium price to host an event and expect the staff to be present and engaged. They also charge a $1,500 room fee for the patio, which is an outrageous additional cost considering how little staff attention and support we received. It's honestly a shame because the ambiance is beautiful and the food is decent. The venue has a lot of potential, but the service and management need significant improvement. For the prices they charge, the level of staffing, organization, and attentiveness should be much higher. Management needs to do better.

I was so happy hahah. It's been a long time since I enjoyed a restaurant for more than just their food. We came here for my boyfriend's parent's anniversary and the server's were wonderful and honestly very thoughtful as well! They were very attentive to our table and refilled our waters often. I also say this because when my bf's parents ordered the halibut to split, they had brought out their meal in two individual plates that were beautifully plated, you would think they ordered separately! They also took our group picture! :) We ordered 2 orders of the Basement Snacks: For Two, 2 orders of their raw oysters for appetizers. For my entree I ordered the Shrimp Carbonara Rossa with a side of Asparagus. Everything was so good. Their buffalo wings were perfectly marinated and not too saucy, their ribs were so tender and the meat fell straight off the bone! My carbonara was also delicious. For dessert they even gave an anniversary treat which was so sweet. I ordered a Chocolate Cappuccino which was also great. 11/10! Wonderful and would recommend.

I want to start this review by stating that the food was wonderful, the ambience and decor was…read moreoutstanding and we just loved the overall vibe. Our waiter, Guiseppe was very attentive! We had a lovely night out with a couple who are our long time and good friends and we looked forward to this evening! However, there was a problem at the beginning of the evening that is unacceptable... my husband went to park the car, our friends were waiting at the bar for us, I walked in first. My friend ordered me an Aperol Spritz and my husband a diet coke. My husband does not drink and has been very successful with his sobriety for many years. The bartender, (I later found out her name is Maureen and apparently she is a manager there), misunderstood the drink order so my friend reiterated that we wanted a diet coke and an Aperol Spritz (two separate drinks). The "diet coke" arrived in a soda glass with a lemon wedge (just like a diet coke would) and the Aperol Spritz arrived in a cocktail glass. My husband took a sip of the "diet coke" and asked me if it tasted like there was liquor in it. Sure enough there was. We immediately returned it and the other bartender confirmed that it was a mix of Aperol Spritz with diet coke in the soda glass. My husband confronted the bartender and told her about her grievous mistaken and full disclosure, he said this is a "big f$%ken mistake you made". She took absolutely no responsibility for her error and shouted at him that she "was told to make a diet coke with Aperol Spritz". Truth be told, we clarified the drink order to her and why would she present the "diet coke" in a soda glass if it indeed was a cocktail. She went full "Karen mode" on him when she should have apologized. My request is that she re-trains in customer service and her ability to mix drinks! Like I said above, the food was excellent, the waiter was great, but this error is a serious error. People do make mistakes, but please acknowledge your mistakes and take care with serious issues. The dining experience was great, but I cannot give a 5 star due to the error.

The brunch food was delicious, especially the steak and egg sandwich; the bread they used were so fluffy and it paired perfectly with chipotle mayo, which was recommended by Chris. The eggs Benedict were also cooked perfectly runny and each brunch plate came with some fruits and a drink of your choice. Overall everything was fresh and even the fruit selections were sweet. Highly recommend for those who want a simple yet delicious brunch! Will definitely be back to try their regular menu! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

I have been wanting to come here ever since it was recommended to us. The parking is horrendous…read more There is a gravel parking lot in front with only about 10 spaces and then a road in front of that where most of it you can't park because it's peoples houses and they have signs and cones up to not park there. We spend a half hour trying to park in two spots that were too small. I recommend getting there before 5:30 or after 8 to avoid a parking nightmare. We made a reservation for 2 at 7. Recommend making a reservation. Service is slow and didn't really talk to us, the waiter was very quiet but nice. Bread and water was brought out quickly. The standout was the stuffed mushrooms. 5 stuffed mushrooms and they were not soggy at all. The sauce was light and delicate. The stuffing was like fluffy bread stuffing on thanksgiving. It had vegetables in it. Never had a stuffed mushroom this good. I got the pappardelle with veal and it was delicious. Huge portion had to take half of it home. I was expecting ground veal but no this was chunks! They were very tender and delicious. The sauce was standout. It was buttery and light at the same time, perfect red sauce. My husband got an eggplant pasta dish. It was a bit too spicy for me but he liked it. Prices are reasonable was around 75 plus tip for us. The inside is nice and cozy and airy. Really cool this place has been open for more than 100 years!

We ordered the Forest Ave roast beef sandwich and the fried shrimp appetizer with bang bang sauce. The shrimp had a nice crunch, and the bang bang sauce was good, but its flavor was a bit mild and plain; some garnish like chives can definitely elevate this appetizer further! Our sandwich unfortunately came without the bacon jam and maple bourbon, which meant it was just roast beef double dunked with Gruyère cheese. Unfortunately we didn't realize it until near the end, and although our waitress apologized and brought us a side of the bacon jam, by then we only had a quarter of it left which was a bummer. The roast beef was perfectly cooked and the gravy was rich and deliciously beefy, but the extra Au jus was a bit pricy for how little it was, where it came in the same small plastic sauce container instead of a small bowl/ceramic. I'm sure this doesn't happen often that half the sandwich ingredients were left out, so I guess we were just unlucky we didn't realize sooner, but it nonetheless detracted from our experience and we were charged the full price for the meal. Overall The Point Tavern has a lot of potential of being amazing and serve probably the best roast beef in all of Staten Island; I really wish them the best with their varied roast beef selections! Please give them a try and just check your sandwich before digging into it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

What's the secret at the Point Tavern in Staten Island? They keep things simple! This review is based on my visit this past Saturday Evening - 21 June 2025. Bartender Mike is a true Mensch, if that's even possible, in a place like Staten Island, but he was truly a gem and kept the drinks flowing. This is truly a neighborhood watering hole that is frequented by many, including some friendly and beautiful teachers from the local school across the way. You are struck with an immediate vibe of friendliness and happiness, and visitors to the Point Tavern are truly treated like family. My great friend, "Uncle Anthony," and I enjoyed ourselves sitting and relaxing at the bar. There was a wide selection of draft beers on tap, and the mixed drinks were delicious. Confession: I made the "Shlep" to investigate this "Suspicious" Roast Beef Sandwich. My suspicions were confirmed--amazing, Juicy, Tender, and savory. Sandwiches are made to order and tailored to the customer's likely preferences. The kitchen got it right on the first shot and got me my "Kosher" Roast Beef Sandwich. Trust me, its worth the visit. A+
