Quiet, comfortable spot with genuinely nice service, I basically had Stone City Grill to myself, which made for a peaceful solo dinner (perfect if you want to eat fries without judgment). The staff was friendly and attentive without hovering, exactly the kind of service that lets you enjoy your food and your thoughts. The fries deserve a paragraph of their own: golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. If fries were a personality, these would be the life of the party. Order them and don't share (or do share, I won't tell). The burger, unfortunately, was the more muted cousin at that party. It wasn't bad, cooked fine and presented nicely, but it was a bit bland and could use bolder seasoning or a punchier sauce. Nothing a little extra salt, a house sauce, or asking for an off-menu tweak couldn't fix. If you go, consider asking for extra seasoning or trying one of the other handhelds on the menu. Atmosphere is upscale-casual and relaxed, great for a solo meal, a date, or a calm pre-show dinner. Prices felt reasonable for the setting and portions. Bottom line: come for the service and fries, stay hopeful about the burger (it has potential). I'll be back, mainly for the fries and the friendly staff. read more

See all

I had to tell you how my experience was after being encouraged by everyone who hears what happened at the brunch. My son, made reservations for 4 for 11:15. When seated next to the hostess stand, the music was so loud, i honestly could not hear anyone speak at my table. I asked multiple times to be turned down. I suppose the staff could not hear me. The mimosas were so warm, and if any alcohol in them, I would be stunned. I asked for a refill on mimosas for my son and I. The waitress set about 5 dirty dishes next to my left arm she had just cleared from another guests table. She went and got my son a mimosa but not me. She waited on other tables before finally returning to pick up the dirty dishes she laid beside me on our table from another guests table. I was asked if I wanted a refill on coffee, which was nearly completely empty and said yes, I am so thirsty, waiting for a mimosa, she topped off my husbands coffee which was nearly full but never gave me a drop. By this time, so many other things had gone wrong, my son and I were just laughing about the continued comedy of errors. My sons fiancé got called into surgery and arrived late and a drink was spilled making room for her when stacking all the dirty dishes. We all handed him our napkins to clean up the spill but not enough. My husband, went to ask someone but was given a white towel and told he could clean up the mess. And, my son paid $300 with a tip for this service and I'm far from done. I will never ask him to take me anywhere again after this. $300 is ridiculous for the service we were given. I have not even told you how horrible the food was. I can't say anything good about anything we tried. The salmon was so fishy, the chicken was like rubber, the turkey was so dry it was inedible, the sirloin was so tough my dogs canines I don't think could have chewed it. The mashed potatoes tasted like a boiled potato mashed with no butter no milk no nothing. I could continue but, I'm sure this is absolutely a waste of my time. And, the desserts, you advertised chocolate covered strawberries, pastries, etc and I seen them when I arrived but when we went back for dessert, it was gone. A couple of brownies, pecan pie. It was never replenished. Mother's Day is supposed to be a good day for moms. I felt horrible. Asking my son to bring me to this brunch that cost him $300 and it was such a bad experience. I'm sure it will be my last. I still feel Bad about it. I truly think you should go out of the brunch buffet business. It was just that bad. read more

When we sat down we were presented with a slimmed down version of the menu we had seen online. There was barely a third of the menu items present. Then we enjoyed the lack of ambiance while we watched others that had arrived after us being served. I had to ask the attendant for service before anyone paid us any attention. We ordered the Fritto Misto which was a huge disappointment since it only had 3 shrimp and a ton of bell peppers and deep fried calamari. The wife's burger was burnt, even though she had never been asked how she wanted it cooked. And the wagyu burger was tasteless and dull. The fries were also cold and flavorless. Steer clear of this place if you have any respect at all for your taste buds read more

The place was not very busy. They were out of several items. The service was slow and the food was not worth the price. Very disappoint when associated with a very nice hotel. On their own, the staff was nice enough to bring us a piece of cheesecake, on the house. Unfortunately the gesture was ruined when the cheesecake was frozen. read more

I an truly surprised that there are no reviews. We had the truffle fries as an appetizer, they were to die for. We shared the scallops and crab cakes and added a side salad. The crab cakes were small, but very tasty. The bacon wrapped scallops were cooked perfectly and were delicious. Our salad was fresh and not out of bag of chopped lettuce. Our server was great. The only reason I am giving them 4 out of 5 stars, is the fact that the water had a twang that I did not care for... read more

I came to this restaurant with my mother for dinner, and we unfortunately had an underwhelming experience. Aesthetically beautiful, the hotel presents an inviting atmosphere. This Doubletree is lovely without doubt. However, I can't say the same about the food at its Stone City Grill. We started off on the wrong foot because we split an order of bacon wrapped scallops. The bacon was burned to a crisp on the ends and the middle portion was completely uncooked fat. Worse, the scallops themselves were cold on the inside! This was a shocking and unpleasant experience, and it should never happen in any restaurant. Next came the Indiana Corn Salad; this array of mixed greens and assorted vegetables was overwhelming in its quantity, perhaps typical of Midwest cuisine preferences. In fact, it was so tall and wide, that it completely enveloped the plate. This made for a very poor presentation and simply too much food that was difficult to manage. The accompanying dressing came on the side by request, and it was barely enough to cover 10% of the salad. The corn, an Indiana staple of pride, was not even separated into kernels. In other words, it was a grid of corn kernels, shaved from the cob, that had simply been tossed on the plate. The sheer amount of spinach and lettuce was so disproportionate to the rest of the ingredients that it was overwhelming. The entire look of this salad was one of thoughtless and hurried process, making for an overall meal of poor quality. I had my remaining 10 pounds of roughage put into a to-go box, but it only made it as far as the bin outside of the lobby. On a positive note, our server was extremely friendly, and she kindly offered to take the appetizer off the bill, as one would at least expect. I am beginning to understand the Indiana playbook for restaurant dining: real friendly folks who serve lots of mediocre food. Bummer. read more
