    Carrot Cake - Fabulous
    Sophia B.

    Found this restaurant while visiting my Aunt. The great: The complimentary bread The side Salad $14 The roasted Cauliflower and asparagus included with my meal The Carrot Cake $16 Average: The Steak Medallions - they were a little chewy but cooked properly. Just expected more tender beef for the price. Augratin potatoes had a spice in it that was a little overpowering. The crab cake had a little fishy flavor. Our waitress Holly did a fantastic job taking care of us. The restaurant was clean and upscale. We would go back for tall the pros and try other items on the menu. They need to add the cauliflower to the everyday menu!

    The first and only time I've been here was 3.5 years ago, so it's clear some things have changed. I came in a little closer to 5 and was able to snag a booth. My server was prompt and gave me water right away. I decided to try one of their featured cocktails "oh cherry" and got the steak frites with fries and a salad. After I ordered she brought out their famous rolls. They were just as soft and tasty as I remembered! After a short while she brought out my drink and salad. Unfortunately, both fell flat. The drink was a collection of juices with some vodka and while it seemed like a good idea at the time, it was anything but. The salad was just an average Caesar but the croutons were quite scrumptious! My streak frites came next and here's where they missed the mark. Mind you, I understand I asked for my fries well done, but I was surprised they couldn't have timed it better so at least my steak would be hot, too. It wasn't. It was lukewarm. It wasn't worth sending back, so I ate it. Overall, I'd say the highlight of my meal were the fries (spectacular, btw) and the complimentary biscuits. If the steak were hot, everything would have been perfect. Maybe they had an off night? Who knows. But I do know I like my steak hot. Better luck next time...

    This is a regular spot that hubby and I return to every year. We come for our anniversary and valentines day because usually the food and service is top notch. This year on valentines day, the experience wasn't the best. I always make reservations online with no issues. This time, me requesting a booth didn't seem to transfer over. They sat us at a made up table (outside picnic table with a table cloth) which we were a bit upset but it was by the fire so we accepted it. Plus no other tables were available because they were packed. There was another couple behind us sitting at the same made up table. To me, the spacing was awkward and I understand the resturant wanted to do whatever to accommodate guest to dine in this busy day. Our server was really nice and attentive. I forgot his name but he did a great job. The food was seasoned very well. Although my first steak was cooked rare vs medium-rare as requested, he immediately worked to resolve it. The second steak was cooked to perfection and so good. I wish it was cooked this way the first time because I had to wait longer to eat with my husband. The dinner rolls are usually the best. Sweet, light and fluffy with sweet butter. This night, they seemed a tad undercooked. There was a small area that had a slightly different color than the rest which indicates being undercooked. I didn't like that my potato wasn't soft. Lots of firm pieces inside. The crab cakes was absolutely delicious. Overall, I'm disappointed based on my previous experiences as this is typically a really nice dining.

    Cousin brunch! Parking lot ample. Walking in building was dark and sultry . I loved it. Made it for my 1 pm reservation and was not crowded at all. Bar area nice size. Plenty of seating. Adele M . was our server, very attentive and helpful. My only complaint was not to long after we received our food we were repeatedly asked if we were ready for boxes to go , this was a bit nerve wrecking in my opinion. We settled on a Peach Bellini carafe . Shrimp and Grits , Red Velvet Waffle and chicken and Bacon , biscuits as well. This meal was just ok. Menu choices were limited and not a buffet as I originally thought and drink selection I was a bit disappointed with the flavors and choices . The ambiance of the restaurant does not match the selection of menu and variety in my opinion. Overall I'll give this experience an 5/10.

    I hate having to leave this review but I've thought about it all night. For the cost, it deserves to be told. First, pros: We were there to celebrate a wedding anniversary and the staff left us a nice card, provided on the house prosecco for toasting and (my favorite part of the night) a gloriously decadent chocolate cake with a sweet candle. The waitress was amazing, sweet and attentive without being overbearing. We loved her. The cons: First, the bread rolls. This was our first time here and didn't know what to expect. My roll was RAW. At first I was confused, like is it supposed to be this way? My husband had one, it was ok. He bit into a second one however and said "this isn't fully cooked!" We compared it to mine and while mine was the most raw of the three his was also definitely not done. But, we decided, we aren't here for the rolls, we just want to celebrate. We let it go. We each ordered medium rare steaks. They both came out rare. I personally am fine with it and mine was actually bit more cooked than his so I kept it but his? Was so raw it was glowing blue. We sent it back, and when they came back he deemed it "fine," still not actually medium rare but at this point my food was cold. The sides were fine. The hyped steak rolls were good, but not amazing. Ambiance-wise I'd say it was just ok. We were in a weird small room off the the side where the overhead lights clashed with the smaller table ones. The vibe was just off. All in all, we won't be back. An almost $200 meal and so much of it was raw. Nope.

    When I made my reservation, I wasn't aware the restaurant is a part of the Drury hotel, although it does have it's own entrance from outside of the hotel proper. Coming in on Chesterfield Center, you are driving past the back of the hotel buildings and there are no signs at the back indicating which buildings are which. If you drive past both buildings the road curves around and you can then see the Stoney River sign. Service here was excellent, as was the food. The complimentary rolls with whipped cinnamon butter are luscious! I had the steak egg rolls and the medallions with a crab cake. Real mashed potatoes, yum! A more upscale venue with prices to match, but you do get what you pay for!

    We enjoyed a great date night here. The food and service was superb. I started with the lobster bisque- there was a good amount of lobster in the creamy silky bisque. My husband order a salad- he is not a salad person typically- but he inhaled it! We both got a little surf and turf- I got the lump crab on top and he opted for the crab cake- both we equally delicious. The baked potato was great- why do baked potatoes taste better at restaurants than at home?? My husband opted for their scalloped potatoes and was in food heaven!

    Had another amazing experience at Stoney River Steakhouse and Grill! I first came last year for a business dinner and loved the food, so I brought my husband back to celebrate our 10-year anniversary. I'm so happy to say they're still consistent and just as delicious. The food was outstanding--especially my steak. I ordered it medium, and they cooked it perfectly exactly how I asked. Even the complimentary bread was absolutely delicious! The highlight of our night was our server, Tate. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcomed. He checked on us at the perfect times, gave great recommendations, and truly helped make our anniversary dinner extra special. My husband loved everything, and we'll definitely be back!

    NY Strip and a Lobster Tail...
    Cosmo W.

    While I am not a fan of hotel restaurants or restaurants in hotels, I will make an exception for this one as it was so good! I attended a company dinner here, so the bill was picked up, which always seems to make food taste better, but I must say, I was impressed with everything here. While it seems a bit fancy, there is no real dress code, however, the night I went, the customers were all dressed nicely, including our group. We were seated in the private dining room. I ordered a Dirty Martini, and I must say, it was one of the finest martinis I have ever had. Something one never forgets! We looked over the menu, and I ordered a Wedge Salad and a NY Strip with a Lobster Tail on the side. Our glorious leader, who is a wine connoisseur, ordered wine, and we were very impressed with the wine cellar here- some incredible wines at some great prices! My Wedge Salad was perfect, and my steak- excellent- and the lobster was tender and tasty- a nice surprise as they are awalys frozen and cooked until they're rubber. This one was excellent. Service was fantastic, very attentive without being ovebearing. I would love to come here with my wife, as it seems romantic as well!

    Coffee Filet with Mashed Potatoes
    Shawn V.

    Don't mistake the Stoney with the stigma of a restaurant being attached to a hotel as this is a super nice place to eat! We were impressed with everything. The service was amazing as they take excellent care of you. The food was spectacular and the star of the show. Their bread mini rolls were some of the best rolls we have ever had. Warm, and almost tasted like a dessert they were soooo good. Plus, their coffee rubbed filets were showstoppers too. My wife got their chicken and said that it was quite possibly one of the best chicken dishes she has ever had. One small deal was that, I was not a huge fan of their mashed potatoes but after all that goodness, who minds as they were not horrible.

    Is Stoney River still open Sunday for brunch?

    Yes it is open Sundays

    R they fast on ordering?

    I would say they are the speed they need to be for the price range. If you mean fast like 10 mins no.

We had the smoked seafood appetizer- wow !!! Loved it. For my meal I got one of their seafood specials: grouper served with green beans and mashed potatoes. Fabulous! My husband loved his meatloaf. Personally I would prefer a PBJ sandwich over meatloaf but hey, his meal. I hadn't noticed previously that they have 2 bars. They are back to back. One can sit at bar for dining too. A benefit of sitting at a table is the ability to talk freely because tables are well spaced with substantial dividers between them.

Although there's no strict dress-code enforced, most people dining here will be a bit dressed up depending on the occasion they're celebrating. You'll be just fine in nice jeans here too. We frequent for date night and don't veer far from the Chicken Gnocchi appetizer, Spinach Salad, Chicken Penne, Shrimp Risotto, and Filet. Their Scallops dish is good here too that comes with Saffron Orzo. They will bring out delicious bread and Baba Ghanoush at the beginning of your meal. I could make a meal just out of the Baba Ghanoush it is addicting! The Chicken Gnocchi is an appetizer but could easily be an entrée. The chocolate soufflé dessert takes about 30 minutes so be sure to tell your server ahead of time if you have something sweet in mind. The Buttercake dessert is good as well but super rich. We went for dinner last night and could tell something was off with both the Front-of-House and Kitchen. Lights on higher than normal, staff members appeared a bit frantic including the host, and the food did not visually look how it normally comes out nor did it taste exactly right.

My dining companions ordered pizza and pasta dishes. Everyone was very happy with their meal. I concluded my meal with a phyllo wrapped brownie that came with chocolate sauce, fresh raspberries, and cream. It basically looks like a brownie burrito. It's quite decadent and I enjoyed it. My dining companions ordered an after-dinner, espresso drink, and another friend ordered the bread pudding, both with happy outcomes. I'm looking forward to coming back to try brunch.

Our server was very pleasant, the only thing that surprised me was the time in between courses seemed a bit longer than expected, but that gave my friends and I a chance to catch up. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and I will be back!!

    ive been here a number of times now, and have a pretty favorable opinion of this place. they have…read moreboth lunch and dinner hours, and close in between so you might want to keep that in mind. they also have different menus for lunch and dinner, though i believe you can still get most things regardless of the time... you'll just be paying different prices in short, pretty much everything here is good. the food is actually not that spicy and has a range of options for anyone would is in general a fan of indian food. I personally really like the lunch sets, which i think are a good deal and taste pretty good. i also think they do bread really well here, so keep that in mind if you order some dishes with curry the only thing i would advise these guys is to serve the salad for the lunch set on the side. there is way too much water in the greens, and it tends to make the rice and the curry watery. on the other hand of things, the heat from the curry and the rice sort of 'cook' the greens, which really changes the taste of the greens themselves (worse). serving it on the side would solve both problems

The lime soda was $6, which is pretty expensive and I didn't like the flavor very much. The korma paneer was good but a little sweet for my taste. I would like to try this place again and order some different items.

Already, there are signs that things have taken a turn for the worse. They're playing music via an ad-supported Spotify account, complete with Rocket Mortgage ads, and the tables are covered with ads for vinyl siding companies that probably prey on the elderly. The latter is an especially sensitive issue for me as I get on in years. Just because I look dumb doesn't mean that I can easily be taken advantage of. No but really, as many times as I've been here, I don't know that I've had anything other than the (pejorative-sounding) Rajun Cajun, the Seaside Combo and the Fish Tacos. I used to get the Rajun Cajun, but I gradually shifted to the Seaside Combo, which seems oddly generous, given that it comes with six shrimp. It's not exactly inexpensive, but it doesn't seem so unreasonable, at a time when you have to sign up for Klarna just to eat at McDonald's. The shrimp they use are surprisingly decent quality. They're probably not quite jumbo, otherwise they'd describe them as such on the menu (why waste the opportunity?), but they're not far off. The cod planks, on the other hand, are a tad skimpy, somewhere in between the fish stick you'd get at a good elementary school and the ones they serve at Long John Silver's. You get two with the Seaside Combo, and with an order of Fish & Chips. I wonder if they have separate, larger planks that they use for the Fish & Chips. The list of sides is longer than you might think. Some of them carry an upcharge, and it's not always clear why that's the case. Spinach, for example, costs extra, as does corn on the cob. Who'd pay extra just to eat spinach, Popeye? I've only ever gone with the fries and coleslaw, neither of which is regarded as premium, though I'd argue that they're the two best things you can get with fried fish and shrimp. It's hard to mess up food that you're just tossing into a deep fryer, but credit where credit is due: my fish, shrimp and fries were amazing (as was the coleslaw). They were generously battered (by hand, supposedly) and cooked until perfectly crisp. They must be making use of the timers on those deep fryers. They may have purposely cranked the volume on the ad-supported Spotify so we wouldn't hear them going off. If they did, that was smart of them. Pro Tip: Sprinkle Slap Yo Mama on everything, including the coleslaw. Don't sweat the sodium content. The world is obviously coming to an end sooner rather than later anyway. But don't bother with the signature spicy-and-sweet hot sauce, which is gross. I appreciated the way the fish and shrimp were artfully arranged on the plate. But they buried the lemon wedge, and I didn't notice until I'd already eaten one of the shrimp. So that was definitely a missed opportunity. I'd suggest that they invest in slightly larger plates, but I shudder to think what they might have to do to finance that.
