    We came here for our 10th Anniversary dinner. I made a reservation through the Resy app, so it was very easy to do. We were seated quickly. They have plenty of parking on site. The restaurant was very nice. I ordered a glass of wine. My husband got the Manhattan. Then the bread came out and the rolls are like a delicious cross between a donut and a roll with sweet butter. For dinner we both got side salads with our meals, which were big enough to be an entree so we could've shared one. We both got the lobster bisque, which was delicious and I highly recommend.i got the lamb chops for my entree. The staff was amazing. I was happy with my meal but the manager came out and said they were making an extra lamb chop because they felt the size of the ones that were made weren't big enough. I was shocked at the level of detail and customer service, in a good way. That has never happened to me. The portions were decent and we had leftovers to bring home. I would definitely recommend this place for a celebration. We had a great time. The food was good and our service staff were wonderful. Our server even brought us champagne to do a toast to our anniversary.

    Bistro Chicken with baked potato
    Sue F.

    Within the first few seconds of being seated, my arm stuck to the table. My side of the table had not been wiped of whatever the last patron spilled on it. My first impression did not bode well for the rest of my meal. We were greeted, our server introducing herself and completely ignoring the person who followed her around all evening (I'm assuming she was training). The named server went over what each menu contained and then recommended the egg rolls. We instead both ordered lobster bisque. The large bowl of bisque had a respectable amount of lobster but it had an odd aftertaste of "heat". Something that didn't have a specific flavor note nor anything melding it to the dish. It was just weird. I ordered the bistro chicken substituting a baked potato for the mashed. The chicken was served warm, not hot. This may be part of the reason for the panko breading being mushy. I scraped off what I could though I also lost the sauce. I gave my husband a large piece to try. He didn't eat but one bite. He said it was all mushy breading. My potato was hot but had been sitting too long as evidenced by the hard brown chunks of potato mixed with the rest. My husband had cedar plank salmon. The large piece of salmon was executed well - moist and flaky. It lacked in flavor - a lemon wedge probably would have gone a long way. He did have the mashed potatoes and was disappointed. Both of our meals were served with broccoli. We had to ask for bread - small, sweet rolls more dessert like than a bread accompaniment. While my husband had an old fashioned, I had a Sazerac. It was smooth though way too much absinthe in the last few sips - the bartender didn't take the time to properly swirl the absinthe. The serving sizes were large and we took plenty of food home, though I doubt neither the potatoes nor my chicken will be eaten. The unacknowledged server finally checked on us as we were finishing. I told her about the chicken. Our server with a name came by a few minutes later and offered to remake my meal, an offer I would have appreciated about 15 minutes earlier, not when I'm obviously finished (or obviously have given up). The restaurant was much less than half full yet was very loud - the music was so loud that the patrons had to speak up to be heard. Definitely took away from what could have been an intimate dinner. My husband and I always talk about my review after our meal. He said he was at 4.5 stars. Since I'm writing this review, I'm overriding his assessment and giving Stoney River a very generous 3 stars. I'm disappointed, I really expected a much better experience.

    Cedar plank salmon
    Mya R.

    I had a pretty good experience at stoney river ! The restaurant was clean and welcoming. My server was very kind and attentive. I had a spectacular espresso martini and the cedar plank salon. The salmon was very fishy and not my favorite, probably wouldnt worder again. My creamed spinach and mashed potatoes was delicious! Overall a decent experience. Would definitely to back for date night.

    Stoney River delivers solid flavor and quality, and the ambiance makes the experience even better. The atmosphere is classy, dimly lit, and upscale without feeling overly formal. It is a great spot for a date night or a special evening out. We started with the crab cake. It was definitely good, flavorful, and nicely prepared, but at 18 dollars for a single crab cake, it felt a little steep. The standout of the night was the Wild Mushroom Meatloaf. It was hearty, well seasoned, and something I would absolutely reorder. We paired it with asparagus and Parmesan fries. The asparagus was fresh and succulently seasoned, cooked just right. The Parmesan fries were crispy and flavorful and made a great complement to the meal. I ordered the London Dip, which had good flavor overall, especially paired with the roasted wild mushrooms. That combination worked well together. However, for the price point, I think next time I might try something else on the menu. It was good, just not quite as memorable as the meatloaf. We also tried the smoked gouda mac and cheese, which was rich and tasty and definitely a solid side option. Overall, Stoney River offers good quality dishes with strong flavors in a classy setting that makes it perfect for date night. A few items feel priced on the higher side, but I would return, especially for that meatloaf.

    Cedar Plank Salmon with mashed potatoes

    My wife and I were seated as soon as we arrived (on time with our reservation) on a Tuesday night. The booth we sat at was clean and comfortable with soft lighting. Our waitress, Ariel, was very attentive and made sure we had plenty of zero. We had drinks--wine and a Manhattan cocktail. The food was quite tasty and full of flavor. The bread that came to the table was very good. Almost sweet cornbread muffins but a different texture. I ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon with mashed potatoes and a substitute side of creamed spinach. She had grilled shrimp with creamed corn brûlée. Fabulous if you have a sweet tooth. Overall, we had a great time enjoying a special midweek dinner eating out on the town. We would highly recommend Stoney River if you want good food and a special treat.

    Good Food. Good vibes. Good services. I would definitely go back. The Philly egg rolls were by far my favorite. Yes they have tvs at the bar.

    French dip and fries
    Michael A.

    Went here for a birthday celebration (table for 4, not a party). We sat in the bar area and had a good time. The staff was personable and inviting. I had the French dip. Was it the best I've ever had, no, but it was good. My wife had the lobster roll, which she enjoyed. Would repeat if you're looking for a nice place for dinner.

    Ribeye w creamed spinach
    Matt C.

    Great service 3 out of 4 on food. The ribeye was slightly under seasoned but that may have been the blue cheese throwing me off. Clean and elegant ambiance.

    White chocolate creme brûlée - large portion size!
    Ashley E.

    There are two components to my review - the food and the service. We made reservations at Stoney River to celebrate and were looking forward to a nice meal and experience. The ambiance was the perfect blend of nice steakhouse with a fine dining feel, even though most patrons were dressed pretty casually. We were early to our reservation, so we grabbed a drink at the bar. I had a Martini that was delicious and my boyfriend had The Draper, which was right up his alley. Our bartender was friendly and quick to take our order. Our table was ready right on schedule, and we were seated in a booth right by the kitchen. Service: Unfortunately, I was not pleased with the service. It wasn't what I excepted at a restaurant of this caliber. I didn't want our food to arrive on top of each other, so we waited until our salad arrived to place the order for our entrees and glasses of wine. That was a mistake. We finished our drinks and our salad and then waited. And waited. And waited. Eventually our waiter came by to tell us it would be "just a second" and we requested waters. And then we waited. And waited. Eventually the water came, but still no food. I thought "well maybe he'll bring our wines, at least" but that was a no. Eventually, the food did arrive and then after that so did our wine. I know they're new, but I guess I would've just done things differently from a service point of view. And while there were other tables, it wasn't like they were super busy. Food: I had the swordfish, which was incredible. I would change nothing about that dish. It came with rice and the seasonal vegetable I chose was cauliflower. That had some heat to it, but was still delicious too. My boyfriend had the filet medallions and had ordered it medium rare. Two out of the three were overcooked, so that was unfortunate, but the flavoring of the steak was on point. We had wanted dessert with a glass of bubbly, but by time our wine came out for our entrees, we had a decent portion of wine left by time we were done eating. We settled for just the white chocolate creme brûlée, which was still a good pairing with our red wine. Overall, four stars. We will return, but are going to wait a bit and hope they figure the timing of things out.

    While visiting Athens Alabama, I was treated to lunch at this restaurant by my sister and brother in law. This was such a wonderful experience! The ambiance was lovely, service was great, food was outstanding! I absolutely recommend this awesome restaurant. And anytime I'm in Athens, I will be definitely look forward to patronizing them again.

    Fantastic experience. Loved the bread with cinnamon butter. The service was first rate. Very polite, helpful, and attentive. The menu is pretty expansive, even at lunch. The food was amazing with fantastic flavor and texture. I highly recommend the steak egg rolls. The atmosphere is pleasant and upscale. You really should check them out.

    Daddy/daughter week continued at Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill, and we were lucky enough to stumble in on Opening Night! We've been watching the build-out, eagerly anticipating their grand opening, and while I usually wait to leave reviews (to allow for growing pains), this place is the exception to the rule. From the moment we walked in, everything ran like a well-oiled machine. We were seated in under 5 minutes, and drinks were on the table within 30 seconds. While it's a little odd that water isn't automatically served, that's a minor detail. Our server was fantastic, and it's clear that the staff has been trained well--you'd never know it was opening night! Ambiance & Décor: Stoney River strikes an interesting balance between upscale sports bar, contemporary steakhouse, and a semi-formal dining experience. Whether you're dressed up for a special occasion or just grabbing a bite after work, you'll feel comfortable here. The bar seats around 40 and seems to be a focal point. In fact, I overheard the owner personally seating a few guests and introducing the bartender as "one of the best there is" and mentioning that he flew her in from Florida to get things started. That level of investment in service says a lot! Appetizer: Deviled Eggs - Phenomenal! A must-try. Bread Service: They serve a unique flat muffin-style bread that's both salty and sweet. Fresh, warm, and tasty. Caesar Salad: Perfectly balanced dressing--not too heavy, not too light, just enough to complement every bite. Lobster Bisque: Highly recommended! My daughter loved it. Entrées: Signature Steak & Biscuits: Delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly, and while the biscuits were tasty, they were plentiful--definitely a carb overload! Half of it went home for breakfast. Salmon: My daughter's dish was well-cooked and flavorful--she barely made it through half, so leftovers were a must. Bonus points: They box up your food for you at the table, a touch you typically see in higher-end restaurants. Drinks: Their drink glasses are on the smaller side (I'd estimate about 8 ounces after ice), but refills come quickly and consistently, so you never feel like you're waiting. Dessert: We ended the night with Crème Brûlée and French Press coffee--a perfect way to wrap up a fantastic meal. If you sit in a booth, bring a jacket. There's constant air blowing, and you might get chilly! Stoney River delivered an exceptional experience, especially for opening night. The service was A++, the food was well-executed and plentiful, and the ambiance strikes a great balance between casual and upscale. If you're debating between this spot and the steakhouse across the street, I'd say give Stoney River a shot--you won't be disappointed! 5 Stars! Can't wait to return.

    Is there an upcharge for Cliff farms?

    I would say yes, because the clift farm development few applies to nearly all businesses and is generally 3% for most businesses, 2% for Costco, with Publix being exempt.

    Is a reservation required?

    No, but it helps on busy nights or times.

    What are the times for Sunday brunch? Do they have a lunch menu?

    10:30-2, brunch selection ends at 2 pm

We'd never heard of it and having recently returned from the gulf I was feeling rather smug about seafood. What could this Chuck know about it all? Feeling adventurous, we decided to walk over and check it out after eating an entire pizza. Pizza was pretty good. Chuck's Fish was epic. I love that there's no TV at the bar. I love the decor. I love the fact that the namesake was a civil rights attorney. I love the fact that I can get incredible sashimi and order our daughter a pizza that is just as good as the joint across the street.

The decor in here is absolutely beautiful. Our server Stephanie was the sweetest ever. She gave us recommendations and helped us navigate choices on the menu. I opted for a glass of their rosé while he got their old fashioned, wasn't his favorite since they did not have Buffalo Trace. He's not a fan of Bulleit. However he was alright with it. We got the Cowboy sushi roll and snapper necks as appetizers. Both very flavorful and cooked well. Having Louisiana hot sauce was the icing on the cake for him. Entrees we got were both mainly red snapper, he got it Parmesan crusted and I went for bronzed because it came with mango salsa over rice pilaf. He had risotto. Both dishes were very good, however they definitely could have benefited from a bit more salt (in our opinion). Green beans were cooked extremely well. We both cleaned our plates! As for desserts I went for the bread pudding and he opted for the creme brûlée since he had never had any. Bread pudding was absolutely immaculate and I'm glad Steph talked me into adding ice cream. He wished he had gotten my dessert after trying it but his creme brûlée was still pretty decent. Not a big custard guy. Overall this was a great experience and to help others gauge their bill, we spend a little under $200 before the tip. Not extremely cheap but not overly expensive. We just like trying it all - drinks, apps, entrees and desserts. Would love to come back soon!

There is limited seating space, so plan to take it to go or have it delivered with either grub hub or door dash. Hush puppies are smaller than what I would expect, but you get 4 as a small. Medium is 8, and large is 16. Upgrade to at least an 8, because they will be gone too quickly and you will wish you had more. Flavor is good, a little on the salty side but that is a plus for people who love salt. Tartar sauce tastes freshly made, but has a hint of spicy sweet pickles (not dill, unless it is a mix of both). One odd mix is it comes with a slice of white loaf bread (not homemade nor is it toasted with butter, which is almost what I would expect with a fish plate). It was separated from the baked beans with parchment paper, so the bread did not get messy nor moist - but I would like to see this elevated to something else. The baked beans are basic baked beans. Not much flavor, so if you like blandish beans they are ok. I will skip the baked beans next time and try a different side item. The catfish is the main feature in this dish. It is fried with a seasoned batter, this is probably where the salt comes from in the hush puppies. The fish goes well with the tartar sauce, but I ran out of that with the first fillet (so get at least two tarter sauces). There are portions of the fish with more seasoned fried batter than fish. One plus side for those with kids is I did not run across any bones. I think next time I will try their bbq baked potato, double down on the jalapeño hush puppies and order before they cook too many catfish fillets. I think 4/5 is a fair rating. It is not "catfish cabin" from my childhood, but nothing ever is. It did satisfy a catfish craving, and for those who want catfish - it is at least is a decent option.

I ordered the chicken with spinach cream sauce pizza, accompanied by a medley of vegetables, including broccoli, mushrooms, and sweet red peppers. It was absolutely delicious! I had the pleasure of sitting at the bar, where the bartenders, Christian and Elijah, provided attentive and exceptional service. They truly made my dining experience memorable. Chop House has only been open for two weeks, but they are already impressing with their food and service. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious meals.

    Definitely a hidden gem!…read more My husband was out of town last week and so I decided I'd go somewhere I'd wanted to try that was out of the way to treat myself and help pass the time without him. I reviewed my bookmarks and settled on Barrio! This restaurant is located near the ever-popular Valentina's pizza -- I believe it shares a building with the first location of the pizza place before they moved a little up the road. Otherwise, it's sort of "out there" -- though I'd argue it's very much worth a special trip. The parking lot is a little small but it's also a fairly intimate restaurant so you won't be fighting insane crowds anyway. It felt clean and modern inside and the restaurant boasts a nice long bar. I was offered my choice of seat; I took a booth since they weren't super busy (it was a Tuesday evening). My server was Cameron. He was very sweet and worked hard at being attentive and helpful. My food came out promptly with each order and was prepared as I'd requested. No complaints there! The menu here is more authentic and more upscale than many Texmex options in the area. This makes me happy because I prefer Mexican cuisine served this way. I felt a little bad for the servers, though, as they had to field several questions from parties about matters of cheese dip, what mole is, etc. They cheerfully and patiently provided great education, but I hope in writing this I can save them some trouble in the future, lol. You should absolutely give Barrio a try, but Little Rosie's it is not (nor should it be)! Anyway, rant over...Cameron brought out some chips and both salsa rojo and verde. This was maybe the only thing I didn't particularly care for all night. Neither salsa had a ton of flavor or heat to my palate, and the chips were fried a little heavily/dark for me. I was concerned after this but I shouldn't have been because my entree and dessert were both delightful. I ordered the enchiladas suizas, which comes with rice and beans. The rice was fluffy and light. The beans were a beautiful dark black color and subtly smoky, nice and smooth but not too much so. And my enchiladas... Okay, a thing about me is that I always think I'll love enchiladas (who doesn't love a soft and creamy, cheesy, warm meal?) but EVERY TIME I order them they disappoint me. I've FINALLY found a place where they were all I'd hoped they'd be. The chicken inside was tender and succulent but not mushy; the tomatillo sauce was bright and flavorful; the cheese added the perfect amount of gooeyness...really, really good. Thoroughly redeemed, I also placed an order for churros. I requested they be packaged to go as I was sure I wouldn't eat them all in one sitting. Cameron obliged and brought out the dessert in two separate containers (one for churros, one for ice cream). I appreciated his thoughtfulness, though I wound up eating the ice cream and some churros there because I didn't want it to melt. The ice cream was delectable -- honestly, it tasted like homemade vanilla to me but whatever they use, it's awesome -- and the warm, cinnamon-covered and caramelly churros were the perfect companion. I ate three there and took three home for later. So good! This restaurant has many offerings I've rarely seen throughout Huntsville (read: especially chicken mole -- hard to find!). They seem to really care about the food and execute it on a high level. Please give them a try when you get a chance. I'll definitely return in the future.

    Barrio is easily the best restaurant in the area. We started with the calamari and queso fundido…read moreand both were absolutely incredible. The cocktails were amazing too. I had the mango habanero margarita and it was so delicious with just the right amount of heat. For the main course we had the tacos and enchiladas and I already want to go back to try more. Please get the shrimp tacos. They also serve complimentary chips and salsa which were fresh and full of flavor. Our waiter Eldwin was super friendly and attentive and the executive chef was just as welcoming. Everything about the experience was outstanding. Highly recommended.
