    Attended happy hour here and it was a great experience. We had a choice of inside or outdoor patio as well as tables vs. booth. I appreciated that comfortably was offered. The happy hour deals were great. The menu is relatively extensive with something for everyone. It's a casual spot with a cute outdoor area. Our group enjoyed our food and beverages. I would definitely return.

    **this review is solely for take out!** My coworker and I ordered takeout for pickup today and the food was so good that I had to write a review! We weren't super hungry but we were craving a chicken Caesar wrap, so we decided to order and split a blackened chicken wrap which came with fries, and corn riblets. I had no problems with pickup and the hostess was super nice. Ordering on the website was a little glitchy but it worked out. The blackened chicken wrap was delicious- well-seasoned, perfectly cooked chicken, just enough sauce, had a good kick without being too spicy, and the tortilla had a great char. The fries looked like basic fries but they were also very good. Lastly the corn riblets - super tasty, lightly seasoned and the chipotle sauce that came with it was really good too. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back here again one day!! Maybe for Wednesday night karaoke :)

    PROS: The atmosphere was great! Rustic inside, nice patio and gravel area outside with couches and games. Food was priced well, menu variety was plentiful, staff was friendly. Loads of parking too CONS: Slow service, patio furniture was uncomfortable, I ordered a lamb burger with cheese and they gave me feta cheese instead of the typical American cheese. Then when I sent it back and they came out with American cheese it wasn't even melted OVERALL: I would come back here, but I have to be very literal with what I want and I need to be mentally prepared to wait a while for the food to come out

    Great atmosphere. Fast service, comfortable seating. Drinks were great. I had "honey Im home". Food options were the appetizers

    Mussels in white sauce

    I met up with a friend for dinner and drinks on a Friday evening. To start we had the shrimp cocktail and the mussels in white sauce. The shrimp was fine but the cocktail sauce was subpar (I also would've loved a little horseradish with the sauce). The mussels in white sauce were excellent. The flavor was there and the mussels were cooked properly. For dinner my friend had the penne vodka (it was ok; average at best). I ordered the crab cakes served with roasted potatoes and seasonal vegetables. I was soooo disappointed in my crab cakes. They were HUGE but they were all filler, no killer. I was digging for crab meat and barely found any. :( my roasted potatoes were fine and so were the veggies. To drink I had a house Cabernet, and a shot towards the end of the meal. The shot was chilled perfectly which was nice. All in all, an average experience.

    PROs - ambience , atmosphere , service CONs - nothing much except parking . Food was 4 stars . It's almost a hidden gem in metuchen. Have passed by this place many number of times and atlast went in !! From outside it looks a small place but it's actually huge ! Plus the backyard seating ! Such amazing ambience inside and also in the backyard . Beautiful lighting and live DJ ! Superbbbbb Service was fantastic ! Loved their choice of beers in the tap .. blue moon was good . Ordered wings and it was ok. Was a bit dry and then they gave me more sauce . Parking was the only issue here . It gets crowded and the parking is pretty much occupied . Apart from this , everything else was awesomeeeee.. thumbs up

    The service I received at The Brown Stone was exceptional. I arrived late on Friday night for an impromptu dinner date with my hubby, and the place was packed. We weren't sure there would be seating for us, but the host (a distinguished gentleman named Rob or Ron) told us to give him a moment and assured that he'd find us a good spot. Hats off to him for going above and beyond to make us feel special. The wait was less than 5 minutes. Because there was only outdoor seating available, he set up a clean table positioning us directly near a heat lamp to ensure that we'd be comfortable and cozy because the night air was humid with a slight chill. Where we were seated out back, we had a up-close view of a competitive corn hole match. The vibes were amazing. Outdoor bar is huge and there's a large tent as well. I very much enjoy the tranquility of the outdoor waterfall. There is much room outdoors to move about - much space to entertain a large gathering or private event. Hats off to the bartender. The drinks pack a punch and you certainly get your money's worth. Must try their signature old fashion!! As for the food, the appetizer sampler is always a go - wings, mozzarella sticks, fried zucchini, cheesy wedges, and maybe one other item that I'm forgetting at the moment. For my entree, I ordered the crab cakes, and although they were rather tasty, texturally they are a little too mushy for my preferences. The dessert tray had a mini key lime pie that I was excited to try but it was just okay. Too much moragne and not enough key lime filling. My overall experience at The Brown Stone was great. I'd gladly come again for a night out with hubby or a group of friends. I just won't go for the crab cakes or the dessert next time.

We had Brunch at "The One", the Rooftop at Tommy's and the overall setting was so beautiful. Since it was the height of summer, it was less crowded, so we were able to get seated at the sofa lounge which was more comfortable. Menu (food) is little different at the rooftop when compared to their regular Menu, but it still had a good selection. We ordered different Appetizers and Cocktails, everything tasted great. Staff are very accommodating, and the service was quick. Definitely recommend

So how did I wind up back here? Bit of a story but if you read my first review you'll see how I met a friend that I met online 13 years ago for the first time and this was the place we went for dinner after an event. Well, now a year later, her and I were traveling together north to Parsippany and this was the closest restaurant that looked appealing. It was not until we enter the parking lot I said out loud, this is where we had our first dinner. Anyways, enough of that love story. I really want to give this two stars for service but the food really pushed it over the top. So all in all I will keep it as a four star review. I want to address the food first, I had the short rib tacos, and my partner had eggplant caprice flatbread. I had a bite of hers which I absolutely enjoyed, eggplant had a nice crisp to it which really made it enjoyable. The short rib tacos... holy crap! Mind blown. I did not expect such great flavor in such a small bite. Everything about the tacos packed a punch. I would much rather have had six tacos and no chips and salsa. As for the service, this is where I got frustrated and my cash tip hopefully reconcile with my server. We dined on the rooftop which was completely empty minus a couple at the bar. We seated and ordered our beverages. I did not get my lime with my lemon water. After we ordered our meals, and received them, a server never came back to check in with us. I wasn't a big fan of her attitud either. It started to get busy I noticed that the host kept seating everyone around us when there was an entire floor to sit people at. Not sure if they're trying to keep people in one specific area but for how slow it was they certainly could've given everyone more privacy. I'm pretty sure the couple that was seated next to us got up and left for that reason. Cannot say I will not be back but who knows when I'll be traveling through again.

I noticed AFTER we ordered that there was a cocktail special that night. Our waitress never mentioned any specials, so I tried to flag her down after I had already ordered a different one not on the list. I mentioned to the hostess what I needed, and I hung out waiting for our waitress at the front. After waiting at least 15 min for her to show up from the back, I was able to ask her to change my drink order. The food here is FABULOUS. We got the housemade Irish soda bread and it was amazing. Hubby got the shepherd's pie and it was delicious. I got the lamb chops over asparagus and mashed potatoes and it was FANTASTIC ! I don't know if our waitress was new or what, but our meals were delivered without silverware. We waited several minutes, then finally flagged down another waitress so that we could eat ! If it wasn't for the poor service, this place could easily be 5 stars due to the fabulous food. Thankfully we got out of there before the live music started, loud music is not our vibe. At the very end of the meal, somehow my original drink order made an appearance (that's what I was afraid of, that she didn't cancel the order). The folks at the table next to us ordered the exact same cocktail, so when the bar tried to give it to us, the waitress told them to give it to the table next to us instead. Geez, we were already paying for our meal at the time. Lol The manager did come out and the end of the meal to ask how things were. I did mention I thought our waitress might be new. I didn't get an answer as to if she was, but I posed it more as a statement than a question.

They quoted us an hour and 45 minute wait -- way too long -- so we made a game-time decision and went to Miller's Ale House instead. Honestly? Very glad we did. We stopped by on a warmer night after a week of being snowed in, so I'm guessing they may have been caught a little off guard because they were definitely understaffed. We were quoted a 35-minute wait and ended up being seated in about 30, which was appreciated. There were quite a few empty tables, but it was clear they were trying to keep the load manageable for the kitchen. Our server Jack apologized for the backup and genuinely did his best to stay on top of things while juggling a lot of tables -- no complaints about the effort at all. We started with wings, which were solid. For entrées, we had the chicken quesadillas and the steak & shrimp combo -- both were good and hit the spot. Overall, it was a decent experience. Restaurant was clean and well kept. The only real downside was the lack of seating for people waiting -- we had to stand the entire 30 minutes, which wasn't the most comfortable. With a few adjustments on busy nights, this place could easily be a 5-star visit.

I was so surprised that the place was pretty busy on a Saturday at 930am. The demographic was quite diverse from families with kids to people with friends and to couples.

They had heating when it was about 50 and drizzling outside and I felt comfortable and warm. The games were easy to set up. I feel like I didn't fully grasp how to play and was just swinging the ball out there for the fun of it (still somehow ranked 2nd place among my friends :P) Our attendant was super helpful and checked in on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The menu wasn't as expensive as I had imagined which is a plus too. The food did take a little bit of time to come out. Wish they provided water for the bays and napkins. I appreciated my time and can see the appeal. I'm glad there's one opening closer to me so hopefully I can go again and get a better grasp on the game!

Not actually has a full size bar, indoor dining area, and an outdoor patio. This is a slight variation from a traditional chicken Parmesan entrée. The cutlet was prepared differently. The edges were pounded thin and had a crispy texture. The center of the cutlet was thick and chewier. Hidden beneath the cutlet was house made spinach linguine. It's different from typical pasta, but it has an acquired earthy taste. The appearance of the vodka sauce isn't the most appealing, but it tastes a lot better than it looks. The sauce was thick and creamy and had chunks of tomato. I highly recommend requesting an additional cup of sauce for full flavor. Overall, I enjoyed this plate. The minor drawback was we arrived while our server was ending his shift during our meal. We were assigned another server and it lead to miscommunication. #stagehousetavern #chickenparmreview #parmesancrustedchickenbreast

The restaurant was not yet crowded, yet my husband and I were put essentially in an "alcove" seating area away from the main dining room. Absolutely no ambiance, right next to the beverage area where the servers gather and also where the high chairs and booster seats were stored. When I noted my displeasure, I was met with, "Sorry, we're really busy today and we can't seat you elsewhere." There were many other empty tables in the main dining room and also empty hightop tables in the bar area. The buffet food was overcooked and cold. The coffee tasted like it was made last night. Total of our bill was $157.00 (and we paid an additional 3% on top of this for credit card). Yes, we knew what it was a head, but they also added an automatic 20% tip and the bill still suggested that we give our server a tip, who we had to follow up with for another cup of coffee, milk and water. Extremely disappointed. We won't be coming back here for a holiday meal.
