"For quite some time I've been meaning to go to Stonewood Tavern, it's only a few minutes away from my home and I've seen good reviews and it just sounded really good. I took the initiative offered a date night with my husband; we ended up going to the Stonewood tavern. We were immediately sat, we were asked if we had reservations, and we didn't but no issue because there was no wait. This was a Thursday at dinner time, so you can picture it . I don't know why I thought there was a patio with a waterfront seating but there wasn't. They did have a patio but it wasn't opened, nor offered. We were sat in a booth by the window greeted promptly by our waitress, very nice waitress we had! She brought us some water to start complimentary bread. I asked her a question about the menu and she did not even hesitate to help me out, (brownie points!! I appreciated that a lot. She even welcomed us since it was our first time dining there. For appetizers we ordered the Spanikopita. I love spinach, I love Greek food so there's a high standard when it comes to Spanikopita. To drink I ended up drinking a seltzer with lemon lime and my husband went along with a beer flight you can choose 4 beers on draft for $10. For our dinner selections I picked the Stifado my husband picked the skirt steak dinner. Now mind you the prices at the Stonewood tavern are a bit pricey. I was looking at their dessert menu. It was the generic dessert list: cheesecake chocolate cake, carrot cake, apple crisp, nothing spectacular. We received our appetizer the Spanikopita... when we looked at it it was 5 pieces of very small Spanikopita. They looked like little bite, basically for $11 I thought that was a little pricey for just spinach, feta and filo. At this point now we were looking at each other thinking "

"The outside of the store doesn't do the interior justice. When I walked in everything was very nice and fashionable, and I was gratefully glad to see the lack of the usual campy Mexican Resturant decor you might usually see. Everything was just very -nice- looking. The menu is large, but not terribly bloated. I ordered the Pork Colorado and the Wife Ordered the Mojo. The Colorado was very nice, and most folks would call it good on spice; However I like my food to taste like rocket fuel so they brought out some much spicier salsa for me and it ramped up the heat to a lovely degree. The beans were also cleaner. Refried beans usually have this tongue slapping weight about them when you eat them, but these had a very clean finish and I actually finished all of mine with my colorado. Not sure if they make them, but they looked different. The pork of the colorado was so tender that i was able to crush it into a pate with my fork with little effort, and anyone with chewing problems shouldnt have much problems. The mojo was... Interesting. The wife mostly ate it while I poked at her rice curiously. It honestly didnt look like much, but was garlicky and very seafoody in taste, and she described it as sweet, garlicky, and creamy thanks to the avocados. It was also generous with shrimp, tail on. She remarked the shrimp didnt taste frozen (its the midwest), and were properly cooked so they were still moist and soft.The only down point was the salsa. It had wonderful flavor and was tangy... But was very thin. Seemed almost more like a sauce than a chip salsa. My beard caught a lot of it, thats for sure...Over all, will gladly be back to try more of their selection. Hopefully the salsa is thicker next time so it can be properly enjoyed."
