Stone Cellar

Nice enjoyable meal with good service

I purchased a discount coupon online, but based on the reviews on the internet, I had concerns about trying the resturant after making my purchase.
However, Trista provided great service, (the place was 50% to 70% full) and the food was good. The atmosphere is nice but nothing to shall we say write home about.
They offered a nice Draft Beer selection and have a nice wine selection - suggestion for glass or bottle Merlot - Columbia Crest(WA) $6.glass. Trista suggested I try the Sweet Thai Wings and they were very good, hot with a touch of sweetness not burning in spice just right.
Spouse had the Stuffed Mushrooms - warned her and waitress about poor reviews posted on them but was assured they were good - Spouse said they were FANTASTIC.

Not a big fan of Lamb Chops (Dijon) in a new place for me but again Trista assured me they were good and she was right. Order them Med with a hair towards well vs rare.

Salad dressing Mango - yum, yum and spouse had Concord Grape which she enjoyed. To top off our meal, took home leftovers we were so full..
Raspberry Lemon Drop was great and the Brownie was ok.

The various people around us appeared to enjoy their meals when questioned by the waitstaff. I thought the service was very good and the food was good. I would recommend you try this place right next to the Stanley and we would go back when in Utica for dinner or lunch.  Trista mentioned they brought in a new chef.
