Stonewood Tavern

Finally a updated restaurant with good food and nice bar in Peabody!  So why just an A-ok review? Because of the live band.  The place is too small for a live band and I have been there on several occasions to meet up with friends and you end up yelling over the band to hear each other.  We even went on a Tuesday night thinking it might be quieter, but nope a one man band showed up.   Its too bad because the food is great, but this will deter me from going on a regular basis.

Situated off of Lynnfield Street in Peabody, Stonewood Tavern is in a nice little plaza with plenty of parking and a few other shops.  The place is new, nicely decorated with tables and a large centrally located bar.  Must have been ladies' night because there will quite a few well dressed older women and a couple of families.

Staff were pleasant, food was good and priced reasonably.  The entrees were a bit pricey - 20+.  I just got the mini sliders and my partner got the steak sandwich.  Nothing out of the ordinary - although nicer looking than your average restaurant.  Nothing bad to say about the place - which, I suppose, means it's good.

Probably go back.

On the road. Nice place, good food. Draft IPA's on tap. Very up to date interior design, lots of windows, large bar. My colleagues had the mixed grill, everything done very well. I had the Bologenese pasta with ricotta. Nice flavor and a satisfying sized portion.  A little pricey, but considering the range of food available and the careful prep, a reasonable value. Will return.
