Do Not Ever "Eat" Here. It is hard to judge the food when it never comes. Our party of four had a reservation and were seated on time, ordered food immediately and ordered a bottle of wine. An hour later we finally decided to ask where our food was and it was very clear the order had never been entered. The waitress said there was a "snag" with our order. There are literally FOUR ENTREES on the menu and ten other people there, what could go wrong? We had to leave to catch a movie, there was a half assed apology and no offer to comp any of our several rounds of drinks.

We finally left with NO DINNER. Ruined evening, rude, inept people.

Bad attitude and no food, sound like a good night? Not for me.

So Cute.. I love this place. It's very relaxed and yet very romantic. The staff is well educated and helpful especially our server Dave. My boyfriend and I will be back for sure.

Great service, savory food, cozy atmosphere. My boyfriend and I have been to Stonehome about six times in the last two years, and literally have yet to be disappointed. The service has been great in the respect of friendliness, hospitality, and humility - a little slow in getting food to the table, but we've experienced that only when the place was really busy. But having said that, the food is quite worth the wait. The selection of food choices is also great. The place is just not pretentious at all. It's just a great place to hang. We're looking forward to the Spring and Summer to be able to sit out in their backyard space!

Super-good food, excellent wine list, knowledgable staff. I read about Stonehome Wine Bar in the New Yorker, so I went with my boyfriend and a few friends on a Monday night. The room has so much character, the bar itself is BEAUTIFUL and the food and wine lives up to it 100%! Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the fish, and the venison, which you oculd have eaten with a spoon. Our server was super knowledgable and friendly. She made fantastic recommendations. Even later, the guy who brought our food out was able to identify on the spot what we were drinking when we wanted another glass, but we had forgotten the name of it! The atmosphere was so chill, and I would definitely recommend it as a great place for a date or just to get together with friends. I can't wait to go back!

Food Excellent, Wine List Uninspired. The food at Stonehome is the most well executed in Brooklyn. Thats where it starts and ends. It seems as if everything else at Stonehome is a bit disconnected. Servers don't know the most basic ingredients in the dishes, and most wine recommendations seem to be off the mark. The wine by the glass is where the list shines. Don't bother reading the full list because it lacks focus throughout. Italy is a mess and regions such as Bordeaux and Spain are left in the dust. I recommend the place, but it could be better
