Stonewood Grill Tavern - Port Orange

We happened to be in the Daytona/Port Orange area over Mother's Day and much to my surprise there really weren't many restaurants that did anything special for that day. At home in PA seemingly every place has some kind of hustle going for a buffet or surf turf or a lobster something or other but in this area it was more of a struggle. I almost booked a few different places but either the menu prices were really high or the buffet items looked very underwhelming so it was kind of tough. By accident on OpenTable I stumbled across Stonewood and the menu seemed solid, the prices aren't crazy and the location was very convenient so I took the last four spot at Noon. Getting to Stonewood and parking were super easy. No issues either getting seated as we had our reservation. Our server (name escapes me) was fabulous. He said he had been with the Stonewood restaurant group for over a decade and had been at the Port Orange location since it opened. Sometimes that could be a bad thing but not this time as he was as cool as the other side of the pillow. Cheeseburger Roasted Salmon Blackened Chicken Pasta Lobster Tail Special All items ordered either met or exceeded the menu description which is of course a good thing and to a degree a rare thing when you know in advance that restaurant will be filled with the staff all getting pulled a million ways. Now just to be fair, a few criticisms. 1. The Lobster Tail special at $39.99 is obviously a ripoff in terms of price. The lovely wife enjoyed the flavor and the copious amount of butter that was brought to the table but the tails themselves were very small. Not literally of course, but figuratively they were more langoustine like than lobster like. 2. While it was a nice touch that Stonewood was offering all moms free Mimosas that day both my wife and the table in front of us thought they tasted like ****. The comment from the table in front of us was that the flavor was akin to bitter dirty bathwater or that the OJ was spoiled. But the good far outweighed the bad as the service was great and the food was more than good enough to justify its price point. I would have no problem coming back to Stonewood to try more of the menu during future visits.

This was GREAT food for the price. It was an upscale environment and food delivery, but you can eat for under $20. They do accept reservations which seemed hard to do in Daytona Beach. Actually, nice restaurants in Daytona Beach that weren't cliche chains were hard to find. This fit the bill of what we were looking for. The waiter helped us pick out a beer, letting us a sample one before ordering. Also brought an assortment of bread types to the table. I thought that was neat to have a choice of type of bread! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good place to eat!

This place has been a true diamond since opening. The salads are huge, dressing great and don't forget the addictive pretzel sticks. On the entree side, steaks, ribs , chops are exceptional as is the cedar plank salmon! But most importantly, don't forget the chocolate bread pudding wth Jack Daniels sauce and Hagen Daz ice cream . Wait staff is also most attentive- and timely.casual dining doesn't get better.

Went there EASTER . 0ur 1st visit Great time!! I had the lamb good but nothing special. Wife had the Salmon very good. I was jealous. Would go again! Get the PainKiller drink ...

Customer service is key. My family drove a hour from Orlando to have dinner tonight when we arrived we were advised that there was a 60 to 70 minute wait. We decided to stay sat in the parking lot for an hour waiting on a text that our table was ready. My mother went back after an and was told we are second on the list. We sat there and watched other people be seated. Then a couple came in and complained to the manager and was seated immediately when my mom asked the hostess she was to that the couple complained about the wait and the manager gave them our table and we had to wait longer. When I asked the hostess she said everyone ahead of us had a reservation and that's why they've been seated , but nobody told us that while we waited for over and hour and still didn't eat. We ended up driving back to Orlando to get dinner elsewhere. Waste of a trip.
