What a wonderful experience. Service was so attentive and our server Ricky could not have been better. He described everything eloquently, and anticipated all of our needs. The setting and atmosphere are second to none. After brunch we strolled around the beautiful property.

Only positive things to say about this spot. Located on San Ysidro Ranch, the drive up felt like something out of a movie. The service was impeccable and the foodbwas stellar. I will definitely come back when I am in the area. It is pricey though, so be sure to check their menu ahead of time so you don’t get sticker shock. Regardless, the price tag matches the experience. The staff are knowledgable and very engaging. Shoutout to my main server Leon, he was fantastic! Thanks again to all the staff, can’t wait to come back next time!

Stonehouse has been a favorite of ours for years, usually for dinner. This time we came for their Champagne Brunch and, for the first time, sat outside on the garden patio. It was a beautiful setting, and the weather couldn’t have been better – especially after SoCal had just survived yet another round of atmospheric river storms over Christmas.

We were there with friends, and between the four of us, we managed to order most of the items on this special brunch menu. I started with the burrata and prosciutto, which was anything but traditional – in the best way. It was far more interesting and delicious than expected. I also ordered the shakshuka, my go-to at Stonehouse brunches, and it absolutely delivered. For dessert, I chose the profiterole, and it was hands-down the best part of the meal. I wish I could take those home with me.

As always, the service was impeccable. Our server was genuinely warm and happy, and it showed. They kept the table perfectly managed – clearing and resetting seamlessly – and made sure our champagne, mimosa, and prosecco glasses were never empty.

The worst part? Having to leave. Granted, we spent a leisurely two and a half hours enjoying the food, the setting, and catching up with old friends.

Will we be back? Absolutely. We make it a point to come at least once a year. Stonehouse is an experience – it’s not just a meal.

We had such a beautiful, romantic evening!
The gardens were lovely to stroll through, and their signature cocktails were the perfect start. The dinner itself was beyond extraordinary among the best food I have ever tasted.
After dinner, we enjoyed a nightcap in the lounge, with cozy and elegant atmosphere.

A very special mention goes to our server, Ivana. She was outstanding, warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. Her dish recommendations were spot on. She made us feel so welcomed and cared for, like we were the only guests there.
Overall, this place exceeded all expectations!

If there were ten stars I’d give it for the atmosphere- the grounds are beautiful!! We had a family lunch and were able to enjoy the gardens. The food was of course delicious and the smoked drinks are fun! Friendly, courteous staff. They had a nice kid’s menu that was also a nice surprise// if nearby, it would be a treat for sure! Highly recommend-

The grounds and service are exceptional. The food was very good and the table side preperation options are nice. We enjoyed a cocktail at the speak easy prior to dinner and walked the grounds. They enjoyed our dinner at a beautiful outdoor table. It is a dining experience from start to finish. Give yourself time to walk thr gardens with a drink prior to dinner

We absolutely loved our experience here! You will not find a more beautiful setting, better service and great food at one location! They had amazing mocktail options for those of us who don’t drink and every bite of food was delectable. Every server and worker there greeted us with warmth and the absolute best service. It was a bonus to walk the grounds after dinner!

Let me start with the estate experience. Awesome garden, which they actually use most of it for their restaurant. Service experience is great, everyone was so friendly, right from the entrance and exit. Food presentation and how they serve the dish to you was amazing. Food taste was okay, nothing too exciting or unique about it. I wish they have more selections. Like their wine and cocktail lists. Overall atmosphere and staff services are top notch.

I decided on Stonehouse for my birthday dinner after hearing so much about it, and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had, especially for a restaurant that carries such a reputation and price tag.

From the start, the service felt disorganized. We requested to sit in the outdoor area overlooking the ocean. We made reservations months in advance for the best patio seating but at 5:45 pm we’re told nothing available even though only 2 tables occupied. Instead, we were told to go to the veranda with vague directions on how to get there while others were personally escorted, we were left to figure it out ourselves.

Once at the veranda, we stood at the door for five minutes while three staff members nearby continued chatting without acknowledging us. Only when we asked directly were we seated. At first, we were placed near the fireplace, but just five minutes later we were told we had to move. We carried our own waters and wine to a new table.

What made this worse was watching as other guests were accommodated at the better tables by the fireplace. It felt like we were pushed aside. Our server was great, very knowledgeable, professional and accommodating! Nothing but great things to say about him!

The food itself was the final letdown. For the reputation and the prices, it was bland, and far from Michelin star quality. Nothing stood out as memorable or worth returning for. They seemed to care more about presentation than flavor.

The one positive was the Speakeasy, which had a great atmosphere. But overall, the experience at Stonehouse was far below expectations. it was not worth the price.
