“ Bucket list to attend a dinner at stone soup cottage, and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere, food, and service is top notch! The atmosphere is perfect in transporting you to a French countryside. We walked around the beautiful garden of flowers that they use for their table flowers. Arrived at 6 to have a cocktail before dinner and it was excellent! My husband and I are obsessed with the roll with the sprinkle of pepper. Amazing. Do the wine pairing with the dinner- the dessert wine at the end complimented the fresh peach dessert perfectly. Service was wonderful and I love how the chef brings out the food. We will definitely go back for special occasions! ”
“ A fantastic fine dinning experience with a warm atmosphere and welcoming staff. The outdoor seating area prior to dinner provides a great opportunity to relax and take in your surroundings. The food was a set menu and was excellent, even items I normally would not eat were great. Portions are fairly small which is to be expected but I left feeling content and not overly full. ”
“ Chef Carl and Nancy curated an exquisite coursed brunch/dinner experience that is second to none. We felt welcomed and well served by their staff and enjoyed every moment over multiple visits. The changing seasonal menus with farm fresh vegetables, locally sourced ingredients, and thoughtful wine pairings are always a well balanced delight. We look forward to returning many times as each visit is a little different but always very special. Bravo! ”
“ Food is delicious! Most of their dishes made with fresh local ingredients. A very nice place good for special occasions. Somewhere you can actually eat, talk and enjoy the time. ”
“ We came here for the cooking experience and the 3 course meal. Nancy met us at the door with sparkling rose, we also met Chef Carl, and got to chat before the dinner experience. ... ”
“ Every detail of our dinner at Stone Soup Cottage was carefully curated. The team (since they work all together) was amazing, could not have been more accommodating and kind. The cocktails and food were out of this world. We don’t typically go for French cuisine (we went to the Spring in Paris dinner series) but this farm to table meal was unforgettable! ”
“ The restaurant is charming and intimate, located on a scenic little farm overlooking a creek. Tables are spaced appropriately to allow private conversation with your dinner companions, but without feeling isolated. Each course was beautifully plated and served personally by Chef Carl. Every bite was perfect and memorable. ”
“ My wife and I had an amazing date night at Stone Soup Cottage as we were teleported to the French country side for a French picnic next to a pond with trickling water and live music. Amazing food, wine, and our gracious hosts Carl and Nacy! Thank you for an amazing evening and a much needed break!! ”
