Stone Park Cafe

Stone Park Cafe is the Barbie Movie of brunch spots. Everyone loves it and you want to be cool and counterculture and not like it, but with 5 star service (Molly), cozy clean decor and delicious food, you can’t help but follow the crowd and dawn your pink beach outfit and order the fish cakes. Stone Park Cafe lives up to the hype.

We arrived. Hostess said she would be right with us. Never came back. A guy shows up, she gives him a big hug, seats him at the last available table. He's famous. People stop by to tell him they love his work. We're told we can wait or be seated at the bar. We grab two seats at the bar and the bartender starts to set our places. He grabs napkins from under the bar and mine has mouse droppings on it. He snatches it away quickly and passes it over my coffee cup and water. I kept it to myself. Was served a nice plate of pancakes with fruit. Noticed on the way out their Grade was listed as Pending. I'm going to skip this place next time we go to brunch.

Finally got to try this neighborhood hotspot, perfectly located on a corner and across from a nice park in Park Slope. Started with some nicely made cocktails and moved on to a bottle of reasonably priced Prosecco. Had a lobster bisque and a nice arrugula salad with white anchovies and quail eggs. Both were very good but bisque could have been a little hotter. For dinner we had the black ink pasta with seafood and a coconut milk and tomato sauce, very nicely done and seafood tasted fresh. We also had the whole grilled branzino, excellent sized fish, nicelly cooked and spiced served with a side of sautéed kale. We also had a side order of delicious oven baked potato quarters. We went all out and had some amazing desserts, a blueberry bread pudding and a chocolate liquidy cake. I was happy that we were finally able to check this fine place out, it certainly did not disappoint.

Get. The. Pancakes. Got the eggs Benedict which was super good. The potatoes were excellent. Then got pancakes to share. The presentation was so beautiful and the pancakes themselves were so delicious, that we barely wanted syrup. Judy, who helped us to our seats and ran the show on this busy Sunday brunch, was incredibly nice and accommodating. You could tell she was going above and beyond for this place. Overall, wonderful experience and definitely recommend!!

We've come here for brunch and dinner, both were good but the dinner was incredible. The pork belly appetizer (daily special) was perfectly crispy, in a delicious glaze, and with a side of spicy cold noodles. The seared scallops were absolutely perfect, in a delicious creamy sauce, accompanied by really well prepared broccoli with sausage and squid ink pasta. We also got the fish of the day, pan seared salmon, which was great. But the potato wedges were the star. The crisp on the outside made them the best potato wedges I've had. Delicious cocktails, lovely ambiance, and excellent service!

To kick off the review of Stone Park Cafe, let’s start with the good. I purchased the Steak and Eggs & the steak was cooked pretty well. The portions were pretty big. I subbed out the potatoes for fries (classy I know) for a steak frites type of deal. This is when things take a turn toward mediocrity. The fries were quite underwhelming - something I believe is quite hard to achieve. They were coated in a crispy cover yet were surprisingly soggy. Beyond this, I ordered my eggs over easy. They came out almost completely cooked through, lacking any seasoning at all. The steak was somewhat under seasoned, yet, had quite a nice flavor. The whole aesthetic was a bit tacky in my opinion, the water glasses were tall and bulky, the plates were unnecessarily huge, and the walls were quite barren, with a failed farm to table-decor type of vibe. All in all, I don’t quite understand the high reviews of this place. The portions were nice and the food and service okay, probably wouldn’t come back.

Popped in for breakfast and was able to grab a seat at the bar right away. Came here with a few friends and Angela our bartender was absolutely amazing, attentive and had a friendly personality. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and the Salmon Bagel which were both delicious! I tried the Passion Fruit Mimosa and the Bloody Mary with Titos and requested it with a half salt & pepper rim job (both were nice and boozy) and they were great! I left very happy. It's always nice when you can get great drinks and food at one location. Would definitely come back for breakfast/ brunch while in town.
