Great brunch!! Myself and friends dined here last month for the restaurant's first time hosting brunch. Overall, it was good. I ordered the shrimp and grits and a holiday drink or two. River Stone is definitely a jewel in Suffolk. My favorite time to visit is for happy hour. And dine at the bar. The vibes are always high. The happy hour menu features drinks and food at great prices. Some of my favs: the egg rolls, the sliders and all the drinks :) Parking is never an issue. The staff is always friendly and ready to make your dining experience memorable. I highly recommend you check them out. While dining at the bar, around the bar is cool, the table seating in the dining room is a pleasure too. I have not ventured upstairs, but one day I will and I'll let you know. Have fun and enjoy life :)

Food was amazing! Sides you can share, steaks that were sized like they are supposed to be and great selection! Customer service was great and our waitress was on it! And Ambiance was a quaint, nicely set up, not on top of each other... There is a dress code, but not strict, just no PJs, sweats, hoodies... so no beach and bum clothes... just take a shower and no holes. One rule they need is no cell phones on speaker... WAS super annoying!

We celebrated our company's Christmas party here. What a treat. The restaurant was very spacious and designed for just these occasions. We were upstairs is a private room. The menu was preselected with two salad options, three main course dishes, and cheesecake for dessert. We had a very nice appetizer spread as well. I went with the Filet and Shrimp main. Cook temp medium rare. It was perfect. Accompanied by mashed potatoes and broccolini. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. Service was fantastic. They were rolling to keep everything hydrated and never left an empty dish lingering. This was really enjoyable. I highly recommend you check them out!

Visited River Stone on a date night, and I would definitely return. The staff was excellent from the moment we entered to the moment we left. Our waiter Bill was great - friendly, attentive, made good recommendations, great conversation. We had the Scottish Salmon and NY strip steak along with the brussel sprouts and smashed potatoes. Everything was great. No complaints what so ever. Drink wise we had the strawberry lemon drop and old fashion - both very good! I would definitely visit the restaurant again... would like to sit outside by the fire pits next time!

River Stone Chophouse was an amazing experience. A true chophouse, our server brought out a butcher block with every cut of meat and shared how they're cut, seasoned, and prepared. Our server was friendly and professional. It's a great atmosphere for a date night, but they also have a bar seating area for something more casual. Everything was prepared to perfection and so delicious. No matter what you order, I'm sure you'll love it. We were too full for dessert, but the menu looked amazing. We'll absolutely be back soon!

Solid 4.5 I've always wanted to check this place out. Went here on a whim as a buddy and I have been going around trying all the major steak places in the area. So coming in, it's quite nice for sure. The visual aesthetics of this place definitely set it up for an elevated experience. Looking at the menu and servings, it's a tapas style serving and you have to be prepared to spend a bit (but that's given ahead of time if you're reading the $$$ amount. What's neat is that they do things like a traditional chophouse and do the cuts on-site. Kind of a neat flair and you can definitely taste the difference in the cut of the steak. So overall, the food was very delicious. The server we had was amazing and super friendly. The cuts of the meat were on point and the sides we ordered we very good. Expect to spend about $60 a person and if you're good with it, then it's all good. Come out to enjoy. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 4 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Fancy chophouse with a intimate feel. Definitely a step up if you're looking for something boujee Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: no
