Stonecat Cafe: Regional Cuisine & Bar

Delicious, creative cuisine. Good service and mostly local and organic food. Fresh herbs

My wife and I decided to choose Stonecat as the place to enjoy a quiet, celebratory, anniversary dinner. The Cafe did not disappoint. The table service and meals were wonderful.

Our waitress was cheery and pleasant to speak with. The food was delicious, well proportioned and nicely presented. I noticed that my drinking glass had 3 large letters on one side and that a few customers were wearing t-shirts with the same 3 letters "NFA". When I asked the waitress what the letters stood for she asked me if I wanted the kitchen version or the cleaned-up choir boy version. Well, the choir boy version is "Not Fooling Around"! I'll leave the other version alone. Agreed! The kitchen staff is on their game. The meal was wonderful and satisfying.

How come 4 stars? I like to be totally honest in a review. Walking in the door we were "greeted" by a frankly, snotty hostess whose attitude might have turned me around if we didn't have a pre-paid gift reservation. Enough.

My dining experience at Stonecat was wonderful and I am likely to return on a future trip to the Watkins Glen area.

Our first time in this area of NY, this restaurant came highly recommended. It did not disappoint. Appetizers were excellent, as were main courses. Waitress was a sweetheart. Very helpful. Desert delish and cappuccino as creamy as I’ve ever had, tasty, and hot. Doesn’t get much better.

If I could give this place more stars I would. The food is delicious and and fresh (the rhubarb for my desert was picked from the garden). The portions are good but you still have room for dessert. They are very accommodating; one friend ordered an ice tea which was unsweetened and they brought out simple syrup for him. Another friend had issues with dairy and they offered to make the dishes vegan. We were visiting the area and the waitress offered to take a picture of our group. I definitely would recommend coming to this place.

Thoughly enjoyed the food. Very enjoyable.
Great wine selection, and we enjoyed a few!
Staff was both professional and friendly.
A great evening, thank you.
