Editorial Review for Stonehome Wine Bar – by Kara Zuaro
The Scene
A classy neighborhood crowd lingers along the free-form curves of a long and shapely cherry-wood bar. Slow-grooving hip-hop and mellow Latin beats play in the background. Colorful faux suede banquettes provide space for quiet conversations, and abstract paintings bedeck the brick-exposed walls. Smokers head for the umbrella tables on the backyard patio.
The Food
The menu includes small plates, such as the light fennel and apple slaw or the spinach and cheese ravioli, plus a full dinner menu, but the real attraction (besides the wine) is the cheese. Sample a few selections, like the creamy Italian robiola or the nutty manchego from Spain. The friendly servers know their wine and help patrons whittle down the extensive wine list to find the perfectly matched glass, bottle or carafe. Staff favorites include the fruity Rutz Cellars pinot noir and the inexpensive and earthy Saint Anastasia Nero D'Avola.

My boyfriend and I have been to Stonehome about six times in the last two years, and literally have yet to be disappointed. The service has been great in the respect of friendliness, hospitality, and humility - a little slow in getting food to the table, but we've experienced that only when the place was really busy. But having said that, the food is quite worth the wait. The selection of food choices is also great. The place is just not pretentious at all. It's just a great place to hang. We're looking forward to the Spring and Summer to be able to sit out in their backyard space!
Pros: Friendly service with a smile, great tasting food, reasonable price, pretty & cozy atmosphere
Cons: Slightly slow food service

I read about Stonehome Wine Bar in the New Yorker, so I went with my boyfriend and a few friends on a Monday night. The room has so much character, the bar itself is BEAUTIFUL and the food and wine lives up to it 100%! Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the fish, and the venison, which you oculd have eaten with a spoon. Our server was super knowledgable and friendly. She made fantastic recommendations. Even later, the guy who brought our food out was able to identify on the spot what we were drinking when we wanted another glass, but we had forgotten the name of it! The atmosphere was so chill, and I would definitely recommend it as a great place for a date or just to get together with friends. I can't wait to go back!
Pros: Food, wine, staff, atmosphere
Cons: Wish it was closer to subway lines!
