    We went to our favorite restaurant in Park Slope once again. While many other restaurants have come and gone, Stone Park has maintained its high standards for many years. The food is always very good. The staff are courteous and professional. Its interior environment is very pleasant.

    Wonderful place to have gluten free food. Even when I asked for crackers with my oysters, I got the look :). Food was better then most gluten free places. Prices are reasonable. Service was awesome but we were early and the only people there. Definitely will go back!

    Had a great experience at Beer Street. We hosted a family party here and we were able to bring in catered food. The staff was super accommodating and even opened a little early to allow us to set up the catering! And amazing beer and wine selection! Highly recommend!
