Stone House

My husband and I tried the Stone House for the first time as a birthday adventure for me and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. We went during happy hour- amazing deals. Every drink and dish were so unique and enjoyable. We were excited to see rare mushroom dishes- a morel and asparagus small plate and a lion’s mane steak entree. Both totally blew us away. We also tried the chicken mole, white pizza, arancini, and strawberry tart. All of it was impeccable. We also enjoyed the two bartending women. They were excellent. Highly, highly recommend.

Definitely enjoyed the meal at Stone House. Everyone was very friendly. The food and drink were good and atmosphere neat. A nicer and little different experience in Nevada city.

The kitchen's last call is around 9pm. The chicken sandwich is okay, the bread is really good. They gave me a lot of fries, but they are a bit soft and cold. A decent venue, I can imagine a party downstairs and dining upstairs.

Beautiful wedding venue! Megan and her staff were super helpful! I was a the florist for a wedding this past Saturday. I did not have the opportunity to eat due to the wedding. Thank you soo much! - Jes Flowers🌸🌸

Awesome experience dining in The Cavern at The Stone House. Went for a company outing and enjoyed happy hour drinks at the bar while waiting for everyone to arrive. The bar tender was so incredibly friendly and happy to offer drink suggestions. The wait staff was courteous as well. We were brought to the cavern and told that it used to be an old wine celler, so it is chilly. They have heaters available for that reason. Once seated, we ordered all kinds of appetizers, entrees and desserts and every one of them was delicious. Definitely recommended!

The food was great, nice atmosphere but the waiter’s unwillingness to provide separate checks for two couples and lying about Sierra Nevada Brewery being owned by Budweiser just pissed us off. I’ve been in the restaurant business and there is no good reason not to provide separate checks when a party requests them other than complete laziness. And Sierra Nevada Brewery is still family-owned and operated. Check the facts!

Outdoor seating or you get service from the bar. Bartender and servers were friendly and welcoming. I chose the kale salad and it wasn't very flavorful. The other meals looked good. The outdoor area is pleasant.

Hands down the best dining experience in Nevada County! Excellent menu combined with first-rate service, in a unique and charismatic space. The food and presentation were comparable the very best I’ve experienced in high-end SF, NY, & LA eateries, while the vibe of the place is pure Gold Country: rock-solid and unpretentious. Tonight’s details: we started with a delightful asparagus and creamy cashew soup and an appetizer of thin-sliced beets, then moved on to the scallops with puréed cauliflower & pesto and the fettuccine with morel mushrooms and prawns. Both of these paired beautifully with the featured Chardonnay. I wish I had taken pictures for you, but you’ll have to imagine them… or go experience it for yourself!

This was the best meal we had over our weekend getaway to Nevada City. We had a drink in the bar downstairs while we waited for our table. The decor is spot on gold country. We liked the music playing down there so much we ended up Shazaming a bunch of songs like the Gen X dorks we are. Upstairs Skye was our server. The menu was full of enticing options and we were well on our way to over ordering. But the informed way Skye made recommendations that spoke to our specific questions helped us narrow our choices to the perfect amount of food and balance of flavors. His wine pairings were perfect and reasonably priced. The scallop crudo and Dungeness crab salad were my favorite. We split the fresh, handmade mushroom fettuccine pasta with gulf shrimp and we couldn't stop raving about it. We also had the mole. Skye said he thinks the mole is so good they should sell in on its own. We agreed but I don't think the chicken and plantain preparation did it justice. Still a great way to round out an inspired and palate tickling combination of dishes. We shared the perfectly sized crème brûlée for dessert. We were so pleased we bought the chef a drink to say thanks. Skye was the best! We are hoping to check out his production of RENT! when we visit again this May. That's how great our experience was.

My husband and I came up from Sacramento for their Valentine's Day tasting menu. There is a lot of great things to be said about Stone House. The history and ambiance of this place is really something special. There was an old movie playing on stage which was totally my vibe. It really was the perfect setting for a cute Valentine's Day outing. The 4-course tasting menu was delicious and the staff was completely delightful. But what I am most impressed about is the integrity of its ownership. There was a somewhat significant issue with our dinner and I was so impressed with how the Stone House handled this crazy situation. So what happened? My husband and I are both long-term sober members of a secret coffee club. Sober alcoholics, to be frank. I've been sober for 10 years and my husband for 12. We frequently order mocktails when we go out to eat and this night, we ordered their Rosy Bottom Mocktails. A few sips in, it was apparent to me that there *had* to be alcohol in what they gave me. My throat burned and the room got rosy. Frightened and baffled, we asked our server for new drinks. She took our drinks away and returned with new ones. She assured us that she watched the bartender make the 2nd round and they were *completely non-alcoholic*. Trusting her, I sipped my new drink. There *had* to be gin in this. Feeling insane, I asked for a Coke instead. On our way home, I called the Stone House and got Jonathan, the owner, on the phone. I told him what happened and that as crazy as I sounded, I was sure there was alcohol in our 2 rounds of drinks. My idea, I explained, was that they must have mislabeled their drink mixes because without a doubt and despite what I was being told, there was gin in their mocktail. As I write this new review, it's been two days since Valentine's Day. Ironically, today is my 10th sobriety anniversary. Jonathan just called me back to let me know he researched what had happened and confirmed that I was not crazy - the drink mixes indeed had been mislabeled. We were served alcoholic drinks. To be honest, I wasn't expecting such honesty and I am so grateful for it. I had really felt crazy that night. Not only did Jonathan take responsibility for the restaurant's mistake, he assured me that the restaurant will no longer pre-mix any of their drinks and that all drinks will be made to order to ensure this never happens again. What more can you ask for? Mistakes happen. I am just grateful that I recoiled from the alcohol the moment I realized what was happening, and that it didn't happen to someone whose sobriety may have been on shakier ground. All in all, it was an excellent lesson for me and my husband and even with 10 and 12 years of sobriety, respectively, we realize that we need to be on guard and ask more questions when we are ordering any kind of non-alcoholic drinks from bars. But in regard to the Stone House, I am grateful they handled the situation with total integrity. I am impressed they have changed their policies and retrained their staff. I truly look forward to returning. Thanks for being a part of my sober journey, Stone House. See you again soon.

Food was excellent! Service was ok, but they were very short staffed that night. Cool looking place

Great happy hour till 7pm. $20 cocktail and app. Great service and nice cool spot out of the heat. Recommend!

We had a reservation for 4 at 5:45. Parking is a real problem as the restaurant parking lot is torn up and the city is replacing the nearby bridge so the adjacent public parking lot is closed too. Obviously this is not the restaurants fault but it does impact the current experience. Due to all of this the couple joining us had a long walk as they had to find street parking. We were promptly seated upstairs. There is no elevator so one has to walk up two flights of stairs. There is also downstairs seating available but the ambiance is less upscale. Overall this is a unique old historic building built in the 1800's. They even have a cave with tunnels that were functional in the 1800's. The menu has various gourmet dishes. The fried Chicken was excellent and has a portion of Mashed Potatoes with it and is reasonably priced. Scallops were good but nothing served with them so order a side. Service was too slow , but professional. Overall this experience was not as good as several previous experiences.

Beautiful place! Such a wonderful surprise on our way back. The food is gorgeous. The ambience is classy. Aaron who is our waiter has a wonderful energy, great hospitality and wonderful service.

I was very lucky yesterday, as it was not only the first day they were offering lunch, but also the first day their patio was open. I can vouch for a tasty squash and ginger soup, excellent potato curry, and a very good shishito pepper and veggie pizza, especially with a bit of Calabrian chilis. The food, just as I experienced it last fall in their main dining room, is top-notch. The patio is one of a very few in town that offers a view that isn't heavy on cars. It warms quickly in the afternoon sun, but they have plans to provide shade very soon. I'm so excited that I don't have to wait until 5 p.m. to enjoy this wonderful restaurant! It's hard to beat this establishment anywhere for its food and ambiance.

The Stone House has become our favorite downtown location for a special dinner or casual drinks and superb bites. We went for Happy Hour this time and marveled at the quality and quantity of yummy large grilled shrimp, white pizza and smashed potatoes in our orders. Service was exceptional, our food arrived promptly and as ordered even though it was a busy Friday night. Of course, their creative cocktails never disappoint. Not only are the bar, lounge and restaurant beautifully styled and appointed, even the bathrooms are gorgeous! Everything at the Stone House is top notch and staff is extremely professional, friendly and helpful. It really feels like a highly rated San Francisco restaurant without the crowds and high prices....right down to the quality Heath plates, cotton napkins and hefty silverware. We also especially enjoyed the background music. It was early in the evening and the music set just the right mood at a perfect volume, something we rarely experience these days. Thank you for being here, Stone House. The locals truly appreciate you and all you share with us.

This was the best meal we had during our long weekend in Nevada City! The service was great, the mocktail list fun, and the food was wonderful. The fried chicken, steak frites and the Dungeness crab salad were highlights.

The food is amazing. The service was great, and the chef is out of this world. The BEST fried chicken I've ever had. My wife had the sea bass, and it was equally phenomenal. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend. Reasonably priced too!

Awesome food, great service and a really cool cave dining experience. Megan is great!

This is a great environment for dinner out in a historical building with great architecture and ambiance. Food and service has always been good every time I've been there. Food is always on point as well. Definitely would recommend

I had the best Valentine Dinner with a Prix-fix menu The chef did an amazing job The bar drinks were fantastic The atmosphere has a stone and timber mining vibe

I'm here with a big group, but me and my wife and I have not even received the water that we asked for. It's been 45 minutes, and im parched. I'm sitting here with an empty water glass, no alcoholic beverage, or food. I guess the ambiance is ok. It would be better if I was not thirsty.

We had a very nice meal at the Stonehouse on a pleasant Thursday evening. Locals that have been around for a while know how restaurants come and go at this location, this latest incarnation is very nice. Starting from when we entered until we left the service was very attentive, they have a good staff there. I had the scallops, my wife had the duck confit. Both were very nice dishes. And their drinks were excellent. The interior is still nice but from pasts experience it can get quite loud in in there when loaded with patrons. I really hope they use the back patio when it warms up, it was quite pleasant under the previous owners.

Love the stone house! We will come back soon! We had a wedding event here and everything was very well done. The service was great and the food was super good. Try it yourself!

Great food and great service. Calie is fantastic and was very knowledgeable about the food and wine. The building is beautiful and great ambiance.

Excellent Nevada City gold country venue and great vibes! Bar menu is fun and chef is excellent. Also attended a live musical show that was very entertaining. Downstairs is a laid back, anytime bar, upstairs is a special date night/event restaurant. Friendly, attentive personnel!

It's not always easy to find great food in this area but we were very impressed by this venue. There is a casual dining area and bar downstairs. The building clearly is historic and exudes old gold country charm. We found out about the prix-fix Sunday menu upstairs and decided to give it a try. The staff was fantastic and Chef Garrett really delivered. 5 courses on a mainly seafood theme, All delicious and gracefully presented. I dont normally do wine pairings but glad we did. Pleasantly surprised in sleepy Nevada city, bravo.

Our team had an event here. It t was amazing! The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious. And we loved the feel of the place! Special shout out to Megan who put the experience over the top with hospitality!

The Stone House was the perfect venue for my husband and I to get married. We were looking for a dark and moody vibe, and how much darker and moodier can you get than a tavern and a cave? Since we booked the venue in September 2022 for our October 2023 wedding, the staff was very communicative and soothed my worries resulting from previous reviews. I want to be clear that management has changed from a few years ago so things are handled differently now. We had one issue regarding our contract with some unexpected charges resulting from a new person drawing up the contract and forgetting to add taxes and service charges, but they were very accommodating and helpful in resolving this. I can honestly say this was the sole issue we experienced. When we learned that Megan Buser was the new event coordinator only a couple months before our wedding, I felt more confident than ever in the planning process following my first conversation with her. Megan wanted to ensure we had the perfect day, and I can honestly say we did. She asked me what I needed, offered to talk during any freak out I may have had as the big day was coming, and helped create a unique and special day for us. Chef Garett Dakan was absolutely wonderful, both on the day we visited for our menu tasting as well as the day of. During our menu tasting, he even came out to introduce himself and see if we had any questions. The food was tasty, seasonal, and creative, and this was echoed by tons of our guests at our wedding and afterward. The morning of the wedding, my bridesmaids and the moms and I got ready in the suite upstairs and Lydia, the manager, brought up some lovely breakfast snacks for us. There were a couple bottles of bubbly waiting for us in the fridge, and we felt so pampered immediately. I can probably go on much longer, I'm sure, but I mostly want to say on behalf of my husband and myself, thank you to Megan and the fantastic staff at Stone House for giving us the most magical wedding we could have asked for. We are so grateful.

We enjoyed dinner at Stone House a few nights ago. We had two starters - the arugula salad with figs and goat cheese and the potatoes bravas. The salad was fresh tasting and delicious. The potatoes were a fairly good version of this tapas staple but could have used more sauce. For our main courses we had the petrale sole meuniere and the plant based lasagna. Both dishes were large servings and seemed to have good quality ingredients, but both were a bit boring. The fish would benefit from a fresher, more tangy presentation (maybe more lemon and capers?) and the lasagna needed more robust flavoring. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall a nice meal and a pleasant experience.

The Stone House is an enigma. Is it a restaurant, an event venue, formal, casual, gourmet, comfort food? A little bit of everything so it's spread kinda thin. The spaces are sometimes mismatched to the activity - I've been in crowded rooms for work events, eating spaces way too big for the ambience, and they could do more with the outdoor space. But it's fun, it's newly opened, they're trying and it's local with a bit of history.

I celebrated a recent milestone birthday at the Stonehouse, booking the cavern for my intimate vegetarian meal. All the food was fabulous, and I was able to work with the chef to create a unique plant-based menu from their offerings. I also booked the upstairs bar, which I was able to transform into my own private dj event with specialty named cocktails. It was a memorable night, in a fabulous historical building in beautiful downtown Nevada city. Highly recommend this very unique space & restaurant as a space for your special events.

Food was amazing, chef Garrett is 5 star talented, even came to our table. He really knows flavor, sauces and how to balance it all with outstanding, fresh, ingredients. I started with asparagus and cashew cream soup which tasted clean and creamy with shaved strips of asparagus and small bits of cashews. My husband ordered the Lemon Thyme Spaetzle (German pasta) for his appetizer and we were blown away by the savory flavor of this dish, unexpectedly over-the-top good. Had brown butter, super fresh Black Trumpet mushrooms that were foraged and Fed Exed to the chef from the Mendocino coast, and a cheese crisp of Parmeson on top. (I would come back just for this dish, order 2 helpings with a glass of wine, and I'm set.) My entrée- the seared scallops, were cooked perfect, with flavor that satisfied a multitude of ecstatic taste buds, balanced by the gentler flavors of the cauliflower puree and parsley cream. My husband had the Buttermilk fried chicken with spicy dipping sauce and found it tenderly cooked with a light, almost tempura like crust. Service from Aaron was great as he exuded enthusiasm and kindness, all while hustling to serve 7 tables. As for the restaurant ambiance, this is where I think it could be elevated to the level of the food if there was better indirect lighting. The old brick and stone architecture is special and should be highlighted with warm spot lighting so the central chandeliers and bar pendants can be turned down. They were a bit glaring and made the large space feel more 'empty' rather than warm.

If you haven't tried The Stone House recently, I highly recommend you check it out! Lydia goes above and beyond to ensure you have an amazing experience. The food is amazing! The ambiance and service is incredible!!

Beautiful space and excellent food. Happy hour is amazing. Servers go above and beyond to welcome. The cave is stunning!

Can't be the food and ambience! A rich history blends with the contemporary providing a pleasant and inviting experience. The chef takes extra care to provide the best ingredient in a New American fashion that feels very farm to table.

This place is ahhhhmazing!! I LOVE the vibe of the space, the decor, the ambiance, the super yummy Magikal elixirs, the super tasty food, the underground cave, the attentive servers... and knowing a lot of the ingredients are grown & harvested fresh from their garden... it's a really special place & I'm super delighted I found it & excited to come back!!

Don't say you're open for dinner till 10 and take a reservation for 9:15 and have my guests show up only to be told that you're closed and the kitchen went home a while ago. Very unprofessional and disappointing.

We went there last night and had great meal. The food was excellent and so fresh. The atmosphere is warm and cozy with all the stone and they have a fireplace in the main dining room. There were many things on the menu that I could have ordered. Not expensive either which was refreshing for food that good. The service was good and friendly. Recommend!

My friends and I ate at stone house earlier this evening and the food was wonderful as always. They cook in high quality healthy oils and have locally sourced food items like the sourdough bread (which is delicious). Everything is very high quality and delicious. Our sever tonight was Shannon and she was wonderful! Thank you for serving amazing food!

Absolutely fantastic venue and staff. Megan was exceptional and vibrant. Made our experience one to remember. We'll definitely be back!

Great atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks. Megan was the best in accommodating! Can't wait to come on back and try more food and cocktails

We stumbled upon this restaurant and were so glad we did! The food was amazing from the appetizers to the main courses and even the deserts! Treat yourself to a delicious night out and visit them! Make sure you go upstairs! Downstairs is more of a bar area, but upstairs has a nice dinner area with a fireplace.

We had a super sweet 40 person wedding at the Stone House last weekend. Megan Buser, the events coordinator, totally took care of us and made sure things were really nice. The whole process was simple, the food was really good, the ambiance and place was really nice, and they took care of all the little requests we had. I would highly recommend! 5 Stars!

We heard that the Stone House had reopened, and had music and other changing entertainment and so we thought we'd give it a try. The. Ambiance, fabulous, Service very slow. It seemed like they were more interested in serving the couples who had ordered the $80 per person wine tasting with hors d'oeuvres. It. took 45 minutes to get our food once ordered, even though the place had only 3 other couples there. There was no entertainment. They only serve alcohol and lemonade, so if you're not a drinker, good luck, I couldn't even get a glass of ice tea and they don't serve coffee. The menu changes. When we went, there were five Dinner entrées. Three of them were fish (I'm allergic to fish oil, so it left me with one of two choices)....My husband ordered the oxtail and I ordered fried chicken. My husband said his was tasty when he finally got it. My chicken was burnt, and I could only eat a little of it. The portions are pretty small, and my husband was so hungry after finishing his meal that he ate the rest of mine despite the condition of the chicken. We left hungry. I'm extremely disappointed. While the space was beautiful, the people lovely....the owner seems to be out touch with the basics that people expect when they go out for dinner. We may return for music, if it is really there, but will not spend our money on the food here..will eat elsewhere and then go to the show.

We had a ~50 person welcome dinner for our wedding at the Stone House this September. The food was amazing, and all of the staff was super nice! Megan Buser, the Events Manager, was incredibly helpful with the planning leading up to the dinner, including sorting out dessert selections and helping us choose wines. We sat in the outside patio, which had a great ambiance, beautiful candles / flower decorations, and a lot of outside space for the kids in the family to run around. Definitely recommend!

What an extraordinary place! The vibe, the service, quality of the food, the attention to detail - just exquisite! Soo satisfied and grateful to have found this gem. The food even comes from their garden and you can taste the vibrance!

What a pleasant surprise! Just happened to drive by and decided on a whim to try this place. A quick glance at the menu at the door peeked our curiosity. Ordered 2 salads: arugula with grilled apricots and goat cheese followed by crab meat rounded out with avocado and grapefruit; both were absolutely amazing. From the plates to share we tried the grilled prawns and meatballs that also had a lovely combination of flavors. The fried chicken was delightful; arguably some of the best we have had. It was well seasoned, had a nice crunch without being overly battered and deliciously moist meat served with mashed potatoes and an arugula salad; a well balanced combo in flavor and texture. Service and atmosphere on the patio were great even with a fully booked event taking place in the restaurant upstairs. Hope to be back some day.

My husband and I got married at the Stone House on May 6th 2023. We ran into a few bumps along the way that I believe could be expected from any venue just starting to get up and running again after COVID. Within the 15-months between the time we booked the venue and our event date, there were several staffing changes that occurred which led to a few miscommunications. Throughout the miscommunications, the owner Jonathan continuously acknowledged our concerns and helped alleviate a lot of the stress. The day of coordinator Nadia, was there to answer my million questions without ever making me feel like a "bridezilla". Jenna, who I believe is the event manager was extremely helpful with ensuring set up began on time and I was squared away to get ready in the bridal suite. With our event being in May, we expected the worst weather possible to be cloudy with a chance of rain. Instead, what we got was absolute downpours almost all day long. Since I planned the whole wedding with the expectation of our ceremony being outside, seeing the likelihood of rain increase more each day leading up to the event added a lot of stress. Just over a week before our wedding I asked Nadia about a backup plan for the ceremony in case it rained and boy did the Stone House impress! I had no idea what an indoor ceremony layout would be since we only ever discussed doing it outdoors but the Stone House staff did an amazing job pulling it off. The ceremony flowed well into cocktail hour and the whole evening went extremely well. The food was delicious and the dance floor was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend doing a plated dinner because the chef did an amazing job with the presentation, even while serving 125 people. Our family and friends keep telling us how much fun they had and that it was the best wedding they've ever been to so thank you Stone House staff for helping make it happen.

This is a five star experience. Service, food, ambiance are all impeccable. We had everything on tbe menu, would highly recommend

The Stone house food was absolutely delicious tonight!!! The rich history and ambiance is amazing!!! The service was fantastic!!! Great place to celebrate a birthday with fresh ends. The only thing that could have made it better...... cloth napkins!

There's this guy upstairs that makes the best Paloma's! Pedro is the man. And Cat is the best!

If I could give zero stars I would. Still arguing with Jonathan and the venue about the cost. He has cashed over $25k from us and is saying the deposit was never paid. We have proof of the cashed checked. Communication was terrible, it took until two weeks prior to the wedding to get the final cost from him but by then we were too close to change anything so we had to continue. We were forced to change chefs three times, the last was due to the Stone House telling us we had to work with their new in house chef. We were promised Michelin star food. The food was not even what we had agreed upon for the menu. We were told that if we did not like it, he would refund us due to all the hassle...that of course never happened and now he is trying to say we did not pay the deposit in which he cashed. The service was beyond terrible. It was to be family style so that it all came out at once and was easy....it came out one small platter at a time and was 5-10 minutes in between plates. Guests were very confused on if more food was coming or not. Butter was being served with no bread! Some tables never received all the food. Service was soo bad the guests found it almost comical. Soo many promises were made and not one of them was followed through on. The stress leading up to the wedding was unreal. I was the most laid-back bride and I couldn't imagine what it would have been like if I had wanted things a certain way. Please do not put yourself through this. I do not wish it upon anyone. Worst part, they washed the patio the day of the wedding. I had guests arrive early, saw them washing the patio and thought, wow that is odd, so they went up the street to a bar to kill time, came back to a soaking wet venue! My dress was mud and soaking wet all the way up the back. My veil, a string behind me dragging the water down the isle. The entire audience gasped when my maid of honor tried to spread my train out at the alter as it was brown with mud. They had the audacity to tell me they did not wash it off and it was from rain. Rain that did not happen the day before as we were there for the rehearsal, and it was perfectly dry. And dry the next morning. Again, I am still living the nightmare, while the building is beautiful, it is not worth any of this. We made the best of it, but none of the issues should have happened. This is only a small portion of what happened! Don't book with them for your own sanity.

We came here for an impressive brunch with Der Luft Gruppe VW Club. We joined the Sweetheart Cruise from Meadow Vista, pit stop in Colfax and ended up at the Stone House. I was impressed with the stone building with a rich history dating back to the mining days. There are underground tunnels that run underneath this building. Upon walking in, we immediately climbed up the wooden stairs, lit with lanterns. The interior is quite impressive with magnificent wood beams and cool lighting. I found out that the place is haunted. They were featured on Ghost Adventures. It's believed that there were several Chinese miners who were killed when the cave collapsed. When we walked upstairs, we were escorted to the dining area, which was already set for our group. There were special brunch menus made especially for us, it was a nice touch. As for our meals, most of us ordered the pulled pork sandwich, it was quite good. I liked the toasted brioche bun. Some complained they would have liked barbecue sauce but it didn't bother me. The fresh cut fries were good too. Now the beef brisket was not as enjoyable. It was quite fatty and tough. The service was ok. Could've been better. I say this because she didn't come around much and had to flag her down, which I hate to do....but only because she never came around. I'm being generous and giving them four stars because the food and service wasn't that bad, I'll come back if I'm in the area again

My fiancé and I took a tour of the Stone House for a possible wedding venue for spring 2023. While it is a beautiful venue, I was extremely disappointed with the complete lack of communication and lack of interest in earning our business. I would warn prospective brides and grooms to be very cautious before booking and making a down payment for this venue. We met the manager Danielle for our tour, who at first came across very professional. She explained that she was new to the Stone House and we really got the impression that she was motivated to make it a great wedding experience. We left the tour loving it and wanted to book with them. Danielle had been pretty responsive to my emails prior to going for a tour of the venue. At the end of our tour, she promised to email me additional information by the end of the next day. She told me to basically "ignore" all the prices on our website and that she would be in touch. I never received anything. I thought maybe she just forgot, so I sent her an email to follow up. I specifically stated that we were interested in seeing if we could work something out with them, and I asked again about one of the dates we had inquired about. Still no response, so a few days later I called Danielle at the number she had given me. She answered the phone and I immediately got the vibe that my call was not welcome. She stated she was out of town on a family emergency but that she would get back to me. I expressed my sympathy and said yes please get back with me when you can. Finally, 2 weeks after our tour I received a reply email. Danielle did not answer any of the questions I had asked her, and still did not provide more specific cost information. I replied again and said thanks, but I still had some questions and re-sent my email following our tour. This was 2 weeks ago and I still never received a response. We looked at this venue over a month ago now, and we still never got the information we wanted. Again, we were very clear that we wanted to see about booking with them. If Danielle was out of a family emergency, I am just unclear why no one else could have filled in and sent me info. There were two other Stone House employees included on the email chain with Danielle. They really missed out on a couple who was very interested and prepared to spend in the range of 20k with them for the venue, food, bar, etc. Something is up with this place if they are not even going to pursue the business of people who repeatedly expressed interest. I don't know if there is something weird going on with the owner, managers, both? We are just glad that we figured out there was an issue before we gave them any money. Again, I would just warn interested couples to proceed with caution.

AVOID AVOID AVOID!!! As someone passionate about the hospitality and customer service industry, it is hard for me to write such a negative review. However, i am doing this as a service to couples looking for a venue. Sure, stone house is beautiful, but these people will STEAL YOUR MONEY. You will not hear back from them in a timely manner, there is no consistency, and when you go to press them about it, suddenly you are a "bridezilla" and are the one at fault. There are plenty of other nice places that are ran with professionalism and integrity. This is not one of them. I see some 5 stars here.....and i'm thinking they are fake....

We reserved the Stone House for our daughters wedding we changed the date and then had to cancel because of COVID. They are not an honest group of people with trying to work with you on refunding any sort of money back. They don't return calls or emails. This is a buyer beware. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone!! We never had a contract that they claimed we did. I truly believe in Karma!!

Finally, a place in Nevada City with fresh seasonal food, an ever changing menu, options for portions and all with a light cuisine nouveau touch. Friendly, non intrusive service and quiet setting.... We shared amazing scallops, salads and steaks. Each dish was a delight and beautifully garnished, often with edible flowers....I wonder what the menu will be next week?
