"Excellent menu and daily specials. We had halibut, salmon, crab cakes amongst us; all were delicious and they allowed subs on the sides. Parker was as good as any waiter I have enjoyed in 60 years of social and business dining during extensive travel. One negative....they charge an exorbitant credit card fee so we used cash. Please, don't stoop so low at such a fine restaurant; build the charges into your costs at the cost incurred rather than padding the bottom line."

"Disappointing. We were told Stonewalls was the place in Banner Elk to get a good steak. Unfortunately my husbands ribeye $35) was anything but good. The steak was so gristly, every bite was not worth fighting to get it chewed besides more fat than expected. We called our waitress Hope over to tell her how bad the steak was. She then said she had to speak to the manager Scott. She came back telling us he said all the steaks have the gristle. We told her the whole steak was unedible. She went back to the manager Scott and he came to our table . I was done with my dinner so he said he could bring a slice of prime rib. The slice he brought could not have been 4 oz, if that. The check still had the $35 charge for the ribeye that was sent back , we asked why wasn’t the bill reduced to show the less expensive meal. We had to ask to see Scott again and tell him why are we paying for something we didn’t get. He wasn’t very friendly but lowered the price to a 10 oz prime rib $28) the piece of prime rib was smaller than their least expensive 6oz $25) . Certainly not the actions of a good manager. We do have to say that Hope was an excellent server. And meal wasn’t a total loss as the fried deviled eggs , French onion soup and lobster bisque were good. The salad bar was fine. The mashed sweet potato and brussel sprouts were ok. Needless to say we do not feel the need to return to Stonewall in the future.

"No no no no no no no. I can't tell you how the good food is if you order and eat in the restaurant but with the large group of 12 that we had there were not any accommodating tables so we did takeout. I have never seen food prepared and thrown into silver take out trays that tasted so disgusting in my life. Again maybe it was because we took it out and there wasn't as much care given as there was no fear the food would be returned to the kitchen. It's been a year later and we still have never returned and probably will not."

"The service is fantastic. The food is mediocre at best, but they charge as though it is great. If the prices aligned with the quality of the food, I'd have given them another star. It was a disappointing experience for my entire family... Then, they substantially overcharged my card for more than twice the correct amount, which did get sorted out but not until the next day. $103 for three people for dinner and an appetizer. No alcohol. Not a bad price for GOOD Italian food, but it was just okay."

"Fine dining depending on your definition. We booked a reservation to celebrate my husband's birthday on a Saturday evening. The menu looked fantastic so we were excited to try it. We arrived about 15 min early, but then waited quite a while past our reservation time for a table. Meanwhile, we sat in the lobby and could hear their live singer, along with a quite rowdy crowd. Don't get me wrong the singer is quite talented. But the others participating in the drunk singalong? not so much. It was too loud in the lobby to hear conversation and it would have been impossible to enjoy our meal as a family in the wedding reception with people we don't know vibe. After the long wait for our table, we asked the hostess to please seat us in Sorrento's which she did (it was almost 9pm before we got drinks. Grateful for the Italian comfort food but it was not the fine dining experience I had hoped for on my husband's birthday."
