Going to Stoney River was a no-brainer when my friend Zoa invited me to join her. We're on a mission to try new places and even though this restaurant is attached to Towson Town Center and has been open for only a few weeks, it was on the list and worth it! I managed to do a little holiday shopping until Zoa arrived which was a bonus for me. We met inside in the bar area where we waited for our table to be available. The bartender got us drinks, and a server, Justin S., gave us a rundown of what we could expect. We planned to give some "free passes" for uneven service, figuring there would still be kinks to be worked out. Instead, we were wowed by friendly, eager to please servers who did a great job fulfilling all our needs. Dorothy never missed a beat making us glad we were seated in her section. As I looked around the room, it was hard to believe we were even near a mall. The atmosphere was relaxing and calm with what Zoa called a sort of upscale LLBean decor. Funny. I started with the New England Lobster Bisque; it was excellent. Zoa got a tangy caesar salad and then it was "on to the entrees". We shared the 7 oz. Coffee-Cured Filet and the Horseradish-Encrusted Swordfish. We both agreed the steak was "the winner", and rightly so in a steakhouse. My favorite of our vegetables was the au gratin potatoes. We were too filled to try dessert even though I noticed there were two chocolate offerings which are always inviting to me. After dinner, we went outside to the valet parking area to get Zoa's car. It's reasonably priced and a great idea if you don't want to drive endlessly around a parking lot. Our mission was accomplished and we were delighted that it was so enjoyable.Stoney River Legendary Steaks
