i will start off by saying that the caliber of the food is phenomenal, full stop, without exaggeration. the food quality alone would have me coming back for another experience. the staff were all welcoming and we never felt rushed (the point for many, i assume); it felt as though we were welcomed into someone’s home for a very intimate experience. however, there was significant lag time between courses (30+ minutes) and this exaggerated to me the small portion sizes (which only took about a minute to eat and enjoy). i think the experience would have benefited from shorter wait times between courses and a better flow of getting the food out. in the end, regardless of how amazing the food was, i was still hungry by the time we left, which for me is the mark of a tasting menu that is not fully optimized. it was also notable that after the opportunity for cocktails and the chance to add wine pairings, the ability to order another full drink off menu was not easy; the wait staff were honed in on their tasks, and we were certainly never asked outright if we wanted other drinks. i found this a bit odd and grating by the end of the night.

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience from start to finish. There is such an attention to detail. The atmosphere is elegantly rustic, the service is well-paced and perfectly choreographed, and the food is exquisite. Chef Carl and Nancy couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. We left feeling like we had made two new friends. We look forward to coming back. Bella Ciao, Chef Carl!

Every detail of our dinner at Stone Soup Cottage was carefully curated. The team (since they work all together) was amazing, could not have been more accommodating and kind. The cocktails and food were out of this world. We don’t typically go for French cuisine (we went to the Spring in Paris dinner series) but this farm to table meal was unforgettable!

Food is amazing! I have had the fortunate experience of eating here on three occasions. The most recent one did make me wonder if I will be back. Don’t get me wrong, the food is SO amazing. However, we did not end up doing the wine pairings this time, and realized that because of that, service was compromised and left us a little wanting from the time we arrived all the way through the 3-hr meal.On arrival 30 min before the dinner, we had to go find someone to see if we could get a pre-dinner drink. The owner apologized and served us directly, which was nice… but we took this drink into the dining room for dinner and were NEVER asked again if we wanted more… there were 4 of us! And this was through an entire 3-hr meal. We each separately had to chase down servers to get a second drink.In hindsight this seems kind of petty, but with an experience like Stone Soup, I expected them to be a little more on top of service. The owners were on par with serving meals and asking how it was.. but having to chase down people to see if we could have a second drink left our party a little wanting. It made me wonder if a fourth trip was in our future. ??♀️

1 of the best experiences you'll ever have with food. The best experience I've had personally. We've been a few times now. You'll taste flavors you never get to.

It is a full evening experience. Plan on a few hours for dinner. No rushing through this meal. You get to take your time and enjoy every course. My husband and I have not spent that much time together talking in a long time. We celebrated our 33 wedding anniversary. It was a relaxing evening.

In a country filled with delicious food and wine, Stone Soup Cottage exceeds all restaurants we’ve tried. Chef Carl’s food is beyond delicious and is so beautifully presented. His wife, Nancy, the Cottage’s sommelier, pairs the perfect wine with each course, and her cocktails are also delicious. All this and the charming Cottage nestled on a beautiful farm, with their talented family members assisting with exceptional service. We’ve enjoyed SSC many times, and we look forward to many more times to come.

Chef Carl & Nancy curated an exquisite coursed dinner experience that is second to none in the area. We felt welcomed by the staff, tasted outstanding dishes, and enjoyed every moment of our time there. Each month, Chef changes the menu based on seasonal themes and availability. The October autumn harvest selections did not disappoint; the brûléed sweet potato tartlet and salad was a personal favorite. Bravo! Cannot wait to return.
