The Stonehouse at Stirling Ridge is an architectural gem in the style of a spacious California modern rustic lodge. Dining Patrons are attracted to this restaurant mostly for it's ambiance, the high energy, and the motif, and to a lesser extent, for the quality of it's food. The 110 seat, two-level, western style lodge motif is gorgeously nestled among the trees on a ridge in Warren, and the interior done up with stone walls, copper-clad fireplace, wood beams, prominent three level twin glass towers filled with wine bottles, and a 10-seat chef’s table with a window into the kitchen. The bar and lounge are equally dramatic with comfortable couch-like seating for intimate conversations. The bar is stocked with an excellent selection of cocktails and wines by the glass. A huge bowl of olives with attractive little plates accompany you at the cocktail tables. It's a great dining destination for an evening out with a group of friends who come to enjoy a friendly dining atmosphere, good food and drinks, and some live entertainment. The servers dressed black are friendly and attentive. The restaurant is the creation owners Frank and Jeanne Cretella, who also own the waterfront Liberty House in Jersey City’s Liberty State Park. The kitchen is run by Executive Chef Jerry Villa, a CIA graduate. The menu is created with naturally grown ingredients, many of the vegetables and herbs coming from Wagner Farms, a local communal farm, and from Stone House's on-site, organic Dancing Goat Farm. When available, the popular dinner starters are; The Char-grilled Asparagus with olives, roast tomatoes, lemon- shallot vinaigrette; and the Venison Carpaccio with mirco arugula, shaved parmesan, white truffle oil. When available, the popular dinner entrees are; the Pan-Seared Tilapia Fenne with olive sauce, broccoli rabe, fingerling potatoes; the Seared Chilean Sea Bass with baby carrots, bok choy, mei fun noodles, nori seaweed and miso broth; and the Pepper Crusted Sirloin with broccolini, wild mushroom ragout, rosti potatoes, and cognac sauce They are child friendly.
