Stone's Cove Kitbar - Herndon

Why bother taking reservations if you’re not going to honor them??? Made a reservation for standard seating. Our table was given to someone else that didn’t have a reservation. We were told that we would have to wait 20 minutes unless we wanted to sit at the bar to eat. Staff was very cavalier about it and didn’t seem to care much that we were unhappy and not willing to sit at the bar. I guess we will never know if the food here is any good…but the service was a non starter.

My fish tacos were great. My friend ordered several things and unfortunately the corn on the cob had green mold on it so we sent it back. The server said on the bill it was comped but it wasn’t. It was simply returned and nothing ordered to replace it. And the hostess did not record that I checked in even though I told I reserved through OT. I had to prove I was there by providing specific details from mr receipt concerning server, table number and total spent. This was my first time back since Covid so I was a bit disappointed. Prior visits were always fantastic. Karen

I wanted to sit at a table but was advised I’d be better sat at one of the kitchen-side seats as the service would be more responsive. Wasn’t what I wanted but it honestly worked out okay. The service was still a little spotty as the staff are working hard at cooking and making drinks as well as serving. It’s all part of the overall concept and so it’s fine as long as you are okay with that style of service. The food was really good and the star of the show. A somewhat deconstructed Crab Bisque that tasted great, three good sized Chicken Tacos with excellent flavour, and a huge slice of extremely good and moist Carrot Cake. Well-made drinks from the bar complemented the meal. Overall a very good experience and I would definitely return.

This has been our go-to place when picking up and dropping off our grandsons at IAD. Really good food and lovely staff! We’ll be back…

Bit slow on service but not bad at all. We return time after time as this is one of our favorite restaurants. Four different entrees ordered and all were a hit! Love the Pear Flower Martini.
