Profile

Warm, stylish Stone Park Café offers further proof that Park Slope is wearing its crown as borough restaurant champ with rakish aplomb. The clean lines of this restaurant's cuisine match the graceful sway of the room with its exposed brick, shiny wood floors, mint colored walls, fancy sconces and garage-sized windows. Stone Park Café delivers concentrated pleasures—dishes snagged on a global safari— that move with the seasons. Standbys are tweaked just enough to make them interesting: Pan seared bluefish cakes have a mellower flavor than its crab brethren and a steak sandwich tastes almost braised and comes on flat bread rather than the standard wrestle-ready long roll. This is the kind of place every neighborhood should have: good for a hotsy-totsy date, a low-key business dinner, a birthday celebration with friends or just a night away from the home stove. — Caryn Brooks

Pan-seared bluefish cakes, $12; chocolate brioche pudding, $9

I started going to Stone Park over a year ago and have been about ten times since then. I actually have to force my self to branch out and try other places. The menu is creative but doesn't try too hard, and execution is consistently excellent. The wine list is not extensive, but is well-chosen. This is by far my favorite restaurant in Park Slope and I highly recommend it.

And they even botched our reservation...

I don't know why this place is so well loved. I went for the prix-fixe, but was so impressed with the choices on the menu that I went all out. What a mistake. Why bother putting shrimp in the polenta when the ham overpowers the entire dish? Why even order the sea scallops when a fist of spicy sausage makes the scallops disappear on your palate? By the time I got to the lime mousse I knew not to even eat the hard chocolate crisp or blueberry compote, if I did I would never have tasted the lime. The "accents" on every dish I tasted here (I went with a group of 4) completely drowned out the actual item ordered. I walked away completely disappointed. Message to the chef--Let the soloist sing! Don't drown her!
