Reviews for Stone Soup Bistro

My wife was sick with a cold so I thought that I would surprise her with a bowl of soup. I went over to order the food and parked in a 15 minute zone at the library. The waiter took my order, from there it was down hill!! Ordering just soup and a salad I thought I would be out in about 5 minutes, not so. It took them more than 20 minutes to get my order. Another customer walked in and the waiter kept telling her that he could help her in a minute (3 times). Looking at my watch after 15 minutes she just walked out. They were as slow as I have ever seen in a restaurant. They kept taking food out to other customers that had waited at least 10 minutes or longer. If you want to eat there I would suggest calling in your order or plan to be there for awhile before you are served. Under $10.00? About 95% of the items on the menu is $9.50 very expensive for what you get. To add insult they told me to wait outside in the lobby of the library. Bad mistake on their part, a couple of would be customers came and I told them to expect to wait at least 20 minutes. They left I felt as a second class person! Yes,I am white, 70 year old male. When my food was ready it took another 5 minutes for them to give it to me. All in all I was there for a good 30 minutes!. When I told my wife where I went to get her soup she told me that she also had the same experiences on a couple of occasions. I am not one to write bad reviews, but if this keeps one person from going there it was worth me taking my time. Maybe the owner will see this and change their ways.

While I've visited Stone Soup Bistro once before, when the owner was on duty, that was a pleasant experience, but today's was NOT.

I was so excited to see that Cheddar Soup w/braught & beer would be on the menu. I even called around 1:15 to make sure they still had soup left. Isn't "soup" already made and kept hot? A meal was delivered to me by accident, and then removed and delivered to another table. I found that I waited 20 minutes for a bowl of soup with bread. This was "after" the lunch crowd. I then had to eat quickly. I'm sure the food is "good" but the service today was "terrible"! The kitchen staff need to be "friendlier" by greeting customers, because customers don't know whether to sit down and "wait" or go to the counter and order. We're already waiting for the "food", so I hate to think how long we would have to "wait" to simply order the food. I was very disappointed!
