I've been wanting to come to this restaurant for a while. A friend told me about it but I just hadn't had the chance until last week. The food was absolutely phenomenal! And the waitress was very confident in answering our questions. We got the appetizer special for the night which was a crock of mac n cheese, I can't describe it much but it was really good! It was garnished with crumbs of some kind which gave it an interesting texture. Then we went on to have the ribeye steak? I don't know, some kind of steak. And I got the pork chop, ordered medium. Our food came out and we tasted it. I just couldn't believe that food this good was right down the block from us! My pork chop could have been a bit tastier. I had it with the french fries and they were good but it also came with a warm tomato and zucchini salad. But it was really juicy. They won't go beyond medium for health reasons. I'm not always a steak person, but I tried the steak. It was so juicy at medium and the sauce was unbelievable. Our waitress told us about the sauce but I wasn't expecting it to be that great. I don't know how traditional the food is at Stove, but it makes for really good Irish food! I haven't had a steak that good in the city. I've had only a few but none that can come close to that one.
Pros: Outside garden during summer, friendly staff and chefs. Comfortable.
Cons: Ambience is okay, hardly any decor. Alright lighting.
