TLDR: We didn't finish our shared entre and they somehow got ahold of my email address.

My wife and I were on our way to Zippy's for dinner and passed Stone House, and on a whim, we decided to stop here instead. It was a bit before 8pm on a Sunday. There were about 20 patrons dining on the patio. The hostess greeted us by saying that they close in three minutes so they can t serve us any alcohol or we could place an order to go.

We were a bit confused and said we could go somewhere else if they weren t seating for dinner. The hostess replied by saying that she could seat us inside or outside. So we sat outside after confirming an additional time that they were actually still seating for dinner as long as we didn t order alcohol. We opted to split an entre of the chicken fried steak; the menu described it as coming with steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes.



I paid with my debit card and left. The majority of the patrons that were there when we initially arrived were still dining. When we got home, I had an email from Stone House asking for feedback. At no time during our visit did I give the venue my email address. I haven t ever had any other establishment send me an email after using my debit card and I m honestly not sure if this is a new attribute to my bank or not. Either way, getting an email from somebody who I never gave it to is creepy.

Overall, it was a socially uncomfortable experience with bland food that was too rich to eat. We should ve just stuck with the original plan and followed through with Zippy s.
