This has become one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting with background music from Bossa Nova to the Beatles. The ambiance is such that you can linger over your meal and no one minds. They also have a pool table if that is an interest. The menu is mainly made up of pizza and pastas with various salads and a few sandwiches too. My favorite is the artichoke mushroom pasta with spinach leaves, red peppers, and of course, garlic. The wonderful blend of flavors and tastes is what makes Stoneground stand out. The house salad is also good and the house vinaigrette is amazing. They have a large menu so there is always something new to try, or if you're like me, more often than not you fall back on your favorite. The prices are reasonable with dishes averaging between $10-$16. If you're sharing a pizza it ends up being a little bit cheaper. One drawback is sometimes your carefree waiters do not give the best service. I have had varied experiences, some with good service, some 
impeccable, and others disastrous. If you are looking for a fun tranquil experience where you can have good conversation and new flavors, then give Stoneground a try.

They have parking on the west side of the building and also in the back behind the building.

I love this place. Great for a lunch date. The meatball sandwich is really good and the turkey is well ... I love turkey. My only qualm with Stoneground is that they toast all the sandwiches witch can be good sometimes but make it hard to eat other times.
Yum. I agree with Paul. Lunch dates are great here. I really like the barbequed pizza with caramelized onions. Get a table by the window. This restaurant has great view of the main library.
If you've got time, walk over to the main library and wander up to the top. There's a lookout point at the top of the stairs and a small table and chairs alongside a small garden. This can be a great romantic spot.
