Perched within the leafy surrounds of Barnwell Park Golf Club, yet entirely its own destination, Stone Restaurant brings together the comfort of a neighbourhood favourite with the sophistication of Modern Australian dining.
Overlooking calm waters and rolling greens, it’s a place where relaxed Sundays, golden-hour drinks and long lunches all find their natural rhythm.
Where Casual Meets Refined
At Stone, the experience is all about balance - approachable yet elegant, warm yet confident. The space feels less like a golf club restaurant and more like a hidden gem of the Inner West, where locals gather for good food, live music and a laid-back sense of style.
With open interiors and breezy bayside views, Stone sets the tone for dining that’s as effortless as it is memorable.
A Must-try Dish: Sunday Family Roast
Ask any local and they’ll tell you - the Sunday Family Roast is a ritual worth repeating. Served shared-style, it celebrates the heart of communal dining: slow-roasted meat, seasonal vegetables, rich duck fat potatoes and silky housemade gravy. It’s a meal that brings everyone to the table - hearty, comforting and full of flavour.
Outside of Sundays, signature dishes like the rigatoni with 8-hour braised beef ragu and pan-seared lemon sole showcase what Stone does best: honest food, done exceptionally well. Each dish is simple, seasonal and rooted in quality - proof that refinement doesn’t need to shout to be felt.
Sip This: A Toast to Local Spirit
The drinks list mirrors the menu’s easy sophistication. From crisp local wines and classic cocktails to a refreshing post-golf Spritz, the bar is designed for lingering. Friday nights see the space come alive with live sets from local legend Joe Zappia, while midweek trivia hosted by Wonder Mama adds a dash of fun to the week.
Dining, Your Way
What truly sets Stone apart is its sense of welcome. It’s the kind of restaurant where families gather, friends reconnect and business lunches turn into leisurely conversations. Whether you’re here for a casual meal or a special celebration, the mood always feels just right - unfussy, genuine and full of heart.
A Venue with a Secret
Many don’t realise that Stone is open to everyone - no membership, no dress code, no need to sign in. Despite its location within Barnwell Park Golf Club, this is a public dining haven, open to all who appreciate good food and good company. The venue also carries a quiet history, built upon reclaimed mangrove land that has transformed into one of the Inner West’s most serene waterfront spots.
The Heart of the Inner West
Stone’s philosophy is simple: good food brings people together. It’s a restaurant that belongs as much to its community as to its setting - approachable, elegant and unmistakably local.
Whether for a family roast, sunset cocktail, or midweek catch-up, Stone invites diners to slow down, savour the moment and rediscover what neighbourhood dining should feel like.
