The Stone House at Clove Lakes

What The Stone House at Clove Lakes does

The Stone House at Clove Lakes is a privately-held fine dining restaurant and event venue located on a private island within Clove Lakes Park in Staten Island, New York. The restaurant operates under an agreement with the NYC Parks Department, which owns the underlying land. It offers full-service upscale American steakhouse dining featuring Prime Beef (both aged and non-aged), seafood, and contemporary American cuisine across lunch, brunch, dinner, and happy hour service, seven days a week. A premium sub-experience, the Chef's Loft, provides an exclusive 16-20 seat tasting menu prepared tableside by Chef/Owner Peter Botros on Saturday nights with monthly-rotating menus and wine pairings.

The business generates revenue across five distinct streams: dine-in restaurant service, private events and weddings (across three venue spaces — Fireplace Room up to 60 guests, Lake View Atrium up to 65, and Lakeside Patio up to 150), off-premise catering with customizable menus, physical gift cards in $50-$250 denominations, and the Chef's Loft tasting experience. Pricing is unit-based (pay-as-you-go), with dinner entrees ranging from $38 to $79, A5 Wagyu priced at $26 per ounce, and specialty prix fixe options such as the Valentine's Day couple's dinner at $149.

The restaurant is owned and operated by Peter Botros, who acquired the former Lake Club in October 2014 and rebranded it as The Stone House. Botros is also the founding partner of the Bread & Butter Hospitality restaurant group, which operates multiple Staten Island dining concepts. The venue markets through its website (thestonehousesi.com), OpenTable for reservations, Eventbrite for festival ticketing, and earned media via customer reviews and testimonials. Technology adoption is limited to standard restaurant operations with OpenTable integration and Eventbrite for event management; no proprietary technology, API, mobile app, or AI/ML capabilities are present.
