About Sandstone & Co Cafe & Restaurant

Sandstone & Co nails unhurried, multi-generational dining with generous plates and space where people can actually hear each other converse. Long family lunches run smoothly inside the bright dining room, while the dog-friendly outdoor courtyard keeps kids occupied around the cubby house. Weeknights shift gears with rotating dinner specials—most notably Tuesday's towering buffalo chicken parmi paired with tap beer and house gravy, or the Thursday eye fillet with blue cheese sauce. Gluten-free diners are properly taken care of too, right down to dedicated breadcrumbs on the schnitzel.

  • Rotating Nightly Specials: Tuesday parmi specials, Thursday eye fillets, and Friday multi-course menus keep weeknight dinners hearty and wallet-friendly.
  • Seniors Lunch Menu: A dedicated seniors menu features full-sized classic mains and desserts at accessible lunch pricing.
  • Kid- and Dog-Friendly Courtyard: Enclosed outdoor seating features dog water bowls and a children's cubby house for easy family visits.
