I went to the cornerstone music venue twice last weekend for the first time and was very pleased with it as a venue. The restaurant and backyard outdoor area offer a nice ambience, and the music venue is cozy, has great sound, lighting and visuals and the service staff everywhere were really friendly and helpful. We decided to eat at the restaurant for convenience before the music and that was where it lost a star. The food is very mediocre at best. I got the grilled cheese and they literally used that plastic Kraft American cheese on a thick soft bread that didn't have enough substance to get crunchy on the outside--which is part of the point of grilled cheese isn't it? They need to use a sharp cheddar and thinner cut bread. As it was, I found it totally inedible and not worth the calories so I left it on the plate. The grilled brussels sprouts were very undercooked and crunchy--dissatisfying. The olives were okay, but they were all pitted, which makes them all taste the same and way softer. The sweet potato fries were good but they were served with ketchup which I only use for regular fries. Luckily, I did have a white ranch sauce from the Brussels sprouts which worked. A couple friends ordered different salads that were pretty good, so in conclusion, if I'm going to eat there for convenience again, I'd get a salad.
