Stone Fly, Stone Oven Pizza, Markleeville's Newest Eatery.
What can I say. I attended an dining experience at a restaurant tonight I have never had before. Nick Hartzell & Ali Bornstein have hit the sweet spot. After an article in the Record Courier they have been swamped and have handled it perfectly. Their changing menu is the best in any Alpine County restaurant. I was privileged to sample many of their entrees. As a local I would highly recommend Stonefly Restaurant in Markleeville, CA dining there.
