Co-founder of Colleyville restaurant stepping down after six years
After nearly six years of creating memorable dining experiences at Colleyville restaurant Stone House, co-founder Lisa Pardo said she was stepping away from the restaurant Thursday, July 31.
The decision, shared in a heartfelt message on Stone House’s Facebook page, comes as Pardo begins what she says is a “new chapter centered on family, reflection and rest.”
Lisa Pardo and her late husband, Paul, began their journey with Stone House in August 2019, when they started remodeling the stone house on the corner of Colleyville Boulevard. Pardo said the transformation of the restaurant took “blood, sweat and tears” as they tuned it into the restaurant it is today.
They had a vision, grounded in faith and community, which turned the restaurant into a go-to spot for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and heartfelt gatherings for Colleyville community members.
The Pardo family was no stranger to the restaurant business. Lisa and Paul both brought years of restaurant experience to the Stone House.
Following Paul’s death in September 2021, Lisa Pardo continued to carry their shared dream forward. Now, Pardo said she is stepping back to focus on time with family, The restaurant isn’t going anywhere; “Stone House and its amazing team will remain,” Pardo wrote.
“I love this community and have truly loved sharing this place with all of you! God Bless,” Pardo wrote in her farewell message.
