I must start by saying I am a HUGE fan of this restaurant, this space and the service. I was a tad confused that, despite our early reservation (and only about 9 patrons in the restaurant), we were not able to place our order for about 10 minutes post being seated. Odd. However, once our server did take care of our order everything went smoothly and in line with the high standards of service and enjoyment we've come to expect from the Stables. I mention this as I believe it to be an anomaly, not a feature. I heartily recommend The Stables to anyone who loves great food, great drinks, well paired wine and a convivial atmosphere in a really nice Fan space..

So happy we chose to dine here! Welcoming atmosphere, warm bar area, and cleanliness of dining room was outstanding. Menu is creative and each dish we ordered was not only prepared perfectly, but exceeded our expectations. Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with wine selections. This restaurant is definitely worthy of a return visit. The chef is so creative, that I would have loved to see what would/could have been created as an amuse bouche. Well done.

Service was outstanding. Responsive, knowledgeable, professional and pleasant. Mussels appetizer was finest I’ve ever experienced. Very tender and perfectly prepared. Ribeye was also very flavorful and perfectly cooked with a great quality cut. Waitress was very responsive to our wine tasting that didn’t initially meet what we were looking for and brought us a different wine that worked well. Gearhart Chocalates and lemon cake made for a special night for my special person. Thanks.

Food was good, skip the desserts that didn’t live up to the rest. Kept the dining area kinda cold, several patrons kept their coats on- sadly sucks getting dressed up and not being able to comfortably eat because of the draft. The bathrooms are scary small and sketchy- tarnished the ambience.
