We’ve been going to the Biltmore for years and every trip we eat at The Stables. This year as usual, the service was spot on! However, what has happened with the portions and food quality? I can remember when the sampler was enough for 2 people to eat & actually served on a gorgeous platter showcasing the food. The tin plate that was brought to us was so mediocre, especially for the price! The potatoes for our chicken were also so overdone. We did not complain as it appears this is the standard now. But if def makes me rethink the food choice.

Exceptional service - from host stand to service - smooth sailing. Lovely cool clean building with old iron stables that you are literally in while you eat - and its very classy. They took the time to renovate it and spared no expense to ensure guest comfort. We were seated quickly, we were greeted promptly, and while you know the biltmore has 1000s of people in every direction -we felt like we were getting prompt and warmly directed service. I live in Asheville and have visited the house or grounds 100x over the last 50ish years - my first time in Stable Cafe and looking forward to my next visit which wont be long since I bring visitors here when they're travelling from out of town - will be sure to include Stable Cafe as part of the house and garden tour.
