This was our first time here and it was excellent. The grilled baguette, beet and burrata salad, and the duck breast were all amazing. The cocktails were perfectly made and the service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

Delicious food, fabulous cocktails, and friendly service

We had a great
birthday celebration and enjoyed a wonderful variety of small plates and entrees. Would highly recommend The Stables.

Great experience. Great food, especially desert.

Everything was fantastic. My special good needs were easily accommodated. And Tim, our waiter, was excellent. Thanks so much. The lamb done two ways was superb!

Amazing as always!!

Food was excellent. A little pricey especially the wine. But overall a great restaurant.

First time trying this restaurant. Make a reservation. Great place for date night or group of friends.

The staff were warm and supportive, including welcoming our children. They made our special night out even more special!

Great food. Subpar cocktails. The vegan crabcakes were surprisingly delicious—artichoke and chickpeas had great texture and flavor. The pork belly roulade was fabulous with the collard greens and cornbread making great sides. Wife had the cioppino which was basically a bouquet of shellfish in a delicious seafood broth. She ate it all up as did I. The black beauty lacked the balance I look for in a good cocktail. Probly my personal taste but I thought it was too sweet on the lavender syrup. Don’t worry tho—they make a mean bourbon and ginger!

Craft cocktails, imported French bread and the food are all top notch. We haven’t had a bad experience yet.

We have dined at The Stables several times. They’re a fabulous small business that goes above and beyond any expectations I could have. Back in December three of us dined there that evening. My mother was visiting from Chicago and we knew she’d love it. Not that her meal was bad, believe me it was not. However I thought it pricey for the portion size. I had mentioned it in my review on Open Table. I can’t tell you how amazed I was. They wanted to make it right and reached out to me privately. This NEVER EVER happens, especially in 2020. Friday evening we dined there like several times before. Not only did they make our dining experience fabulous, the chef also made a stop by the table to check on us. We had decided we were not going to ask about the credit behind the bar. No need to, this meal was delicious. The chef insisted HE needed to make things good. We’ll definitely be back. My tagliatelle that night was out of this world. Touché to THE STABLES and their fine staff.

This was our second visit - the first was a while back when they first opened. Very happy to say they are just as consistent with the quality of their food and their service now as they were back then. The food was incredible. We had to place a second order of the lamb lollipop appetizer as it was so delish - as were the scallops and the shrimp and grits appetizer. For the main course we had the duck breast and the roasted chicken. Both melt in you mouth tender and juicy. I feel bad to admit the name of our server escapes me but she was so personable and we appreciated how she enhanced our experience altogether. Definitely book a reservation here if you haven’t already, you will not be disappointed!!

Anniversary

We love the small private rooms - great for a small group.

Njoined ourselves. Would visit again next time we are in Richmond.

Tiny spot with a big personality! Food was fabulous and the surroundings unique...

Wonderful restaurant...great service. I called ahead to order a special Birthday dessert and they pulled it off effortlessly. The atmosphere leads one to believe that you really are in a stable. Food was delicious and healthy. I would guess that they probably use local produce. Crab Bisque was outstanding and every bite was loaded with crab meat. Just an overall fantastic place to dine!

You must try the buffalo cauliflower! That alone will keep you coming back.

Terrific as usual! The food was surpassed only by our server, Kathryn! The Stables continues to be one of my very favorite restaurants in RVA!

Consistently excellent food, cocktails and service at good prices.

Excellent food and service. Good balance between rustic and elegant. Opens early which helped for pre theatre.

The service was very attentive and helpful. Food was absolutely delicious. The scallops and mussels and duck and the other 5 courses I engulfed went down like a fresh baby mouse in the cage of a starving snake. 10/10 recommend

This was for a special occasion and Stables provided a private room for a seating of six. It was a perfect setting. The service was excellent, the cocktails were creative and tasty, and the food was well-prepared, innovative, and very good. I would certainly return.

This is the third time we've been there. It is fabulous! I look forward to going again!

Outstanding food. Flexible kitchen. Great service. Nice wine selection.

Sables is always my first choice when dining in the Museum District. The food is always excellent. The intimate back room (located on the front of the building) is perfect!

Always delicious and always interesting choices. The chef is amazing. Wait staff is awesome.

This resto always delivers, our fave go-to whenever we have out-of-towners.

Fantastic, again

Always a superb dining experience with The Stables. Highest quality ingredients, creatively prepared and beautifully plated by Chef Evan and his fantastic staff. Consistently wonderful!!!!

Very friendly welcome and service, creative cocktails, fantastic menu!

Very impressive fun restaurant

Wonderful food and great service and extremely helpful bartender. Will be back next weekend

Always a pleasure going to the stables. Who doesn’t like the lamb lollipops? And the drinks are creative and great.

This was our first time at The Stables. We were there for a private family memorial of our parents who had just died the week before, so we wanted a place that had an intimate feel and understanding service. The Stables was absolutely perfect. The ambiance was intimate, yet busy enough so that our laughing and crying were not disruptive to other tables (I hope!). The wait staff could not have been better! They were there when we needed them, but also gave us space. The food was delicious and interesting. The drinks came quickly from the bar. The bartender even made up a drink for my sister in law when she just asked for something “fruity”.
We had a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend this restaurant for any special occasion or date night.

Very enjoyable evening. Great meal, service and overall experience.

Fantastic place! We love the food and service!

Stables has a unique menu and an interesting presentation of dishes. We always enjoy going there because of the fine dining options.

The lamb chop special was pathetic. To charge the price and have absolutely no meat after the meal. Shameful. How disappointed we were. We always have had excellent food and service. So disappointed
