    Nice, but nothing great. Service was adequate. Very busy and was definitely convenient to The Biltmore Estate tour.

    Lovely experience for our 2nd visit to the Stable Cafe. Enjoyed a leisurely lunch with a precious server. Unruly children at the next table was a bit of a frustration but that isn’t the restaurants fault.

    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.
