    Wonderful experience as usual. I love the farm to table aspect. The salad greens are just incredible and grown on the estate. Our server was a true delight. Always a good experience. We have been going for years!

    The Stable Burger is a hearty two patty burger with all the fixins and the 1/2 Chicken w/brussels is a lot of food. The salmon is delicious and while the grits are tasty, it is a strange combo with the fish and tomato gravy. My husband liked the Apple Cream Cheese Tart.

    Food is well overpriced for the quality. I have eaten at some wonderful restaurants recently where the food was much fresher and better then what we were served here, and paid less for it. I would expect better from a property that produces it's own food. Perhaps a lot less than I thought is actually from Biltmore. I haven't eaten at the Stables for years, typically preferring to eat somewhere at Antler Hill Village, or at the Inn at Biltmore, I think I will continue to skip the Stables in favor of those other choices on property.

    The food here was much better than I expected for a tourist site restaurant. We really enjoyed the chicken and pulled pork.

    Our food was served cold even though we was the first there. Our waitress was very sweet but the poor food will be the reason we won’t go back.
