    Food wasn’t bad but not great for their dinner, it seemed a bit more banquet like than what we preffered. The price seemed high for the quality of the food.

    Service was excellent, great atmosphere. Food was not usual Biltmore quality. Hardly warm, turkey was dried out and apple tart dessert tasted like it just came out of the fridge. Unusual experience from this place which is usually top tier.

    The Thanksgiving turkey meal was outstanding! The Brussel Sprouts were mouth-watering. I wish I could get the recipe for them!

    We have been pass holders for over 25 years. Today's lunch at Stable was a disappointment. When you pay $24 dollars for a burger you expect it to be served with a toasted bun, not cold. With a good slice of tomato, not a slice so thin you could read the paper through it! It was very dry and I never tasted the aioli sauce that was supposed to be on it. I had to ask for mayo. Just expected more from a Biltmore Restaurant. Burgers at local breweries are a lot better. We have great memories at Biltmore Estate but this was not one of them.

    This restaurant blew our expectations away. Menu choices are appropriately limited, and the food is exceptional. I mean....WOW level of exceptional. The service couldn't have been better. Very responsive and attentive. The restaurant is inside what was an old Biltmore Estate horse barn. Such a great experience. Honestly, the best restaurant we've been to in Asheville.

    As the name implies, Stable Cafe, the dining room is an old horse stable, very cool, but also very open allowing conversations to flow throughout so not very quiet. The food was very good and our server was very good. This is a 3 course meal where you are given choices for beginnings, entree, and dessert. The food was really good, not superb but good enough I’d return for another visit. I had the duck leg quarter and my husband had the short ribs, both meals were very good. I very seldom rate anything a 5 star leaving that rating for unbelievably excellent and this was a solid 4-4.5 kind of place.
