Today is a quiet, chilly Tuesday in early March. It was like having the house, and restaurant, to ourselves. It was wonderful. Service was warm and friendly, as always. Never had a bad experience at the Stable Cafe, even when it’s super busy.

Both of us ordered the Stable Burger. One was burned to a tough consistency and one charred, both grilled far too much. Cole slaw and mashed potatoes were very good. Coffee was excellent, as was the Biltmore Pinot Grigio. Dessert (cream cheese/apple crisp tart) should have been warmed slightly-it was very cold. Service was very good, showing a pleasant demeanor, with attentiveness and responding well to our requests.

The Stable Cafe is not as good as it used to be. The buns that were used for the barbecue and hamburger were cold. The burger was cooked to the point of being almost crispy. The tomato bisque was very spicy. In general it was not as good as it used to be.
