Service was pleasant and quick and the dining room is of course beautiful. Though the portions were generous, the quality of the food was not what you'd expect for the price. The fries arrived cold and the croissant tasted stale. We could see from our table that the food was set out on the counter for quite a bit before it was brought to us. For a restaurant attached to the Biltmore House (literally and figuratively) we were expecting a much higher quality experience. Though the setting is novel, the dining experience itself was absolutely not worth it. Some of the people in our party had come before and sadly said they felt the same way last time so it didn't seem to be a one off :(

The stable is really cool inside. The menu doesn't have a lot of flexibility if you have any dietary restrictions but it does indicate options if you do. Wound up doing a flight and fries. Also the health rating was 92.5 - a bit concerning, especially on the Biltmore property.

Grabbed a quick dinner before the Biltmore house tour. The food was good but overpriced. Our server was okay. It was listed we had a birthday that evening and she made no mention of it or had our dessert decorated for the occasion. The hosts said Happy Birthday upon check in but she couldn't be bothered.

Outrageously expensive for dinner! The restaurant was overcrowded and our server, who was very nice, rushed us through the meal. The food was decent and convenient to the main house.

What a disappointment. We both ordered the $95 Filet Mignon Prix Fixe meal. Although the steaks were cooked appropriately (well done and medium), one was barely warm, and the other one was cold. The Lobster Butter placed on top did not even melt. We complained, and ultimately the price of one meal was removed from the bill. When dessert came (the butter pecan cake) it was cold and it seemed it was days old. Very hard to cut and tasted a bit stale. We were very disappointed, as previous dining experiences there were very good. For the $95 price point, I would have expected that it would be top notch food, not lukewarm food, devoid of almost any flavor. We will not be returning.

The restaurant was nice, but we would not go back. The staff were very friendly, kind, and warm. However, the food was bland, cold, and not worth the price. We value fine dining, and expect the quality of the food to match the price of it. We went to the candle light three course dinner - we ordered the charcuterie board appetizer, and it took almost 30 minutes to come out. Which was ok at first because the three courses included a salad. However, our dinner arrived less than 5 minutes after the charcuterie board so there was no time to eat it. We took bites of our dinner and not only was it already cold, it was bland. The mushroom risotto had no flavor, and the short ribs were overpowered by cold grits underneath. The desserts were tiny and cold when brought to us, very underwhelming. It was a nice atmosphere for Christmas at the biltmore, but it is not a place I can recommend.

Our server Norington was great! He treated us like we were millionaires ourselves. The food, as always, was excellent.

Our Server was excellent and the Duck was superior. Beautiful interesting environment in old horse stable. Busy Thanksgiving weekend but service was not at all affected. Will return.

Just a nice extra when visiting the Biltmore. Great to be dining in a stable! Have eaten here numerous times and always pleased. Our server Donna gets 10 stars!

The service was fabulous! The food was fabulous! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Biltmore!
Our server Ira was great. He said the burger was great and it was! Thanks for an enjoyable, relaxing lunch!

Fun to have lunch here while touring the chateau. The roasted chicken meal was pure comfort food. Very professional wait staff.
Brenda
Our server was great! Just the right mix of friendly and professional. There were 5 in our party. Each ordered something different and all the dishes were delicious but especially the shrimp and grits. The sampler platter is easily enough for two to share! Our overall experience was exceptional!

This restrauant is darling and makes you feel even more immersed in the Vanderbilt life after the house tour. The food was delcious and not a terrible price. We went at lunch and made a reservation a month prior to our visit and waited a minute for our table to be ready, which was amazing. Our service was helpful and not overbearing. We over all had a great experience and I will definitly eat here again!

The atmosphere at the café was very pleasant. We had an exceptionally friendly waitress named Jackie, who served us both times we visited. The food was excellent — we highly recommend the chicken salad sandwich and the pork sandwich. The Buckeye Peanut Butter Mousse Bar was absolutely fantastic and a must-try! We also sampled the red velvet cake, which was just okay compared to the other items. Prices were reasonable and in line with what you’d expect at a tourist-area restaurant.
