The food & attentiveness of the staff was excellent.
For me, at 125+ per cover, there are a couple of obvious shortfalls.
1. The decor is much closer to corner bar than fine dining. Don't get me wrong, I can see where they were going but it doesn't work. Unless it's bbq, I prefer not to be seated at a homemade picnic table.
2. The glass divider between the kitchen and bar area looked like it was cleaned w/ a dirty mop.
We would go back.

We’re recent transplants f/ KOP area. Normally for fine dining we stick with Eddy V’s. That being said, we’re in Lower Pottsgrove, so driving up the KOP is not necessarily practical. My hubby and I are looking for local fine dinning. We went to the Blue Elephant & that was bad (see my review). My hubby opted to try Stave & Stable for our Valentine’s dinner. Regarding the ambiance- it’s cute, quirky & cosy with friendly staff. Alcoholic drinks- did not deliver. I had “the lime & the coconut” - no coconut flavor at all. My hubby had the “smoked vanilla Manhattan” which according to my hubby tasted like bitters and not bourbon. Appetizers- the escargot tasted like just oil. Not garlicy or buttery. The Foie gras was cooked well, but sauce tasted like watered down balsamic. Main course- great presentation, but overall not good. The duck dish came with a chutney that overpowered the entire dish. My biggest gripe was the wagyu NY strip steak which was the worse wagyu steak I’ve ever had. It almost seems like meat was old. All I can say is that it was extremely dry (the last word anyone would think of to describe wagyu meat) and cooked unevenly. One side was medium & the rest of it was close to but not the medium rare I requested. The mash potatoes were also a bit on the dry side and the veggies felt like an afterthought. In summary & unfortunately, not a memorable experience.

Absolutely amazing experience. My husband and I save this restaurant for special occasions for two reasons. 1. The price is steep but so worth it! 2. It's more than a meal it's an experience. It's like walking into a different world in the middle of Pottstown. The food is truly out of this world and they are able to accommodate allergies and sensitivities. The menu is never quite the same. Though they have a few staples each time we've been, there has been a surprise special dish or suprise menu entirely. The drinks are great too!! 😄

We had a vey nice dinner at Stave & Stable. The exterior is well lit and welcoming, and the inside is cozy. Our server Annette greeted us promptly, was informative, and attentive throughout the meal. Great customer service. The menu is not your run of the mill offerings. We had foie gras and dayboat scallops as appetizers; main course risotto and championship duck, and for dessert creme brulee and crepe dessert. The food was good and the dessert was yummy. I like that they did not skimp on the portion of each course. The cocktails were unusual (thank you Annette!), but we did enjoy the spiced pineapple mojito and the mango jalepeno margarita. I think the menu price points are set a bit high for Pottstown, but overall it was a nice evening.

We absolutely love going to Stave & Stable. Whether it’s a special wine or bourbon pairing event, tapas night, or a “regular night out” for dinner. They have a variety of starters, entrees, and desserts that are delicious and presented beautifully. The cocktails (& mocktails) are all made from scratch, and their wine selection complements their menu options beautifully. The intimate and welcoming atmosphere makes Stave and Stable a treasure right here in Pottstown, and we find every excuse we can to return for another unforgettable fine dining experience.

Dining room and service was lovely. Cocktail and wine list had many options. Food was fussy overpriced and overcooked ( duck breast/ halibut) Filet was nicely prepared. Overall underwhelming for price point
Great dinner and experience, loved the cocktails and cheese board! The Rosemary chicken was very good, and we got a nice explanation of what all the cheeses were on the cheese board -so interesting!

A couple months back we went to Stave and Stable to celebrate my stepdad's birthday, and I'm deeply disappointed--not just by the experience, but by the complete lack of response from the restaurant after we reached out multiple times. We emailed the restaurant within the week after our visit, followed up 10 days later, and even sent a message through Facebook, which we could see was read but still ignored. This is completely unacceptable.
I would consider checking Yelp as well, as their rating is a full star lower on there then it is on here.
Our family reserved a table for 14, excited to enjoy what was advertised as locally sourced, high-quality cuts of meat. Steak is my stepdad's favorite, so this seemed like the perfect place for his celebration. While the atmosphere was cozy and our server kept our drinks filled, the food left a lot to be desired--particularly the "Wagyu" steaks, which were absolutely horrendous.
The Wagyu sirloin served to myself and others was tough, stringy, and far below the standard of what anyone would expect from premium beef. My girlfriend's steak was especially awful--she struggled to cut through it and eventually had to spit it out because it was so chewy. She left the entire steak on her plate, yet our server didn't even acknowledge it when clearing the table. It was glaringly obvious just by looking at the steak that something was wrong with its quality. Several others in our group had similar complaints but chose not to speak up at the time to avoid dampening the celebratory mood.
Another guest ordered the duck, expecting it to be cooked medium-rare, but it arrived overdone. Like the steak, it was removed from the table without a word or inquiry from the server.
The only positive notes from the evening were the soup, bread, and the correct doneness of the steaks--but those small wins don't make up for the glaring issue: the quality of the meat was simply unacceptable. For a restaurant that markets itself on premium meats, serving such poor-quality Wagyu is misleading and disappointing, especially at a price point that left our bill just shy of $2,000.
The lack of response to our concerns only adds insult to injury. We tried to address this directly with the restaurant through email and social media, but no one has bothered to reply. Ignoring paying customers--especially those willing to spend money on what was supposed to be a premium dining experience--is unacceptable.
I wouldn't recommend Stave and Stable to anyone who values quality, transparency, or basic customer service.

It’s far from fine dining. No white table cloths to be advertised as such. The table was crooked and too close from other tables that people could hear us and we could hear them. A very strong smell of chlorine cleaners came from the kitchen while we were still on the table eating. That was a nice way to “kick us out”. The service was kind and proper. The food was good, but not great. I would not come back for dinner, but I would come back for tapas and drinks only. Not worth $400 experience. That’s the price of a Michelin start restaurant overseas where at least the service will pour your water and you will have an experience. I hope they improve if they want to continue advertise as fine dining.
