Delicious food - especially the dessert! So I'll start off by saying that I am a food snob... I know a lot of people say that, but seriously, I am. I lived in LA and dined at a 2-Michelin star french restaurant (based on when LA was a Michelin city). I'm almost certain they would have obtained their third star if Michelin was still there. I've also dined at a Michelin star restaurant in France, which was AMAZING. So, I kind of hold my French foods to a higher standard. Therefore, I was super excited when I read about Spoon and Stable's chef being a James Beard nominee as we moved to this great state 10 months ago and have been relatively deprived of good food (we don't live in the cities). First of all, I couldn't get a reservation because of poor planning on my part. So definitely try to plan ahead. With that being said, I went to the cities with a plan! I showed up close to 5pm hoping to get a table. We ended up being able to eat at a table that was in the bar area that served the full menu. This area was busy, as it was the bar. The waiter seemed to be more focused on a larger party than my husband and I. Nevertheless, we managed to get his attention at times when we needed. We ordered the non-alcoholic horchata and Palmer. The horchata was pretty good, but nothing that I needed more of. The Palmer tasted like straight up cough syrup. For appetizers we ordered arancini and foie gras. The arancini were delicious. My husband spent time in Sicily and has had authentic arancini. He said they were good, but not the same. The foie gras was good, but the actual taste of the foie gras was masked and muddled with the other ingredients. Still tasty, but let's just say the foie gras wouldn't be the reason I would return. For entrees we had the pea fusilli and the tamarind glazed pork. The pea fusilli was delicious and we liked how the meat was portioned so that you got some with every bite. The pork was savory and the portion was hefty, but after a while, it started tasting like very moist and flavorful barbecue chicken! It was still very tasty, but almost mind boggling. Now for the pièce de résistance! The dessert is definitely the reason I would return. We had the valrhona chocolate tart with the sourdough ice cream and the solar and honey cream cake. So the best think about the chocolate dessert was the sourdough ice cream. It is just so interesting and complex that you want to keep eating it. The honey cream cake was the best thing I ate all night! I recommend that to everyone who goes there. There were so many components and textures that played so well with each other. I loved every bit of it. I could've ordered that over and over for apps, entrees, and dessert until I was full. GET IT! In summary, if we were living in Minnesota a little longer, I would definitely dine here again, but unfortunately, our days are numbered to a couple of months. This is a great place for a special occasion or an upscale food adventure (the latter is what we were up to that day). read more

After reading reviews and hearing from another friend on how awesome (and trendy) this place is, my friends and I decided to take the plunge and make reservations! Well, that was two plus months ago. That's typically how long you will need to wait if you want reservations for dinner and that was a shorter wait as we picked a evening during the week and originally choose a later time of 7:30 pm. We did find it a bit interesting how the night before, they confirmed or reservation for 8:00 without asking. We just went with it. I do recommend just paying for the valet parking because parking sucks in that location and it's the same price for the parking lot that was nearby but was small and full. Okay, now to the service and food! The service was completely excellent! Very friendly and not overbearing as we pondered a bit over what to order. The servers also have an art of clearing away all the dishes in one shot! Everything we drank and ate was superb except the raviolo al uovo. That was not very tasty and the Swiss chard over powered all the other flavors. We tried three different mock drinks (the grapefuit, cheery, and pomegranate ones) and they were great! We also shared the smoked wild mushrooms, creamy spinach with cheese curds, crispy potatoes, and dry boat scallop crudo, autumn vegetable salad, and the grilled swordfish. All these were excellent in taste and presentation! For dessert, we shared the toasted coconut parfait, honey and cream cake, & crème fraîche cheesecake. All tasty but I liked the toasted coconut parfait the best! read more

Highly recommend this place. Had Day Boat Scallop Crudo (green apple, shiso, chilies scallion vinaigrette). This was soooo good. Scallop was very good in quality and loved shiso with it. If you like scallop. You should get this. Had duck breast for main course. I love duck breast and they prepared it very well. Medium rare, juicy, not chewy, not too fatty. Just perfect. I was too full for dessert. :-( read more

This was a sensational experience from start to finish. Nicole was the consummate server and explained each dish and was so enthusiastic about the food it made us want to taste everything. The standouts were definitely the corn Angelotti and the bison. If we were living in Minneapolis we would be at this restaurant at least twice a month. We cannot wait to return and hopefully sit at the chef's table when Gavin is cooking. read more

The attention to detail by Marco was exceptional. Entree was great. Pot roast for the win. Enough said.

It was my wife's birthday and we had a two month old baby with us. The accommodations we received were memorable alone. The food was delicious and the open kitchen brought us right into the action. The service was attentive, timely and warm. Even with the hum of the place lively and bustling we quickly visited when needed. From Drinks to Deserts we were thrilled at every turn. * Grilled Baby Beets + Oysters * DRY-AGED DUCK BREAST * LAMB TWO WAYS * HONEY AND CREAM CAKE * TORONTO & ROUGE read more

We've been here a few times since we live in the North Loop, and I've gotta say, we always leave wishing that it were better than it was. It's not that anything is particularly bad, but I just think the menu is a little disappointing. The ambiance is 5/5, service is 5/5 (if a little rushed, though to be fair the space is on the smaller side, so I can imagine that turn over is important), food is 3.5/5. The drinks are fantastic, however, and their gin and tonic deserves special recognition. TL;DR: Great ambiance, food is a little meh, drinks are excellent. read more

This place is a neighborhood gem and absolutely amazing in every way. My boyfriend and I were in town and stopped here one evening for a night cap. The drinks were so good and the service great, so we decided to go back the next morning for morning cocktails and a few light bites. We sat at the bar and the bartender, Sam, was fantastic, and even made drinks from their evening menu as there were a few from the night before that we saw but didn't try. He was attentive but laid back. And the food.. it sounds dramatic but as soon as we bit into the freshly baked pastries (and I'm not a a "sweets" person at all) - we felt euphoric. I really don't know the last time I ate food and it didn't just taste good but was truly so pleasurable and brought about happiness like that. (I promise we were still sober so it was not a result of the drinks!). The rhubarb pastry was not overly sweet at all and the pastry was light and fluffy but also had a little crispiness/crunch. We also tried the goat cheese and onion tart which we loved. We ordered another of each to go, and eagerly ate those on our flight home. We couldn't hold back! The sides of asparagus and cauliflower were also very good. I loved the combination of flavors in each dish, and they went great with the goat cheese and onion pastry. We also liked the history of the building (use to be a stable for horses) and the exposed brick wall. We sat at the bar during both visits and really liked the ambiance there.. it seemed like it would feel a bit big and empty in the main dining area. Truly phenomenal spot and definitely worth checking out.. many times! read more

I've been dying to try this place for a while. I didn't want the first time to be takeout during the pandemic, so we were so excited to get a spot once they opened up! The service is top notch. The decor is beautiful. The food is incredible. I had the lobster gnocchi and I seriously could have had 5 plates of it. I will definitely be back over and over! read more

We went here for brunch a few times. Aesthetically it is a very cool set up and the food is fabulous. I have never been disappointed, this place is wonderful. read more

Nothing shy of fabulous in every sense of the word! Service, food, decor are all excellent!

What an incredible brunch. The pick-out-your-pastry routine was kitschy but so fun. We ended up with an excellent (if a bit overfilled) pistachio croissant and a pumpernickel salmon bun. The pumpernickel bun was one of the better things I've eaten this year. We then ordered the schnitzel per our waiters recommendation and man, was it good too. The chestnut (I think) crust was incredible along with the mustard and cornichons and everything else on the plate. The overly salty creamed spinach was meh, but also an over-the-top addition to our meal that we shouldn't have ordered in first place. Please eat here. It's wonderful. read more

Spoon and Stable - Pumpernickel bun is to die for - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

This is our go-to special occasion restaurant. Everything is impeccable, from the airy decor and the knowledgeable waitstaff to the thoughtful menu and those tiny deserts you get after your meal. Eating at Spoon and Stable is not just dinner, its a dining EXPERIENCE. I had the best duck breast of my life here, paired perfectly with a wine suggested by our server. Make a reservation far ahead of time, or shoot for earlier in the evening if you want to make an impromptu appearance. Or get there early and snag a seat at the bar, which is first come first served. They sometimes have late-night ramen starting at 10pm. Yum! read more

My husband Matt B. and I went to the Twin Cities for a wedding at the end of August. As it was our first time in the state, we decided to maximize our trip by squeezing in an early Sunday dinner before flying home to California. Since it was our only dinner apart from wedding events, we wanted to hit a fun restaurant with great food and a strong local reputation. We booked a table at Spoon & Stable on the recommendation of my friend J. Ryan S., a Minnesota native who literally wrote a book called The Kitchens of the Great Midwest (which you all should really read). It seems we were lucky to get a same-day reservation--the 5:00 slot, which was the only one that worked with our schedule, was also the only one available. The restaurant was wonderful in every way. The sun was still out, but the place was already bustling. The dining room was gorgeous--modern and elegant, cheerful and warm, with a spotless open kitchen. Our server Adam was an excellent host, friendly and helpful. There was nothing stuffy about our dinner, but the service was super detailed and attentive. Spoon & Stable is the kind of restaurant where you go pee and come back to an artfully folded napkin. We had a lovely table right by a giant wine fridge, but we decided to drink cocktails with our meal. These were superb. The Bee Sting was sweet, spicy, and refreshing, a mix of Altos Plata tequila, Del Maguey Vida mezcal, honey, peppers, and lime. The house Old Fashioned was a nice twist on the classic, a smooth, balanced drink made with Plantation Grande Reserve--a rum aged in bourbon casks--roasted pineapple, and Angostura bitters. The best one we had, though, was the daily special, a cocktail of Torres Spanish brandy with Fernet, demerara, and Corazon bitters, which were sort of like mole bitters. Cool, herbal, and boozy--worth asking after, if you're into trying great cocktails. The food was equally impressive. The complimentary bread was ridiculous, climbing knots of whole wheat sourdough epi baguette, crusty and fresh, served with lush, flavorful Hope Creamery butter. We started with soup and two half portions of pasta, and these were all delicious. The chilled corn soup was light and summery, not too rich, but with a pleasant velvety texture. It came with sweet Biscayne Bay crab, cantaloupe, cherry tomato, and a bit of habanero. The pastas would've made great entrees as well, but we liked being able to taste two of them and still have room to indulge further. The ricotta cavatelli was remarkably satisfying, the pasta just the right density, served in a saucy preparation with 'nduja salami, heirloom tomato, pecorino toscano, and basil. The sweet corn agnolotti were pretty little pasta packets bursting with corn flavor, served with black garlic, lovage, meaty chanterelle mushrooms, and unctuous hunks of foie gras. For our main course, we had rainbow trout and dry-aged duck breast, and both were impeccable, perfectly cooked. The trout was delicate and full of flavor, served skin on in a crawfish nage with lobster mushroom, fennel, and dragon tongue beans. The dry-aged duck breast was a tender medium rare lacquered with sauce, served with swiss chard, radish, preserved cherries, and anise hyssop. The duck was juicy, and each accompaniment added a new dimension to the dish. We had a flight to catch, but managed to squeeze in dessert--Adam helped expedite the pacing. It was worth the trouble. The frozen grapefruit parfait was fun and refreshing, served in a hollowed grapefruit rind with ginger ice cream and candied cashews. The honey and cream cake was just manna for a sweet tooth, the spongey cake soaked with milk, served with strawberries, crunchy bits of meringue, and sweetened condensed milk ice cream. We got a few final treats with the check--mini blueberry macarons, hazelnut confit caramels, and red currant apple cider vinegar pates de fruits, all delightful. I was extraordinarily pleased with this meal. Even crammed in before the airport, the experience was luxurious and relaxing, with top notch service, atmosphere, food, and drink. If you're looking for a great restaurant in the Twin Cities, you can stop now and book a table at Spoon & Stable. read more

My first time here and it definitely won't be the last. The restaurant has a great look. I really like the open kitchen concept. The drink menu is extensive. Had a great birthday bourbon. For appetizer I had the sweet corn gazpacho. It was out of this world delicious! Big chunks of crab in a great tasting broth. Definitely recommend it. Another in my party had the tomato salad. She said it was amazing and it looked it. For entree I had the halibut. Very good with a nice blend of vegetables and interesting flavors. Finished off the night with a cappuccino and honey and cream cake. The service was spectacular. If you are in the area I definitely recommend this as a must go to for dinner. read more

Stopped in for Sunday brunch. We did not have any reservations but were able to get a table in the area by the bar. The service was warm and friendly. A very nice looking restaurant. The food was good. I enjoyed having brunch here and definitely would like to come back and try dinner here. read more

Spoon and Stable - Crepe cake - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Ambiance was good and service was great. We had a reservation and were early but got seated promptly. Before we sat down a server came to us with a drink menu and she was delightful. The drinks were okay overall. We all got the snap pea salad which was good. I had the Spaghetti Nero which was a disappointment. The dish was overly salted and the seafood was not cleaned properly because there was a lot of gritty bites. The other person at the table had gnocchi which was mushy instead of tender. The other person had the pork chop but I didn't try it. She said she enjoyed it. We all split the creamy spinach and that was the best part of the meal. It was pretty delicious. We tried 3 of the desserts which were actually very good. My friends like the milk chocolate torte while I preferred the cream cake. We also had the poppy seed angel cake which was interesting but a bit too tart. I wasn't too impressed unfortunately - also because the price would have bought more across the street for better quality food... read more

So can I rave about the brunch I had at this place enough? We made our reservations for Spoon and Stable a month in advance, and had to go with Sunday brunch because there was no weekend availability for dinner! Food, decor, service all A+!! Highlights: home cured ham/bacon and a dollop of charred, marshmallow on top of my pumpkin croissant. Check out my photos to see what else we had! read more

Dinner at Spoon and Stable was my birthday surprise this past February and I have been dying to return ever since! The atmosphere and service alone made it a 5-star experience and the food just sent it over the top. This place is definitely worth the hype and my only tip is DO NOT SKIP DESSERT. Everything we had was phenomenal, but the dessert dishes were by far my favorite. They brought out cotton candy as a complimentary birthday treat, which was unique and fun. I don't even like cotton candy but still found myself eating it. Great place for a date night or special occasion. read more

Spoon and Stable - Roasted Halibut - New American Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I was really hoping for this spot to live up to hype but unfortunately it did not. Maybe it was because we went there for brunch. My mom was in town and we wanted to do something special for her birthday and it did not turn out to be a special experience. I was able to get reservations for 5 for Sunday brunch 3-4 days in advance. The decor of the restaurant is very nice. After a brief wait we were seated at our tables. For brunch cocktails we got the Irish Coffee which was just ok. And another one which was quite good. For brunch we got 1. Waffles - good 2. Bison Burger - ok but extremely salty 3. Quiche - good but salty We also got a variety of pastries (4 bucks each) which you can look at before ordering. The kitchen is open so you can see everything happening in there. They were busy and there were several times I had to wave my hand and try and catch the attention of my waitress. She was busy talking to other waitresses. There was no salt / pepper on the table. Asked for hot sauce - it was house made, not hot but good. In the reservation confirmation they asked whether celebrating anything - I clearly mentioned mom's birthday. However there was no mention of this by waitress or other staff. It's the attention to detail that sets good restaurants apart from great restaurants. And unfortunately Spoon and Stable did not live up to the hype for me and my family. read more

I was very excited to try out this place and it met all my expectations. I was skeptical because of reservations and what locals said about wait time, but we went anyways and got seated right away. Service was great and everyone from the hostess to our server was polite and helpful. Or server Ray, explained everything in detail that we didn't understand from the menu and gave us recommendations for food, drinks, and dessert. The environment had a wonderful open feel. Though some of the seating looked crowded or small, I didn't even notice after we sat down. The food and drinks were amazing. You have to try the grilled swordfish. It was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The cooler cocktail was very gentle on my upset stomach from the afternoon and calmed it down. The honey and cream dessert was one of the best desserts I've ever had... I highly recommend this place. read more

AMAZING! We came here for dinner and loved it so much that we came back the next day for brunch! The food was just delicious and the open style space is super cute. I had the quiche for brunch with a side of hash browns and followed it up with the crepe cake. You absolutely NEED the crepe cake. It was so good! My fiancée got the pecan pull apart which looked equally as amazing. They have a bar of all the bakery items so you know it's good. Service was great and I almost wished I lived locally so I could visit more often! Great place! read more

We were referred to here by the Monte Carlo and it did not disappoint, Adam was nice enough to say hello and stop and chat for a few between tables. That's what really makes a great place better is the people you get to socialize with while your there ! Thanks Adam read more

I adore the decor and ambiance at Spoon & Stable. From the moment you step into the door, there's a classy and classic feel that doesn't leave. On a recent visit, we enjoyed attentive service and incredible foods. The portions were hearty, and between two people, we split two side dishes and each got an entree, and it was still too much. The crispy potatoes were perfectly prepared, and my pheasant was tender and flavorful. There was a lot of hype before my visit, so I had high expectations, but I can say that Spoon & Stable met them! read more

Very good place with fine dining experience. Loved the ambience here. We arrived an hour early for our dinner date as we decided to explore the bar area of this place before getting to our meal. We were lucky as we did get a table in the bar section, and we decided to add some appetizers along with our cocktails. Firstly, the cocktails were fantastic. I had the Old Fashioned and my wife got the Penicillin, both were good enough that we went for round 2. Crispy potatoes and Sausage in bun (bawthrust) were amazing. I expected sausage balls, but this is more like a hot dog, however the bread that carries this is so good that it kept me craving for more bread. We moved to our dining table, once the table was ready and like I mentioned, we continued with more drinks, just repeat of the same, as we both were enjoying the mix of alcohol which were bringing back memories from Hawaii. The sourdough bread and their whisked butter, fulfilled my craving for more bread. I ordered the special pasta with chestnut and white truffle on it; and my wife got the Bass fish charcoal grilled, which were made really well. Thanks to our server who explained the special so well, that I felt in love with the pasta dish before it arrived. The filled pasta were little pieces of heaven as they melted in my mouth with each bite. Would love to go back here for special occasions as the ambience is really good and so is the service. There is street parking available right across and around the restaurant. The servers were professional and they definitely know what they are doing. The liquor was great and I don't have enough words for the food, as both me and my wife enjoyed our 5th anniversary dinner date. Since this was a special occasion for us, more so, as it also was my wife's birthday, they got us cotton candy which was totally unexpected but a very sweet and kind act. We also got dessert, honey and cream cake with condensed sweetened milk, which again was really good. The sweetened milk gave an amazing texture with great taste to the honey cake. If you haven't tried this place, please do, it grows on you as everything here is a class act. read more

I had been to Spoon and Stable once before with girlfriends and had a fabulous time eating and drinking. Recently my husband and I went for our anniversary (17 years already!?!). This is a lovely place for such special occasions. The service was amazing. Everyone knew it was our anniversary and congratulated us. We even had a complimentary dessert. We started with drinks and salads. I loved my cocktail but the dressing on my greens was a bit overpowering for my taste. Then I had their famous black pasta. I wanted to like it more than I actually did. It was beautiful to look at - so colorful. But the taste was rather one note and dull. My husband did enjoy his fish but seemed to be still hungry after finishing! The fresh bread filled in the gaps. The dessert was fun if not spectacular - something with marshmallows and sprinkles. So, would come again for another treat but would order differently! read more

Went back to Spoon and Stable tonight. We enjoyed our cocktails -- a gin and tonic and an old fashioned. We had the walleye croquettes. I thought these were a bit heavy and lacking something. The scallop crudo was great. It had a bright citrus sauce that really popped. I loved my venison dish. For dessert we tried the honey tees leches cake which was fantastic. Great decaf coffee. Amazing ambience. A real nice night. Great service read more

I booked a Wednesday 9pm reservation WEEKS ago. Suddenly two days before it was canceled! :-( No calls. No texts. No explanation. Just canceled without contacting me, and of course when I called to rebook, I was annoyed. They just LAUGHED and said "Sorry we have no openings for you." Well you would if you had kept my month-old reservation! I'm only in town for one day & you destroyed my evening plans. SEINFELD: "The problem is you take reservations but you don't HOLD the reservation. And really that's the most important part. ---- Spoon & Stable USED to be a nice place with good customer service. I've gone for years & spent thousands. Now they've grown so arrogant & elitist, they will cancel customer reservations without contacting the customer (and don't mind losing money in the process). They lost over $200 by canceling my dinner. BELLECOUR was the sister restaurant to this place & went out of business due to lack of customers. Spoon will meet the same fate, if it keeps canceling reservations (without informing the customers). RUDENESS is often the downfall of once-great restaurants and stores. read more

Stephanie, Cyreil (forgive me if I spelt it wrong) and Malcom were all so welcoming. I came in at about 10:50pm and they gave such great service. My dinner was great. Was my first time and I'll be back. Thank you. 10/10 read more

I very much consider myself to be a foodie - I enjoy A LOT of nice meals across many cities. And of course, being from NYC, I also think that I have VERY HIGH standards. That said, let me go on record by saying, this is by far the best meal that I have had in a very long time- AMAZING! The foie gras is a must, and the pot roast was... the best I've ever had! read more

Spoon and Stable you are really outstanding, I had a spectacular experience here today. Reasonably priced and quality. I can't recommend Pot Roast more. I feel everybody will like this heavenly food. Workers are extremely welcoming. They're accommodating, well-mannered and always on their game. We will definitely be going back here. read more

We dined with a large (6) person group and each dish ordered did not disappoint. My favorites were the beet salad (I don't usually like beets), the Mafalde, and the Pork chop. Our server, Maggie S was phenomenal. Very professional, and a fun balance of friendly and deadpan (I had to look this up, it's humor delivered in a serious manner). 10/10 would eat at whatever restaurant she worked at. read more

This is the best brunch in the twin cities. I needed a table for 5 but because the only do brunch on Sunday's I had to get a reservation 6 weeks in advance. I can't tell you how glad I am that I made that rezy. Everything was amazing! I had the rhubarb waffles which were light and crispy with a nice heaping of rhubarb on top. Loved that we could order pastries immediately; we tried 5 of them and they were all perfect. Coffee was great. And we topped it off with their crepe cake, which is as flavorful as it is beautiful. If you get a chance to go here for brunch don't ever pass it up! read more

I took my girlfriend to S&S for Valentine's Day. The reservation was $320 and we were both treated to an 8-course meal. They were very accommodating to my girlfriend, a vegetarian. As lovely as the atmosphere, presentation, and even some of the dishes were, I don't really feel it was worth the price. The food was lovely, but mostly "interesting" rather than "good" and "filling." Think Dorsia from American Psycho - "great sea urchin ceviche." I felt like I was largely paying for being there rather than the food itself - after all, it's the hot spot for the Twin Cities, and a few people expressed jealousy when I told them where I was going for V-Day. All in all, I think if I went there again I would mostly be looking forward to the drinks (which were stunningly good) and trying something that wasn't a part of a pre-determined 8-course meal. Something I should add - our waiter was completely awesome. I can't remember his name, unfortunately, but he was an all-star. My only fear was that our tip wasn't enough for him. read more

This place is so amazing. It's really expensive, so get ready for a hit to the wallet, but it's so worth the experience. We opted for a dinner menu that ended up being about 7-8 courses of nothing but tasty, creative and wonderful courses. From a beet salad, to duck, I would have never thought I would enjoy eating those, but the way Spoon and Stable prepared it was beyond words. We had a drink pairing for each and every course and ended it with dessert too. We sat at the kitchen bar seating so we received dinner and a show. It was absolutely unbelievable seeing everything that goes on in a kitchen. The chefs were so kind and warm. It was awesome to get the opportunity to converse with them too. Our waiter got us excited for the course we were going to have and we have never had a more amazing food experience. Ever. read more

Visited here last night with my two best friends. We started off with the bison tartar, a refreshing appetizer that left you wanting to lick the plate clean! We also had the beet salad, as some gal's who had never had beets before, we were pleasantly surprised-- they were very good. We also had truffle risotto balls that were TO DIE FOR. For our mains- I had the pheasant breast, one got the venison, and the other gnocchi. We all cleaned our plates. The presentation was wonderful, and various flavors on the plate complemented each other nicely. We (somehow) still had room for desert, and had ice cream, brownie, and chocolate mouse, followed by cotton candy. The atmosphere was calm, chic, and wonderful. The tables are close together, but we didn't mind. The relaxed atmosphere plays into the pace of the meal. Expect to be given time to savor every bite! Our meal was timed perfectly in my opinion. Overall, I had an incredible dining experience, and I would love to bring other family/friends to Spoon and Stable to enjoy the food, good service, and the atmosphere. read more

Date night and Spoon and Stable did not disappoint. It was our second time here and both visits were amazing. This time we started with the scallop crudo and the burrata dish. I don't recall what Heidi got but I ordered the farfalle with sweet breads and a rabbit ragu. I did the small order and, with the appetizers, it was more than enough food. The desserts are amaze-balls too. Oh, and did I mention the awesome wines by the glass? Well they've got that, as well. Do yourself a favor and go here. read more

I had kind of written off this place when it first opened since the menu was pretty meat-focused and I figured it would be yet another case of missing out on hot new restaurants because there wasn't enough I could eat on the menu. Whether that was right or not when they opened, I'm not sure, but it's definitely not true now. Spoon and Stable now offers a vegetarian menu that could compete with some of the best vegetarian restaurants in NYC. Finally!! The menu was well rounded with seasonal elements. We started with the butternut squash soup and beet salad. Both were delicious. I had actually never eaten cottage cheese (having been disgusted by the look of it from an early age), but I decided to be brave and eat the beet salad as it was described on the menu, homemade cottage cheese and all. It was fantastic and really tied the dish together. We then had the wild rice entrée and the pumpkin gnocchi dish. The gnocchi was light and fluffy with a satisfying sear. I personally found the rest of the dish too salty, but cleaned my plate nonetheless. We also really enjoyed the wild rice dish, which was very comforting and earthy. Definitely try the almond pear cake. It was amazing. And the desserts with the check was also a nice touch. All in all, a very nice experience from the food to service to wine list to ambience. read more
