Spoon and Stable

I enjoy going out to places I have never been before but typically I do not visit places like Spoon and Stable but this was for a birthday event. The service is top notch and the menu though not huge is designed for those more in tune with their pallets and that is not a negative. The pork chop was excellent and the sweet potatoes well lets put it this way I do not normally care for them but was looking for more on my plate. The on tap IPA I enjoyed Phantom Bride was easily worth more than $7 dollars a glass. Had this been a place more suited to my personality I would have easily given it 5 stars but genetics have me more comfortable at a burger and pizza joint, my loss but enjoyed my experience non the less.

This place can be wonderful and it can be underwhelming. I had a fantastic meal and service on Friday night and decided to come back on Saturday. My service was not good at all, the pot roast we were served had a lot of gristle and fat, noticeably more so than the other order we received. I asked the server to replace it and he gave me attitude and a somewhat condescending response. He said that the pot roast was literally two steaks held together which isn’t accurate, the cut is actually a short rib. I just smiled politely and again asked for another order. He finally said yes but that we would just be receiving the same thing. (No, the replacement order was a much nicer cut of short rib). I cook short ribs often and sometimes pieces are more meaty than others and I didn’t appreciate the attempt to mansplain the situation. So we could have done without that exchange and it made the rest of our meal stressful. Service at the bar dining area on Friday night was outstanding and our server was amazing and went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. Great service really makes all the difference here. The younger girl at the front of house was lovely.

I came here for brunch when visiting Minneapolis- and I can’t wait to come back! I highly recommend the quiche and the crepe cake, but the whole menu looked phone one all. Our service was great, and the restaurant itself is beautiful! Highly recommend!

Fantastic Sunday Brunch! Our party of five enjoyed delicious pastries, omelettes, quiche, and biscuits & gravy. Service was prompt and professional. Great atmosphere too. Highly recommend!

Great vibe on a busy Sunday night. Innovative menu, professional and attentive staff. We will be back! Slight issue with hostess, who was corrected by a more senior staff member. (That first impression role is important, otherwise it would have been 5 stars. )
