Stave and Stable

"Amazing dinner last night. Great drinks and it was awesome that they had a decent mocktail list for my very pregnant wife. I got the Elk which blew me away and my wife had the very delicious duck plate. Two thumbs up."

"My wife and I were so excited to eat here for their 1920s themed “prohibition” New Year’s Eve dinner, and even dressed the part, as recommended on their website. With as high a rating on Google, and seeing as they were running a promotion for the holidays for spend $100 on a gift card, get a free $20 gift card” (more on this later), we purchased $300 worth of gift cards, planning on gifting some, using the bonus towards the meal. The place looked really nice, and the atmosphere was fitting- the back room was a little chilly. We ordered off the menu for the themed evening exclusively, aside from the cocktail my wife had and the deserts. Food- it was good, some dishes were borderline great, but almost everything was under seasoned and needed salt. The oysters Rockefeller were good, but not great- needed salt. My wife got the Chilean Sea-bass, that was $76. She said it was under seasoned and not worth the price for the portion. I got the Veal Escalope with Mushrooms- this would have been really amazing if it were seasoned properly (needed salt)- I felt like this was worth it. My wife got a smoked Manhattan cocktail, that she said was ok, but would never order it again. We got one of each of the deserts that were offered, a crème brûlée (this was very good and worth it) and a poached pumpkin with walnuts I think?… it was good, just not worth $14. When we got the gift cards, we were informed that the promotion ended on December 24th… we let it slide in the restaurant, but inspected their website (where my wife did our reservation and ordered the cards) and we could not find a single place on the entire site that said anything about when the deal ended! I tried to included a screenshot from the site (I have one) but I think the review keeps being taken down for having a website screenshot. The fact that they still have the deal up on their site with no information about when it ended and that they wouldn’t honor it is a huge oversight. I get this is a small place, but if you’re going to run a promotion, you need to be clear about when it’s actually happening and stipulations. We would have never purchased gift cards otherwise and would have just paid cash. We’ll give the remaining gift card as a gift (We used 2 of them that night because the bill was over $200). I was hoping this place would be what the Funky Little Kitchen was, but alas, it fell short. I don’t know that we’ll ever go back. If you’re going to charge this much for a meal, it needs to be that good, and this wasn’t."

"I don't have anything bad to say about Stave and Stable. Their food, service, and atmosphere are top notch. Any even better plus is that they can accommodate people with Celiac by making many things on their menu Gluten free! I love this restaurant and would recommend it to anyone!"

"It was our first time at this restaurant, the atmosphere is very cozy and rustic. Which is surprising giving the exclusivity of the reservations and menu size. I did like it though. They seem to only have one server that works the whole room, takes orders, makes the mixed drinks and delivers the food. for all that she did, she was very quick and was prompt on taking food orders. We got lobster bisque and mushroom bisque for our appetizers and for the main course we got elk chops and seafood medley with risotto. First time trying elk, it tasted very similar to steak but the seasoning they put on it was amazing. Highly recommend. The seafood medley was also cooked to perfection, both the scallops and crab had a good buttery texture. Compliments to the kitchen for knowing how to cook seafood perfectly. We had a great time, I'm surprised that a place like this exists in Pottstown. Also this is not the type of restaurant to bring children We will be back! Highly recommend!"

"We enjoyed an evening here for a friend's birthday. Great, cozy atmosphere. Delicious drinks and food! Perfect for a fancy meal without the kids! Small menu with exquisite choices. Made to order. Enjoy the time with friends and family. Side note: *the lock for the bathroom door is under the handle"
