Stable DC Washington - Buy Reservations

I had a belated birthday celebration at Stable with three friends in one of their chalets and we had such a wonderful time. The chalet was cute and we had plenty of space though I will say, it was a bit chilly. Luckily, there was a blanket there that I used on my back to keep warm. I had called the day before and ordered the raclette experience for us. Right from the start you have the raclette warmer on the table with all the tools. The meal starts with a mixed green salad and bread (the bread is seriously good), and we opted to add on the Brussels sprouts and a salami. Both items were good but, honestly, we probably could have skipped them. After the starters, the plate of cheese came out along with a sack (literally) of potatoes, pearled onions, a pickled onion salad and gerkins. Each person individually melts a slice of cheese on their tray and then uses the scraper to put it all of the aforementioned goodies. We put some butter on the top of the heater and grilled up the potatoes, which I highly recommend. We also utilized the bread we already had on the table. Everyone was delicious and it was easy and fun to do. It's bottomless and we thought that there was no way we'd want more of anything....but then suddenly we needed a second round and the owner came over and made sure that we were replenished. I forgot to say that we also had a great bottle of red one and two of my friends enjoyed the gluwhein (mulled wine). When we could eat no more....we ordered dessert and the chocolate mousse was the perfect amount of sweet. We each had a few bites to round out the meal. I'd love to come back to try the fondue. The restaurant is so warm and inviting and their hospitality takes it over the top.

Had lunch here on a Saturday in a party of four. We had a reservation and I'd say reservations definitely required.

Fondu was good, as was the small sausage appetizer. I'd like if there were meat options as part of the main fondu dish. Many fresh pastries and bread available and they looked delicious, though I cannot comment on the taste as we didn't try one.

Staff was courteous and attentive. Tables inside and outside. Prices a little high.

Recommended.

The fondue is tasty but only comes with bread - getting other sides is extra (and you can't get a mix of them - like a side of a bowl of potatoes or a bowl of apples or a bowl of pickles) and would have liked more variety. We purchased some extra - the apples and potatoes - the potatoes were a little hard and completely flavorless (needed some salt in my opinion) - still tasted too plain even in the cheese. The table is a little small to not feel cramped. Overall, it was a good experience but we probably won't go back. For dinner in the $$$ range, I would expect to leave with a fully satisfied belly!

Wonderful experience - attention to detail, professionalism, patience and kindness. The manager and the executive chef both came by customers' tables and periodically checked in to make sure everything was ok and to answer any questions. The food is great, authentic and of high quality. It's great to discover a piece of Switzerland in DC. The outside seating was adequately heated (they provided blankets and body-level heaters, not heat lamps suspended far away from customers, like at other restaurants, for which you have to stand every few minutes to feel the heat) Two minor minuses: they had us down (inexplicably) as having reserved the Raclette experience (must be reserved 24 h in advance), which we hadn't done, and the only female server that evening was a little slow and forgetful (e.g. we had asked to see a dessert menu when we placed our meal orders, but she never brought it out. We pulled it up on our phones, and when she took our plates away and asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu, we told her we had found it on our own after waiting for it in vain. Her demeanor changed a little after that, so clearly she could do with more training.). We will be back, it's a nice place!

The fondue was incredible. We got all of the sides and had no regrets. Warning that the restaurant closes on weekends 2-5 PM, so if you have a 2 PM reservation like us then you can't hang out beyond your 2 hour suggested limit. Our server was awesome about this, though. The drinks were great too. I can't wait to come back and enjoy more of their food and bring the family!

Food ordered was pretty good, though the brunch menu is a bit limited. Our service was dismal.We had reserved an indoor 'chalet' for some safety and privacy, and that concept is very nice: a little wooden cubicle with a drape type doorway. Our server was completely uninterested in being helpful. Couldn't answer basic question like what the cheese of the day was. Left for long period of times after we requested things, etc.

If you're looking for a good fondue place, look no further! We ordered the traditional and pear fondue (which did have a subtle sweet pear flavor). They come with bread but you can order extra things to dip into your fondue for a small additional price (ex: potato, apple slices, etc). We also ordered the Vol-au-vent which was essentially chicken dumplings in a puff pastry - this was tasty but a little bland and the portion was small. I would personally stick to the fondue, and I've heard the raclette is a good order as well, definitely trying this one out next time.They have cute little ski chalets in the back of the restaurant which is great for covid (like a private room)! They also come with blankets too if you tend to get cold like me :)
