Stables Restaurant Review
I’m reviewing a restaurant; hell has frozen over, folks. Okay, anyway, Stables is a semi-high end semi-formal establishment in Terre Haute, Indiana with the theme that each booth is basically a horse stable. Made me feel very horse-like indeed. The food, I either loved more than my mother or hated more than, I don’t know, someone I hate a lot, I guess. Then again, I’ll only return for the stuff I liked, no? Let’s get into it.
For my appetizer, my and my beautiful date got lobster bites with some sort of dip that reminded me of soy sauce. The sauce I hated with a burning passion. The lobster bites were alright. Unoffensive. Not great, either. I would have preferred meat. Why? Well, because I’m a man, damnit. Just kidding, lobster is technically meat, just not the meatiest meat one can meat if you get me.
My entrée was a petite filet mignon (they called it “petite” but that thing was bigger than my fist), mashed potatoes with cheese, as well as some rice. I didn’t touch the rice. I didn’t have the time. I was too busy destroying that piece of meat and bowl of taters. Absolute pure American glory. I’ve never felt more full. More good in my big ole belly. Perfection on every front. No notes. Just give it to me every day for the rest of my hypothetically short life.
Now it’s time for dessert. I had, uhm, crème brulee. I think I spelled that right, it’s not like I’m into writing and should know better or anything. It was great, but I couldn’t finish it thanks to the remainder of the filet mignon still sitting in my stomach, unchewed. Very sweet, but I didn’t expect anything different.
Also, our waiters were great. I like to be a complete hooligan and make a fool of myself at places like Stables by asking waiters very fun meta questions, such as, “what’s your annual income?” Just kidding, but I do joke around with waiters, and at Stables they were very nice and cool as heck. Very fun people while still remaining professional. A good median.
All in all, I had a great experience and would definitely go again, if not in the near future then definitely later, as it is a tad pricey. Anyway, here are my ratings:
Service- 9/10
Food- 9/10
Atmosphere- Horse/10
Date w/ gf- 10/10
