"This review reminds me of a Date- \nStock & Stable being a really Hot Guy you've heard some positive things about and he definitely Looks intriguing, but upon Actually going out with the guy you realize he's really nothing substantial under the surface!! And dang it you really wanted to like him!!\nSuch is the case with Stock & Stable. Heard raves but the minute I stepped in the door it began to under impress. Hostesses were lackluster in their welcome while I stood waiting for a table to clear they made no effort to engage in conversation. The atmosphere was cool and had interesting details but you need to be able to hear your conversation. The restaurant isn't very well designed for buffering the noise- like a garage, the noise may not be bad when it's quiet but it was Friday so it was difficult to hear each other across our table! \nThe food was interesting...most lacking the punch of what I have experienced elsewhere. Nice presentation on some meals but again nothing that Wowed me! I guess I may have been more excited about the experience if our server would have been more passionate about the menu and making his suggestions. Our meals weren't disappointing or bad but in this area restaurant competition is Tough and this establishment just isn't on point- perhaps they are still finding their groove. The pasta we shared was lovely but left my tastebuds disinterested. My Cuban sandwich was pleasant enough with the sweet pickle for contrast. My fianc\u00E9 had a burger that looks wonderful but it was greasy. My cocktail was delicious though. \nAgain, genuinely bummed that we didn't hit it out of the park in this one cause I was super excited to check it out for Date Nights! With so many other interesting places to try I just don't know if I will be going back because we both left thinking...Marginal. And what's up with no Salt & Pepper?? We chuckled that maybe that would have Saved this review...our Tastebuds need coffee to wake up from their nap. \nAlso, servers- you are an important factor of the evening! Your guidance, passion for the food and welcoming pleasant manner can determine the evening for customers. Perhaps if you were more engaging I would have enjoyed the evening more who knows??\nIf you follow my reviews you will see I'm usually very generous with stars- and I wanna be kind but 2 was all I could give 3 just seemed over generous."^^ . .
