The Stables at Belmont

Our first visit to The Stables was nothing short of extraordinary! We opted for seats at the bar, where Galen delivered impeccable service with a warm, welcoming touch. The bar-top vantage point offered a front-row view of the chefs weaving their culinary magic—a true spectacle. The dishes we savored, from the succulent mussels and pristine oysters to the perfectly crispy duck, were nothing less than phenomenal. As seasoned travelers with a passion for uncovering top-tier dining experiences, we’ve found a gem that has earned its place as our new must-visit spot whenever we’re in Richmond.

I was recommended The Stables by a friend and coworker for my boyfriend’s birthday dinner. Neither of us had ever been, and when asking others who had been how their experience was everyone gave rave reviews, so I decided to give it a shot! I made a reservation a few days prior, and upon arrival we were immediately greeted and taken to our table. The ambiance inside was beautiful! The tables are dark wood set with lit, warm candles, and the walls are tastefully decorated with antique looking paintings. We began with cocktails that came out quickly and were absolutely delicious! We then placed our entire food order and were met with knowledgeable feedback and recommendations by our server that actually saved us a few bucks! Our server, Olivia, also made sure to pace our appetizers so that we could truly enjoy each dish. We had the baby kale and arugula salad and the lamb lollipops to start, followed by the red curry mussels and were absolutely blown away. The mussels were accompanied by a baguette that was replenished for us free of charge. For the main course we shared a perfectly cooked and equally delicious ribeye. When informing our server Olivia that we were celebrating a birthday she surprised us with a champagne toast and a lit candle. Olivia truly went above and beyond for not only us, but each of her tables. She truly made our time at The Stables a fantastic experience. My boyfriend and I are in the industry and can confidently say this is the best meal and dining experience we have both ever had in our lives. We literally have not been able to stop talking about it. I cannot recommend it enough! I’ve already made plans to return for my Mom’s birthday!

I went on a Friday night and sat at the bar. I recommend getting reservations just to be safe but you may get lucky with a bar seat on a busier night. There are plenty of really good vegetarian options but I’ve heard the meat options are outstanding as well. The staff was all so friendly and willing to make recommendations for drinks and plates. This is a perfect spot for a date night, to catch up with friends, or to grab a nice solo dinner and enjoy the chill vibes of the place.

A perfect evening, service was exceptional, drinks were great & fast, food was amazing. I am a steak snob{don't judge} and the cast-iron seared ribeye was tender exactly seasoned & done with the perfect crust sear.

Great first time experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Great selection of wine and expertly crafted cocktails, along with a few beers on tap. Food was outstanding- fresh and flavorful. Olivia and the staff provided excellent service. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Will be returning soon!

I feel like I really wanted to enjoy it more. It is a very quaint and cute place, and I can see the appeal for a cozy date night. The food was good, but nothing blew me away. The mussels lacked seasoning, the shrimp were way over cooked, and visually it wasn’t the most appealing dish. The server was incredibly nice and personable but not one time did they ask how I was enjoying everything. Overall I’d go and try it again, but this time I left wanting more.

We travel all over the country and we are foodies and this is our favorite restaurant in the country! The food is out of this world - so many levels of flavor. Gelan took great care of us! The mussels and duck were amazing 🙌
