i found that the food and service was really good. Each time I've been there. I plan to go again soon.

I've been here several times for brunch and dinner and I always have a wonderful experience. The food and service are excellent. The ambiance is charming and the food is great! There are vegetarian options. I love the fondue and the onion and cheese quiche. If you are able to reserve a chalet in the back for a party, it is a lot of fun. While the raclette is delicious I prefer the fondue experience.

We came here for a friend's 50th, as she lived in Geneva for 10 years during her childhood, so she was thrilled to see a Swiss restaurant in our area. We were a party of 11, and we were seated at a long table close to the window at the front of the house. Five of us reserved the Raclette Experience in advance so they were seated together around the broiling/warming mechanism on one side of the table. The remaining 6 just ordered other dishes from the menu. First, cocktails. Three of us had the Mafioso, which is a Mezcal and Aperol cocktail, served with a large square ice cube to keep from watering down the drink. We all had a second one of these, since it was excellent! Appetizers. We had two orders of the Roasted Brussels Sprouts which is prepared with bacon, onions, Raclette cheese, and an egg on top! It was phenomenal! And some of us who are new to Raclette got to try some! Highly recommend. One of us had the butternut squash soup, which she said was very good. We also had a cheese and charcuterie board for the group to nosh on, which also came with little cornichon pickles. Main dishes. I ordered the Veal Zurich, which was very good. I've never had a potato rosti before, and it's like a well done potato hash brown as a crust with a mashed potato consistency inside...very tasty and the perfect complement to a veal and mushroom "stew." I also saw red cabbage as a side with other main dishes, so I asked for a side of it myself because I just love it and never see it at restaurants. It was prepared with a cinnamon flavoring so it was more sweet than vinegar tart like other preparations. Our vegetarian/vegan friend had the Roasted Butternut Squash, which she said was very good and she appreciated the addition of quinoa for extra protein to feel satiated. The Raclette experience came with a literal cloth sack of potatoes (to keep them warm), pickles, and pearl onions. Plentiful amount of Raclette cheese slices, but we asked for additional "broiling scoops" (they remind me of little metal dust pans! I have no idea what they're actually called) because it does take time to broil the cheese to perfection and then in two bites you're ready for more. So it was good for each person to have multiple pans going at once. We ordered a bottle of wine for the table, and I had the Tawny Port as an aperitif. We skipped dessert (only because we had birthday cake waiting back at our house). But there were several options on the menu that were calling to me...next time! Service was excellent and our entire group really enjoyed their meal no matter what they ordered. Thank you, Stable, for an excellent evening celebrating our friend!

I was so excited to try Stable dc because I lived in Switzerland as a child. I decided to host my birthday party there. We came with a party of 11 and a long table was set near the front of the restaurant. Five of us signed up for the raclette experience and the rest ordered a la carte. We had a bottle of wine and drinks and appetizers too. The brussles sprouts were delicious. The raclette was awesome. There was a table-top machine for broiling the cheese and a bag of new potatoes that stayed nice and warm. Pearl onions, a yummy onion salad, and cornichons (little pickles) were also available with the raclette. Everyone else raved about the food they ordered and plates were cleaned. Our waiter was attentive without hovering or pestering us. We never felt rushed and had a really nice time. And all told, the price was reasonable for 11 people and all the food and drinks. This little taste of home was just what I wanted for my birthday.

Hung out at the bar because we love to gab with the staff. The fondue is ample and a two-person order was more than enough for four people. The black pepper and garlic balanced out the richness of the cheese and there was more than enough bread to dip all of the melted goodness. Got a side of apples and it helped to balance out the cheese as well. Kind and attentive staff who knew the menu and made sure to check in, but not rush us at any point.

We were seated at the bar while our table was readied: The aromas from the kitchen had my mouth watering! We ordered the fondue with black pepper and garlic, and it was fantastic! The cheese was creamy without getting stringy, and the garlic was a perfect compliment. We also had cornichon pickles which had a great dill flavor, and green salads rounded it out. All the sides can easily serve four people, as we learned. Great music, great food, great company: It was a lovely night!

I wanted to give my family, especially my daughter, a taste of Switzerland, so we decided to head to Stable for dinner. We got there about 30 minutes before our reservation, and the guy who welcomed us was incredibly friendly. He let us know that our table wasn't quite ready yet, so we enjoyed some time at the bar while we waited. When we finally got to our cozy booth, it felt just right--nice and private! We ordered a few things to share: the Famous Stable Wings, Veal Zürich Style, and Belper Knolle Fondue. The wings were a hit! They were seasoned and cooked perfectly, and we all loved them. The fondue, on the other hand, was a bit simple; it was mostly just bread for dipping, which got a little boring after a while. But the veal was delicious, served with a creamy sauce that we really enjoyed. Overall, we had a great time together, and it was a nice introduction to Swiss cuisine!

Incredibile food. Amazing service. Eating inside a replica of a Swiss chalet. They thought of everything! We had the raclette service for brunch. Make sure you reserve this in advance. The kids loved their French toast and banana waffles. The banana was bruleed. Nice touch! The make your own mimosas was also great. There is nothing they did wrong. Definitely recommend this spot.

Stable was a delicious experience perfect for a cold winter night in DC. We got the wings and garlic/pepper fondue and it was all delicious!! We were in a cute "chalet/cabin" inside the restaurant and it made the experience so much cuter. The service was great, no complaints. Highly recommend everyone try this at least once, such a cute and delicious experience!

We were looking forward to this meal given all the hype online about this restaurant. I must say, though, that the food was not as we expected. The complementary bread basket were stacked on a counter and served to tables cold. The crumb structure was not great and the crust was a little too hard from being somewhat stale. The raclette toast was pack with umami, but the combination of meat and cheese made it overly salty. My entree, the veal cooked to rare, was tender and juicy. However, the portion is nowhere near worth the price. The candied chestnuts were also a confusing pairing for my palate. We may give this place another try, but we would definitely play it safe and get their signature fondue.
