The Stable Description:
Beer is again being made on the site of what used to be the country's largest brewery. Not Anheuser-Busch, as you might expect, but Lemp Brewery, just down the road from the Anheuser-Busch/Inbev headquarters. Amalgamated Brewing Co. has a distilling license, too, and it serves its own dark rum, moonshine and other spirits straight up or in cocktails. Creatively topped pizzas come with anything from Tater Tots (on the Potato Pie) to olive relish (atop the Muffaletta). There's also a build-your-own section for those who prefer traditional fare. Grinders involve ground steak cooked once, seasoned, scooped into French bread and baked again with sauce, cheese and other goodies. The Stable manages to hit the sweet spot for service, pleasing both diners and the happy hour crowd, which gravitates toward the covered, all-seasons patio.

Review :
Recently, I attended a meal at a not so well known spot in St. Louis, called The Stable. This was my first time hearing of and going to the Stable and I was very happy that I did. The inside has a high ceiling. The restaurant is decorated with old fashioned chandeliers that resemble wagon wheels. The bar is made from a huge wooden mantle piece and there are two small rooms adjacent to each other that have a distillery for making their own alcohol and beers.
I sat down and was prepared to carefully peruse the menu until something caught my eye: basket of bacon. It was a starter and it was a basket of bacon. How sweet does that sound? Had the food gods noticed my love for food pork and delivered sacred bacon from heaven? Without thinking and acting as if through divine inspiration, I ordered that starter, along with one of their home brewed Marzens. After a few minutes, the basket arrived. The bacon was perfectly cooked for the way I like it. It wasn't too crispy, but still a bit soft and flimsy, perfectly done. The bacon, tasted like bacon: no maple syrup, no pepper, no spiciness, no smoked anything, just bacony goodness in a perfect multi-note dish of all bacon. 4 stars out of 5.
I then ordered the butternut squash ravioli with a white bean ragout and it arrived shortly after the bacon. The ravioli were perfectly cooked with a filling that was almost too sweet for a savory dish. With white beans and shaved vegetables it was in a nice salty broth that pulled the whole thing together. Don't get me wrong, the ravioli were very delicious but I just wasn't sure that it went perfectly well with what it was sitting on. 3 1/2 stars out of 5.
The last dish I had was the Cajun sandwich, which was a hoagie roll with Andouille, shrimp and sauce with a side of pasta salad. The pasta salad was a normal cold pasta salad that I am always a fan of, but it was the sausage in the sandwich that was notable. It instantly teleported me to a camping trip from my childhood when my father would gather sausage from a meat market and bring it and cook it over an open fire, in the woods. The flavors reminded me exactly of that childhood meal. It was a perfect balance of flavors and spices. It worked perfectly with the sauce, cheese, shrimp and bread as everything came together to fulfill a taste that was almost, no... better than the basket of bacon. Whereas I normally try to train my palette for as many things as I can to help distinguish between foods for my star ratings, this sandwich gets my top score of 5 out of 5.
For anyone looking for a nice night out with some great food that is in the St. Louis area, I highly recommend the Stable.
