Decided to treat myself to brunch after church today. I'm so glad, I landed here. This was my first visit to Stab's and I will return. My experience was so nice and warm. I did not make reservations today and luckily I was able to be greeted and seated within five minutes of walking in. As soon as I entered the hostesses greeted me and asked my preference for a party of one; bar, table or upstairs sitting. I asked for a table and was walked into the dining area within three minutes or less of the initial exchange. As this establishment fills up quickly, I'll probably make a reservation on my next visit. My server was Sabrina and she was such a bubbly server and offered great selections for me as it was my first visit. I ordered the Rosemary Martini, French Onion Soup and a half dozen charbroiled oysters with jalapeños and bacon. Although, the soup and oysters were considered appetizers it was more than enough for me and I had leftovers to bring home. Sabrina checked on me throughout my dining and I was also greeted by the GM and owner David. He was just as warm and welcoming as Sabrina and the hostesses. Coming here felt warm and welcoming and the food was warm and welcoming...simply delicious. When you enter the location, the scenery is so calming with a beautiful water fountain on site. You have the option to dine inside or outside. I will do outside on my next visit. The inside of the establishment is very nice. It gives you an old yet modern Victorian vibe with the high ceilings, staircase and chandelier lightings throughout. There's a nice bar area and beautiful black and white photos are beautifully displayed throughout. I have nothing but great things to say about my visit and I can't wait to return for myself and when my friends come to visit.

Smoke prime rib
Mark W.

So I asked my wife where she'd like to go for her birthday dinner. She requested Stab's. I called and made reservations. The lady who made my reservation was very kind and asked if we would be celebrating any special occasion. I told her it was for my wife's birthday. When we arrived, we were greeted and quickly taken to our table. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Our waitress did an amazing job! She was so attentive! Our food came out in a very timely fashion, and it was phenomenal! We had salads, asparagus, smoked prime rib and filet mignon. Wow...just amazing! Just when we thought the service and attentiveness couldn't get any better, our waitress brought my wife a complimentary birthday dessert of bread pudding! I also noticed that the manager, David Rine, checked in each customer. He was very friendly and talked to us as we weee leaving the restaurant...gave me his card to call him when we wanted to make another reservation. I just can't say enough about this place! Just go and enjoy one of best dining experiences ever!

Sirloin, but passed off as filet mignon.
Rocco S.

The service was perfect. Very attentive. The environment was great (minus having to stare at the cluttered wine cellar that's more like a storage closet). Food wasn't bad, but I'm 99.8% certain that my filet mignon was just a sirloin. I know my cuts, and this ain't my first rodeo. You can do better than that Stab's.

Eggrolls
Ashlyn Y.

Brunch for the Birthday Girl Don't skip out on Stab's for brunch! $15 bottomless mimosa with the purchase of an entree - amazing! Their brunch menu is just as appetizing and glamorous as their dinner entrees. The food was immaculate, delicious and left us wanting more! We ended up sitting upstairs which is a nice change but those are some steep stairs. Recommend sitting outside with the nice weather. The boudin egg rolls was ahhhmazing - seriously, I could have ordered two more orders and been happy! Don't skimp on the breakfast burger either - it's the same delicious burger on their happy hour/lunch menu plus an egg cooked to your liking - yum! The service was quick and prompt. Our server seemed unhappy when we asked about a cake to be served afterwards that was brought in - but it was most likely a miscommunication with management and not forewarning the server that they would honor a cake being brought in to be served. She was slightly rude to several of us at the table which made things uncomfortable for our experience but I'm sure most of us will be back! Recommendation - mgmt communicate with staff so there isn't a misunderstanding and a moody server providing a poor experience at a high end restaurant!

Boudin Spring Roll
Traechel M.

Whenever someone asks me where to go for brunch, Stab's is always my recommendation! I went Sunday to celebrate a family member's birthday. This establishment never disappoints, no matter the location. We started off with two appetizers for the table: The Charbroiled Oysters topped with bacon and jalapeños & The Boudin Spring Rolls. This was my first time having the oysters from Stabs. Dispute the oysters being really small (this could be a seasonal thing), the flavor was amazing! The cheese, bacon and jalapeños elevated the classic charbroiled oysters! I would definitely order these again, but hopefully the oysters will be bigger. The Boudin Spring Rolls are an old faithful! We order these every time and they are always crispy and delicious. For our entrees we tried the Smoked Fried Chicken, Fruit Waffle topped with Ice Cream, and the Filet Tips with Scrambled Eggs! I tried a little of everything. The Filet Tips and Scrambled Eggs with the mashed Gouda potatoes was absolutely worth trying! The filet tips are sizable chunks of steak and the potatoes are so creamy! I did my best to eat it all, but it was hard after I tasted everyone's food! The Fresh Fruit Waffle was perfection, especially with the vanilla bean ice cream! You don't even need syrup! The waffles here are sugary and lite, which makes you want to just inhale them! Finally, I did have a piece of the smoked fried chicken, but I honestly think it lacked some seasoning and was fried a little hard. The Smokey flavor was definitely there though! Of course, we washed everything down with the bottomless mimosas (great price point of $12)! We didn't expect them to be so large, which left no room for refills (that's a good thing though)! If you can manage to drink two, then you've got your money's worth! Highly recommend! Make a reservation if you are dining with more than 4 people.

Mashed Potatoes
Christie D.

Started with the Cajun boudin spring rolls and the jumbo lump crab cake. The spring rolls came with ponzu sauce and were delicious. Highly recommend! The crab cake was good but definitely not the best. There were just way too many crab shells inside of it and for $28 I just expected something way better. Our waiter also brought us some complimentary bread and butter right before our entrees came out. The bread was warm and fresh. For entrees, my husband and I both ordered the filet with a side of roasted garlic gouda mashed potatoes. Our waiter asked us when ordering our steaks if we wanted the crispy onions that usually come on top of them and if we wanted some herb butter to go on top as well. We both said yes to those two things however we never got our crispy onions. We also found out when receiving our bill that the herb butter was an additional $6 for each steak. $12 for some butter is just insane. Our waiter mentioned nothing about this when asking us if we wanted this. Steaks were good but definitely not the best I've ever had. The garlic gouda mashed potatoes had no taste at all. We had to add salt and pepper. No taste of garlic or gouda which we found strange. The ambiance inside of this restaurant is nice.

Delish  Smashtini
La'Kitha L.

This drink omggg, Smashtini . So where do I begin, our server/my new bff Aven couldn't have done anything better. He was so polite, keep us laughing, and was spot on with every food choice recommendation. The crab cake, steak tips and mash were simply delightfully. We had to do our part by thanking the "chef" Kyle for preparing such an awesome feast . David even offered me a job after we were there for over 2 hrs and I requested a pillow and blanket Beautiful ambiance, so calm and relaxing, not overcrowded, we'll definitely revisit real soon.

Streak 9oz
Caleb M.

Just had the 9oz and damn it was wonderful. My lady had a salad with a few amazing drinks. I recommend the steak for sure. Sit back and have a few house drinks. With it! Great new spot! Mac n cheese was ok. That's the only thing they need to work on. Good luck Stabs!

We have been twice, both times at the location on Jefferson Hwy…read more I always get the ribeye because I actually like flavor. The first time my ribeye was just as good as any steak I have anywhere, maybe except for one or two other restaurants. The second time while good, not did not touch the first experience. The butter served with the steak browned, maybe too much, and overwhelmed the steak. Both time my Wife ordered the filet on both occasions. The first time the steak was pretty good but this past time it was overcooked and the char on the outside was bordering on burnt. During our most recent visit I started with the wedge and my Wife the sensation salad. My wedge was good but not in the top 3 best I have ever had. My Wife was not pleased with the sensation salad at all. The sensation was very small and not enough dressing. We also ordered the Mac & Cheese and Potatoes Au Gratin. The Mac & Cheese was very good. It taste and looked a lot better than most of the pictures posted on Yelp. The potatoes were okay, not great but not horrible. The complimentary bread was good however, not close to even being top 10. We finished our meal with the New York Cheesecake. It was okay as well, you can find just as good of cheesecake at a lot of places.

First class service all around. The entire staff pulls together, and no one is above picking up…read moredirty plates or bringing a replacement fork. The food was first class; fresh made, great flavors and seasonings, and cooked properly. Classy decor with, white table cloth (without white paper caps), tastefully decorated, and elegant. The deserts were very good, but hard to think you can eat any more after the feeling that you want to pick the plate at the end if the dinner. BUT, the deserts vanish from the table like magic. This is a place fore special occasions and any time you want a great meal.

Carrabba's sprinkler system had been activated before I arrived at 8p. The Silly Rabbit Comedy Club was offering a late show so I was hoping to dine in. I was greeted by an attractive group of staff upon entering who showed me to the bar area. I was happy that the bar area offers booths. The menu has no prices(should've been a red flag.) There's an old saying,"if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it." I'd counter with,"if you have to conceal it, it's probably not worth it." Ding, ding, ding! I tried winging it so I ordered the Petite Filet Mignon, Flemings Potatoes, and a tea. The interior was nice and dark as I like my dining establishments to be. I attempted to view the main dining area but the Christmas decoration(border) was literally blocking the view. I couldn't see without standing. There were only two of us at the bar. It was creeping to 845p now and I asked my waitress to change it "to go." Immediately my order is presented to me. My bill was three times what I expected to pay. All I received was meat and potatoes. I've prepared better tasting steak in a crock pot. I've thought about returning but I won't after reading this is standard for Flemings.

I have lived in BR for 6 years now. Many departments at LSU take guests there and in that time, Building 5 has done nothing to improve its parking lot. The restaurant sits underneath an overpass and the parking is pothole marked unpaved gravel. This means that there is no room for wheelchairs or accommodations for anyone who is differently-abled to get into the restaurant. The whole restaurant makes no room for handicapped persons. On the occasion I did get food, the food is slightly overpriced. All meats were cooked adequately but the food was lukewarm probably owing to sitting in the kitchen under the heat lamp than being delivered promptly. When I have gone, I regularly have to ask for refills on soda as I am the designated driver often for department functions. Servers pay you no heed if you do not buy alcohol. Because I go here because of academic reasons, I would barely go here myself. I've been here many times and found it wanting. It's an ableist place in its infrastructure. It's fine I'm atmosphere as a cocktail bar but would little recommend it to people I call friend.
