"this was the second time that we at blue hill at stone barns had eaten (the first was about a year ago) our second visit was not so funny, because we first knew that the routine was brought out a dish in a time, an excursion to somewhere else (kitchen, special room with compost part away through the meal. but also, it was disappointing to see some of the same things on the menu as we did last time. yes, it was the almost the same time of the year, but surely a restaurant of this caliber can be more creative and sometimes they were something too creatiw at this visit. we were served a melon that had been fermented. with the first (and last bite, I said to my man, that tastes just like cow manure smell. Now, when we were picked into the compost room for our half of a baby potato, we saw where the fermentation had taken place: in a bag placed in the compost container. ew, that explains, I thought. I also know that you eat seasonal at stone barns, but the menu was very, very hard on beds, squash and parsnips. while the peasant from this world was (please sell to the public in quantity! and the beet sliders were so big that we could have eaten ten more, it was a bit much to have so many sweet sweet sweet sweet at a meeting, especially if you lean on the savory like me. While I would recommend bh at sb one time, I don't think it's worth visiting later, especially if they go near the same season they go ahead. two more observations: 1. the personal is very wonderful. 2.I wouldn't interfere with the deli for lunch. eating is nothing special. also we have a bag of popcorn and it was stale as possible."

"Food and setting were good as always but the service was not as good as usual. I noticed it was all new wait staff so not sure if that was the issue. Kitchen was Very slow too. But overall still love the food so will try it again. Prices do run high though."

"First, the good: The Stable cocktail with the jalapeño tequila that the restaurant infuses on site was probably the best cocktail I've ever had. It's just tequila, muddled lime, and ginger beer, but it's served in a Moscow Mule copper cup, and was the perfect mix of bite and sour-sweet and flavor. I would go back just to order this again.The atmosphere was likewise very pleasant post-movie at 6:45 on a Sunday. A little loud, but not so much we couldn't talk, and pleasantly busy with a lively view into the kitchen and a festive feeling.We started with the pretzel with brie and fig jam, which was--like almost everything on the menu--ambitiously priced. It was $15. It was very good, especially for fig fans. It was very strong, stronger than the fig jam you may be used to getting in the cheese aisle at Stew Leonard's.My husband was thrilled with his Iceberg Wedge salad topped with grilled chicken and portobello mushroom, though again, nearly $30 for a salad seemed high. The portions were ample and included sections of corn off the cob. It was a full dinner plate size salad and he was satisfied afterward.I opted for the wood-roasted chicken. Be warned, the online menu's cauliflower rice option is no longer available, and the waiter said he's not sure why it hasn't been updated online. He was happy to substitute charred broccoli for the potatoes for me, though. When my chicken came, my husband's first words were, Is that a chicken or a Cornish hen The leg, wing, and breast were so small that it's hard to imagine what the whole chicken looked like. It was good, and very tender, but not woodsy like I expected. The spinach side dish was perfectly prepared, wilted but not mushy or tough. The broccoli, which is the trend these days, was almost raw, but I should have asked ahead for them to cook it a bit more since I like it more tender. I also got a side dish of pickles and cole slaw (also ambitiously priced at $9). The cole slaw was surprisingly light with a vinegar sauce that was very good. I would not get the chicken again since it was not that special (or ample), but I have to give them credit for it being very tender.Overall, I would say it's a fun place with good food. We saw this amazing-looking mac and cheese dish going out from the kitchen, so if you are up for a bowl of indulgent carbs, it looked amazing.If you're going to the Jacob Burns, as we did, and are looking for a fun date-night feeling afterward, I'd say Southern Table is a good choice.But warning, my husband was a bit unhappy walking out because he noticed that many in the kitchen were unmasked, and our waiter wore his under his nose, which really, honestly, what's the point? So if Covid safety is a priority for you, I can't recommend this location.And you'll overpay a bit, so check out the prices before you head out.The parking is also a bit challenging. We had to wait for a spot, which would be less of an issue in warm months when you don't mind walking over from a more distant spot.My advice to the restaurant would be to update its online menu, have a stern talk with the staff about Covid protocols, and consider having a happy hour with reduced priced drinks."

"let me begin by saying I always enjoy my meal in vela kitchen. our server was attentive and personal. my only output with vela kitchen is that her menu has not changed. that's a problem that prevents me from coming back more often."
