   Cocktails are outstanding, the salads were super tasty and the steak was amazing. My only disappointment was the cake was a bit dry. But service was impeccable and friendly. We will be back.

   Our family of four enjoyed a perfect evening dining al fresco at Stock Bistro and Bar in Manchester's beautifully restored railroad freight terminal. This innovative concept marries a Nordic-inspired restaurant with the Txtur furniture showroom, creating a uniquely immersive dining experience. We started with three exceptional appetizers: the Blomkålsuppe (cauliflower and Havarti soup) was velvety and aromatic, the shrimp toast disappeared within minutes, and the plum salad provided a refreshing counterpoint. The non-alcoholic cocktail selection impressed us all, particularly the lingonberry-infused options that perfectly complemented our meal. For mains, we enjoyed the plankstek (American Wagyu strip) which arrived sizzling on a cedar plank, cooked to perfection with a beautifully charred exterior and rose center. The trout was equally impressive with crisp skin and delicate, buttery flesh beneath. Chef Kevin Coleman's Nordic-inspired menu balances authentic Scandinavian techniques with seasonal Virginia ingredients. Service throughout was attentive and warm, enhancing our dining experience. The patio setting was ideal for our family dinner, though the furniture showroom offers a fascinating alternative dining space. My only minor quibble was a slight mothball scent inside, likely from the dual-purpose nature of the space - but this clever retail-dining hybrid concept actually adds character to an already memorable experience. We'll certainly return to this Manchester gem.

   Another wonderful dinner at Stock. Started off with oysters followed by the Planksteak. Our server was amazing. Looking forward to our next visit.

   Food was once again excellent. I had the Lamb curry and it was spectacular. Not spicy hot but definitely a strong curry flavor (and you can off set it with the Greek yogurt served on the side). I am also a huge fan of the smelts. Great dinning experience.

   This is an under-appreciated gem of a restaurant. The food, drinks, and service were all stellar.

   Made a reservation here for my friends 30th birthday and it was such a great experience! All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to bring in our own cake which was great. They also gave our friend a little birthday card signed by the staff - super cute!! The food was so delicious and the service was fabulous! This was our whole parties first time dining here and we will definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommend!

    Lovely experience with a group of friends. We sat in the middle of the showroom and it felt like a private dinner. The food and service were absolutely fantastic.
