Maison Ricard

Maison Ricard (French for "House of Richard") was an intimate, fine dining establishment run by The Stable from August 1, 2021 to February 16, 2022. The restaurant was located on the ground floor of an office building on the corner of Legion Square and Vespucci Boulevard.

"'When You're Here, You're Femly.'"''

About
In the week of July 26th, 2021, The Stable bought the "Maison Ricard" office building on Legion Square. Dick Chiclets started two new clean businesses inside the office: the Downbad Records label and the upscale restaurant Maison Ricard (French for "House of Richard").

Maison Ricard was decorated by Carmella Corset. The dining section seated four people next to a wide fireplace and a stage for intimate live performances. The cocktail lounge seated six people, and the cigar lounge seated multiple patrons. The patrons relaxed with signature cocktails while the chef prepared fresh meals with local ingredients in the open kitchen. Oddly, the restaurant's signature steaks could only be grilled at the front desk.

Stable members often rallied together to make each Maison Ricard dinner experience as fine as possible. During each dinner, a local artist would play background music and a private concert, and the Stable employees would obsessively read the room (often over two-way radios) to ensure the best possible ambiance and waiter decorum for their high-paying customers. One time when the Block Gang dared to ruin Mayor Abdul AlRahim's dinner at the restaurant, The Stable responded by blowing them up with C4.

Exasperated by the lack of soundproofing from the constant noise of sirens, Dick finally sold Maison Ricard for $208,000 on February 16, 2022, and immediately purchased a foreclosed mansion as the new home for Downbad Records.
