Service was great from putting in our name for a table to our waitress and bartender everyone was super friendly. There was live music playing and it was a beautiful night so we grabbed a seat on the patio. We got onion soup, spinach dip the scallops and pork chop everything was really good and the prices were fair. Had a few drinks and a good meal with a great atmosphere. Will be going back
Great local place. Nice staff. Lots of TVs. Seems like it still feels the same and has lots of TVs. Definitely will be back in better weather. Always love the homemade pasta’s & ravioli. Wish ya could get more parking.
Our recent birthday celebration at this restaurant was an absolute hit. We were happy that the restaurant offered a separate room which can accommodate 15 people. We got the opportunity to create our own menu for the occasion and we were delighted to see the party girl's name printed on each custom menu. Throughout the evening, the staff proved to be attentive and friendly. From appetizers to desert, was expertly prepared. While the restaurant have a separate parking area, we found that during peak times, securing a spot could be a bit challenging.
Best place ever if you want to chill relax and bug out with your girls. Julian the bartender is the best not only he serves the best drinks but he is attentive, very dedicated and makes you feel welcome. Was here for a work party and Julian did a great job
I really enjoyed this spot. The food is very good. The drinks are 10/10. Lots of thought put into them. Overall the ambiance of the restaurant is really nice. Very historic vibe mixed with a modern energy. Good portions and price points for the food. The patio area is fun to eat at.
We came back... yes, again. To confirm my previous review. Spectacular food, the best martini, in a pleasant atmosphere, finishing with a delicious dessert. And this time, we were very well served by Gina, our waitress today, very attentive and very helpful. Don't hesitate to visit this bar-restaurant. Rating 5 out of 5.
We came here for a quick lunch and I was impressed by the food. We had the homemade raviolis in vodka sauce, fish and chips, and their version of eggs Benedict. The raviolis were delicious and smothered in sauce. I wish they had the appetizer portion slightly larger for the raviolis. Our server told us it came with 8-12, but my cheese ones came with 6. I highly enjoyed the fish and chips. It was crispy. My husband said it was too greasy for his taste. Finally, the eggs Benedict was good, but not my favorite. I liked the fish and chips and the raviolis so much, I would definitely return!
Been taking advantage of the Tuesday Tini's and tacos lately.. And glad we did. Food is great, and Steve the bartender is top of the line. I just give him an idea and he makes me the most amazing cocktails... PLEASE ask him to make you a coconut lime mojito. You WILL NOT be sorry..
Had a fantastic time at Stage House Tavern! Definitely a family establishment. Huge shoutout to Katie—she is an excellent bartender with a great personality and makes delicious drinks. She was so easy to speak with and really made the experience welcoming. Also, a big thank you to the manager, Alexis, for running such a well-organized and friendly spot. The management and staff here truly care about their guests. Highly recommend!
We were at Stage House for a late lunch, we had a group of 30+ and they were able to accommodate us upstairs. Aesthetically, it’s very pleasing inside and outside and definitely feels like a historic place. Before our group dinner we hung out at the bar, there was a lot of seating there and they have a great variety of craft beers and seasonal cocktails. I’d be curious to try the food on the regular menu, overall I’d recommend Stage House for a classy meal, great service, and older aesthetic.
