We had an incredible experience at Stage! The whole idea is to share so you can try many things. And go with an open mind because they change their menu on a regular basis. The music is awesome, the atmosphere is very Europa and the food....incredible!

We were six for dinner, it was not explained to us that the menu items are for sharing. So when we ordered what we thought was an entree ie the rockfish, all we received was a piece of rockfish without any sides. The pasta is so small that it couldn’t be shared, for $29 for cheese pasta one would expect more than a salad plate size dish. I wish the server had explained how the menu worked. We will not be back, even for a sharing menu portions are small for the price and quality.

My favourite place for a cozy evening out with the girls! Boujee vibes with a relaxed atmosphere. Cocktails are delicious, food is amazing! I love that they change out their menu, every time we come in it feels like a new experience. The staff are so accommodating and friendly. Very inclusive space, they make you feel like a regular.

Great food and wine list. You can always count on something new each time you drop in. They order from local farmers and base the menu around what's best of the season. They rotate their wines by the glass to pair daily. Overall - you get the sense it's run by people putting in the effort and doing what they love. Just go.
What a stunning find. Perfect in every way. Thank you!

Service- Service was a mixed bag…initially, we did not know what to expect. We were asked us whether we would like [specific brand of pinot gris] or [specific brand of cab sab]. When we expressed confusion over why we could only have one of two wines, rather than choosing from the extensive wine menu, we were told these were the only options with the set meal. No explanation of why. Now I wonder whether the two wines were paired with the different elements of the meal, but this only occurred to me after we left, since it was never explained, even when I asked. Otherwise, the servers were attentive but not intrusive. They re-folded our napkins nicely when we went to the washroom which was unique and pleasant.
Food- Neither me nor my husband enjoyed the food. The starter was crudite, bread and cheddar/brie, and a slab of pork on a plate with a sweet sauce on it. Salad: a massive pile of sliced endive with a floral vinagerette which was okay. Entrée 1: pasta noodles with melted butter as a sauce, which was a bit hard to finish as for some reason it tasted just like movie theater popcorn butter. There were no spices, vegetables, or anything else in the "sauce"- it was just melted butter. Entrée 2: A whole rockfish, deep-fried on a plate by itself. My husband who can normally eat anything could only eat half as it was super salty. He also had pomme frites which were the best part of the meal and very delicious. Not a single part of the meal was plated attractively or garnished. Serving sizes were large, which is nice if the food is edible but unfortunately this was barely the case. This entire meal, with one bottle of wine, cost almost $300.
Wine- Plenty of nice options (though again, our wine was pre-set). Wine went well enough with the meal.
Ambience- The ambience was the highlight of the dinner. The restaurant itself is in an old, brick building, and the exposed beams, warm glow of low lighting, and open kitchen make it a cozy place to pass the time. Because of this, I would consider returning in the future (but only for drinks).

Yeah… it was that good. Go all the way after dinner with a bottle of wine, and have dessert too… you’ll need a walk afterwards, but will have a smile on your face.

Pleasant room. Helpful, friendly, and unobtrusive service. However, the food was really disappointing—very small servings, even accounting for being on the Happy Hour menu, and expensive. Good bread on the charcuterie plate (no board & not enough for sharing). The rest was disappointing. Definitely not value for $$$. The Room is pleasant, but I doubt we’ll return.
Had a lovely experience appreciate that we weren’t rushed out. Loveliest server with an Irish accent. One of my favourite burgers in town.

Always made feel like a VIP in Stage. From the amazing front of house staff that always remember my name even if I haven't been in months, to the waiters, bar staff and food. Always a 5 star experience. The candlelit setting is so romantic and the wine list is out of this world. It's a can't miss If you're in Victoria.

Love being able to walk through a eibe bar and chat with the server about the different varietals and vineyards they carry. Food was to notch and unique- besides having the best sticky toffee cake this side of Cornwall!!
