The STAGE California Fusion Restaurant and Cafe

The food was amazing and we all really enjoyed the overall atmosphere! Our service unfortunately was unsatisfactory and honestly just awful to some degree. I understand that problems arise and larger parties can be more difficult to serve and handle, but the major issue we had was the rudeness and attitude of the lead server of our party. Our waitress was wonderful, but the waiter was not pleasant at all and just straight up rude. He was quick and short in communication, and did not make us feel very welcome or taken care of. Multiple dishes and drinks arrived very late or were just completely forgotten about. It wasn't clear who we were supposed to make orders with, or when, and many mistakes were made. I felt bad for our hosts who were getting married the following day, as it was their rehearsal dinner. I hope this was an isolated incident, as the restaurant seems to have good reviews and the food was really great, but I personally won't take the chance in ever choosing this restaurant to host a special occasion. I'd give the review a 2.5 if I could

Amazing gem that we found in the heart of downtown Burbank. Dogs are welcome. They even brought him his own water bowl! Food was excellent! Atmosphere was perfect. Outside dining, feels comfortable and the scenery and live music really makes it special.
I got the steak with mushrooms which was amazing. The mushroom pizza was so also very, very good.

The atmosphere is great if you’re on a date and not in a rush, but the service does not live up to the ambiance. In my experiences here, meals for our table often arrived 7–10 minutes apart, which makes for an awkward dining experience. While I appreciate that some may find this acceptable, I expect food to arrive together and within a reasonable timeframe. I’ve dined at Stage on three separate occasions, and while I enjoyed the ambiance, the service issues remain consistent. For that reason, it’s unlikely I’ll return.

Food was decent, service was okay, and there are so many flies in the outdoor seating area (which is the only seating area) that we spent half our dinner just swatting them away from our food.

Stage in Burbank offers a truly exceptional dining experience, making it a standout choice for those seeking both delicious food and a wonderfully private atmosphere. From the moment you step in, there's a sense of intimate charm that sets it apart.
The private outdoor patio seating is a real highlight. It's an inviting space that feels like a hidden oasis, perfect for a quiet dinner or a relaxed gathering with friends. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance, feeling both sophisticated and incredibly comfortable, allowing for genuinely private conversations without feeling cramped or exposed.
And then there's the food: the Armenian BBQ is simply outstanding. Each dish is prepared with care, showcasing authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. Whether you're a connoisseur of Armenian cuisine or new to it, you're in for a treat. The meats are tender and flavorful, grilled to perfection, and the accompanying sides complement them beautifully. It’s clear that a lot of passion goes into every plate.
Overall, Stage isn't just a restaurant; it's an escape. It’s the perfect spot when you're looking for a dining experience that feels both personal and indulgent, combining fantastic food with an unmatched private setting.

Great place to eat or just sit and relax. Very comfortable seats and great service. Will definitely be back. It was very quiet when I visited on a Thursday lunchtime but it made no difference to me.

I love this place. It is my secret spot in Burbank. This is my third time eating here and it gets better every time. My clients loved the food and the peaceful outdoor garden a nice opportunity to get some fresh air shaded and cool lovely foliage all around. and the barbequed meat skewers were outstanding. The caprese salad was the best I have ever had. Top Quality ingredients and very good service and a cute little kitty came to visit our table just as we were leaving.

Seafood salad is incredible. Nice outdoor eating area

Nice place, the live music was good, but a little too loud.

Loved the food, everything was delicious and very flavorful. Service is the worst I've experienced in a long time, it was impersonal and rushed. The waiter wouldn't come to our table for a very long time. Although the food was amazing, I wouldn't come back or recommend the restaurant to others.

Had good food in the private party area. Recommended for private parties.

This was our first time eating here. The outdoor dining area is beautiful. Everything we ordered was delicious and the live entertainment was wonderful! We will definitely go back on our next trip to Burbank!

Great atmosphere, outdoors yet cozy. Food was delicious! Drinks were fine. But being outdoors does come with the outdoor critters… 😬
