We visited tonight for the first time , invited by friends who have eaten here before. The restaurant was beautifully decorated and warm and inviting. We had made reservations and were seated right away. The staff was awesome. Our server was attentive and took our orders in a timely manner. I had gluten free pizza. It was fantastic. I loved the unique options for the pizza. My husband had chicken Marsala and he is still raving about how good it was. We will definitely visit again!!!

What a magical surprise when we entered The Golden Stag for the dinner on the 31st of December. It was a savory memorable delight with all the ambience and festivities of the evening, but it was cozy. All the dishes that emerged from the kitchen were created from fresh and most organic ingredients. We could all hear and participate in the conversation without risking life or limb bending and contorting to catch what the people at our party was saying. I had the creamy heirloom pasta that was exquisite and had never tasted such a succulent sauce, my husband had the alfredo classico, my sister had the stuff grape leaves, loaded hummus and my brother had the loaded vegan peppers, but before we had to try the hot buttered rum to wet our appetite and for dessert we had the decadent and succulent Moscato berry tiramisu, and my brother had the pistachio e melegrano. Jamil and Laura have always taken enormous pride in serving the best nutritious dishes and never fail their patrons. We usually need a doggie bag, but due to their clean and wholesome ingredients we were almost able to finish everything on our plates. I could only speak for my dining experience—from heirloom pasta to the tasty fresh tabouleh salad with the amazing citrus flavor to the Moscato berry tiramisu cake, we had elevated our palettes to another heavenly dimension. It was a euphoric This local nook could be on the streets of NYC, Chicago or L.A. Thank goodness we were able to partake in this memorable sleepy, Currier and Ives picturesque little town.

My family of 5 went to the Golden Stag last October and had a wonderful experience. The appetizers, drinks, and entrees were amazing, made with quality ingredients, and reasonably priced. Our waitress, who was also one of the owners, was friendly and extremely competent. When we ordered two buttered rum hot cocktails to share after dinner she divided them into 5 different glasses. We all had an amazing dining experience and we will definitely be going back!! Thank you Golden Stag!!

I brought my son here to enjoy a late dinner this week and it was quite the experience. We ordered the spanakopita appetizer, which was a great portion and exactly what I expected, creamy and flaky, perfect temperature throughout. Then we had the lamb and the chicken skewers. Both were incredible with exceptional portion sizes. Our server was divine as well, I can’t recall the name, but everyone was pleasant and attentive.

Had an issue with my order, (1st time with a problem with my order, out of many times it was very good) the owners were gracious and accommodating, and took care of my complaint right away. That being said. This is a very clean, charming resturant. The food is always good, especially the brick oven pizzas. BEST IN TOWN. and I mean that. Thank you for acknowledging and taking care of the issue. I will be visiting this resturant in the near future, numerous.

It is the BEST place in town. Not like any of the typical local places that have no idea how to operate fine dining. Then again, they have very little (just 1) competition locally

Fourth time dining at GS. Another amazing experience. Had the pleasure of meeting the owners, being served by one, and both were gracious and attentive. The food was excellent. But it’s personal touches to service that really makes a restaurant and these two have it!
Honestly the best restaurant in Manistee 🦌 High class atmosphere, amazing food, great service. 10/10, would recommend
