Absolutely recommend The Golden Stag. Super Delicious food, very friendly staff, loved the decor and relaxing atmosphere. Our server was friendly and so helpful when we were making our choices for dinner. I wish I would have caught her name! So many other things we want to try! See you again soon đ

Thanks to The Golden Stag for a great birthday dinner for our friend. Service was awesome especially with how busy it was. They even played the birthday song on the piano multiple times and gave my friend a dessert. It was super busy but they made sure keep everyone filled, full, and happy. Exceptional pizza!

The Golden Stagg - A Hidden Gem in Manistee
My recent visit to The Golden Stagg in Manistee was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, the beautiful atmosphere captivated me. The interior exudes a cozy elegance, with warm lighting and tasteful decor that makes you feel right at home while still offering an upscale dining experience.
The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely cared about making my evening special. Itâs rare to find a team so dedicated to ensuring every detail is perfect.
Now, onto the food and drinksâabsolute perfection! I started with their Snowflake cocktail, a delightful blend of winter-inspired flavors that was as stunning as it was delicious. It was the perfect way to kick off the evening.
For dinner, I indulged in their Chicken Alfredo, and it was truly the best Iâve ever had. The creamy, flavorful sauce paired with perfectly cooked pasta and tender chicken was heavenly. Every bite was a testament to the chefâs expertise.
The Golden Stagg is a must-visit for anyone in Manistee, whether youâre a local or just passing through. From the exceptional food and cocktails to the beautiful ambiance and incredible service, itâs an experience that will leave you eager to return. Highly recommend!

We had a lovely dinner! Sky was an incredible server and took great care of us. Nikita made us a lovely dressing for the Greek salad and the atmosphere is always warm and inviting. A must visit gem in Manistee. Great Mediterranean food.

I'm not typically fond of stuffed peppers, but the ones served here were pretty good! I also really enjoyed the appetizer trio (I had to make a slight modification to make it vegan), the stuffed grape leaves, tabbouleh, and hummus are all really good. Nice atmosphere, beautiful building, and nice staff. It's nice to have healthy and vegan options in Manistee.

Enjoyed the visit. The drinks were great. The food was good. We had the golden stag and the steak dinner. Don't think the price paid for the food was worth it though. The waiter recommended more dishes from the Bluefish restaurant than their establishment. The atmosphere and design of the establishment was great. Overall was an okay experience.

We had the salmon and the âGolden Stag.â The food was excellent! We also enjoyed a couple of their signature cocktails. The Greek Old Fashioned was especially tasty. Afterwards we had a couple of the cobblers for dessert. We did not have a reservation, and since they were short staffed, we had to wait for a table, which gave us a chance to explore the downtown a bit. After we were seated, we waited almost 15 minutes before anyone approached our table. We began to question our choice of dinner establishments. That doubt disappeared when we met our server. She apologized for our wait and thanked us for our patience. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Overall an excellent experience that we would recommend.

We would like to thanks to the owner of this place who give us tremendous service. He was working so hard, serving table and helping his stuff. This was a beautiful thing to witnessed and what was the most important he was shared the tips with each of the employees. What a wonderful gesture.

Amazing food! The lamb chops were phenomenal, the burrata and even the Caesar salad was absolutely scrumptious!! The only reason I gave 4/5 stars was that it was a smaller place with not much room on a 2-top for my husband and I to share our meal selections. However, that's not really the fault of the restaurant. It's limited to it's downtown historic brick building location (again small, but quaint!)
Will absolutely return the next time we're in Manistee!
