This comfortable and good standard of living I now enjoy much with my family, is all thanks to you ma'am MRS Hannah Jeff before now I had a low income and did a lot of online trade which no profit, but you came like an angle and change all of that in just one week, you turned my $600 to $8,450 with your intelligence as an expert and from that day I had made more profit each week investing more, there is no amount of thanks that will be enough for what you have done for me and my family, but I promise ma'am I will speak of your honesty,handwork and trust to the world, this is dream come true for me for finding a legit account manager like you, I advice the entire public to invest with MRS Hannah Jeff and be financially sable contact her on the following WhatsApp: +130233131147 Email: [email protected]

Went to Stage last night for the first time. We ordered the feast option for $65/person. For this option you get served whatever the chef chooses for that night. All I can say is that we are incredibly disappointed with our experience. To give you an accurate idea of what we were charged for, for the first round of just two rounds we were served a dish with a small bowl of potato chips, a small bowl of pickles, an opened can of sardines and a chunk of blue cheese served with one piece of homemade bread and a separate plate with chicken hearts sauteed in garlic and oil. After the two rounds we were served a small dessert. The flavours did not go well together and honestly it was really underwhelming. Aside from a good wine list would not recommend this place.

Cute neighborhood, friendly staff, cute date place. The food has been wildly big hits out of the park to a bit of a swing and miss. My personal opinion may be it depends on who the chef is on that day. I've had the best steak in the city there and also the worst canned items there too. But good cocktails, intimate setting, unique wine lists, and a ever changing menu that sometimes deliver home runs make it a gem. I prefer fresh fare and my critique would be to remove the commercially prepared items that get placed on a plate -especially the cold items. Have some additional hot prepared food items and make the rotating menu smaller. Overall this place is still a top pick.

Cool spot, we had a fun and lively late night dinner. Great food and excellent service. I really liked the fun and creative menu. Excellent wine list. Very good for a date night. Not for picky eaters.

Been here many times. A happening, very cool place with no reservations, great wine list & many wines by the glass and a very interesting and tasty tapas-style menu.Let’s give them a pandemic pass, maybe. But it was so average compared to past experiences and ran us over $300 for the pleasure, I figure I should pass on our views.The waiter was very nice, not too attentive. A $50 bottle was marked up to $130 (research suggests $48.50 across Canada). Menu and wine list are a bit of a joke. The waiter wasn’t even too fussed about the menu.Bread and cheese $12, French Onion soup (good, if a little sweet) was $34, which is ridiculous. But the ‘liver’—the menu is such a half baked, uninteresting effort—a small amount of liquified liver and a dash of honey for $19. Crazy stuff.Even with the pandemic, very disappointing.My reviews have received over 100,000 views. You’ll see I don’t slag off lightly. But this was such a disappointment.Addendum: it is new ownership. Other friends just told us of a similar experience. Avoid!

Atmosphere is good, drinks are good, service is good. The food? I have no idea. The menu was VERY minimalist. Pig Head? Cow tongue? Bone Marrow? I'm sure it is delicious but didn't want it. Also no gluten free items on the menu so how are you supposed to eat all the menu items since they require bread? (which you have to order separatly)

Food was horrendous, drinks were awful, and the menu and staff are so utterly pretentious. It’s way too expensive and so disappointing.

We visited Stage last night for our anniversary dinner. Not knowing the menu felt both exciting and scary, but we decided to go for it because reviews were good and a friend of mind recommended. Our server was very knowledgeable and kind. He served me a glass of wine which I loved and all I said was I need something easy to drink, I trust you. We ordered 4 dishes(I won't bother explaining because it always changes), all very delicious. It is difficult to define their style- Not really tapas and yet menus are meant to be shared...Dessert was vanilla custard and it was the best custard I ever tasted. Overall, I would say foods were very rich; that being said, you may not want to bring a vegan friend there). Definitely will go back later to try again.

This place is hidden well. It should stay hidden. The food proportions are obnoxiously small for the price. The pork was grey on one side and uncooked on the other. The bread was borderline burnt and the sauce that came with the bread was good but way too salty. The water was the best part of the meal. The chips were okay too. Big guy never coming again. Big guy signing off.

Main problem here is consistency…first time I ate here everything I ordered was delicious. Next time (since the menu changes regularly) I felt completely ripped off. Half the dishes were obviously straight out of a can and flavourless, and paid premium for it! Avoid!
