Stage Left Steak - New Brunswick

This was our second time at the restaurant and the service was terrible. We waited an hour for our dinner, while other tables around us were seated after us and got their dinners before us.

Amazing service from all the staff , Maître d' was great and on point going above and beyond to accommodate customers . Food was unfortunately disappointing and not on par with any of the other fine dining steak houses in the area for the price .

We never really knew who our waiter was. We were served by probably 7 different people but probably had to ask for our water to be filled twice. Our $159 steak was served without the requested 800 degree salt block since my girlfriend likes her steak a little more well done so we were eventually both using it so we didn't have to eat cold steaks. We ate it at room temperature at best. Our dipping sauces were also delivered late and the garlic butter was not melted. I have been there several times over the years for special occasion and I have to say I will probably never go back. they also charge 3% for using a credit card to pay. Dinner for 2 with tip was $385 and we didn't even buy a bottle of wine. We ordered a total of 3 glasses and 2 cocktails. I can make a better Cosmo and the martini glass it was served in was small. My $16 cocktail was gone in 3 sips. If I am going to pay for a meal like this I expect a higher level of service. I would not recommend Stage Left again. One more thing. Since they open both restaurants we observed plates of food going out the front door onto the street and into another closed door. We were both a little turned off by our food going from the kitchen to the sidewalk then to our table.

I haven't eaten here in a few years but I expected better service. Our drinks took awhile and we had to ask where they were. We came to celebrate my son's birthday. After we ordered he changed his mind and told the waiter he wanted the filet instead. The filet arrived in a small green plate, not a dinner plate, with nothing else. The food was ok but not as good as I remember. Overall it was lackluster and we won't be back

Attractive restaurant, close proximity to the state theater, the reason for my choosing it, with nice ambiance, and an Attentive staff. Drinks were pricey but spot on, as was the food, cooked perfectly. Desserts were large and delicious. Even comped us a birthday crème brûlée as it was my girlfriend's birthday. Overall great dining experience, but, as previously stated, a little pricey for New Brunswick.
