Brought a large group of 9 here on a weekday night. The restaurant had a ton of seating and we were at a great wooden table. There was also live music it was great! Pizza was great for groups and the salads were great. Service was a little slow but it was nice, I would definitely come back. It's pricey but the quality is pretty good! Great outdoor seating type of vibe. Whimsical hidden garden restaurant in Burbank. read more

We loved the ambiance at The Stage! We visited with a large group, and they were able to accommodate us all together in two long tables. We were near the stage, which I was worried about at first, but the volume was decent enough we were able to enjoy the performance and still talk to one another. The food was DELICIOUS. I was impressed that they did seafood well while also having a lot of vegetarian options -- it's rare to find that combination. I had the Wild Mushroom Ravioli and the Santa Barbara Seafood Salad, both of which I enjoyed. The wait staff was attentive and helpful, especially considering how large of a party we had. read more

Food: always excellent, served on time, warm, fresh Service: outstanding Ambiance: great, there is always some sort of a background music, but not too loud that you can't hear yourself. Always a pleasure to be here. read more

Service was not good. We asked for sparkling water multiple times from different servers, and never got it. They didn't come to check on us. Most servers are not trained. Only 1 young girl was working hard. Food was average & lacking flavor. The place was beautiful. This was the first titime here for many people in the group and they lost an opportunity. read more

The food here is very tasty. I've had the skewers, peppered steak, lamb chops, thin crust pizza, and desserts . All good! This is a nice place to bring a date or enjoy with a group of friends. I also had my retirement party here. They have a private room that can seat over sixty people and it can be expanded to bigger parties for over 100 people. I had my party with the expansion of adding the second area to the first room. The service was outstanding and they met all my needs. They all worked as a team to make my party awesome. The owner was also easy to get a hold of and great to work with. All the staff were very friendly and professional! The place is clean and the environment is elegant and nice. They have entertainment on certain days and you can have a glass of wine with some jazz or soft music. Overall, this a very good place and I will come back many times! read more

The food and ambiance are amazing! I can't wait to return the next time I visit California.

I been twice here The Stage very beautiful place and delicious food yes little pricy special the drinks and both times we order kebab beef , pork and chicken on skewers and they brought on Mangal very Exotic and delicious only the bad think is food gets cold very quick so I have a suggestion any way you can invent to add light charcoal or big candles under the Mangal to just keep the food warm ? if you invent something like that will be AWSOME I forgot to mention the music and the beautiful dancer are awesome BRAVO read more

First time at stage and I would say the experience was amazing. It's a hidden gem with beautiful live music and the garden they have is such a vibe. Service was fast and professional. The food was delicious. We started off with a Margarita Pizza and finished it off with the amazing filet mignon on stone. Keep in mind you have to cook it urself which is a fun in its own way. We will be back for sure!!!! read more

The Stage - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

I recently hosted 11 women at The Stage for my mother's 88th birthday. I took the time to visit ahead of time to go over a menu and nail down details like a cake, how much to order, a possibility of needing extra food and any suggestions then may have. The (picky and critical) women enjoyed every single aspect of the multi-course meal, the service was perfect and food was absolutely delicious! We all loved the presentation too! *Do not miss the Brussel sprouts!* Their appetites were healthy and they devoured just about every bit of the meal. I was able to take home some leftovers which were just as delicious the next day. They were also delighted in the ambience of being in a forest-like setting. Even though we were right on San Fernando Blvd, it felt a million miles away. Since almost all the ladies were 80+, parking was a bonus since they have their own little lot. I highly recommend The Stage for a special occasion or even not-so-special occasion. read more

We came here for my cousin's birthday party and although the food was good, the service was extremely slow. We had to ask for another place setting multiple times and refills were slow and far between. As far as the location, parking was a bit tricky, but it is super private and tucked away. We were able to fit a pretty large party and although there was another large party next to us, we still felt like we had our own private section. read more

Was there this Sunday. Very bad service. First of all they tried to push the expensive package menu because, according to them, they didn't have enough food of the cheaper package. Note that there were only 3 other smaller groups the entire time we were there. So they were not busy. Next. We had to ask multiple times for bread. Which finally came when we were halfway through our eating Finally we asked for coffee and for the check. After drinking the coffee and paying, and we were almost ready to leave. 2 more plates came (obviously forgotten) it was fish and something else. I didn't know whether to laugh or yell at them. But we just wrapped it and took it to go. In short, Food taste was good. But service horrible and they try to take advantage and cut corners. I've been there before 2 years ago, It was exceptional at that time. Now, I don't recommend it at all read more

Just came back from this wonderful place where my cousin had her 40th birthday bash. Our party of 20 had a table all to ourselves and we had a blast. The atmosphere was good, the music while a bit too loud for me was nice. The food started coming fast and didn't stop until we left well past midnight. The service was spot on and servers did really well keeping us feel welcome and taken care of. I'm allergic to cigarette smoke and did not smell it even once although I did see people lighting up in the little circle upfront. Overall, I was very pleased with the food, service, and ambiance. Thank you guess for making my cousins birthday such a success! She loved it and so did we! read more

What a great hidden gem in Burbank. You probably won't see it when you pass by it. But once you stop by and try this place you will go back and even refer it your friends. A very cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor sitting. The outdoor patio setting is beautiful. Tucked in a lot of trees and beautiful greeneries with lounge seating or dining table sitting options. The best part is that they have a smoking area dining patio with tables and chairs and you can actually order food, eat, drink and enjoy your cigars or cigarettes. I'm not a smoker but my friends are. The food is average here. Some items are really good and some are flavorless. Depends on what you are ordering. They have an open menu and a set menu. The bbq we ordered was delicious with potatoes and rice. Overall a great place for a night out or even to celebrate an event. read more

This hidden gem offers a cozy ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food that make it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The live music at night is soft and soothing, enhancing the atmosphere without overpowering conversation. While the parking is limited, the overall experience more than makes up for it. My girlies and I had a great time, and we will definitely be back! read more

Not such a good experience here yesterday. Came for a small group. Very Nice outdoor patio. Service was slow, very slow, we had to ask several times, for plates and when the food would arrive. Barbecue came out, there were too many flies, I recommend this restaurant to put portable fly fan for outdoors, I felt like I wasted my money here because the flies were all over the food. read more

Very nice place to enjoy amazing BQ. Service is very impressive, and I appreciate it for food. Thanks

I've been here a couple of times by chance when I go to out of town to IKEA. Their outdoor area has such a phenomenal vibe. Lots of greenery, wood, pillows on your seat... and it's just relaxing and chill. They have a misting machine and live music on the weekend. I always order the Steak on Stone! I like steaming hot food and it's such a great way to keep your steak hot, but also a convenient and creative way to cook your steak how you like it. I also had the Apple Strudel, and it was such a crispy and delightful dessert. I was a bit embarrassed, because I was on a "Mama Day Break" and was eating alone. It was my first time, and I felt insecure, but the service was on point and I felt so relaxed and wasn't embarrassed for too long. It was nice hearing the live music and enjoying the nice mist machines. I definitely recommend this place. In the future I hope to host a celebration here. read more

A fantastic combination of Armenian, Mediterranean and original cuisine, while they have unforgettable steaks, one can write endlessly about the taste of the food of this restaurant, the atmosphere in the restaurant is the most pleasant and of course the jazz and violin are simply masterful, excellent service, thank you very much, see you in the New Year read more

The Stage - Present from Chef ‍ - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

This is a magical find! Just across the street from the Springfield hotel in Burbank, this restaurant drew me in for both lunch and a repeat visit for dinner. This is al fresco dining at its best. A fountain bubbles at the entrance. Twenty-foot tall bougainvilleas arch overhead, carefully-coppiced trees provide shade from the Californian summer sun, and woven rope dividers separate tables with love seats. We had the Baja Tacos Trinity, with black code, tiger shrimp, and a fresh mango salsa. This was beautifully-presented and brimming over, with a fresh crisp house salad with sun-dried peppers, a subtle blue cheese, and a perfect light amount of tangy vinaigrette. We also had the Cajun Shrimp Jambalaya, which came with tiger shrimp, andouille sausage on linguine. We finished lunch with their cheesecake, served with fresh blueberries and raspberries. Service was warm and authentic, and we particularly appreciated meeting the chef, Pedro, and Alfredo, who are both rightfully-proud of this seven-year old restaurant. I returned for dinner, where I had a perfectly-prepared thin crust margherita pizza from their wood-fired oven. I was entranced by the lights in the greenery and the live music on the stage in the corner. The atmosphere was sophisticated, Latin, and simply enchanting. This would be an incredible restaurant for a first date. This will be a mandatory stop for me every time I'm passing through Burbank. Highly recommended! read more

Honestly, been here many times and every time I am blown away. Love the ambience, the service, and the music. Edgar, our waiter was by far the best! Incredibly professional, welcoming, and friendly. However, the food is my favorite. The food is amazing. They have a very large menu that accommodates for very kind palate, including my picky teenagers. You won't regret for sure unless you're looking for a reason to complain. Will always be my favorite spot for every occasion. read more

This might be the worst restaurant I have ever been to in my life. Oh my. Where do I even begin. We had made a reservation and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, after being seated we waited 15 minutes before anyone even approached us. When someone comes, he said did you guys get helped yet we said no. He said "ok what do you want to order" in the most unamused way possible. No hi welcome, nothing. Just what do you want. Really? We wait 15 minutes for someone to ask what we want? Maybe some water?!?!? As we are sitting here waiting and nobody even asks what drink we want? What the heck? My friend tried to order prosecco which it is listed on their menu. The server say they don't have that... She points it out and he condescendingly says no we don't have it. Our fried calamari came in a good time and I would say it's the only decent thing we had in our experience. Nothing to write home about, just decent. This server never came back. A new server came and took our order, and after that he never came back to check on us either. Needless to say, the service was legitimately NONEXISTENT. Nobody ever came around to ask how the food is, if they can bring us another drink, more water, nothing. It got to the point where we got up and went the hostess twice to ask for stuff because both our servers were MISSING IN ACTION. It's okay though, because they were so incredibly rude and you could tell they didn't want to serve you. You work for a tip, or you don't get one. Simple. Before we ordered a dessert, we ask for a manager. Manager comes, he is an absolute piece of work. Barely speaks English first off, second off, we complain and he does nothing other than say he'll talk to the chef. We explain that our steaks were both over-cooked, and he questioned us. Excuse me? What kind of customer service questions and dismissed a customer's complaint? He should have at least comped us for a coffee or something. He did nothing for us but be rude just like his jackaroony employees. I would have never expected that from a manager. He completely did not care about our experience and did nothing to solve the situation. Both of our steaks were over-cooked and we asked for one to be medium and the other medium-well. Both of these were exactly the same. Plate was cold, steak overcooked. By the way, the one we ordered was the "Steak Au Poivre" which I highly recommend AGAINST. Absolutely INCOMPOTENT person and EXTREMELY rude. He needs a lesson on customer service along with the rest of his low-life staff. At the end, we are again waiting and waiting for a check that simply won't come. Why? Because our server(s) are missing the entire time we were here. So, again, I get up and go to the hostess and tell her Our server isn't coming and we want the check. She goes inside, and I can see the server was just chilling inside not doing anything. She stands next to him and runs the card. Him and her stand inside laughing(you can see through the window). As a customer, I am absolutely appalled by this behavior. You are so lazy and don't do your job that I need to get up on my own accord to get a hold of the check, and YOU have the balls to laugh at me?!?!? They were inside glanced at me, and laughed. Shame on you you low lives. The host brings me the check, because the server isn't man enough to come and bring it to me face to face. This is the most appalling experience I have ever had in my life. Worst customer service from everyone in the chain: hostess, server, manager. All of you are mean, condescending, and do not deserve ANYBODY'S service. I don't think anyone at any restaurant has been as rude and dismissive as the employees and management here. Hey manager, accept the fact that your restaurant and employees are terrible. Oh also, we look inside and two chefs were not wearing masks whatsoever. These people are cooking your food! Serious health code violations. I sincerely hope the Health department comes and shuts this nasty place down. In fact, you better believe I'm going to call and complain myself. Get it together man! That's disgusting!!!! I left with a tummy ache and depression. Shame shame shame on this place. Absolute trash run this place. read more

Came here for a team lunch to celebrate a co-workers baby shower. They were able to give us a private outside area in the back. It was a bit dark and they only were able to put the lights on for a short period. When we asked why they turned off the lights, they told us because they were doing work on the roof. Seems like a weird time to do the work when we had reservations for the space weeks in advance. The food was quite good. They are $19 lunch specials that were very tasty. I had a steak sandwich that had some good flavor and was very filling. The folks who had the soup as a started said that it was very good, but it came in a very small cup. I had the salad, and it was quite good. Not drenched in dressing and was great. This was the perfect location to have a small baby shower. It was not crowded, service was fine, but not overly attentive. It did take a while to get the bill and pay. Overall, it was a good lunch and glad that we went to try it out. I would happily return here for lunch or dinner for the food. Glad that we found this hidden spot! read more

Today we ate our last meal at The Stage. Like many before us we hoped the entire experience would match the lovely surroundings, but we will no longer reward BAD/nonexistent service. read more

Great place great food!! The ambiance is awesome and very lively. Open space with alot of food options!

Ambiance is funky and inviting... we were there about 2PM on a Wednesday and only one other guest when we arrived. Food was very good, we were excited to discover this great place... then, Meals weren't served at same time... okay, no problem, iced tea was very weak, I asked for a REFILL. Instead of pouring more tea, server brought me whole new glass and I poured half into my husband's glass. When bill came $15 was charged for 3 glasses of iced tea. I tried to explain to the server that I should have been advised that refills were not offered, TERRIBLE response on her part. She argued that it was a whole new glass, so of course it costs $5... I tried to explain what refill meant and it made no difference to her. I paid the bill, left poor tip which is so unlike me as I usually leave 20-25%! So sad... loved it except for her attitude! I've been in customer service my entire life...I would NEVER have lost a client or their potential word of mouth for $5 worth of colored water! read more

I always pass this place when I go to IKEA in Burbank. I always hear live music when I pass by and decided to give it a try. The place looks okay, but the live music ambience is really nice for a date night or a chill dinner. The food is okay. Their steak is good and their Thai Eggplant Salad is very good. The pizza was fine. HOWEVER, I am DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED with the service here. There was a young lady who was our server but NEVER recommended the specials, certain dishes to try, or even check up on our table. At the end, the older gentleman who kindly approached our table decided to take over our table and served us WONDERFULLY. I have mixed views on the place. Until they fix their service, might not return. read more

I had a lovely and delicious lunch here. I was a guest of someone and had not known about this place and will now highly recommend it. It's tucked away on a busy street and you'd never expect that the ambiance is calming and pretty. But it really is. There were 8 of us, and the service was quick and the waiter personable. The cocktail menu was limited but we didn't care. Wine, margaritas and delicious food set "The Stage" There is lots of space as well if you wanted to host a party. A+ read more

Wow, a hidden gem in Burbank! This place is beautiful with garden style open space scenery and private parking right next to the restaurant. The restaurant has several seating areas and well spaced out. The food was delicious! The 3 bbq skewers came with 3 different sauces and they were all flavorful. The shrimp jambalaya has the right amount of spice and the pasta is plentiful. The salmon is cooked to perfection as well as the asparagus. Calamari is crispy and not salty which is perfect. Creme brûlée so yummy and not too sweet. Everything was freshly grilled and cooked. All the food brought out to our table were steaming hot which is how we like them. Our server Beverly was great and courteous. She apologized several times for the wait with the food, dessert and getting the bill. We understand as they are so understaffed and she was the only server the day we visited. We will definitely be back as we like the ambiance but most importantly the delicious food. read more

The Stage - Birthday cheesecake - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

I have been to The Stage a few times before and my experiences have been overall pleasant. I have been here for a few parties and their food and presentation has been top notch. In terms of sit-down meals, I have also enjoyed their food. Their patio is beautiful and a great place to come have a date at. I recently had their steak au poivre and it was very delicious! They have a diverse menu and their prices are decent for the quality of food you get. Service was slow the last time I came by, but it has overall been good. read more

Terrible service. They were not busy at all, yet the server hardly ever checked on our table. We had to go find him (on his phone in a corner) multiple times to ask for more drinks. Food was ok but not worth the price in my opinion. read more

I came here with a few friends for a nice night out. We ended up just ordering the tiramisu for dessert and talking. Our tiramisu was all right. It wasn't the best. For one every single one of us that took a bite of the tiramisu ended up coughing because they sprinkled a ridiculous amount of powder on the dessert and the slightest inhalation made you cough. We just ended up taking smaller bites and held our breaths which was not very enjoyable. This place is very romantic and the decor is fabulous. This is definitely a place to take a date. I probably would come back but be sure to bring money, a lot of their menu items are very upscale and aren't cheap. read more

The Stage - Tiramisu - Mediterranean Near Me - Burbank, California

Had lunch there at noon time on Saturday and was told we can only order from a list of maybe 10 items off their menu. They said that they had a party of 100 and that our food would take long if we try to order an entrée. Then ordered a glass of red wine and pointed to the name of the wine for the server and he said OK and then brought me a glass of white wine. When I told him I showed him them when I wanted he said he thought I was talking about the white glass of wine since the one I want it was a full bottle and it was over $200. The food was OK at best. read more

This was more of a 3.5 star experience but I rounded up because everything was fresh and looked beautiful, including the patio area that we were allowed to dine in. Pros: *Has a patio which is now open for dining in during the pandemic *Patio is stunning and offers both sunny and shady spots, and additionally provides privacy for all guests because of the vines growing on the fence surrounding the property *Lunch menu has pizza, pasta, and sandwich options that all sound yummy and includes one of three sides for a decent price *Salad was fresh, dressing was delicious, steak on the steak pizza was cooked well and had no tough pieces, pizza dough not too crunchy or soft and had right amount of salt Cons: *Server wasn't clear about costs We asked for a drink menu and the server brought out bottled still water and said, "All we have is (murmured something)." I thought he said the name of the bottled water and was asking if it was okay that they could only offer bottled water so I said sure. He then brings out two carbonated drinks that taste like cranberry, and when I asked what it was he repeated whatever word he mumbled before, so then I understood he wasn't asking if it was okay for us to have the bottled waters but was it okay for both of us to have the only drink they are offering right now. That was not clear and was an additional $20 charge. While I should have asked him to repeat/explain what he was asking me, he should have clarified how many drinks we wanted, and also probably should have told us/asked if we were okay with bottled water, because that was an additional ~$6 charge. We chose this place because they had a reasonably priced lunch menu...we didn't expect to leave paying $33 each. *Although the steak and crust of the pizza were good, the cheese became overwhelming by the time I finished half. It's very pungent. Because we were staying in a hotel, I didn't want to keep leftovers or waste food, so I had to force myself to eat two of the slices. This is probably just personal preference (not sure if this is a good flavor combination for anyone), but my recommendation is that you don't order the steak pizza unless you really like blue cheese, or unless you aren't planning to eat the whole thing yourself. Overall, I would still return to try other options, but the rest of their menu is pretty pricey and out of the range I'm willing to pay for this kind of food. If I lived nearby, I could see myself coming here often for lunch and trying all of their lunch items. Probably wouldn't spend $30 on three skewers any time soon. read more

The lobster pasta was incredible!!! Had the margarita pizza...also amazing! Service is just slow, and the performers never play on time read more

To start off, this place really is only there for the ascetics. The service was lack luster and the food was just plain and bland. When we tried to tell the servers feed back or any cretic, they simply brushed it off and said we don't understand you or looked offended. They also didn't try to fix any issues. They also only checked in to take an order and 20mins after serving the food. Even with our plates still full. This place was a waste of time and efforts. I normally don't leave reviews but this place made me create an account to leave one. Left the restaurant with an empty stomach just like when we came in. read more
