We love coming to Stage, especially Amuse- wine bar side. The food is always amazing, drinks delicious, and service is always impeccable. We love it so much that we decided to have our wedding reception here! So if considering for any kind of private event, please read on... We Highly recommend. We booked a private event in their Cupola Gallery and absolutely loved the entire experience. They allowed us to come in the evening before to add our own decorations, which we were so grateful for. We didn't have time to decorate on the day of the event, and this meant we didn't need to hire someone to do it for us. They worked closely with us on our beverage menu and were happy to accommodate specific cocktails, as well as welcome drinks served to guests upon arrival. That level of flexibility and collaboration was so appreciated. The food was phenomenal. We ordered three appetizers for a self-serve station--fried cauliflower, French fries, and Korean fried chicken--and all of them were outstanding. It tasted exactly as good as it does when dining in the restaurant. For dinner, we chose the three-course tasting menu from their event packet, with guest selections of miso salmon, NY steak, or vegetable pasta. The steak was incredibly tender, the salmon was perfectly cooked, and everything exceeded our expectations. Dinner included a starter salad, and dessert was the third course. Instead of plated service, the cheesecakes were displayed on our dessert table alongside additional cakes we ordered for a self-serve dessert station. We ordered three quarter-sheet cakes--strawberry shortcake, lilikoi, and vanilla buttercream--and they were so delicious we honestly wish we had ordered more. The staff was amazing throughout the event. Service was timely and thoughtful, and our main server, Crystal, was incredibly attentive to both us and our guests. Even though this is not a traditional wedding venue, we felt completely taken care of. For example, when the self-serve appetizers came out, they brought my husband and me our own pre-made plates to make sure we were eating too. They also packed up cakes in to-go boxes for us when our guests did the same, so we wouldn't miss out. If a guest tried to order something not included on our menu, the staff was happy to accommodate--but always checked with us first. We also want to give a huge shoutout to Joy, the sous chef and our main contact for the event. She was incredible from our very first emails through the night of the event. She was responsive, helpful, full of great ideas, and genuinely invested in making our night special. Many of the ideas she suggested were things we ended up using, and our event truly wouldn't have been the same without her. Our guests were talking about the food, drinks, and the space for days after the event. We were so extremely satisfied that we're already talking about what other types of events we can host here--we'd do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you're considering a private dining event, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, birthday party, or reunion, this is absolutely the place to do it. Incredible food, a beautiful space, and truly wonderful people. read more
