"When you need a restaurant for a big group of co-workers you want to impress (and don’t mind sharing plates with) or a birthday party when you’re trying to get two completely different friend groups to talk to one another, go to Stage Kitchen. It’s the kind of place where cocktails come in IV bags—which Dale from accounting will get an absolute hoot out of. But food is the most interesting and fun part of the restaurant. Stage’s menu spans a variety of cuisines, with dishes ranging from coconut-y bibimbap and lychee ceviche to extremely well-seasoned southern fried chicken. It’s a global collection of dishes, but the foundation of the food is unmistakably Indian. So lean into the imaginative array of dips, chutneys, naan, and paratha. photo credit: Libby Vision" - Katie Walsh
