"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. 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." - virginia otazo, katie walsh, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"Formerly from Niven Patan’s Ghee Indian Kitchen, chef Pushkar Marathe has created a loyal following in Palm Beach Gardens with his exceptional globally inspired cuisine with Indian flair. Try the spicy tuna bomb (semolina puri, spicy soy, green goddess, and avocado), chicken liver pate with grilled bread, or duck confit rolls for game-changing starters before diving into main courses like wood-grilled Spanish octopus (with marble potatoes, kaffir lime, and green apple nuoc cham, a Vietnamese dipping sauce) or prime short rib with bone marrow korma and rice grits. There is a long list of vegetable dishes to enhance the meals. Lover’s of the Old Fashioned cocktail, take note, the cocktail here is worth the drive alone." - Alona Martinez
"Semifinalist for the Best Chef: South award, represented by Pushkar Marathe." - Olee Fowler
