My wife and I have been to Stage several times, and the experience is magical... (wait for it)... every time. Initially, we came here for our wedding anniversary dinner a year ago and have returned for more culinary goodness ever since.
My wife had heard about Stage from a hair stylist we both used at the time. A few months passed before we finally visited the restaurant that combines various culinary influences, such as Indian, with a tapas approach. Located in the same plaza as Twisted Trunk Brewing on the south side of PGA Boulevard and the east side of the Intercoastal, Stage Kitchen & Bar has both inside and outside seating, with the bar area being a wonderfully designed set-up.
The crafter cocktails are supreme, depending on what your preference is. If you prefer more of a whiskey-based drink, the Blac Gold Fashioned will satisfy you with its use of Braulio, coffee, and orange saccharum. If you prefer fruitier gin-based imbibements, the "Palm Beach Problems" and the Go-Man-Go should please you immensely. Both cocktails are refreshing and delicious, with the former more citrusy with grapefruit, watermelon, and rosemary ginger, while the latter is a sweet blast of mangoes, lemongrass, and turmeric. The Hot & Bothered can undoubtedly do that between the ghost pepper tequila that makes up the base with a pepper garnish for the spice that matches the sweetness of the guava and agave. And if you have an after-dinner drink, "Our" Espresso Martini is certainly decadent with the coffee liqueur and gorgeous vanilla macaron.
If you're gluten-free, then you're in luck, as myriad options are available based on what you're in the mood to enjoy. Oysters half dozen always satisfy, especially with their use of turmeric and truffle, while the butter chicken masala is both tree-nut, gluten-free, and incredibly tasty. "Our" Smoked Fish Dip is good with its freshly made corn tortilla chips, while the Masala Dosa is a delicious tapas dish.
The ultimate standout, whether you're gluten-free or not, is the "Our" Fried Chicken that is so tantalizingly delicious and savory between the gluten-free batter and fried to perfection, its use of spices and served on a malvani coconut curry and lime sauce. We always order our own to enjoy ourselves since we never seem to want to share because it's so good.
If you do eat gluten, there are plenty of options available. The grilled oysters are amazing, between the chorizo butter and herbed panko cooked to perfection. The garlic naan you can't go wrong with ordering as it's wickedly divine. Dessert-wise, the sticky toffee date cake and macarons are fabulous that help conclude the meal wondrously.
They offer lunch, dinner, and brunch, so the opportunities to enjoy Stage are endless and always appealing.
