About this business
Stage Left is an impressive American restaurant in New Brunswick that is known for its delicious food and its gala event space. It is a high end place with a uber-cool clientele. There is a dining area and a bar. One needs to book in advance for both as there is bound to be a waiting list. The menu is refreshingly local and contains simple stuff like Cornbread and Aztec Sauce, Beef Salad and Duck Confit Fingerling Potatoes. The decor is done up in style and is luxurious. It is a slightly pricey restaurant. Remember to dress ... read more

Visited this establishment for the first time and was very disappointed, actually walked out prior to the meal coming out. I was not sure if it was because of our appearance or diversity, but the service was slow compared to other couple and people seated after us, you could play baseball with the rolls served to us, as well as very cold attitude. I've dined at many establishments in the City of NY and have had wonderful experience, but thought about enjoying something local and was totally flabbergasted by the service. I ha... read more
Excellent food and ambience! – My husband surprised me with a romantic dinner there for our anniversary. I always wanted to go but it is not a cheap place. We normally never go to fancy places for dinner (especially in this economy). But my hubby wanted to do something special for our anniversary! I was very pleasantly surprised when he valet parked across the street at the Heldrige hotel and told me where we were going for dinner. We both loved it and hope to go back again for another special occasion.
Dinner was a Huge Hit! – My office mates and I recently celebrated the completion of a project with dinner at Stage Left. Could not have gone better! Great food - wonderful, discreet staff. The wine list was awesome - lot's of unique gems. We ended the night with Cigars and Port in the outdoor cafe. Great way to celebrate!
Elegant Dining in New Jersey – While I have had the pleasure of dining out in my travels until recently I had not had the opportunity to dine at Stage Left. I must say I am very pleased that I finally made my way to this destination restaurant as guests of another couple. It is rare in these times that you find a restaurant with true class. From the moment we walked in the door you could tell this was a restaurant run by professionals. Our server, Megan was warm, professional and very knowledgeable about each menu item. Whil... read more
Best Place for my Birthday – My family has been going to Stage Left for years and we just love it. I celebrated my 21st Birthday there because I could finally order off of their amazing wine list. I started with a shashimi style fluke with hazelnuts and a chili vingaigrette which was tdf! For my entree I enjoyed the Buttermilk poached chicken - If only my Mom could make chicken like this! Had a great time!!!
Great Business Dinner - Going Back – I recently was in New Brunswick on business and arranged to have a business dinner for about 15 people in Stage Left. I was pleasantly surprised when the upgraded our private room to the Wine Library. My boss was thrilled! This is a beautiful room. My boss loved the wine list and enjoyed selecting wine with the owner, Mark. We enjoyed an Italian Red and an Austrian Gruner Veltline (not sure of the exact wines). The wine complimented our meals very nicely. Service was great. The menu gave ... read more
Great Place for Special Occassions and Business Dinners – Recently visited Stage Left after not being there for awhile. Not disappointed. I've conducted business dinners there for groups in the past. The staft was always friendly and discreet. Food is fresh - they strive to use seasonal, local ingredients - and well prepared. This time I went to celebrate a friend's birthday and was blown away. Love the new steak menu - best steaik I've ever had. The wine list is great - lots of hidden gems and our server - Alex - was wonder... read more
I've always loved this restaurant – I've been dining here on business for years. I enjoy holding business dinners here and dine here socially as well. I enjoy the Chef's approach to food - using seasonal ingredients and local ingredients as often as possible. I find the staff to be very knowledgagable and accomodating. One of the few places in NJ where you can enjoy a cheese course (and I often do). Always look forward to dining here.
Avoid this trap – Avoid avoid avoid. Went with a friend to use a gift certificate. What a waste. First, the service. Indifferent, incompetent and amateurish. Food is pretentious and poorly prepared. For rare steak, for example, expect rubbery and salty. A 'special treat' is their eponymous 'pork roll'- if you don't feel like spending $16 on diner food, you could be forgiven. The preparations are extremely uninspired, and while the ingredients might sound elegant, the plates exiting this ktichen are oversalted, too sweet and ... read more
