Wow wow wow I only have so many ways to say phenomenal! The steak was soft and absolutely delicious, the table top cooking on the salt block was a very unique experience. We had the trio to be able to taste the chefs sauces of the day, each of them was fantastic. Our little charcuterie board had cheese I will dream about. The staff were all very kind and attentive. The house made Limonchello was delightful. We finished the night with cheesecake and fresh, warm white chocolate macadamia cookies with sea salt, omggg so delicious. Please go. Everything **Culinary masterpieces** Try it, be adventurous you absolutely won’t be disappointed

Stage Left & Catherine Lombardi are both top notch. The food is amazing and the service is outstanding. They go above and beyond. From the owners visiting every table to the attention to detail by every one of their staff members. They will always be our “go to” for special occasions and any time our budget allows.

So good that we had our wedding here!! The service, food and ambiance has always been top notch, so instead of planning a complicated wedding with lots of moving parts including food vendors coming to us, we decided to cut out all the extra steps and have it at a restaurant. They were so wonderful and accommodating, especially Julie (their event person). Their wonderful help and kindness took so much stress out of my big day and everything went off without a hitch. So incredibly thankful for everything they did for us!

Dined at Stage Left last night for the 1st time, although have dined at Catherine Lombardi’s numerous times (special occasions, mostly)
Went specifically for the Miracle Bar (1st time) AND to have dinner with friends to kick-off the Christmas season.
The Christmas-themed drinks were great.
The soup of the day was Butternut Squash and was OUTSTANDING.
Marc and Francis were present and actively ensuring our Miracle Bar and Dinner experience was the level of service and quality that we anticipated. Their personal involvement in us was greatly appreciated.

I live roughly a seven and a half hour one way drive from the restaurant. So I only visit three times a year.
The experence is always one that brings me joy. The staff, menu, cocktails and wine list reflect the love of food and hospitality that the owners have brought to New Brunswick for over 30 years.
Real passion and joy for serving others can not be faked. Check out the pod cast “the restaurant guys” to experence this passion, while you plan your next visit.
Ok. On to the food.
This a a specific focus on a specialty appetizer that is not always on the menu. The caviar.
Over the past few years, I have had three different opportunities to enjoy this delightful pop of flavor.
Stage Left sources the caviar, serving Imperia Osetra Caviar. The presentation is classical in its simplicity, chopped egg, and red onion highlighted by handmade fresh waffle crisps.
Honestly, the crisps alone are worth the drive.
Together as a single bite the richness of the hard-boiled egg, the sharpness of the red onion with the snap of the crisp provides such a contrast to the salty sweet pop of the caviar that it is a unimaginable to enjoy it any other way.
Rarely, will all of the components of a dish work so perfectly together to stand so far above their base flavors.
This is what I have come to expect from the team at Stage Left, the aroma, flavor and texture come together to be so remarkable, I will have conversations and dreams of the dish for months to come.
With joy,

I ate so much food that I haven’t felt this way since being 9 months pregnant from carrying my last child. Everything was amazing, even the simple baked potato. Favorites included the goat cheese tea sandwiches, the summer salad burrata, the Australian wagyu and the giant salt blocks were sooo much fun. Also loved the genuine optimism of the staff, what a fantastic way to celebrate an anniversary dinner!

We had a wonderful experience! Everything we tried was delicious. I had the Stuffed mushrooms and a perfectly cooked steak with three incredible sauces, paired with truffle fries and wine—an amazing combination. I always judge a restaurant by the quality of their bread, and theirs was excellent

For me, the only thing that kept me from giving this restaurant five stars was that my food was served lukewarm and a lot less flavorable than I thought it would be. However, the dessert was amazing. Lastly, those that dine here should know that it is a la carte.

We made a reservation many weeks in advance, arrived on time and were told our table was getting ready. The space is small, nowhere to stand, we had to wait for over 15 minutes in the way of guests and staff trying to get through, super uncomfortable. I had to ask for status updates was told 3 minutes this was not true. We went to Esquina Latina down the street, had a great meal! Definite sour taste and would not consider coming back to Stage Left after the treatment we received tonight.

Great mixologist bar… they really know their stuff. The burger is way above average, an experience with true pommes frites.
