We had a wonderful lunch at The Stage Restaurant in Keene! The atmosphere was classy but comfortable — upscale without feeling stuffy. The food was absolutely top-notch.
We started with the fried Brussels sprouts, which were so good! The maple aioli that came with them was a match made in heaven — I even asked for extra so I could dip my sweet potato fries in it later.
My husband ordered the Nouveau Burger, cooked to perfection, and I had the fish sandwich with those amazing fries. Everything was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented.
The service and overall vibe made it such a great experience. We left full and happy, and we’re already looking forward to going back!

Absolutely amazing food. I had the shrimp scampi app which was so flavorful in the perfect way and it came with really good garlic bread that was great to dip in the scampi sauce. Then the fish sandwich was so flaky and also flavorful. Only tip would be to ask for tartar sauce on it/in the side.
Side note, I went on a weekend and they only serve apps, salads, and sandwiches for lunch. After 3pm, they add more entrees to the menu so plan accordingly for what you are looking for. They also have outdoor and indoor seating which is really nice!

I absolutely love this restaurant in Downtown Keene NH. I ordered the Lamb Tagine and it was fantastic. Generous portion and incredibly delicious. Cocktails here are awesome too. On a business trip this is my go to place. Jozie Bartender was fantastic and made me feel so welcome as always.

Last week was the first time visiting the The Stage. I planned a bachelorette party for 12. The dinner was excellent, the service beyond reproach and the drinks were tasty. Every member of our group was impressed with the food quality which rivaled 5 star restaurants in larger cities like NY, San Diego and Chicago. Keene has a treasure in The Stage.

First time here [couldn’t get in last time it was packed] and it was a great lunch. Eclectic menu with something for all. The menu is full of their own twists on some classic dishes like Poké Bowl and Gyro.

Five stars for the amazing Braised Short Rib! This dish was the definition of comfort food excellence. The meat was unbelievably tender, falling apart with the touch of a fork. The star, though, was the deep, dark, and perfectly reduced braising sauce—it was a complex, savory reduction that coated the meat beautifully. Paired with the creamy and well-seasoned mashed potatoes, this was a truly memorable plate. Highly recommend!

Everything about Stage is wonderful, the staff, the drinks, the food.
The bloody mary was amazing, try it with Absolute Pepper! Lime in the coconut was also so good I had to have a second. We all had burgers, delicious! The location is great too, really nice area.

A bit pricey for what I’m used too but the place was great. Good people, nicely spaced apart, where we sat atleast. My mother is handicapped and without asking the waitress accommodated her which was nice. It can be embarrassing at times to be asked the obvious and for her to feel welcomed and comfortable was awesome. We had a cpl drinks 2 soups and some burgers the bill was a bit over $200.00. The drinks were ok, food was great. But I think 200 for 4 ppl is a bit much. If you have it to spend, try it out, it was definitely worth going! They have inside outside dining and on the side of the building was a GORGEOUS ally way they made into seating. Check out the pictures or not guess I can’t post pics? So cute, so Keene!
