Had such a great dinner at The Stegmaier!
We ordered the scallops, meatballs, pork chop, and New York strip and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The Cosmopolitan and Old Fashioned were both really well made too.
The ambiance was beautiful, the mansion itself is stunning, and the service was strong and attentive. It’s a really lovely spot for a date night or special event like anniversary or birthday. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely incredible. Was referred by a friend and even their overwhelming applause of this place was nothing compared to the actual experience. The mansion was stunning the service was top tier the pianist set the mood beautifully. The food was so delicious I wanted to try everything. I went with a party and managed to try a variety But I’m definitely coming back for more. This by far was an evening I won’t forget and am returning for their brunch as well.

In the heart of Wilkes-Barre’s historic district, this mansion successfully fuses a Victorian-era immersion with a fine dining experience.
Firstly, the new ownership has maintained full functionality of the house while refurbishing it to the rightful era of the building. No modernity besides lighting, HVAC, and plumbing (not even a television). There are three floors of beautiful wood carving details and grandious architecture that leave you in wonder. Although impressive in its captivating artisanship, one thing that damaged the atmosphere was the music. They played classical renditions of pop songs. A meager attempt for fancy and modern, but not on brand. Play Wagner, at least for Sunday brunch! Otherwise, I appreciate their work in keeping this building historically sound.
Secondly, the dining experience for brunch taylored a simple menu with nuanced decadance. I had the lobster omelette, which my only gripe was blandness of the meal. Just lobster inside an egg. It needed a sauce or seasoning.
The service was great, as they were quick, kind and impressionable. They also invite you to tour the mansion and enjoy the historical value of the place.
In all our experience here has been good, and we are excited to try the dinner, which I feel will bestow their fifth star.

What a hidden jem in the city. Amazing architecture, service, food and drinks. We had dinner here for the first time and will definitely be visiting again shortly.
Excellent service food and drinks. Staff were fabulous and on top of their game. Food was fantastic, service was the best!

This is a beautiful mansion. You can have dinner then take a self guided tour of all 3 floors. The service and food are exceptional. It’s pricey but we’ll worth it. Can’t wait to come back.

We went for dinner for my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. Everything was extraordinary; service, atmosphere and food. The staff were incredible; Sara (sp?) was exceptional. Thank you for making this a wonderful evening to celebrate our parents.

We went to the Stegmaier two nights ago and we were blown away by the entire experience. The food, the atmosphere, the staff, and beverages each merit 10/10 on their own. In prior years, the Stegmaier had been open as a private event venue, but 6 weeks ago they opened a restaurant.
When we approached the beautiful mansion, we were greeted by someone offering complimentary valet. As we were walking up the wide steps to the entrance of this grand home, we began to feel that this may be a special night. Once inside, our host greeted us and took us to our table. The home is restored to its period opulence. We sat in the solarium, which has a stained glass window ceiling. It is a breathtaking room to dine in and we were told that there is only one of two rooms like this in the world.
Our waitress, Flora, was wonderful. She was well versed in the menu and was able to make great wine pairing suggestions. I find that sometimes at other fancy restaurants, there can be a stuffiness from waitstaff, but that was not the case here. Flora was extremely professional, yet we felt like we were ordering from an old friend. I mean this in the best way.
We started with bread service for $6 per person and we were not disappointed. You are brought an olive oil dipping sauce and a honey & mustard, whipped butter concoction that is to die for. Your bread butler (yes, you heard right, you have a bread butler) brings you a variety of 3 different, freshly baked breads that are served warm, directly from the oven. Your bread butler returns throughout the meal to tempt you with more warm bread. The biggest problem with the bread service is that you might eat so much bread that you won’t have room for all of the other delicious possibilities that await you.
The menu is small, but is very well thought through. There is variety and something for everyone. Entrees include pasta, steaks, chicken, seafood and vegan dish. The menu isn’t overly complicated or gimmicky. At the same time, we found that every dish was beautifully presented, executed perfectly, and that each dish had that special tweak to make the dish stand out as something extraordinary.
Dishes ranged from excellent to the sublime. In the sublime category, we would put the gnocchi appetizer, the goat cheese pistachio tart, Chilean sea bass, lemon lavender creme brulee, and key lime dessert special plus every cocktail we tried. As my entree, I was in the mood for something lighter and I chose the braised vegan lentil dish with carrots, which was delicious. Many restaurants avoid or throw a vegan option on a menu as an afterthought with no creativity or imagination, but this was not the case at the Stegmaier. If I had one criticism, it would be for a little bit less lentils and for another vegetable to be added to the dish or as a side.
We paid about $110 per person + tip, which included 2 cocktails, bread service (yes, you want to do this), an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Although a pricier option in this area, this meal rivaled some of the best dining experiences we have had in the world and it would have been considered a bargain if dining in a large city.
The night ended with a tour of the mansion and nightcap at their beautiful bar. I had their “box of chocolates” drink. Delicious! Angela was a great bartender. They have a small casual bar menu which includes a burger that the bartenders raved about. I definitely will be coming back to try that burger. We even met the gracious owners, John and Melissa and the head chef, Jared.
It was a special touch to have our car waiting out front when we walked outside, with our packaged leftovers already in our car.
This is a place for a special occasion, but it is so wonderful you will just want to make an excuse to celebrate with friends or loved ones on a regular Thursday night, just like we did. It is amazing to me that this place is only opened for 6 weeks, but operating flawlessly like it had been open for years. Make a reservation soon before it is too hard to get one. We can’t wait to go back!

I was blown away from the moment I walked up to the steps of the Stegmaier mansion. The attention to detail from the outside in was phenomenal. Our bartender was the sweetest and most attentive little gem! The food was mouthwatering and the presentation was outstanding. The cocktail menu was beyond my expectations, the drinks alone are worth the trip. Every sip I felt like I was whisked into the Victorian era, you feel like a queen. The general manager Brianna was so kind and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back soon to try more!

My friend and I decided to get together and we had a great dining experience! We were greeted at the valet and the front door! We sat in the front, to the left. Seating can be in the front to the left along with additional tables to right hand side as you walk into the back room which had stain glass windows and ceiling. We took a tour of the mansion , where you can have a private party or wedding in the event room upstairs. There were also two smaller rooms if you need a bridal suite or have a private party. Mr. Jay L. On the piano was a great addition to our dining experience. Wine and drink selection was great. Such an amazing venue with history and culture! Great Job!

The Stegmaier offers an unparalleled fine dining experience in Pennsylvania. The prime rib was cooked to perfection, and the tableside Caesar salad was a delicious masterpiece. Every detail, from the exquisite food to the unique cocktails and beautiful ambiance, contributed to an unforgettable evening. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a truly exceptional experience. We are already looking forward to hosting our Christmas party here!
