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!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

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.
