What a cool dining experience. If you are a foodie and are an adventurous eater this is the place for you. There are many small courses to try and all are excellent. Everything is made and plated in front of you as you sit at the kitchen. There is no choice of meals as you eat what the chef makes. I will definitely go again.
I highly recommend both the dinning experience and the attached lounge! The dinning experience is truly like having a private chef for the night since there are only enough seats for 6 guests. It was so much fun trying to guess what chef Hennessey was cooking (and usually be incorrect, but pleasantly surprised). The combination of unique, local flavors was just fantastic.
As far as the lounge goes, Bernadette makes the most spectacular mocktails (something I have been struggling to find). She really puts great passion in what she does to rival chef Hennessey, and it shows. The inventive mocktails (definitely loved the surprise ones), combined with the delicious small plates from Hennessey’s kitchen in a very relaxed atmosphere makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!
After seeing Chef Hennessey win on Chopped, I decided to take my husband to Stages for his birthday. It was such a pleasurable experience and very intimate, as we sat right at the kitchen and enjoyed watching and chatting with Chef Evan and his assistant. All I can say is wow! Just absolutely fantastic cuisine! Likely some of the best I've ever had in my life. All fresh, local ingredients, with such creativity and exquisite presentation. You never know what you are going to get, but fortuitously, Chef Hennessey served my husband's favorite, Prime Rib! So savory, cooked to perfection! We loved it all, every bite and every sip. Thank you, we will be back!
