Stage Left is always a top spot for us. We have been going there for 25 years! We started with the wagyu tartare, it was unbelievable! We split a Caesar salad, and a dry aged Porterhouse. Definitely the best spot for a great steak in New Brunswick. Finished up with there wonderful bread pudding and an espresso martini. Again, everything was incredible!

Servers were too busy serving the upstairs restaurant to pay any mind to my table down below. Waited an hour for any food to arrive at the table and was served a raw burger. Steaks were delicious.

Great selection of steaks. Ribeye special was excellent. Large portion of filet with the 3 sauces sampler entree. Option to also order from the Catherine Lombardi Italian menu. Roast beef sandwich appetizer was excellent! Delicious cheesecake dessert. Service was outstanding! Owner stopped by to check on our experience. Very nice touch. Overall highly recommended.
