I had an unreal experience here, 1st time visiting Victoria and Stage did not disappoint. The food is everything I love in a great meal, simple quality ingredients properly executed, no smoke and mirrors. Great hospitality from the two servers on that night, both of them busy but I never felt like I wasn't taken care of. I cannot wait to visit again, this is the kind of place I would like to see more of in the restaurant scene. Hats off to Stage

Dinner and drinks at Stage are always a unique experience. The menu, both drinks and food, are an opportunity for the diner to suspend belief and opinion, placing their experience in the hands of the chef and dedicated service staff. As always, we selected our top choices from the food menu and selected our first cocktail. Everything else was a catered experience, perfectly pairing our glasses of wine with the courses of food, which were thoughtfully timed and brought out in perfect pairs. We always enjoy our experience at our favourite neighbourhood haunt, and today was no different. Not one to leave a regular Google review, but this stop deserves to be on every local foodie’s “must hit” list. Thrilled to have chef Mathew Finn back. Can’t wait for many more excellent dining experiences. Cheers the entire crew for their dedication and amazing recommendations.

This is the most disappointing meal we have ever had on this island, we came to this restaurant with high expectations, the vibe of the restaurant is pretty good, it the food is incomprehensible, we ordered feast set meal for 5 people, because the server said this is chef's choice, if we are very hungry, we can try it.First, we got three pieces of burned bread and two kinds of cheese, and canned clams. The second dish was a plate of vegetable salad :)The third dish was a plate with two pieces of halibut, which tasted fine. When the fourth course two chocolate cake was served, we were shocked, paying $325 and getting this, After such an experience, we talked with server, he said about the price of the ingredients because of inflation, of course we know that everything is going up in price, but paying $325 for such 4 courses meal is unreasonable, I believe if we order all the food on the menu, it will not exceed this price.In the end, our discussion did not have any results. The server dropped a machine with amount and said if you don’t wanna pay the tips, that’s is fine. Horrible night.

Terrific food, amazing service, really nice ambiance. Great menu options. The bartender is very knowledgeable too, and offers lots of nice vermouth and absinthe cocktails. Highly recommend for a sophisticated night out!

We really enjoyed our dinner here and also top it with great glasses of wine. We picked chef choice dish. It turned out fantastic. Server super friendly. Parking was okay. A bit walking but best after dinner. Too much good food we needed to walk it off back to our car. We would definitely visit again in the future.

Fantastic, friendly service & a creative, fresh rotating menu - all in a gorgeous cosy setting. Portions were large & the chef's choice menu is awesome value for money.Don't let the few weird bad reviews sway you. They're a bunch of grumpy sods who probably didn't even dine at the same restaurant that the rest of us did! We were blown away by our recent dinner experience & will be returning again + again. Definitely make a reso in advance as they're popular!

Such an amazing place to explore new wines and dishes in an intimate space. I've found incredible new wines here and like to order dishes I'm unfamiliar/hesitant with (Who would have thought beef tongue and chicken hearts could be so delicious?!) The cheese portions are so big it seems crazy that they're able to make a profit on them. The only reason it's not 5 stars is I find the bread to be really dry and almost inedible. Maybe it was a fluke but it seriously stood out as being so bad which is disappointing from a French restaurant.

Coming back to this restaurant after a great first impression last trip. The food is so delicious here and the smell of the charred bread is divine. Our server, Anna, is so great! Love all her suggestions for food in both Victoria and Vancouver. She is also just super friendly to chat with. Lovely vibe as the evening progressed and had more people come in.
