The appetizer I ordered was particularly noteworthy. I ordered the octopus leg which was a great way to start the meal. The tender leg paired with a salad drizzled with balsamic vinegar dressing was slightly acidic, creating a unique flavor.

For entrees, the seafood options were excellent. I ordered the blackened salmon and shrimp etouffee. The salmon was cooked to perfection and melted instantly in my mouth. Additionally, the asparagus that came with the salmon was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp etouffee was hardy. The shrimp had a satisfying snap when biting into them and when coupled with the dirty rice, it was mouthwatering. The restaurant offers a range of cooking styles, from traditional grilling to more experimental methods, and the chefs are able to accommodate any dietary restrictions or preferences. 

Overall, Stäge Kitchen & Bar is a fantastic restaurant that offers a great dining experience.
