Stages at One Washington

"In one word, Stages is AMAZING! If you appreciate a perfectly crafted experience for your evening out, this is the place for you. From the moment you walk into the living room/entry area, you are transported to a sophisticated yet relaxed environment where each course will excite your senses. Appetizers and drinks while seated on the comfortable and retro couches is followed by a multicourse extravaganza at the intimate kitchen table overlooking the artists as they prepare the meal. Mocktail menu is on point! The best non-alcoholic beverages I have had. Don't worry about deciding what you want to eat, they make all of the decisions for you. All you need to bring is an open mind and a healthy appetite!"

"Had a great dining experience here at the 6 person chefs table. With about 9 courses in total each course tasted delicious and unique in their own way. In particular the butter poached scallops and the hen of the woods mushrooms we loved. The latter you could smell and taste to coal it was cooked on. Can’t forget the dessert which was oyster ice cream with caviar (among other flavors) So different but so delicious. It was a cool fall day in New Hampshire the night we went, and the food really complimented that feeling. Drink wise we went the a la carte method, with a mix of wine and cocktails. The sommelier was very knowledgeable and she helped us pair our meals. The group next to us got the wine pairing which also seemed like a nice experience. They also have a cocktail pairing which we might try next time. Overall the chefs table experience is a fun one because we love to see how our food is prepared and crafted. The chefs worked so well together, and carefully explained each course to us. They were happy to answer questions if we had them. This is a fine dining experience, but also casual at the same time. You never feel awkward or like you’ll get yelled at if you use the wrong fork. The staff is easy going, and meanwhile you are tasting some of the best food available in New England. Sometimes the portions might look small, but they add up. We left very full, but wanting more! Note: we missed a few of the courses pictured, we were too excited to eat them."

"Food has been a hobby my wife and I have always shared. We came here on our 1 year anniversary looking for a very special food experience with the tasting menu. Beyond that, we had no idea what to expect. We were surprised with the homey, comforting, calm, and casual feel the restaurant and staff showed. It was obvious that making anybody feel welcome is part of the philosophy here. The food and drink was absolutely stunning. Each dish, wine pairing, and cocktail really demanded our attention with flavors and combinations we've never tried. We enjoyed how lovingly the chef focused on vegetables and mushrooms, making them the stars of the meal. The last three courses in particular wowed us, tying together sweet and savory components in shocking ways. My personal favorite was the mushroom madeleines with aerated brie and honey. It was one of the most incredible foods I've ever eaten and I've been craving since the moment I finished it! We can't wait to return and have a few of our favorite dishes again in The Living Room."

"One of the best fine-dining restaurants in New Hampshire. The food is comforting yet creative! Caviar and coffee ice cream with candied celery leaves? - it was amazing and so fun! The staff was very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend the chef's table and if I lived closer I would have cocktails and play games in the Living Room weekly!"

"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."
