Hidden yet heavenly, The Stage located in Burbank serves hunger-satisfying dishes that please customers.

Walking through the entrance of the restaurant makes one feel right at home. The exterior is quite pleasant. Placed in the center are the tables and chairs, and on the sides bright green bushes cover the sitting area that is located behind the bushes. Behind the bushes couches are placed where one can enjoy a cup of coffee or a sweet delight. There is also a band that begins playing relaxing, soothing music at 8 p.m.

On the right side of the restaurant is an area called Cloud Island, and it’s only for designated smokers. Throughout the restaurant are placed signs (similar to street signs) that are used to divide different areas. For instance, the path that leads to the restrooms is called Relief Road. Along with Relief Road is  also Discovery Way, Hideaway Path and Daydream Alley.

The cream of spinach is a delicious soup that is served with garlic bread to add flavor.

As for the food, it tastes amazing. One really unique dish is the steak on the stone. They bring you a wooden tray and a rectangular piece of stone is placed on the left side. The stone is hot and on the stone is placed a raw piece of meat. You cook the meat according to your liking. Along with the meat comes three small sized bowls of different dressings to dip the meat in with fried Brussels sprouts on the side.

Their customer service is very appreciated. I ordered the butternut squash soup and then a few moments later the waiter approached me with a concerned face. Turns out the cook didn’t want to serve the butternut squash soup because it was left over from the day before and there wasn’t time to make a new one. He didn’t want to serve leftovers to his customers and that shows how much he cares about the quality of the food.

The steak on the stone is a unique dish that is served at The Stage. One can cook their meat to their liking and have a fun time doing it.
