| The Stage House has radiated warmth with tin lamps, roaring fireplace and creaky plank floors since 1737. Its ambience and current menu may be separated by centuries, but the thread that binds is sophistication and style. Chef Eric Hambrecht’s cooking sometimes delivers big flavors in soft and subtle ways; sometimes with bold and daring flair. The artistry is in the use of tastes, textures and colors: his sautéed barramundi filet with carrot purée, haricots verts, grape tomatoes and lobster sauce is a fine example. The wine list with more than 200 offerings is first-rate to match the fine cuisine. The service, while well meaning, is not polished. The staff may forget to clear glasses, pour wine or inquire if things are going well. Fortunately, the answer to that unasked question more times than not would be that things are just fine. Patrons can also dine in The Tavern---an attached but separate dining room conceived as a comfortable, casual drop-in place. Many of the dishes available in the formal dining room are also offered here. |
