beachgirl54 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Wanted to grab a quick drink and bite with a friend and I thought we'd try Stageplate, having read about it somewhere. Meh - they opened in August and their menu still has "coming soon" teasers of appetizers. There were two and we ordered both - calamari and shrimp. Completely average Limited options of wines by the glass. Entrees were mid 20s to 30s - not sustainable. And a very odd vibe - we both were unsure what to make of the place. I give it 4 months, tops.

hopsing Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Not restaurant-related, but I heard the manager catered the Eagles (band not team) crew on the road for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope they ate better than I did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopsing Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It may explain why they use the terms "backstage", "rock", "amp," "roadie", "crew", and their logo with the vinyl record, I guess. I still don't know what a stageplate is though. I've only been for Happy Hour and their 7 Moons Red Blend for $5 is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NolaCaine Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Cursed location. Terrible concept. Hard to compete with cheese. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopsing Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Anybody know what is going on with this restaurant? I walk by it all the time and it has been closed since August and it is still closed. How can a restaurant temporarily close for 4 months?
