We went to see tribute band of multiple artists, Dolly Parton, John Denver, Jimmy Buffett and 3 others. The house band was fantastic. The keyboardist was the best I've ever heard. He was so fun to watch because it was apparent that he enjoyed creating majic on his keyboard. The band leader John gave the back story to the artists and their 🎶. John engaged the audience and encouraged guests to sing along if they wanted. All in all a great way to spend an evening. Dinner and show no apps, no drinks and no desserts came to $170 for myself and my husband. Sorry I didn't bring my phone to take pictures. The venue is clean and very nicely decorated as well. The staff are welcoming and pleasant.

Perspective and expectations are everything. If you had a great time at the last wedding reception you went to with no open bar and thought the food and entertainment were great, then you will love it here. If you want fine dining at a good price point, you will not like it here. The price is pretty steep for what you get, and no drinks are included - so if money is a concern to you, this might not be the right choice. If you're not worried about money, there are much better options locally. With that being said, you have to factor in the value of the entertainment, and maybe it's worth it. On my visit, it was not - The Temptations & Four Tops Tribute was not great (perhaps because I was not drinking). But maybe if there were a better group, it might have been worth the price of admission.

Excellent food. I had the prime rib and it was outstanding. My friend had the ribs and loved it. The entertainment was very good and did an old time review of the 60 and 50's. It is a little expensive but that is because of the live band. Overall I recommend this restaurant but check the entertainment lineup before you make a reservation.

A group of 4 of us made a reservation to see the Journey cover band. On the phone, the employee did not mention the pricing structure had changed and that we'd be expected to pay $59.95 per person PLUS the cost of food. When we questioned this, a manager wearing a t shirt that said "QUEEN" (not the band) came out and asked repeatedly if we'd checked the email confirmation. When we did, we noticed that it said $44.95, so they weren't even correct with their assertion that they'd told us $59.95! We ended up moving to a different seating area with a $24.95 cover charge and thankfully a much better view than the "premium" seat we were in initially. Two of us ordered the small prime rib and two of us ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs. All of us were very happy with the quality of our food. The waiter was attentive. During the show, the band blew a breaker or something and the sound system went out. An employee proceeded to string a long extension cord underneath of our chairs and was awkwardly in our space while doing so. This wasn't the best dining experience. At the end of the night, we overheard a man at a neighboring table having an argument with staff about the fee he was charged for his seats versus what was promised. It seems The Stage desperately needs to work on their pricing structure and communication issues.

🎶 Mike at the bar, is a friend of mine... 🎵 (not really) He didn't bring my drinks for free. But he was friendly and attentive. So was Elisa at the front door. She explained the shows and venue to us. The place is set up nicely for every show. Every seat is good. We saw a Journey/Styx cover band. They were like seeing the real deal. The ticket prices do vary, but the dinners are always the same menu. The prime rib was delicious. The plank salmon was a little dry, but tasty. The desserts are good. The drinks are a bit pricy, but not for an entertainment venue. 2 dinners, desserts, 3 drinks and 2 beers came out to $236 with tip. Try doing that at a concert.
