    They forgot to put fish in my fish tacos...
    Skylar T.

    This restaurant was definitely overrated in my opinion. I wasn't too hungry and chose to just get a couple of appetizers for dinner. The waitress was really nice and friendly and I ordered salt and pepper chicken wings and fish tacos. There were 9 pieces of chicken wings and I have to say that they looked so dry that I thought they might have been sitting under a heating lamp for days... Biting into them was a challenge too... salty and dry. When my fish tacos came out, I thought they looked odd, but I couldn't tell what was wrong with them. 2 minutes later the waitress came back and told me they had forgotten to put the fish on the tacos. Really? ^_^ I have to say that the three tacos were definitely better than the wings. Overall I felt it was a disappointing dining experience for me.

    Beef shortrib with saskatoon berry sauce... or, "beef on a spoon" as my table called it.  By far my favourite.

    Stages Kitchen & Bar in the DoubleTree by Hilton (formerly the Mayfield Inn) was kind enough to invite some Yelpers to the unveiling of their new Winter Menu last night. There were some definite high points and a few minor lows. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jessica's smiling face. She gave us an overview of what we would be sampling throughout the evening and apologized that they were not quite ready for us to head in yet (we were 15 minutes early, so she definitely had nothing to apologize for!). Kristin K. and I were the first ones to arrive, and we wasted no time hitting the bar to try out their new cocktails. I started with the Pomegranate Cucumber Mojito. I'm really not a big fan of mojitos, but I had to give it a shot. The taste over all was quite nice, but not something I would order. Once we had our drinks, the hors d'oeuvres started circulating. First thing we tried was the Tuna Tataki. The fried wonton it was served on was perfectly crispy and I was suprised at how much I liked the tuna. The new menu items were being prepared fresh at stations set up around the room. The three stations were: Crispy Noodle Stir Fry, Bombay Butter Chicken, and assorted desserts. We went for the stir fry first. I really enjoyed it...the chicked was cooked perfectly and the veggies were crispy. Sadly, if the noodles sit for more than 2 minutes, they get a little soft, so they might want to reconsider the name. The Butter Chicken was... well, it was good, but quite underwhelming. I really detected no spice at all, although again, the chicken was cooked absolutely perfectly. Also, disappointingly, the naan bread was not cooked in house and was pretty lackluster. The other new item that we were supposed to give feedback on was the thin crust pizza, but that wasn't available at a station, instead was circulated like the hors d'oeuvres. Sadly, it took quite a while for any pizza to make it to our table, and we ended up having to chase some down. I understand the concept of the more traditional pizzas - light on the sauce and cheese, letting the flavours shine through... but I wasn't a huge fan of the pizzas personally. I thought they lacked the necessary flavours, and the crusts were just too crispy. Other items that were not new to the menu, but we were able to try: Pulled Pork Sliders, Basa Fish Tacos, and Beef Shortribs with a Saskatoon Berry sauce. I'm sure there was more... but honestly, once that short rib came out, all other food was lost on me. This was absolutely the highlight for me. I will 100% be back to Stages to order this dish. The other new cocktail that I tried was the Mandarin Sting. AMAZING! Citrus Vodka, orange juice, lemon juice, cranberry juice, a little simple syrup and a little slice of a cerrano pepper! I was blown away by this drink. They circulated a couple of other drinks, that were not new. Their signature ceasar, which I was not a fan of at all (and ceasar's are my go-to drink). It seemed watered down. The other that I tried was the peach Bellini, which to me tasted a little like carbonated Boones. Overall, this was a great event. The staff were extremely open to our feedback and seemed genuinely interested in what we thought.

    Fun times rodeo week at Stages kitchen

    Curses! It's no fun writing an update which basically says the exact same thing as the previous review. It's easy to be great one time, but Stages Kitchen continues to knock the socks off this reviewer. Great Parking, super friendly staff and amazing dishes... wow. If you live near here , check this fun and amazing place out!

    Goat cheese and beet salad.
    Jaime G.

    It will do the job. Actually pretty good for a hotel restaurant. Service is good and menu is surprisingly diverse. I have the beet and goat cheese salad, salmon nuggets, caesar salad, and veggie pizza. All good for a a hotel bar but nothing special. Maybe kudos for having such a selection. Beer, wine selection was good too. Would come hang out here again - even if just for drink.

    We loved the previous restaurant in the Mayfield Inn prior to becoming Doubletree, so we thought we would try Stages. They offer a lunch buffet, which has a different theme everyday, e.g. Indian, Mexican, etc and an actual menu. We normally get the buffet which is generally good, and the bread pudding is always fantastic. You can usually find a couple things out of each buffet that will tickle your fancy, but if you aren't into a certain kind of food, the salad bar, soup, and bread sticks with the hefty dessert platter. I tries something on the menu this time around, the chicken club sandwich on foccacia with a side salad. The portion was generous and the flavour wonderful. Service is always very good and you get a giant bottle of water of your choice. Prices are fairly reasonable as well and the buffet often has a dish where you have a chef making food right in front of you, e.g. pasta or chicken fried rice. All in all, this is a great place with usually good parking and great service.

    Who knew a restaurant in a hotel in the west end of edmonton could have such amazing food and service! The restaurant is just off the hotel lobby and definitely does not have a very "hotel" feel. Everyone is very welcoming and service is spectacular. Not to mention the food is to die for!! They have ridiculously tasty thin crust pizzas which I think are wood oven baked. I got the pleasure of trying their pizzas, butter chicken, crispy noodles with veggies, and delightful desserts along with some amazing cocktails! They have a really refreshing pomegranate cucumber mojito! Pretty much any drink the bartender whipped up was just as delicious as beautiful. The service was top notch as well. Servers were attentive and eager to meet your needs as well as being very knowledgeable about the different dishes they were serving. It was a wonderful evening overall and I will definitely be back soon!!

    Sliders!

    These people know what their doing when comes to food. I had several dishes off their appetizer menu and thoroughly enjoyed every one of them. Let's start with delicious deep fried crab. It was really light and crispy and had a perfect sauce paired with it. A fantastic appetizer. My favorite dish was a cheesy bread with an also cheesy tomato dip. It was so bursting with different flavors that every bite has something new and delicious to it. For dessert, try the apple pie bites! They pack all the love and flavor of home cooking into a wonderful little bite sized dessert. Only issue is there's no way you can share it because it is too good. All in all, a great experience with the new menu at Stages Restaurant. And worst case, if you're still hungry, head over to the buffet at the dinner theater!

    8oz Prime Rib Beef Burger with fries and gravy.
    Joey D.

    For a nice restaurant/pub as part of the Doubletree by Hilton hotel, I was pleasantly surprised with how good the food was here. Started with Apple Cider BBQ chicken wings, they give a mountain of nice, meaty wings that tastes great. Main course was a Prime Rib Beef Burger, it was good but comparable to any other restaurant. For dessert, I got the Vanilla Bourbon Cheesecake. It was fantastic! It was deliciously mild on the cheese taste and the texture & taste reminded me of a whipped cream. I could have had two or even three of these. This place is worth a try and would go again.

    another hidden cafe gem in Edmonton close to the high level bridge…read more It's a cool cafe that looks like a house from the outside.

    Oh. Em. Squeal!!!!!…read more First off, mad props to my friend for introducing me to this charming new addition to the coffee scene. Stop Gap opened just under a month ago in Oliver. They describe themselves as a temporary (stop gap) means to filling a need - coffee - served with an intentional and caring heart. Caleb Kam, the owner, is warm and inviting. He definitely knows his coffee. You may know him from his former life at Brown Butter Cafe. Caleb focuses on Canadian, fresh, and local! I spotted Ace and Candid today (Edmonton gems). The clientele were sweet and happy to offer up their faves! Nathan, a regular, told me Caleb is the go to for the best pour over in town. I opted for a Dirty Chai - made to perfection and my friend had a oat milk chai complete with milk art adorning the top. Both beverages were perfection. Coffee can be consumed in house complete with adorable coasters (el gato was my fave naturally, meow) or taken to go. For seating, there is a cute bench against the window front and a side room available if not booked. Caleb also had fresh donuts from Fuzion in Chinatown. My friend and I shared the cake and Cinnamon bun donut today. Sooo ridiculously good. Be sure to check Fuzion out online - they don't have a storefront so you will need to order in advance if you are looking to up your donut game at your next office meeting. I seriously can't wait to come back here again! Oh and they also have a beautiful meeting space available for rent on the main floor in case you want to bring your next staff meeting to the best coffee in town! Such a true pleasure meeting you today, Caleb! Stop Gap is exactly what YEG needs!

    Really excellent Persian food. We stumbled on this in the west end when we were doing errands…read more We decided on the kabob platter for us. It came with Koobideh (Two skewers of Juicy ground beef kabab) , Chicken kabab Joojeh (Sineh) and grilled tomatoes. Served with 4 servings of saffron rice. It is made for 3-4 but we enjoy leftovers. Food was amazing! The rice was so fluffy! Appreciated all the raw sliced onions and the grilled tomatoes (however I could have used less char on them). They gave us two dips to try with pita bread - Zeytoon Parvardeh Brined olives mixed with crushed walnuts and rich pomegranate molasses, and Mast - o - Moosir - Creamy yogurt blended with shallots and garnished with dried mint. Both were so amazing and full of flavour. Our platter also came with pickled...I want to say cabbage which was so delicious with the meat. The meat itself was well cooked and full of favour. I preferred the beef to the chicken but both were delicious. I really wanted to try the saffron ice cream, which was a great end of the meal paired with some tea. The ice cream itself wasn't so sweet which I really appreciated. Our server was lovely and friendly and super helpful. It looses a star because it was cold - both in esthetics and in temperature. I would love to see some more Persian décor to make dining more of a trip. We will be back again because there are many things on the menu that I would like to try.

    The best Persian food you can find in Edmonton! The quality…read moreand value are both great. The food is delicious and comparable with best restaurants in Iran and to be honest, I haven't had Persian food in North America with this quality and taste. The customer service is always the best and the staff are friendly and helpful. The place is beautiful and big and great for gathering. This is one of my favourite restaurants in YEG and I highly recommend it
