The Stagecoach Tavern at Race Brook Lodge

Food is great! Atmosphere is unique and inviting. A lot of attention is paid to detail and it shows. Cocktails are a little over priced.

I am extremely disappointed to be writing this review as I have been to Stagecoach multiple times and had pleasant experiences in the past. Unfortunately I cannot say the same for my experience on NYE. I had booked one of the private rooms for my party over a month prior in November. Upon arriving the manager asked us to wait in the entry way of the restaurant while they got the table ready. After 20 minutes he informed us that the room was still occupied by an earlier party and that we would not be able to dine there. The manager did not offer an apology and hurriedly sat us in the porch room. This was disappointing as we were all looking forward to the private dining experience. The porch room was not insulated but had large heat lamps. Half of our party was either sweating under the heat lamps or freezing away from a heat lamp. Our food and drink order were taken and this is where everything really went downhill. Our drinks took over an hour to arrive as did the tuna tartare appetizer from the pre-fix menu. The second course also took about an hour to arrive. I had the lobster bisque and it arrived Ice cold. The final 2 courses were slightly better at 40 and 30 minutes,. For context our reservation was at 7:30, our dinner arrived after 10 pm, and we received the check at 11:23 pm. We had other plans on the night and this was incredibly inconvenient. Lastly the service was very poor, we were left alone for an hour at a time. No one checked in on our table, no one offered up an explanation for the long wait times, members of my party even had to go to the servers station to refill their water glasses. I attempted to find the manager to voice my concerns about the food timing and our later plans, yet he was no where to be found. Considering we were bumped from the private room and the wait time for food was unreasonably long, a simple check in would have gone a long way. There was no degree of customer service or hospitality whatsoever, instead it felt as if we were being ignored. As a local and someone who has been a repeat costumer I cannot justify returning or recommending stagecoach unless changes are made. We left disappointed and I walked out embarrassed having been the one who recommended and organized the dinner. I spent the car ride to our next destination apologizing to my friends for organizing our NYE dinner at Stagecoach. Our bill was around $150 per person which does not sit right considering our experience.

Fantastic to be greeted by a fire warm and bright on a cold winter’s night. Seasonal menu. I had the fresh tagliatelle with a mushroom sauce and an excellent Pinot Grigio.

Service was unusually slow and bad. Over 30 minutes to get drinks and over 60 for food. Even though there were only two other tables seated in the whole place. Waiter dropped the wine bottle on the floor in front of us and then served it anyway without offering a taste pour first. We were over billed on one item and they charge 8 dollars for basic dinner rolls.

We had a lovely meal for four last night, in the private dining room. Service was warm, funny, and excellent. The black bass with risotto was superb. Tomato salad and mussels were great appetizers. And the half-chicken was well-seasoned and came with delicious greens. Good wine list (by glass or bottle). And very reasonable prices for the quality of dining!

Lots of history and lots of space indoors and out. We were outside and it was a perfect night. A nice limited menu which makes things easy. Appetizers were excellent, entrees were good. We started with mussels & frites and the beet salad... both delicious. Short Ribs entrees were a little dry, veggies were good. Black Bass entree was better.

Outside tables are nicely spaced, screened in porch had potential and there were private dining rooms as well.

I suspect the menu is seasonal, we're going back in the fall to find out and really put the fire pits to good use. Maybe even stay over at the lodge.

A funky place that reminded us of Dream Away.

Our meals (duck confit and short ribs) were superb and the golden beet app has an uncommon flavor that was really yummy! The staff were very accommodating to my food allergies and the the drinks were beautiful and expertly crafted! We enjoy our visits there every time!!

This is likely my favorite restaurant of all time. The atmosphere is unique, intimate, and comfortable yet upscale. It balances modern and historic beautifully. The brunch/lunch is delicious, particularly the french toast. We once asked how they make it and it was clear that so much care, effort, and expertise went into it (and we had to stop listening because it was so complex!) The mushroom asparagus bruschetta was also one of the best dishes I've had at any restaurant - perfectly balanced textures and complex tastes. Plus, the price is very fair.
