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.

Made a reservation 2 months in advance. They decided to close for a break without calling to notify us. It's a good thing we verified that they were closed as our reservation approached, we had a private room booked for an important occasion.

We always enjoy coming to this restaurant, for its historical atmosphere and delicious food. We were there over the weekend, and asked for a special table for our family who was there from out of town, and they had it waiting for us when we arrived. Thank you!

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.

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.

A 20% service fee is included in the price which may account for the incredibly inept, inattentive service. 15 minutes before we were asked about our drinks, another 15 to get them. An hour for food to arrive. Despite reservations we were seated on the benches in the bar. The menu is limited and not interesting. The bill was incorrect. Why would I ever return.

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.

If you look at the very very small print at the bottom of the menu it says prices have increased so the tip is included. This is always very tricky. Price was way higher than expected and food was at best mediocre. Ambiance and service very good.
