    I had the pleasure of dining at The Cottage Cheese, and I must say, their food were absolutely phenomenal! The paneer was incredibly fresh, soft, and perfectly cooked. Each dish, whether it was the Makai Posto or the crispy Okra , was bursting with authentic Indian flavors. The spices were well-balanced, and the creamy textures in main courses were heavenly. It’s evident that they use high-quality ingredients and take great care in their preparation. And our dinning experience elevated by their great service. Our both servers young lady and gentleman made us very comfortable. Highly Recommended!!

    The brunch was fabulous!! The Yorkie Bennie was delicious and a good sized portion! It came quick after ordering! It was fresh tasting and temperature of food was perfect! The service was top notch and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We were meeting to catch up and chat over brunch and we probably overstayed our welcome, however, not once did we ever feel rushed and made sure to thank the staff for letting us hang out to finish our visit! Definitely a 10 out of 10 experience and would highly recommend it for any meal! Thanks to everyone at Liberty Commons for a lovely afternoon! 🎉👍

    My husband and I went for dinner recently to celebrate our anniversary. We chose Stages because it is very close to the Mirvish CAA theatre. It was a cold evening and we got a table right near the fireplace. The restaurant is small and the ambience was lovely. No blaring music! The gentleman who served us was very attentive, so we had great service. We shared a trio of dips served with pita and all 3 dips were delicious. My husband had the crispy tofu with spicy noodles and it was excellent (quite spicy so only recommend if you love hot spicy food). I had the chicken cutlet with fresh cut fries. It was very good. The cutlet was a bit dry, so not greasy, and it's something I can cook myself at home, so I wish I had chosen something else. I did enjoy my meal though and after the dips I wasn't super hungry. It was a very enjoyable experience and I would definitely return.

    We went during happy hour and the prices were right and the food was fantastic. I had the cod tacos, which were incredible along with a very yummy margarita. It was the perfect place to have a bite to eat before seeing a concert at the Opera House.
