Stage 62 Delicatessen Restaurant

Had skirt steak with eggs over easy. Petite cut of steak was very tender & tasty. Pancakes as a side were fluffy & light. You can get toast or bagels on the side. Delicious with great service.

Good sandwiches and soups. Salads could be put in bigger bowls. They pile the lettuce onto a small lunch plate. They should use larger bowls if they intend to serve big salads. This is a Jewish deli modified for the local population of Midwestern transplants. That’s generally the case for most of the restaurants in Mercato, overpriced and institutional.

Love the food! Half sour pickles! Yum! Matzo balls are too big for me. But everyone has different taste. You can sit in or out and shop before or after

For being in Naples, a fairly solid Jewish deli — though, as I type it, calling it a JD seems a bit of a misnomer as last I checked w my rabbi, buffalo shrimp and pastrami poutine were not on the buffet at shul this past Saturday, but I digress — if you want reliable omelettes, salads, smoked fish, Reubens, burgers, or blintzes, Stage will have you covered.
To say that business is slow in the off season is a bit like saying «the sky is blue» — at 8p on a Thursday, we were one of two tables filled in the entire place — thus, as you can imagine, service was enthusiastic and attentive — for obvious reasons, no read on the regular vibe, though per my parents, who have been several times, it skews AARP-​chic. What a shocker.
If you’re feeling frisky, start w the sable stack (sable, avo, tomato, onion strings, soy vinaigrette), chopped liver, kishka, BBQ salami, or any of your bubbe’s classic soups — kreplach, mish mash, matzo ball — or, if you hate yourself a little, get the «diet cabbage soup» — which sounds truly terrifying.
The parents were into something light — both went for the kale salad (pumpkin seeds, avo, garbanzos, onion, tomato, parm) with chicken toppers (chick shwarma for papa, grilled for mama) — and if you’re leery of a green that robust, they have a billion other lettucey options to choose from — the Maurice (turkey, ham, swizz, pickles, iceberg), herbed salmon (baby greens, roasted veg, tomato, potato salad), arugula salads, chicken salads, and salads with no actual greens in them (see: stuffed avo plate).
Also in the offing are 5 types of Reubens, several subs, a sando called the Fiddler on the Roof (nova, cream cheese, tomato, onion), and lest you think this reference is dated, don’t worry, there is a Hamilton too (brisket, lettuce, tomato, Russian dressing, horseradish — connection with Founding Father vague at best), and roughly 10 billion other types of deli classics (turkey, roast beef, pastrami), grilled sandos, melts, hot dogs, and burgers.
Wait. That’s not all. Served with a cup of soup or salad + two sides, the entrees roll in to show us all up — stuffed cabbage, pot roast, chicken in a pot, broiled whitefish, sautéed trout, chicken madras to chicken lemonatta (? on both), pastas, etc — you name it, I’m pretty sure it’s on the menu. Unless you need sush. Then you are SOL.
Oh, and in a final gift to the truly indecisive, breakie is available all day. Dive into cinny bobka, move into matzo brei, challah French toast, or a hash of your choice (corned beef, roast beef, salmon, veg), or a light n’ fluffy omelette — and then wrap me up and put a bow on me b/​c I’m stuffed.
Starters are $ 8 – 12, soups $ 3.5−14, salads $ 10 – 18, sandos/​burgers/​dogs $ 10 – 15, and entrees $ 16 – 20. Breakfast stuff is $ 6 – 14. Also — if you visit off-​season, which it currently is — you get 15% off your bill if you’re a local. Overall, a nice reliable standby — the food will never be the best thing you’ve tried, but it’s the comfortable, though slightly homely, GF you’ll always keep around and at the end of it all, are grateful that she’s there.

I was really not impressed with this deli located in the upmarket Mercato. We decided to come here because my Grandparents wanted to have a light dinner after a movie at the cinema next door. Everything was overpriced and the menu was average. I ordered the soup and half sandwich deal for $ 12. The soup was matzo ball soup which was bland and the matzo ball was far too dense. My half sandwich was a roast beef sandwich was stacked with meat but definitely not worth the price tag. Overall, our bill for 4 people (without drinks) was $ 69 which for sandwiches was totally outrageous. Notable the service was attentive and our drinks did not find the bottom of our glasses for long. Fine for tonight’s dinner but wont be returning anytime soon.

Even though there were only five other families in the restaurant, my group had to wait fifteen minutes for service. The waitress said she would get water for the group and she seemingly disappeared – a different server had to fill in her place without explanation. While waiting for our food for an additional thirty minutes, we were not given silverware or the coffee we ordered. However, besides the terrible service, the breakfast food was really good and filling.

the worst service ever i sat down saturday with my family
and waited 1 hour for breakfast and the got the order wrong.
the staff does not care i will never go in there again and if you have a couple of hours to wait out of your day stage front is your place.
its a shame this town needs a deli.

We had a group of 7 ppl and it was around 2−3pm on a Thursday. Everything was fantastic, from the food to the service, it was top notch.
I forgot our waitresses name but she was great. Refills were steady and she brought us everything we asked for.
They served beer as well.
I had the burger and a few ppl had breakfast but nobody was disappointed. Their deli sandwiches were fantastic as well according to my friends.
Recommend this place especially bc it’s right next to Jos. A Bank and sometimes have a wait for alterations.

Being from Detroit we know deli, the Stage in West Bloomfield, Zingermans in Ann Arbor no need to say more. We ran across this spot today and loved it. Service was attentive, nice noshers to start with pickles and kraut. Sandwich was easily split. They must be getting their rye from Detroit and finishing it here, because as the NYT has often said Detroit rye is the best in the country and this was no exception. Had the turkey, slaw, russian and swiss, and it was spot on we will be back.

Stay away!
45 minutes after ordering still waiting on ½ sandwich. Had a matzo ball soup that was broth and a big dense m ball.
My waitress just came by and ask did I get my food???

Stopped here when visiting family in Naples. Located in the Mercato plaza. Wait staff, food, service –all just average, Nothing special here. Lots of competition within a mile radius– so they really need to step it up. Lunch for 5 people with tip was over $ 90… We all had either had a sandwiches or a salad.

Food quality was mediocre at best. Tables were not wiped down, no hostess on staff until 9 am (we arrived at 8:40) bus boy finally arrived at 9:45. The worst part of it all is that it took one hours and three attempts to bring the correct meal. Waitress spoke absolutely no English and had no support staff to assist her. We are Naples local and will never return.
Also, asked to speak to a manager and we were told that he comes in around 10:30am … Still waiting for him to call us about our experience.

I must saw I was skeptical initially. My family loves homemade corned beef hash. I believe we ordered 4 plates all with corned beef. It was great. No complaints from a table of 10. Even our kids every bit on their plates. The corned beef skillet plate was outstanding and different.

We have been to deli’s in many cities and were disappointed in this one. None of our meals lived up to our expectations. The corned beef hash seemed to have so little corned beef in it that I didn’t taste it. When I went to put cream cheese on my bagel it was such a small scoop like I have never seen. The corned beef sandwich was pretty small. I realized that if it was a giant sandwich we would not have cared what it cost. This was so small that we didn’t think it was worth the cost.
The manager was very nice but said they have a new sandwich guy in the kitchen but that was a poor excuse. There would be a kitchen manager to keep an eye on portion control.
We do not plan to go back there.

The food here is typical sandwich café style nothing overly impressive. I had the minor sandwich and since then they revamped their menu which is a good sign. The sandwich was just dense ball of meat inside a pastry dough. I tried their open-​faced tuna sandwich yesterday. Again it was nothing out of the ordinary that would make me want to come back for it. The fries was pretty good. It was thick cut style and tasted fresh. They have also remodeled interior which is a little too fancy for a café but I figure there are probably trying to keep up with the Joneses in Mercato.

The food was amazing! They never disapoint!

Wow, the rudest treatment I have ever received at any restaurant ever by the very condescending and patronizing «manager» Jamie. We were basically yelled at in front of our two kids for the mistake the waitress made and for asking to correct it. Apparently, we «should have known» that they matzo ball soup doesn’t come in cup. Thats what you get for not doing your research and walking into the place wanting to grab a quick lunch with two small kids.
To the owner (who I was told was traveling at the time of the incident) – As a business owner of many years, I always thank my customers for their comments. While nobody could be perfect and we cannot satisfy 100% of visitors, the most important part of running any business is being able to resolve conflicts in the positive efficient manner. Do your business a favor and replace Jamie for somebody who has more refined interpersonal skills.

I had the fish and chips today! Awesome!!! It came with soup or salad! I chose the homemade chicken noodle soup! Excellent choice and it tasted like my Grandma’s! I will be back to try other selections! Great service and atmosphere!

I love this place. I get the latkes. And the smoothie. The kale salad is a must. I have been to the Deli’s in Naples and Ft Myers and it’s not like I’m comparing Delis. This place has some middle Eastern dishes that are great. Maybe it is because I’m from Detroit. I just love the food!
The Happy Hour specials are a good deal. The Char dog is a must for happy hour. I love to support places I go to.

One late chilly November day right after Thanksgiving, we had a taste for was a good huge bowl of fresh warm soup. We stopped by, & to our excitement, there were a good number of soups on the menu. I ordered a huge bowl of Kerplach soup w chunks of carrots, dumpling, brisket, and noodles. My hubby ordered a chicken noodle soup. Both were very good and hit the spot perfectly. The broth was also tasty & the chunks of veggies or chicken were great.
Now who complains about the cold weather, orders soup, and sits outside? Yep, that’s us. Well, we always have our little dog with us. We sat outside, yes, but they made sure to bring us our personal heater and they didn’t ignore us even though we were outside. Service was just as great.
