Fernwood Village, Gladstone Ave
More infoStage runs on an idea so simple it almost feels smug: a 50-seat room in a charmingly creaky Fernwood heritage building, a daily-changing lineup of small plates, and a tight old-world wine list that knows exactly what it's doing. Start with a classic cocktail, order three or four plates, and share elbow-to-elbow the way only proper heritage buildings can arrange. Fernwood rewards the adventurous dater. Stage confirms you're one.
Start with a classic cocktail, then order three or four of the daily-changing small plates and share your way across the table, that's the simple, excellent premise of this 50-seat Fernwood wine bar. Lean on the tight old-world wine list, settle into the elbow-to-elbow buzz, and budget around an hour and forty. It's close-quarters and low-fuss, the kind of casual that turns into a great date; it's a short walk back toward downtown when you're done.
