The Stag’s Leap — Restaurant in Town of Orangetown

I really want this place to make it, but I don’t think it will unfortunately, as my wife and I were the only table there on a Friday night at 7pm. I don’t hold this against the restaurant in my review. My beer was cold, her cocktail was good and the waitress was very nice. But the food was absolutely terrible, especially when compared to the very high level competition in town. The smash burger had zero flavor, the stag burger just tasted like maple syrup and the fries were very dry, like freezer burn straight into the deep fryer dry. The buns were even a little stale and flavorless. This place could be good if they can manage to get their food in line with the quality elsewhere in town.

Lastly the drinks we had from bar were spot on.. Also one of the most important things is service, which was extremely attentive, friendly and helpful. We are definitely going back and if you are thinking about going I...

We had the most amazing meal at The Stag’s Leap. As a group we had the Asian short rib which was superb; full of flavour and very tender. The sea scallops were fresh, delicious and beautifully presented. We found the savoury Goat’s Cheese flan very satisfying. The Risotto, Caesar Salad and Duck Confit were all exceptional and of high quality. The staff were very attentive. The restaurant/bar has a separate area which would be perfect for a private party. We would highly recommend...
