I liked my meal here much more than my wife did. The burger was very reasonably priced for a restaurant of this class, and it was a restaurant-quality burger. I paid $2 extra for the sweet potato fries and they were perfectly seasoned. My wife was not satisfied with the clam chowder - she felt like it was far too salty and buttery. She also didn't like the filet stroganoff because the noodles were very large and required her to cut each one. Service was very attentive, and the restaurant and bar are well decorated.

I've walked by so many times and wondered about this place since it has pretty good reviews (4.4 stars, 489 reviews), but part of me was skeptical. Maybe it was the name, maybe it was the vibe. I feel like this is maybe more like 3.8? Me giving them 4 stars probably doesn't help, but the stars aren't a science and reviews are all subjective anyway. My personal take is 4 stars for service and 3.5 stars for food at the price - service was fast, friendly and attentive, but you're not getting bang for your buck. I really appreciated them fixing the overcooked steak for someone at our table, and they let us keep the overcooked steak. The person who ordered it preferred the medium rare as they ordered it, and didn't eat the overcooked one, but I tried both and I can see why they cooked it medium - the cut doesn't lend itself to a medium rare prep, too chewy at that level. A few of us tried and preferred the medium. That said, I suppose beware it may not be cooked to order and also maybe you don't want it cooked to medium rare necessarily. It's not a steakhouse. Their $20 prix fixe lunch menu is a nice light option (light in serving size and also on the wallet). Got two ribs for the ribs dish. Bolognese was a bit watery. There was a good chance the folks at our table that ordered prix fixe would've gone hungry without the extra steak at our table. The filet mignon stroganoff was not bad - the pasta part was decent, sauce was as expected for ordering stroganoff at a bar and grill. The beef wasn't tough to chew. I'd prefer less protein and more pasta for a lower price, bc for $30ish bucks, I started to think about how I'd rather spend the same amount for the pasta from a recent visit to Be.Steak.A, even though it is smaller in portion there. Extended and immediate family have an affinity for Chili's (yes, the chain) so I find myself there time to time. And honestly this was on par with my recent Chili's experience food wise. That makes me feel like this spot was not worth the menu price.

First time trying Stamp and I'm very impressed! Nice, welcoming bar and grill nestled in the heart of Laurel Street. I heard great things about the food and service, and fellow Yelpers brag on about Stamp, so I broke down and gave them a try this evening. By far, the BEST rib eye on Laurel Street! My order was to go, arrived swiftly during Saturday dinner rush and was packed thoughtfully. The rib eye is accompanied by some tasty scalloped potatoes and a green veggie, I had sautéed green beans. The rib eye was grilled to a perfect medium then basted in butter and thyme, I nearly did a few back flips over this one! Seriously nice quality and flavorful, great cut. Folks here did right by this entree. Strongly recommend for steak lovers. Pricing is spot on for their menu and they have lots to offer varying tastes. I believe parts of their menu is seasonal. Everything was made with care and love of their profession, thank you! Definitely will return and dine inside next time. Please give Stamp a try, you will not be disappointed. Cheers!

Came here on a Sunday afternoon for a private engagement of a friend's retirement party. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves. There was about 40 of us altogether. Service was very good. They were courteous and attentive. Place was clean and well decorated. Food was appealing to the eye and delighted our tongue. It appeared that everyone enjoyed what they ordered. I Recommend and plan to return on our own when there is not a private party.

This is the place for lunch. Hands down a great deal. You get to choose your entree, salad, and it comes with dessert for less than $25! We got the calamari just to snack on because we were unsure about the portions here. The portions were not kiddie sized, which is my normal complaint. These are adult sized entrees! I got the piccata, and my coworkers got the shrimp pasta, and we both liked our dishes. Comes with the Gelato of your choice. The salad was also fresh and good. If you're in this area during lunchtime and looking for good food at bargain prices...here it is!
