Stäge Kitchen & Bar has opened its second Atlanta-area location inside Dunwoody’s Campus 244, bringing a high-energy fusion menu that mixes elevated sushi, coastal seafood and hearty chops. The chef-driven spot packs in a 10-seat omakase counter, a 25-seat cocktail bar, private dining and a patio that looks out over the campus greenspace. Owners and hotel partners say the layout and program were carefully curated for hotel guests, office workers and nearby residents, with theatrical presentations and a seasonally rotating menu meant to keep the experience from ever feeling routine.
Stäge Lands at Campus 244
As reported by WhatNow, Stäge opened at 110 Campus Way inside the Element Hotel, and the outlet lists May 15, 2026 as the restaurant’s opening date. In that report, co-owner Raquel Stalcup said, “Every element of this space ... has been curated to deliver something special,” and the ownership group is named as Charlie Sunyapong, Natalie Yeung and Tola Mak alongside Stalcup. WhatNow also notes that the buildout includes a private dining room and a large patio overlooking the greenspace to pull in everyone from business lunches to celebratory dinners.
Menu, sushi and a 24K Magic Roll
The Stäge Kitchen & Bar website lays out the Dunwoody menus, spotlighting small plates such as duck fried rice with XO sauce, grilled Spanish octopus and lamb lollipops. For mains, the lineup includes a Berkshire tomahawk pork chop and crab-stuffed salmon, leaning into that “hearty chops meets coastal seafood” promise. The sushi side of the operation centers on a 10-seat omakase counter led by corporate sushi chef Vin Pham, plus specialty rolls like the Roxy Roll and the showy “24K Magic Roll,” which is topped with caviar and 24-karat gold flakes. The space is also built around a 25-seat cocktail bar that is set up for shareable plates and late-night drinks rather than just a quick pre-dinner pit stop.
Part of a bigger campus push
The restaurant is one of the Element hotel’s public dining options and is part of the broader Campus 244 redevelopment led by The Georgetown Company and RocaPoint Partners, according to Vision Hospitality Group. Vision opened the Element hotel in November 2024 and described Stäge and the Spruce Social House lobby bar as anchors for the hotel’s food-and-beverage offerings. Developers and hotel operators say those tenants are meant to activate the campus for office tenants, hotel guests and neighborhood visitors, turning the project into more of an all-day hangout than a strictly 9-to-5 office address.
Why Dunwoody and why now
Local economic and tourism groups have been tracking a surge of openings across Dunwoody as the Perimeter area repositions itself as a walkable hospitality and office hub, Discover Dunwoody notes. The What’s Up Dunwoody podcast and local briefings reported that Stäge began lunch service earlier in May, suggesting a soft opening before or alongside the formal opening weekend, What’s Up Dunwoody reported. That early runway gives the kitchen time to settle in ahead of summer traffic and the hotel demand expected around the 2026 World Cup.
Hours, reservations and where to go
Stäge lists hours as 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday–Saturday and 11 a.m.–9 p.m. on Sunday, and it takes reservations via Resy, according to the Stäge Kitchen & Bar site. The restaurant recommends parking on the third floor of Campus 244’s garage for two free hours and can be reached at the Dunwoody phone number listed on its website. The dining room accommodates private events, and the omakase counter can be booked for intimate tastings for diners who want the full chef’s-choice treatment.
