Anna Woodman Interior Design, South Florida’s premier commercial interior design firm, has once again partnered with acclaimed chef Pushkar Marathe and restaurateur Andy Dugard to create two of their award-winning concepts. We are currently designing the second store, Stage Kitchen & Bar.
Set to open early next year on Boca’s popular Restaurant Row, the second installment of Stage (pronounced “starge”) Kitchen & Bar will draw inspiration from the award-winning original location, also helmed by Woodman. You will get it. Stage Kitchen & Bar’s first location opened in Palm Beach Gardens in 2020 and was named one of USA Today’s Best Restaurants in 2024.
Stage Kitchen & Bar is known for its modern small plates and dishes inspired by Chef Marathe’s Indian roots and extensive world travels, and Woodman’s design draws on that experience to create the perfect way for guests to enter the restaurant. We offer a friendly and eclectic atmosphere that will make you fall in love from the moment you step in. Renderings showing design plans for Woodman’s space have been released.
“A guest’s experience begins the moment they walk in the door. Anna has been and continues to be an integral part of our team, helping visually realize our vision for first impressions. “We’re here to help,” Dugard said.

Inspired by the original design, Stage Kitchen & Bar exudes quiet sophistication with deep blues and metallic hues of polished bronze and copper. With three distinct dining environments that can accommodate everything from intimate gatherings to large parties, the restaurant offers diners versatility without sacrificing style.
The open layout and spacious ceilings are accentuated by a metal chain feature, adding a contemporary feel to the central banquette at the heart of the restaurant. Innovative lighting and a backlit bar also enhance the atmosphere, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
In the dining room, rich caramel-toned synthetic leather and luxurious blue hues adorn the seating area, while walnut wood tones balance the overall aesthetic.
Outside, enjoy the beauty of the beautiful fountain that is the focal point of Restaurant Row. Guests can also enjoy their culinary experience under a pristine white pergola, surrounded by lush greenery with contemporary seating.
“It is always a privilege to help Chef Malate and Andy realize their vision through design,” Woodman said. “We are excited to expand on our original concept and welcome new diners here in Boca Raton to begin a culinary experience enhanced by the design and atmosphere of the space.”
Stage Kitchen & Bar is scheduled to open in early 2025 and will be located at 5377 Town Center Rd., Suite 200 in Boca Raton, Florida. It seats 189 people with 5,974 square feet of indoor and outdoor space.
