I was looking foward to SAGE for a while; as I was really impressed with the menu. By the time we got to the restaurant at 8, we were feeling the effects of an extremely long travel day....waking up 4 am NY time for our flight in to LV. So I couldn't enjoy this really excellent restaurant's cuisine as much as I wanted to (NOTE TO SELF-DON'T WASTE GOOD RESTAURANTS ON TRAVEL DAYS- STICK WITH BUFFETS).
The sweetbreads and pork belly appetizer I had was one of the best apps i have ever eaten...sweetbreads and pork belly are awesome by themselves, put them together in one dish and you will instantly be transported to Yummyville where everyone is singing and dancing and houses are made of bacon and happiness is abound. Unfortunately, my steak entree quickly negated any appetite I had left as it was chewier than the Michelin Man's ass (not that I ever tried to chew on the Michelin man's ass). The flavor was interesting....salsa verde and black truffle paste...it worked for a few bites then got unpleasant...but that may have more to do with me having to chew each piece 52 times.
We skipped dessert because we were not at 100% as stated before, so i was disappointed that I couldn't indulge in that. The wine I ordered- by the glass- an awesome Burgundy who's name escapes me but i have it written down I think- went well with both the app and entree. The service was top notch...really friendly, polite, and effecient. The setting and ambience is beautiful and we had a great spot..our own cozy booth away from everyone else. Oh yeah, and they have bacon bread.
I def. want to come back here..i give it four stars because I am minusing one for the steak, but I think there are many things on that menu that would push it to five stars.
