My party and I were pretty hungry after our flight was delayed and we needed to eat ASAP.
Most of us wanted steak and there was Sage to answer our carnivore prayers.
We were quickly seated without reservations in the lounge since we didn't want to wait for the main room.
The atmosphere is lovely with giant panel sections of Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass" (thank you Art History classes).
The evening started off with pressed coffee for everyone but me. It came with a cute cookie. The waitress then brought out an amuse-bouche of...I actually didn't hear what she said, but I know it was duck and mustard. I enjoyed it mucho.
Then the bacon and sourdough bread with salt and butter came out. You only get one piece so choose wisely! Either that or they were being stingy with us. *Shifty eyes*
Our party got skirt steaks, veal cheeks, and NY strip steak. I agree with the other reviewer who said that the vegetable department was lacking. Regardless, I loved the smashed fingerling potatoes and garbanzo beans my skirt steak came with. Plus, the almond vinaigrette was good and not overpowering as some vinaigrettes can be.
The steak itself was really good, but not the best steak I've ever had in my life. I think that has yet to happen. All the flavors worked really well together.
I also tried the veal (not my fav, but I've only ever had veal once before) and the strip steak (also very good). If I go back I would probably get the NY strip or Hanger.
I wish we had enough room for dessert but we were all stuffed. Next time Sage, next time!
