| - I felt a little bit like a country bumpkin when my boyfriend walked me through doors of Sage. I mean, I have been to a few nice restaurants in my day, however, I have never been the youngest person in the room at any of those places. In Sage's case, that's probably because when people my age visit Vegas they partake in the $19.95 buffet at the Imperial Place and drink margaritas out of large plastic cups. I am extremely happy that my boyfriend and I have either better taste or deeper pockets than most of the 21-25 year old crowd because this restaurant is delicious!
We started with drinks at the bar towards the front of the restaurant. Sean said that his Martini was one of the best he ever tasted, and my peach bullet was just unreal. The bartender was awesome. I couldn't decide on my pre dinner drink, and he helped me choose based on other drinks that I do like. He also spent a good twenty minutes giving Sean and I a lesson in different absinthes. He let us smell all of the different kinds that Sage offers and taught us about both the French and Russian methods of serving it. Fun fact: Sage sells the most absinthe of anywhere in the world.
We were walked into the main dinning room which is decorated with deep purples, dim lighting, and dark wooden tables. After being seated, we were given bread and creamy butter with an array of spices mixed in. After that the chef treated us to a sample of the soup of the night. I can't remember what it was called, but it was fantastic.
We ordered beef tartare for our appetizer. I was a little hesitant to try it, but I am so glad I did. It was probably one of the best tasting foods I have ever had. I can't really compare it to other tartares because this was my first time having it, but as a N00b I really enjoyed it.
I ordered the spagetti with scallops, lobster, and octopus as m main course. I also really enjoyed that, but it was a little too much after the starters.
We ended with a hot chocolate and orange soup. It really put the final touches on the meal. Everything was perfect. Our main server and the other staff that waited on us through out the night really made it a wonderful evening!
