One of my idiosyncrasies is checking out how a restaurant is decorated. I love how Sage is decorated.
It's dark but the colors of golds and purple jump out. The service is always pretty good. The food is good but I have to admit the ambiance is what I appreciate more.
I've had a full tasting menu here. Honestly, I can't remember how it was, other than the fact that it was pretty good. Nothing jumped out too much. I also had the NY steak, which was VERY good, and at one time ordered a rib eye years ago, although I didn't see it on the menu on a recent visit. I've also had a risotto dish years ago (perhaps this was part of the tasting dish?) and it was decent but wouldn't order it again.
There's a cool absinth bar here which they push out in a little cart and drizzle it over some ice in what looks like a bong from afar. I also tasted a cucumber /gin cocktail, which was very refreshing.
Overall, I think it serves a good steak. However, next time I would probably opt to sit at the bar and have a drink or two.
