| - I thought heavily about whether or not I should write a review for Saga. Typically, chain restaurants such as this, have plenty of reviews for people to choose from. However, I thought I should.
I wanted to take my family out to dinner. My entire family. Which meant, my four children, their significant others, and my four grandchildren. Yes. I realize that's quite a brood and the amount of a meal at Saga would probably be the same as a small vacation for myself. By the way, that was the decision. I was either going to go down to Wheeling Island, or take my family out, so I opted for the latter.
We were shy one person so there were only 12 of us. We fit nicely at the big table. The one problem I have with Saga and other restaurants like it, is they won't seat you until your entire party arrives. To me this is silly, I would like to have a drink and started ordering sushi so when my party arrived a few minutes late, they could've just sat right down. However, rules are rules. And we were seated at 8:20 when a reservation was for 815. Actually the table was waiting for us.
Let's start with first impressions. The hostess. While she was not negative, she was not personable. She was there to do her job and that's what she did. She would get a neutral rating of a three.
Our waitress was efficient. She moved quickly, she got all of the drink orders correctly, although I could not gauge a personality, she wasn't overly upbeat, but she was pleasant and she was a very good waitress. When she carried that tray of soup and salad, I was impressed and that tray was bigger than her. I would give her a four.
Aw, the chef, he was quite the newbie. I say this because he didn't understand the waitress' writing, or what we meant by child's meal. He was very good. Downside, he had no joking around skills, he kept missing everybody's mouth while putting in the sake, he didn't perform brilliant defeats of culinary acts, and he lit my pink sauce on fire by accident. Or, rather the serving dishes were aflame. Thank goodness my oldest son was there to crack the jokes and we all laughed and had a great time. However, whatever the chef lacked an outgoing personality he made up for in food. The best, juiciest, tastiest, food I have had at Saga yet. I used to eat there a lot. And this was the best. Steak melted in your mouth, he cooked up to perfection. The scallops he did not cutthem into little pieces like other chefs, he left them whole and they were not dry at all. In fact I gave one to my toddler grandson who proceeded to gum the scallop because it was so juicy and tender. I would give the chef, a five-star rating simply because he knew how to cook. Who needs a personality. There were 12 of us. We were our own entertainment
I try something new, if you have never tried it you must do to Tuna takaki, it was amazing. We had a round of appetizers before dinner started as well. All in all I was very pleased with my experience Saga, they know what they're doing there. I had stopped going because my last experience the food was bland. After last night, I'm willing to give it yet another try. On the bright side. Wheeling Island would've been more expensive. I made the right choice.
