I've been eating at Sage for going on 6 years now. In that time my friends and I have visited other sushi resteraunts. Some to our dismay. We always return to our favorite place. The turn over in wait staff has caused an ebb and flow with service. Common in the food industry. The sushi however is always of high quality in taste and creativity. I enjoy the interaction of the chefs with the clientel. Its far better than the generic stoic composure of other establishments. It goes a long way in creating a pleasurable dining experience.
