| - I don't have the time to go into too much detail right now, but just wanted to chime in and say that Sage is undoubtedly the most pleasantly rewarding surprise at City Center, and one of the best all around dining experiences I have had this decade.
Every single item brought to our table was excellent, though for creativity, a few stood out in particular: the steak tartare, one of the best I've ever had; the foie gras creme brulee (see pic), sweet and savory in equally strong dose (F-me good); the ricotta gnocchi with root vegetables, the sweetbreads, the tenderloin,the pork loin and the scallops were all simply perfect.
They have some nice handcrafted cocktails, a cute absinthe cart, and desserts were up to the task of ending a perfect meal with solid punctuation.
The dining room and lounge are comfortable, chic, sexy, cozy and lively all at once. Nicely designed.
You'd think I had money invested in this restaurant--I wish I did.
