I love Vegas because, in a 1 mile stretch of boulevard, you get some of the best restaurants in the world.\n\nSage is far and away one of my top 10- Maybe even a top 5. The service was amazing, first of all. I was seated immediately, and immediately got water and my drink order taken. Just a few minutes later, my server greeted me with a menu and some explanations of how things work around there.\n\nThe server was attentive without hovering, had suggestions but was not upset when I ordered something else, was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and wine list, and was just generally a nice guy. Not the \"stick up their ass\" that you may expect to find at similarly priced establishments.\n\nMy meal consisted of the artichoke confit salad, which was lovely. Light, flavorful, and had a lovely combination of textures. It was really a delightful start to the menu.\n\nMy main course was the shelton farms organic chicken, roasted, with buckwheat spatzel and a sweet potato puree. This was a real treat. The skin was lightly crispy, the buckwheat spatzel was the perfect texture with a nice brown butter accompaniment, and the sweet potato puree with nuts was a really nice contrast of textures.\n\nMy dessert was the Milk chocolate cremeaux. This was sweet, but not overly so, and not too rich. Very playful taste and textures, with pomegranate seeds that provided a nice tart burst, which also helped to lighten the texture of the dessert. \n\nI rarely give 5 stars, but Sage deserves it. It was a great dining experience."^^ . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . . .
