It’s possible for anyone to have an off night so I’ll prefer to give Sage the benefit of the doubt. We arrived just a couple minutes early for our reservation and it was immediately obvious the staff was in the weeds. We took a seat at the bar to wait and had very pleasant conversation if brief with the bartender, but didn’t get to our table for almost a half hour. The menu looked interesting so we put in for everything: two entrees, a salad and small appetizer as soon as someone came to talk to us. Then, we waited. People that were seated when we first arrived started getting their food and our concern grew. Water glasses empty and drinks finished we waited. The ambiance was nice, others’ conversations were not too loud nor was the music. After a while our entrees arrived, followed by the salad and app, and a glass of wine previously forgotten was delivered. The steam was tender and prepared well, but I cannot say the same for the sides, potatoes over seasoned with too much pepper, mushrooms chewy as though they had come from a can. The schnitzel was too thin and overcooked, tough and not really edible. We were surprised that 25% gratuity had already been added to the bill and I’m sure they could read the temperature of the room when they didn’t ask how things were with the meal. We thanked them and left, the entire evening taking about 2.5 hours.
All of this is to say that Sage could very well be a nice neighborhood restaurant, and certainly has a lot of potential, but maybe we just caught them on the wrong night.
