    We had an absolutely incredible experience at Hyde Park. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch—attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Our servers (Tony and David G) provided excellent recommendations, and we never felt rushed, allowing us to truly enjoy our evening. Even Randy, the manager, made it a point to remember our occasion and ensure our night was enjoyable. The food was outstanding, with every dish perfectly prepared and beautifully presented. We had the best calamari that we’ve eaten anywhere which had a unique spin on it and the filet and New York strip were flavorful and tender in each bite. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a special night. Hyde Park exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

    Wonderful place, yummy food, and delicious cocktails. Cristina was a delight, we have learned so much from her about the history of the restaurant.Her food suggestions were very good..Raphael was welcoming from the door, encouraging us to try the bar upstairs and he was right we had an amazing time.The ambiance and music is nice. We returned twice and also tried their other restaurant, Clasico, for good pizza and sald for lunch.Highly recommend this restaurant

    My wife and I celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary with dinner at Sage SRQ. It was an extraordinarily delightful experience. The historic building makes a charmingly comfortable & tasteful setting. The menu is intriguing, and every dish was beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. It was perfect and memorable experience in every way. We have found our new go to special occasion spot. Well done!

    Really great food selection here. We sat outside and we were there early enough for half priced wine which was great. Service was nice, but I think our server was a little young and shy. Didn’t really provide a lot of details, but was still a very nice server. I’m probably being overly picky with that. Highly recommend! We will be back.🔙
