    Sage SQR is the epitome of fine dining, The food for outstanding , the service great and the décor stunning. The avocado gazpacho was so good you want to lick the plate. The soft shell crab was a wonder and the lobster bolognas was great.

    We had the best server ever, Kate or Katie! She had the kindest, joyful, happiest smile ever, accompanied by the best service! She made our first time visit to SAGE worth the visit. The food was delicious, came out nice and hot, and great presentation. Everyone enjoyed their meal; I had the pork shank (it was a big portion and delicious) I split the Caesar salad with my husband who had the Thai dish (nice size portion and bursting with color) our friend had the sea bass (nice size portion and she said it was delicious) we did not leave hungry. One thing that happened and I have never seen this done in the many restaurants we have been to…our table wobbled, we noticed it but it didn’t bother us, we ignored it; a few minutes later a sweet young lady came over and said “we noticed your table wobbled, let me fix that” she did not add a wad of sugar packets, she turned something on the foot of the table and viola, no wobble; we were so pleasantly surprised, now that’s service! We will return, the experience by all that served us was extraordinaire. Everything was perfect! PS: the building architecture was very tastefully done, and the history of the building, a print shop among other things, made the visit even better.

    Sage's most recent menu is outstanding for all courses. The new caesar salad is different and tasty, the bouillabase and sea bass were delicious, and the strawberry desert provided a nice touch. This meal was outstanding!

    Ordered the onion puff pastry tart and it was way over cooked, tuff, and cold. Also ordered the pork shank, and it was over cooked and dry. The tablespoon of sauce did not compensate for the dryness.
