About this restaurant

Charming
Gluten-free-friendly
Neighborhood gem

The Saga is the continuation of our story. It’s the link between our path and our future, a reflection on our group’s growth.

It showcases our evolving culinary approach to top-tier hospitality. For Chef Enrique Limardo, this restaurant has been decades in the making and represents the maturation of his culinary talent and the country where he honed his talent: Spain.

The interior concept was developed by OOAK, the award-winning designers of MICHELIN-starred Imperfecto. There are two main focal points of the space: the vast bar with an intricate wood light fixture resting above the space and the open kitchen where guests can watch Chef Enrique and the team at work.

Wonderful high-end service. They gave us complimentary champagne because we were celebrating an anniversary. The food is great but overpriced for the quantity, particularly the tapas.

The ambiance and drinks were definitely the highlight-super cozy vibe and great cocktails. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the same standard. Most of the tapas were just okay, nothing memorable. We also had a long wait for our order, and the server apologized by promising a complimentary dessert, which we appreciated... until we saw it on the bill. Left feeling a bit disappointed and hungry overall.

really too expensive for the quality of the food and the drinks. I asked for 2 glasses of champagne and they gave us very expensive brands for a total of 75$. unacceptable. additionally, for allergy reasons, we requested a bun without seeds for the burger and a salad, and they gave us fries with a burger with seeds, we had to wait for 20 min more for a new plate.
