Horrible. Ordered the rib appetizer,it came out relatively quickly, and was pretty good. From that point on everything was horrible. Waited over an hour for our entrée’s; which were simply two steaks. We couldn’t wait any longer and needed to leave, as we were seeing a show, which we informed our server upon entry. As we’re leaving, without eating our dinner, they asked if we wanted the steaks to go? Are you kidding me?

Service was wonderful. Food was good, but a bit pricey for what we got. We were in the back room which was very noisy, but we could hear our own conversation well enough. It took a long time to get our food, but it was somewhat understandable since there was a show going on at the facility later in the evening which made them extra busy. The waiter was very good at communicating with us and made sure we got out in time to catch the show.

Food and service was excellent. The noise level, and the fact that some of the patrons appeared to have come in from the pool area at the resort (wearing shorts and flip-flops), took a little bit away from the ambience that was expected of such a highly renowned restaurant.

The ambiance was nice. Service was fair. We asked if they had bread and waiter said they don’t offer it. Then we looked at appetizers and there was a bread basket as an option. So, instead of just explaining that yes they have bread and it is an appetizer the waiter just left us to figure it out. I ordered a filet and it was the absolute worst piece of steak I have ever had. I expected to gently cut into it and what I had to do was saw it! That tells you how hard it was to chew as well. It was cooked to a nice medium with plenty of pink. It should not have been tough. The waiter did offer to bring another but I chose not. What good would another bad cut of meat do? The waiter did offer a complimentary dessert.

Have eaten at this restaurant several times over the years, it has been hit and miss now the last few visits. Friday August 4, 2023 was a complete miss. Menu is limited, we skipped app because nothing was appealing, ordered the Pork Tenderloin and Chicken dinners. Both very overcooked and dry, but both had sauces that were delicious. The pork was to come with a whipped sweet potatoe (with green chile) side, but was served with mashed potatoes instead. When asked about this, was told that they no longer serve the sweet potatoe side. Tip to restaurant, reprint your menu - its just paper, or let customers know that this is no longer offered when they order the plate. Service was nothing special and timings were fine. Disappointing that this restaurant has fallen so far from previous great dinners. BTW, the hostess Bronwyn is a gem! She is so friendly and personable, a real treat in an otherwise terrible evening out.

We haven’t been to the Red Sage in over a year and the reviews were not good. We went last night which was very busy due to the George Thorogood concert. It was really busy but we were seated fairly quick, the food was very good and a good wine list at pretty good prices. Service was good and the hostess was really working hard. We will be back to see how it is on a regular night but we enjoyed the dinner and the service.

10 entrees on the menu and they were out of 2 of them. Potatoes were cold and lumpy and veggies under cooked. Waiter pressured us to hurry up and order then we never saw him again. When steak arrived chef said he’d be back with steak knife. 5 minutes later I had to ask a bus person for a steak knife. $20 salad is worth maybe $6. Don’t waste your time or money on this overpriced restaurant

Barely warm potatoes and a poor quality cut of ribeye. Previous visits were better food and servicewise. For $150 without alcohol for 2 people, I expected more. I don't mind spending the money if food and service are good, but do mind spending that kind of money for just ok food.

We went for my moms birthday. Our table was basically by the entrance-noisy and not intimate. They knew it was a birthday celebration. Food was ok but the waiter did not mention the soup was very spicy. The ordered coffee was not delivered. They had no olive oil for the $6 paid for bread. They did comp the dessert for mom. All on all, I’d go back for drinks at the bar. They were ample and delicious.

We’ve had better experiences here pre-COVID. The food was good but prices were high for the meal. There was a very limited menu to chose from. For about $14.00, I got a very small cup of the soup of the day, green chili chicken. I had a bowl of lobster bisque with a lobster paw in it at another restaurant for about the same. For the cost, a bowl should have been served. My husband had the rib eye and I had salmon, both were good but not outstanding. The room we ate in was very warm. Given it was where we were staying and not a drive, it was an ok experience.
