    Took way too long to get drinks on rooftop before dinner, appetizers good, 3/4 of mains were unflavorfull and two ribeye specials were full of gristle…so much so I had to spit two bites into my napkin and then gave up. Mgt provide free desserts and two steak specials were half off. When bills came steak specials were not on ticket at all and as we were paying, waiter came back to apologize then for billing error and added back on half price steaks that neither patron finished. Doubt we would go back.

    The mushroom entre was really not good (and I like mushrooms)! I’ve eaten at Sage many times and this was the first truly disappointing meal I’ve had!

    Food and service were fabulous! Noisy table next to us, which is not what we expect for a romantic experience. No outdoor table service other than rooftop bar.
