Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Sago offers an enticing "Miami/Ibiza vibe" with a stunning atmosphere, live music, and creative small plates. The "lobster bao buns were delicious," and cocktails are a highlight. While some reviews mention service inconsistencies, guests rave about the "beautiful decor" and "amazing" food. Ideal for tapas and cocktails, not full meals.

    What’s the point of recognizing your birthday at the hostess stand, when the server doesn’t mention it, nor offer to comp a dessert after spending $200? Otherwise, service was a bit slow, and they brought us the wrong food. The wagyu was the redeeming factor.

    Beautiful inside!! Service was attentive and friendly from the hostess to the server to the bus staff. Some of the more popular dishes were sold out. We ordered: Drinks: 1 N 4$17.00 3 N 3$51.00 1 N 2$17.00 1 Titos$15.00 Rocks$2.00 3 Titos$45.00 Dirty$3.00 Martini 1 Titos$15.00 Food: 2 Tuna Sashimi$44.00 2 Mei Goreng$34.00 1 Wagyu Skewer$18.00 Service Charge (4.00%)$10.44 Plus the lobster buns which they forgot about so they were nice enough to comp it and eventually serve. We loved the food but the portions are very small. And I'm wondering if we got charged for an extra drink we didn't order/receive now that I'm looking at the receipt... Also, it's a little annoying they charged $2 more for ice with the vodka drink and an extra $3 to make it a dirty martini. The music was great and upbeat. The dance floor was open around 10pm (Friday night). Crowd: around 9:30-ish, the crowd got much younger. A flood of early 20 year olds took over the place but they seemed well mannered and dressed nice. If they want the repeat dinner crowd, they should rethink portion sizes because the 20 year olds won't be spending that kind of money for small portions and the other patrons that are able and willing to spend can eat better elsewhere for the same price. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and super glad we tried it.

    The food was delicious but overpriced and ridiculously small! I mean a few bites per plate. The tuna was like four slices, cut pursuitto thin... Drinks were good. A 4% service fee was added to the bill, which I didn’t know until receipt was printed as I was asked to pay on a terminal without any line items. 4 small plates and two drinks was $175. Place has a cool vibe and beautiful interior but the food misses on value. Will not be going back.

    I was initially eager to try this establishment but was left deeply disappointed. This is not a traditional restaurant but rather a lounge serving tapas, which were of poor quality. Each tapa costs $20 or more, yet they were excessively salty and inedible. Additionally, the staff would clear plates prematurely, even while we were still eating. The atmosphere was unpleasant, with music at a volume more suited to a nightclub. The cocktails were another letdown, served in inexpensive glassware and tasting like low-quality drinks from a budget club. Overall, it was a poor experience, and I cannot recommend this place.

    Service is really lacking. Terrible music that’s far too loud. Good food though.

    Food and service was great but such small portions for the price. We ordered about 8 dishes between the 3 of us and still left very hungry

    The manager Joey was amazing, he made our experience so nice smooth. There was a mistake where they somehow got overbooked and he moved our table of 3 out of a loud and busy area where there was a party of 35 drunk ppl and he took care of our bill for the inconvenience. He was super sweet and so was our waitress Kirsten!!! The food was 10/10, we came down from LA so we will def be coming back! Thank you Joey and Kirsten! <33333

    Food and drinks were outstanding and the pacing of it all was equally great (meaning staff didn’t just dump all tapas at one time). The drinks were their signature creative spins on an espresso martini and piña colada that were both delicious and unique. Music would not have started until 8PM but we had to leave for the Light Show at Botanical Gardens.
