I came here with a group of 9 for a friend's birthday weekend, and somehow, we were able to get last minute reservations. For a restaurant as popular at Sage, it was amazing! \n\nWe started off with a selection of bread. I tried both the sourdough and the bacon bread. You'd think that bacon bread is great, but it was a bit salty and not as good as I would've expected. It was still very interesting. The bread also came with some herb butter and salt, which was especially nice with the sourdough. Following the bread, we received a starter (an amuse-bouche ,which was definitely a fancy touch). I can't quite recall what was in it, but it was also very interesting in its combination of tastes.\n\nFor the main course, I ordered the braised wagyu short rib, which was delicious. It was sweet and well-braised, and came with some veggies on top. I believe its was pieces of sliced potatoes and/or radish. While it didn't look very big, it was deceivingly filling. I'd definitely recommend this one.\n\nI also tried some of my friends' dishes. The duck breast was very tasty. Also, I had a bit of the gnocchi, which was very rich. I can imagine that my friends who had ordered that one were very full. \n\nOne thing that I was disappointed with was that they charge you for sparkling water! Not OK! With a restaurant as nice as this, the \"flat or sparkling water?\" question should yield complementary waters with either choice. Anyway, over that!\n\nOverall, I was impressed with the restaurant and the food. The ambiance is pretty nice although most of the clientele seems to be of the older crowd. We were probably the youngest ones in the restaurant. Would like to come back!
