As a Chicagoan, I'm so proud of Chef Shawn McClain and his restaurant Sage! From a huge of list of celebrated chefs and their restaurants to choose from in Vegas, Sage made it to our list of places to dine. No, regrets whatsoever. In fact, we walked out as happy and very satisfied diners.\n\nI tried their 4-course Signature Tasting Menu and my husband went with the ala carte options. The wonderful thing about it is that the entire table doesn't have to do the tasting menu. Phew. However, if you want to do the 10-course menu then the entire table needs to also do it because of the complexity of trying to coordinate everyone's meals.\n\nFor the 4-course Signature Tasting Menu, you get to choose between options for each course. I chose the market oysters for my first course and to my surprise, I was given FIVE oysters! Woah! I love raw oysters on the shell so that was a great plus. Then I had the seared scallops which was also very good. The beef belly was the star of the tasting menu. It was so soft it literally melted in my mouth. Ended the tasting menu with profiteroles for dessert which was so good.\n\nAs for the ala carte menu which my husband went with, he had roasted sweetbreads which he was very happy about. I tried a piece and the soft texture was amazing. He had the hanger steak and it was prepared to perfection just as he requested: rare.\n\nService was also professional and attentive. Our server gave us a reasonable amount of time in between getting seated, ordering drinks, then food and also came to check in on us without overdoing it.\n\nSage is easily one of the top restaurants in Vegas.\n\nNote to Chicagoans: I asked our server about Chef Shawn McClain and apparently he has plans to gradually close his restaurant businesses in Chicago to focus fulltime in his Las Vegas venture.
