text: So I finally got to eat at Sage after several failed attempts the past few times I've been in town.\nI have to say it was worth all the hype and did not disappoint.\n\nWe both got Chef McClain's Signature Tasting Menu.\nStarted off with the amuse bouche was a single oyster with Tabasco foam on top.\nI started off my 1st course with the Shaved Brussels Sprout salad with pears, macadamia nuts and crisp bacon mixed in.  I enjoyed this dish because I love brussels sprouts in any form.\nOh as an extra we got the Foie Gras Custard Brulee with a hint of blood orange taste -I thought this was an excellent pairing of something you wouldn't normally put together.  It came with warm salted brioche as well.\n*2nd course-Maine Day Boat Scallops with braised oxtail and shitake mushrooms. This course was my favorite of the whole meal-scallop was cooked perfectly and the oxtail and mushroom complimented it so well.\nThen the 3rd course was the 48 Hour Beer Belly-the meat was very tender and delicious.\nFor the 4th course dessert I chose the chocolate tart that had crunchy bits of nuts on top which gave it an overall taste like nutella to me :)\n\nAnd to top the meal off we did the whole presentation at our table of a BLAZING (now legalized) Absinthe liquor where you first have to inhale the fumes through a straw before drinking it.  Very impressive and cool and to be warned very potent. \n\nService was wonderful, interior was beautiful, everything was pretty much perfection.
