text: I don't know if I was particularly starving or exhausted or some sick combination of both, but I didn't go into Sage expecting a whole lot, but was blown away by the service and the food quality! \n\nIt was surprisingly empty for a Friday night, but as long as the food is good, what do I care?  I got the Chef's menu and enjoyed every single dish.  The chef started us off with a little amuse bouche of some sort of escargot.  I'm not a huge fan of snails, but this one tasted a bit smoky and not too much like snail, so all was well.  My first dish was the Wagyu Beef Tartare, with a poached egg yolk on top.  It was served with a generous amount of delicious toasted bread soaked in olive oil and the combination of the beef, egg, and bread was fantastic.  It was followed up with a couple of seared scallops and braised oxtail.  the scallops were cooked perfectly and the oxtail was so tender it practically fell apart.  My main dish was a 48 hour beef belly (actually, it's marinated for 24 hours, then cooked for 48 hours, so it should really be called a 72 hour beef belly) which was so tender it literally melted in my mouth.  By that time, I was completely full; however, this beef belly was so good I finished it all and powered through.  I finished off my meal with an apple and fennel crumble-like concoction with some brown butter ice cream.  While it was delicious, it was way too sweet for me and I couldn't handle it after the copious amount of food I just ingested.\n\nRegardless, the service was amazing - all of the waiters were very attentive and friendly.  The food was delicious and completely blew me away!  I don't know why this restaurant wasn't more packed, because I've definitely been to other \"higher-rated\" restaurants that underwhelmed and disappointed me.  I'd recommend Sage if you're looking for a great meal at a great price!
