   The service was good and the environment was quaint and charming. However, the food was incredibly underwhelming for the price. I wouldn’t come back for food in the future.

   I dined in a group of 3. We were a bit taken aback when we received the bill and were charged a 25%“large party fee”. The cocktails were good, but the food was mediocre and missing multiple ingredients. For the price, this was overrated.

   We came for Valentine’s Day and it was a very poor experience. Our food came out cold twice (my soup came out cold and both of our $30+ entrees came out cold). At least two tables near us had the same experience too. I read reviews about this restaurant prior to coming and we experienced the same things others did, which is too bad. Sorry for leaving a poor review, but this was the worst dining experience I have ever had and we paid a lot to dine here that night.

   For a Valentine's Dinner we hoped to have food that was at least great quality and value. Apparently, the day we went they ran out of potatoes for Mashed Potatoes with the filet mignon. We we're starving and hoped to have some food that would provide us satisfaction. My girlfriend ordered the Filet Mignon which they subbed pasta in place of the potatoes. I ordered Fettuccine and added steak. When the plates were delivered we were shocked. The portion was really small. So small my girlfriend was still hungry after the main course! Normally for dinner a plate will leave her full and satisfied. The size of the Mignon was about less than an inch thick and about 2inches in length. The price $35! My added steak was even smaller, about the size of an index finger and middle finger together. The taste was pretty good but value was poor. I felt ripped off by the prices. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a nice ambience. The servers were incredibly hospitable and friendly. Again, my disappointment lies with the food itself.

   Go for the drinks, and only the drinks. The food was honestly terrible.

   We had reservations at Sage for Valentine’s Day and unfortunately it was quite a bad experience. My partner and I both ordered a soup as appetizers, which we did not get until over an hour after we first arrived. They were forgot about until shortly before our entrees came out, and came out after we got our main course. Our entrees were… not good. My partner had the filet mignon, with a vegetable and mashed potatoes, but they ran out of vegetables and mashed potatoes… and they served the filet, which was lukewarm, with a side of fettuccine without warning (good thing we didn’t have a gluten allergy). I got the mushroom fettuccine for my main course. There was barely any mushrooms and my pasta was also borderline cold. The drinks however were very good and one of the two servers was very helpful, and comped our soups, but the other was either overwhelmed or inattentive. Getting the soups knocked off the bill was nice however we still didn’t feel that this made up for the overall let down we experienced. PS it was very cold in the restaurant, which is somewhat understandable since it was snowing out but then maybe turn the heat up some more or have a second barrier between the entrance and the dining area.

   Atmosphere was great for our valentines dinner. There was a few miss communications with staff that we were able to smooth out. For the price I would have expected slightly higher quality. The dessert was a huge disappointment.

   I hate to say this about a small local restaurant in Bay View as we were truly rooting for this place, but my husband and I could not believe how terrible the food was at Sage. The french onion soup - onions were barely cooked, the broth was horrible, had maybe 3 'hard as rocks' croutons, and straight out of the package square pieces of cheese melted on top with a torch (smelled like burnt hair). The 'french herbed bread' for $9 was 4 small white bread toast points over-fried in butter with large chopped green onions sprinkled on top and that's it! Then the fettuccine alfredo - noodles were so overcooked they were falling apart in my mouth, alfredo sauce was just melted butter, and once again had huge pieces of chopped green onion sprinkled on top. The meal was truly inedible. Service was great though as they were kind and efficient throughout.

   The place is cool, food was good but we had to wait 1/2 hour to be seated for our reservation, they sat us by a window that had a huge crack in it and they added a gratuity fee of 25% when we didn’t feel they deserved that much with our experience.

    It’s possible for anyone to have an off night so I’ll prefer to give Sage the benefit of the doubt. We arrived just a couple minutes early for our reservation and it was immediately obvious the staff was in the weeds. We took a seat at the bar to wait and had very pleasant conversation if brief with the bartender, but didn’t get to our table for almost a half hour. The menu looked interesting so we put in for everything: two entrees, a salad and small appetizer as soon as someone came to talk to us. Then, we waited. People that were seated when we first arrived started getting their food and our concern grew. Water glasses empty and drinks finished we waited. The ambiance was nice, others’ conversations were not too loud nor was the music. After a while our entrees arrived, followed by the salad and app, and a glass of wine previously forgotten was delivered. The steam was tender and prepared well, but I cannot say the same for the sides, potatoes over seasoned with too much pepper, mushrooms chewy as though they had come from a can. The schnitzel was too thin and overcooked, tough and not really edible. We were surprised that 25% gratuity had already been added to the bill and I’m sure they could read the temperature of the room when they didn’t ask how things were with the meal. We thanked them and left, the entire evening taking about 2.5 hours. All of this is to say that Sage could very well be a nice neighborhood restaurant, and certainly has a lot of potential, but maybe we just caught them on the wrong night.
