    Service, service, service. Wow, they know how to treat people at Sage. It was my wife’s birthday dinner and they treated her amazing. Pre dinner cocktails at the bar were fabulous and the bartender was awesome. Our dinner service was best I have had in the area. Food was spectacular. We will be back very soon. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

    Enjoyed cocktails and apps in bar at happy hour and then enjoyed early bird dinner at a lovely table overlooking the water in restaurant. Our waitress, Jessica, was very attentive and delightful. Our meals were delicious and plentiful; we took home 1/2 our meals to enjoy the next day. We’ll definitely be back!
