We have patronized the Sage restaurant in Tallahassee for years, probably since it initially opened. Ordinarily, it’s an above average to outstanding rating. However, on a recent trip with friends, we experienced less than satisfactory service and food quality.
First, we were seated promptly per...our reservation. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable, and was very helpful in menu selections. The problems started when an entrée was delivered during a time when appetizers are usually delivered. Secondly, while waiting for our meals, a couple in our party ordered refills from the bar. It took three or four requests before the second round was delivered. Then the meals took a very long time to be served which was highly unusual.
Overall the taste and quality of the food served was pretty much on par, but what was most noticeable was the much smaller portion sizes.
The dessert orders were also miss handled, so much so that one party canceled that order entirely.
Hopefully, this was just an off night, as I’m sure all restaurants experience from time to time. This will not discourage us from returning to one of our favorite eateries and giving them another shot.More
