text: As a Chicagoan I am so proud of Chef Shawn McClain and his restaurant Sage From a huge of list of celebrated chefs and their restaurants to choose from in Vegas Sage made it to our list of places to dine No regrets whatsoever In fact we walked out as happy and very satisfied dinersnnI tried their course Signature Tasting Menu and my husband went with the ala carte options The wonderful thing about it is that the entire table does not have to do the tasting menu Phew However if you want to do the course menu then the entire table needs to also do it because of the complexity of trying to coordinate everyone is mealsnnFor the course Signature Tasting Menu you get to choose between options for each course I chose the market oysters for my first course and to my surprise I was given FIVE oysters Woah I love raw oysters on the she will so that was a great plus Then I had the seared scallops which was also very good The beef belly was the star of the tasting menu It was so soft it literally melted in my mouth Ended the tasting menu with profiteroles for dessert which was so goodnnAs for the ala carte menu which my husband went with he had roasted sweetbreads which he was very happy about I tried a piece and the soft texture was amazing He had the hanger steak and it was prepared to perfection just as he requested rarennService was also professional and attentive Our server gave us a reasonable amount of time in between getting seated ordering drinks then food and also came to check in on us without overdoing itnnSage is easily one of the top restaurants in VegasnnNote to Chicagoans I asked our server about Chef Shawn McClain and apparently he has plans to gradually close his restaurant businesses in Chicago to focus fulltime in his Las Vegas venture
