I spend enough at Bed Bath and Beyond, I should probably just get a weekend job there for discounts. But they have such good deals, especially on those random household essentials that other stores don't seem to stock as much, and I cook a fair bit and I'm obsessively organized, so I end up here a lot. Anyway, this is my closest location and I've always had excellent service here. I seem to buy a lot of wedding presents here too, go figure.

Sage is a fabulous restaurant, but I think chef Shawn McClain needs to tame his passion for fat. Two of us had the 4 course menu. I started with the market oysters, each a perfect mouthful, with delicious piquillo pepper and tequila mignotte. Next I had day boat scallops, prepared in a very rich oxtail broth with wild mushrooms. The beef and mushrooms almost overwhelmed the scallops but it was an intriguing contrast. Third course was the Iberico pork roast. The crispy confit and surprisingly the brussel sprouts and dates that accompanied it were delicious. My dessert was warm carrot cake, very light, with a coconut sauce, a lovely ending to the meal. My husband had the Wagyu beef tartare for his first course and honestly the fat was overwhelming. We know to expect Wagyu or Kobe beef to be highly marbled, but in raw form it was very unctuous and hard to have more than a couple bites. His second course was lobster agnolotti, which was more like cannelloni than traditional agnolotti, but quite tasty. His third course was the 48 hour beef belly (hey, he choose it). Yes, beef belly is a lot like pork belly only pork belly is a lot tastier in IMHO. His dessert was the chocolate and caramel tart, which was essentially a very intense version of a Snickers bar. We had the wine pairings which presented a interesting selection and introduced us to a new varietal, Gruner Veltliner. I'd definitely recommend Sage, but balance the lighter foods with the richer ones.

I loved Sens, and SoChu House is even better... they had me at bacon wrapped lychee. Can be a bit pricey if you overindulge. I would recommend starting off with 2 or 3 items to share if you are with a friend, then just order more if needed. **I would give this place 5 stars for the ambience, decor, and music; however, I've tried numerous times via email, Facebook, Instagram, and by calling to find out the name of the artist of the painting by the dj booth- which was also at Sens, but mgt hasn't responded and no one knows when I call. Once I actually have someone respond to me, the 4 goes up to 5. **
