I called in advance to see if it was o.k. to bring our own birthday cake, which it was. Our party started rolling in at 8 pm. As our group expanded the wait staff found us more chairs until other near-by tables emptied out. No one had to wait long to order drinks that were top notch. I ordered some of the house's specialty cocktails that were excellent - there bartenders know how to pour! Though most of us had already eaten, we ordered up a number of appetizers after a few rounds of drinks. The dates wrapped in bacon were perfect ( o hard crusty skins o the dates - they were warm and soft and melted in your mouth with a silky texture next to the smoky-saltiness of the bacon) We also got an anti-pasta platter that was nearly licked clean by the time we left. The kitchen dressed up the birthday cake and served it with a beautiful light fresh fruit garnish. They also found some birthday candles, which I had forgotten, and didn't embarrass the birthday boy by singing - his friends took care of that. We came from out of town to a place we had never been to have, what became, a fabulous night. The ambiance and staff at the Sapphire were a big part of that success!
Pros: Great Service! Delightful Menu with excellent Food! Great Drinks! Parking seemed easy.
