It is a sad day when a restaurant with whom you have a long established relationship is completely destroyed in one night. My wife and I have been frequent patrons of Sage. I even had my wife's 40th birthday party at this restaurant spending over $1000. We had dinner reservations for Valentines Day in our usual spot. We like to sit at the end of the bar and have dinner (especially on Valentines Day). We have done this for many years. We arrived only to find that our reservations were mishandled. The host explained that he misunderstood when I called to place my reservation and had reserved the table at the end of the bar instead of our regular spot. While we were deciding whether or not to take the table offered another couple hurried past us to claim that table. We later found out that the table was not reserved for us but for the couple that hurried past us to sit at that table. I guess they were worried about having there spot mishandled. The host, after several conversations with my wife and I, did offer us a table in the dinning room so that we could have a "new experience". We refused and suggested that he relocate a couple, who were only having drinks, from one end of the bar to the other so that we could be accommodated. He refused. He also refused to apologize because he said that he was not a sorry person and there was nothing else he could do and that there were other guests that also very special that were awaiting their tables. As far as how good the food was...We have no idea. We were never served. My wife and I are devastated! My wife and I feel that we have lost a very good friend and now know that any "new experience" will not include Sage on Sycamore!!
