We
were
in
Nelson
during
our
anniversary,
and
given
the
good
reviews,
decided
to
try
Sage
for
a
celebratory
dinner.
It
proved
to
be
a
bad
decision.
There
were
10
to
12
patrons
in
the
small
dining
room
with
one
server.
The
menu
offerings
were
limited
and
seemed
all
over
the
place.
We
chose
the
Grilled
Caesar
Salad,
an
app
of
Spicy
Tuna
Tartare
and
the
Herb
Crusted
Rack
of
Lamb.
We
ordered
glasses
of
wine
and
waited,
and
waited.
The
salad
arrived
about
25
minutes
later.
Some
interesting
flavors
at
the
outset,
but
you
were
left
with
plain
Romaine
half
way
through.
After
another
45
minutes
we
received
our
tuna
appetizer.
The
four
small
wontons
were
light,
but
all
the
other
ingredients
including
more
avocado
then
tuna
were
so
drowned
in
sesame
oil
and
soy
sauce
you
could
discern
no
other
flavors.
Finally,
almost
an
hour
and
half
after
ordering,
the
rack
of
lamb
arrived.
There
were
four
pieces
of
lamb,
each
heavily
breaded,
apparently
pan
fried
and
grossly
over
cooked.
We
had
requested
medium
rare
and
cut
into
one
to
find
a
dull
grey.
We
didn't
even
try
it.
We
were
told
that
they
would
remake
it
for
us,
but
it
would
take
another
45
minutes.
We
declined.
We
weren't
the
only
table
that
evening
that
sent
a
main
course
back
to
the
kitchen.
So
our
anniversary
dinner
costing
over
$90
consisted
of
a
salad,
four
indistinguishable
bites
of
an
appetizer,
and
three
glasses
of
wine
-
the
most
disastrous
dining
experience
we've
ever
had.
Our
waitress,
the
only
server
on
the
floor,
deserves
the
star,
probably
more
then
one.
The
kitchen
earned
a
big
naught.
Sadly,
it's
our
opinion
you
should
avoid
Sage.
