In school it was always harder to maintain an A then get one. Once you’ve got one, there is the added pressure of having to maintain the standard since you know you are well capable of it. Likewise once a restaurant has been highly praised, there is pressure on it to maintain its high standards.
My first visit was well over a year ago when Colin had organised our annual food bloggers’ dinner. That was a good visit. The highlight of that night, company aside, was the chestnut & oxtail consomme and truffle oil. I can still remember the powerful flavours that came from that unassuming looking soup.
Escargot & Prawns
I recently made a return trip to Sage and it still has it magic. The star of the return visit, however, was a different dish. Much like the chestnut and oxtail consomme, the risotto of Burgundy escargot and tiger prawns flambéed with pastis, Parmesan crusted poached egg and Italian parsley foam, was an explosion of flavours and textures and it was high up there on the yummy scale.
Sage is a great restaurant that is well deserving of the praise that it has received and it is one place that I recommend to many. The food is outstanding and the service is friendly but not giggly and unprofessional and my favourite part about it is that they are local talent.

unfortunately, Elaine the Maitre D lacks the charm and grace of a good hostess. you get the feeling she accedes to your requests reluctantly, only because she has to, and not because she genuinely likes hosting.
but then, we are talking abt the food, no?
