An excellent antipasto plate offers a wide variety of tasty morsels. A chocolate truffle cake provides a fine finish to your meal. But the duck rolls are greasy (and return for hours after) and the crab cakes are tasteless and greasy, too. Best feature are the high ceilings on the outdoor patio that which make it easy to talk with... more

Dining at this restuarant is a mixed bag. The service is great, the food is pretty good, the atmosphere is so-so and the chef/owner is in desperate need of some etiquette. The prices are much too high for the quality of the food presented. It is fine dining for the uninformed. The chef here seems to believe that elequently stating... more

- Terrible front desk service, either not there, or not paying attention. - Extremely slow table service. - Restaurant decor is really bad, terrible lighting. - Good bread, decent salds. - Entrees are mediocre at best. more

Nice setting, good service but the food was not special. My wife and I both walked away at the disconnect between the ambition and execution. The menu reads great, but the delivered food was just not that good. dinner for two with just one glass of win each was $125, so value is not a strong point here either. We... more

I took my fiancee and two friends to this restaurant on July 8, 2006. We were able to get an early seat on the covered patio and had to try just about everything we could off the menu. we had a plate of the short ribs and ahi spring rolls. Then a plate of crab cakes, followed by a grab... more

We just visited the one in Crystal Cove. Whilst I cannot fault the food, it was all delicious, I felt some of the dishes were over priced for what they were ($9 for all desserts). If I were in the area again I would not return again due to the cold attitude of the staff, although the service was good... more

We tried the recommended BBQ pork crepe, seafood pizza, and Filet mignon. All were excellent. Some tables are a little too close though. My friends have tried this and loved it as well. more

This is an excellent restaurant, Outstanding food as well as presentation, Excellent service, and pleasing atmostphere. Do not miss the chance to dine here. We read a review about MODO MIO, a restaurant located in the same Crystal Cove area and went there first. After listening to the waiter we could not understand rattle off way too many "specials", bring... more

Actually two of them now - new one on PCH in Crystal Cove isn't so secret & is very hard to get reservations for at the moment - very popular. Original Sage, tucked away in the Eastbluff Shopping Center is still quiet & calm & has an outdoor patio. Great salads (add a grilled chicken breast if it doesn't sound... more
