I highly recommend Sage. Great food (familiar but with a twist), service was casual yet attentive, and the dining room is what I'd think "dark romantic" (if you're into plush carpets, dark velvet, beautiful chandeliers, and walls with large purple projections of Édouard Manet's "Le Déjeuner sur l'Herbe (The Luncheon on the Grass)).

Sage is awesome. I ate there on Monday night and my GF and I had the 4 course pre-fixe with an amuse to start and a little shot of hot chocolate to finish our desert the meal and the service were wonderful.

We ate at this restaurant on Saturday, and we found it very, very expensive for average fish. The star of the evening was the cornmeal crusted trout. My Branzino (3 small medallions) was tender, buttery and rather bland. My partner requested no sauces on the plate, and it was still served with three swipes of colorful sauce streaks under the fish entree. The plate was taken back and the fish was moved away from the sauce on a fresh half plate but the small salad and 3-tiny bacon wrapped potatoes were now sitting in the sauce on the other half. It may have been a communication error, but it was disappointing. Two fish dinners, no alcohol, one soft drink and the bill was close to $100. Very expensive. The restaurant was almost empty. Atmosphere was nice. The next time we are at Aria, we will try Sage.

Sage is the best restaurant in Aria and should not be missed. I had a great meal at JG steakhouse and would definitely go back. Juliano Serrano is a solid lunch spot. I have pictures from all these on my facebook listed in my profile.

Definitely check out Sage. Been there twice and had two great meals.

I also have been to American Fish once and it was good, but I would much rather go to Sage. Had a lobster wellington, which is about the same price as the lobster pot pie at Michael Mina and the lobster pot pie is definitely better. If you have a chance, go to Michael Mina in the Bellagio and get it.

I have also been intrigued with Sirio, every time I walk by the place it is packed.
