Vip seating? 5/1/2008

I went to Sage 400 yesterday, against my friends suggestions and the very bad reviews i've read here. We were a party of 4, being our first time here we asked the hostess if we could seat in one of the big round booths, the hostess said that those booths we for 5 or more, we looked at one of the big booths and there were a party of 3 seated in one of them, we asked the hostess that if the booths were for 5 or more how come there were 3 persons seating in one big booth, she started stuttering and went to ask the sushi manager if we could seat at one of the booths, the manager Teddy came over and said that we could not seat in the booths and said that those booths were for reservations for big parties, so we agreed to seat in one of the tables right beside the booth, it must have been 30 mins when we saw a couple get seated at the middle booth, my friend got up and asked the hostess that if those booths were reserved for big parties how come she sat a couple at one of the booths, she didn't knew what to say, and when we were about to finish we saw a party of 4 ppl get seated on the only big booth left, the manager angie came to them and we clearly heard her say " oh anything for you, you are big spenders in this restaurant and you know me so no problem" me and my friends felt snubbed, and intimidated and bullied by the fact that we were not seated in one of the big booths because we were not VIP, we asked the manag er to come over by our table and she said blamed the hostess when all of us obviously heard her, all of asudden she got an attitude and basically kicked us out by saying "I'm very sorry for all of this but if you want to leave you can" she basically kicked us out!!! she's right WE ARE NEVER COMING BACK, i should have spent 300 on another restaurant that doesn't discriminate ppl by not being big spenders, i don't recomend this restaurant to anyone!!!! the sushi is not that great for 300 bill, Pros: Chilean sea bass maybe? Cons: horrible cutomer service, bad manager more

The BEST in Houston; NO Equal 4/16/2008

I've dined here at least twice a month, every month over the last two years, and always, always had a fantastic experience. The menu is creative, and ingredients always super fresh. If you are feeling adventurous, try the raw beef roll, my favorite, or the Miso Sea Bass, the best I have ever had. The atmosphere is hip, upscale and relaxed, with really neat booths and a private area off of the bar that I and friends have had the pleasure of dining in on many occasions, without having to pay extra for it, like some other more pretentious spots in Houston. Pros: Creative menu, the freshest ingredients, reasonable prices Cons: Smallish bar more

Best Sushi in town 4/5/2008

I recently moved to the galleria area and was looking to find a sushi place close by. I have been a big fan of sushi for a long time and have eaten at sushi restaurants all over the country. I tried Uptown and Ra to my disappointment, then one of my friends told me about Sage 400. I gave it a shot and to my surprise it was some of the best sushi I had ever had. My waiter suggested I try the yellow tail appetizer, it was yellow tail thinly sliced with jalapenos and cilantro and it was excellent. I also had the Red River roll that was topped with pepper tuna and avacado and the Scorpion roll that had shrimp tempura and crab meat. I was very impressed with both rolls and I was excited to see thier menu also included items like New York Strips, Lamb Chops and all kinds of cooked appetizers like Chilean sea bass. For me that is a big plus because its sometimes hard for me to get my friends to aggree on sushi. I enjoyed Sage 400 very much and cant wait to go back. more

Excuse Me? 3/30/2008

You would think that two bottles of Dom Perignon later, the waitress would pay you a little more courtesy. No. The management is sweet. I usually have a decent time going to Sage. Considering that I will only go there to buy a bottle of champagne and sit down. The most unprofessional sushi chef I have EVER encountered!! I asked the waitress to tell him to make a vegetarian roll--OTHER than Futomaki. But oh! What do I get?? Futomaki with Tamago on it. I'm sitting there thinking... Is this guy serious? I call the management out, I tell her what happened. She marches me to the sushi bar--where the chef is GLARING at me. Honestly, he should've been fired a long time ago. Anyway. The owner apologized. But they charged me for the sushi anyway? Regardless. I almost feel like she tried to care, but forgot to. I don't go to Sage 400 anymore. I'll drive the ten minutes and go to Richshaw instead. Cons: Customer Service is terrible. Even after having been there a while. more

Nice Atmosphere... sushi is ok, but I've had better... 1/10/2008

The place is nice for a date or to have dinner with friends. It's in a great location, but the sushi was disappointing. The volcano roll was over-powered by the sauce they used and the california roll tasted fishy.... Pros: Great social spot Cons: Not so great sushi more

Good Lunch Spot 12/26/2007

I like the simple but modern decor. When you walk in, the hostess always tells you the special bento of the day (and shows you in the front) before sitting you down. You get a good mix of sushi bentos for $15 or less. Service is friendly, sushi is fresh and delicious. I love their salad with their awesome salad dressing. more

Bad service...bad food. 11/17/2007

I would definitely NOT recommend Sage 400 to anyone. Went to dinner Friday night with a friend. Ordered a specialty cucumber roll. The roll did not look or taste very good. After waiting 10 minutes for our waitress, we flagged another waiter to try to return the roll. Instead of helping us, he left for another 10 minutes, trying to find our waitress. He returned without our waitress, and again tried to explain the taste of the food. We again explained that we wished to return the roll, and asked to see the manager. This is after 20 minutes of spending with the cucumber roll. The manager never came out. We were told that she was on the phone, and could not get away. At this time, our waitress decided to grace us with her presence, and said that she was away because she thought we were already taken care of. She apologized for the taste of the roll. She explained, ""This is our favorite roll, but it is an acquired taste. 50% like it and 50% do not"". To which we thought... how can this be the favorite, if half of the people do not like it? more

Finally, the waitress agreed to exchange it, but said we would still have to pay the higher price. Feeling exhausted, we agreed. Trying to forget the whole experience, we continued trying to enjoy the rest of the night. But, after 30 minutes, the waitress appeared and asked if we could free up the table and move to the bar, if we were not to order ANYMORE FOOD! Definitely the worst sushi experience, definitely will not be back... Try at your own risk... more

Great Bartenders! 10/29/2007

It was our first time visting this restaurant. We were seated in the dining room. After 10 minutes we were still not greeted, so we moved to the bar. The bartender was a young lady who apparently noticed that was had moved from the dining area. She apologized for the waiters and promised to make it up to us. She was wonderful! The food was prompt and the service was excellent. Thanks to her we will be returning soon, but only to dine at the bar. more

Service ruined the experience 10/15/2007

I went to Sage 400 with my husband and another couple on a Friday night. Initially we had a great time-- the atmosphere was welcoming and chic, the food was fresh, and we had all commented that we couldn't wait to come back. When the bill came, we paid with a credit card and stayed about 10 minutes after signing while finishing our drinks. The waiter returned and asked for more tip because he has to share it with the bartender and bussers. He kept saying, ""I don't mean to be rude, but I'm sure you'll understand where I'm coming from."" Of course we understand that he does not keep every penny. The service was nothing special. He did his job and nothing more. We tipped over 15% after excluding tax, and were appauled that we were asked for more. We felt bullied into leaving more money. We told the manager, but she seemed unconcerned. We will not be returning. Pros: Sushi, location Cons: Service, parking more
