"A solid 4 stars. We came here last week on our anniversary jaunt to Santa Barbara. After a long day of whale watching and wine tasting, the last thing we ended up being in the mood for was a fancy dinner. As it turned out, the Sage and Onion was absolutely lovely. We were served an amouse buche of some kind of yummy thick blended tomato-y soup in a cute little espresso cup. The truffled white cheddar souffle was a delicious beginning, and surprisingly light and fluffy, it didn't weigh us down but got us excited about the main course. Our main courses were fantastic. Mine was steak with scalloped potatoes and rapini that were to die for. Hers was ahi perfectly seared tuna in a coconut curry lemongrass sauce, and she LOVED it. The owner said hello, and even gave us some unbelievable cabernet (on the house, it was a 2003 Jordan Cabernet that was the best wine of the trip). I was so full by dessert that I only ordered sorbet, which was as sweet and refreshing as I'd hoped it would be. It was a wonderful night, and made our anniversary not just the special night it was, but special AND tasty! And the waiter was adorable to boot (just look for the tall, dark, and handsome guy)! We'll happily return next time we're in SB."
Pros: Delicious, nice staff and owner.
