Great steak and Italian place in Lincolnwood. It’s a high end option - not cheap. I’ve been there 3 times and it’s been spot on service, nice ambience, and good food. Worth a trip if you want to avoid downtown

Sage was a great waiter. The noise level was pretty high. We were seated next to a large party with some very young children that were loud.

Great dinner! We had the petite filet w/ bearnaise sauce, chicken Vesuvio and Au gratin potatoes. And, a creme brûlée for dessert! The service was great! We were seated in the enclosed addition. It was pretty cold despite the heater that was blowing. We were also seated next to a door that had to be opened to get highchairs. The lights kept getting turned up bright then turned down, then back up!!! We’ll return but won’t be sitting outside! The free valet is a nice touch too.
