The next stop on the list was Sage. When we stayed at Aria last time, we didn't work this one in because we figured that since it was in Aria we would eventually try it, well eventually came. James Beard award winning chef Shawn McClain put together a menu that was extremely impressive.
We started out with a duck sausage amuse-bouche.
First up was the Foie Gras Custard ‘Brulee’ which was rich and decatant. Who knew that foie gras would make a great custard. The orange zest was also a nice touch and brightened up the flavor.
This was quite possible one of my favorite dishes from the trip. This Wagyu Beef Tartare had all the right flavors and was so good.
For the main course we had the Iberico Pork Loin which is Chef McClains signature dish. It was also served with pork shoulder and the dish tasted like Christmas all over again.
Chef McClain's most famous dish are these Maine Day Boat Scallops with Braised oxtail and wild mushrooms served over a salted caramel reduction. Outstanding.
