Sage Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in Whittier

PROS: good servers, lounge atmosphere, free parking and decent domestic and imported beer selection (although, the large beers are served in a plastic cup)

CONS: $6 for 6 "beer battered" onion rings (not even as good as ones you'd get from your average burger joint), not crunchy, nor tasty. $1 each, smh. I even asked the server if he had dropped some on he way to the table. Don't order these, ain't no beer in this batter. If so, it was probably Bud Light, lol.

$12 for 12 wings (they have a lot of flavors, but they taste like they were from a frozen bag from Walmart, actually a frozen Walmart bag is probably better than these), the only upside was that the habanero sauce was super spicy, almost too spicy (but I like some sting with my wings, so I enjoyed that part)

Who wants to pay $9 for an imported beer in a plastic cup, maybe at Dodger stadium, but this is supposed to be a club/restaurant. They need to invest in some large glass mugs, or scooters, anything is better than serving $9 beers in plastic cups, it's tacky and warms the beer too quickly.

The food was overpriced. I don't mind spending an extra buck on a good meal, but I won't be dining here again, it just wasn't worth it. Don't charge people for hand made food and serve them frozen dishes.

You'll get better food and more bang for your buck across the street at Golden Ox,...

My friends and I spend over $150 for a VIP table, which we got. After 9pm, we never seen any waitress, waiter, or anyone that usually serves people at the VIP tables. We had other people, that weren't with our party, sitting at our VIP and nothing by staff was done. Unless you need the owner, waiters, servers, or bartender, you had to wait excessive time for a drink. Even after I mentioned that I was my parties designated driver, I spent about an hour trying to get a Coke. Actually, a ladies saw me starting at the bar for that amount of time, that she got me the drink, Even though I was at the bar about 20 minutes before her. This place has poor air circulation, it reeked of bad sweat, drunken breath and who knows what was on their floors. So unless you don't mind being in an environment that reeks of sweat, drunken breath, and unable to breathe well, pay for VIP and not be treated as such, and most importantly wait excessive amount of time just to get a drink, then this is you place. I normally don't write bad reviews, but today was the worst night at such a place. However, the bands were great. It was just the horrible planning of this function. Hope this is useful because I will not be going back and I will definitely will not be...

Actually, I do have to give credit when it's due... I had my doubts about this place, but the manager took his time & found me after I lost my ID & personality handed it to me. This place has been pretty good to me this year...They booked an awesome Depeche Mode cover band, plus hip-hop & top 40 in the other room.

Some nights are different crowds for different nights... They also one of the few places that host Plus-Size events (for beautiful girls who have curves)... It's about time for girls w/curves can rock out (They're definitely some hotties there) & you can find them every 1st Fridays of the month. (Only complaint is... not to just specialize hip-hop/rap w/ curves; better music will attract a wider variety of people with a mix of 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s disco/funk/new wave/throwbacks/house music)

Inside the main dance room is very comfy plush/vip. Drink prices are reasonable.

When nights that have low - medium turn out... Very spacious & It's definitely just right. When nights of high volume, it can get a bit too rowdy/rough & a little uncomfortable with the type of crowd.

Cool thing is everyone kinda congregates at the taco truck 🚚 after at the parking lot next... So make time to get your game & fame...
