Reviews for SAGA in New York, NY
This was the best dining experience we have had. Spectacular attention to detail, wonderful staff, amazing views, delicious and... interesting food. I think the big question we had going in was "is it worth the price?" We are willing to spend money on goodfood/experiences, but we aren't wealthy so it is a little nerve-wracking dropping this much money and hoping for the best. Letme tell you - it was worth every penny and I would do it again. The pacing was perfect. We were there I think maybe 3 hours orsomething like that? But it never dragged, nor did we ever feel rushed. The staff took the time to talk to us about theirfavorites or to explain things in detail when we had questions. A great as everything else was, it's the people that make thisplace. There are tons of reasons to love this place, and I feel like they mostly get covered in other reviews, but the onething that really stood out for us, although seemingly a small piece of the experience, was the Moroccan tea time. For 10minutes, we were alone, quiet, serene...in NYC. This was the only 10 minutes of our great experience in NYC where we felt likewe got a minute to just be. Read more
Spectacular dining experience. The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was well executed, inventive, beautifully presented,... delicious, and balanced. And there were a lot of dishes. The service was great, and the space was airy, with a spectacular view.Throughout the course of the meal, the guests didn?t just sit still all in one place. From the pre-meal cocktail at the bar andthen roof deck, to the tea ceremony in a different space, the guests are expected to move, and I really love that. It felt likeI was visiting the chef?s home.

Had a great time here. Arrived around sunset time and saw a great view. Only one of the two balconies has a good view of sunset.... Food is great too. Dry aged duck is full of flavors and dishes that have Moroccan and Asian influence combined great flavor withgood ingredients and techniques! Read more
Excellent meal and really well orchestrated. Perfect for a special event or celebration. Upon getting off the elevator we were... greeted at the bar and offered complimentary cocktails in a choice of 4 "flavor profiles". We were then escorted out onto theterrace to enjoy drinks with a view. And what a view! There was a fabulous view to the north, east and south, and fortunatelythe weather was lovely. Next, while still on the terrace, we were give an overview of the dinner with the waiter who also tookour selection for the main savory course (duck or lamb) and desserts. After drinks we were escorted to our table for adelicious meal. The courses flowed well and the balance of flavors was great. After the main course there was a tea service onanother glassed in terrace which worked well. I had hear some earlier criticism about awkward flow to the dinner with too muchmoving about, but I think whatever changes were made worked spectacularly well. I look forward to dining there again.

Everything was exceptionally prepared and presented here. I also loved the vibe that the playlist and individual personalities... brought. For how refined the food was, SAGA didn't feel stuffy or intimidating. Many dishes had personal origin stories andpoints of inspiration, which I appreciate. Definitely get the wine pairing. You won't be disappointed. Read more

Come to Saga for stunning views of NYC and a curated fine dining experience. All the dishes were exquisite in their... presentation. The Arctic Char was my favorite dish, followed by the salad and the chocolate dessert. I personally found theRoast Duck chewy (it's not my preferred choice of meat) but it was still good. Overall, I'd recommend a visit Saga for a special celebration, provided you're able to secure a reservation (they're hard to come by). Read more
