Sage Restaurant and Lounge - Whittier

I didn't order any food but I did try to order drinks. Service was slow but it was also crowded and I think they were short staffed.

I visited Sage this past weekend, as I do whenever I have a chance to go and enjoy their delicious drinks and/or happy hour during the week. I wanted to especially acknowledge Moises, the bartender who made my delicious drinks this past Saturday. I am so thankful to him for going above and beyond to make my visit even more fun and enjoyable. He is always awesome, along with the rest of the staff. I look forward to being at Sage again soon.

Extremely crowded. Bat near stage. Allowed friends to cut in line, and employee to grab a beer . No place to sit unless, reserved. An awful experience. Saturday night.

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 recommending this place.

Good music for people 45 and over, but the place could use some love. Nice decor, paint, new floors, plants, more tables and more seating would help. Lastly, they charge $10 cash only at door which is a little mysterious.
