Once again...a meal that was fantastic, fresh, and well cooked. Wife had an Amaretto Sour, which is made with Disaronno and she loves that drink, saying it's well balanced and she likes that they don't use the egg foam on top. She also ordered off the Crabby Hour menu some scallops on the half shell and some roasted brussels sprouts. This place knows how to roast spouts so that they are tender and toasted and not overdone. So yummy! The scallops are served with a light ponzu sauce drizzled over which complimented the tender scallops. Delicious! From the Restaurant Week menu, I chose the crab & Artichoke dip which we love and it isn't typically on their menu. It was so good and I had to ask for some extra toast points because there was so much dip! I also got the stripped bass, which was cooked to perfection although a smaller portion than the one you get from the regular menu. They do bass right! And for dessert, chose the Pumpkin Pot de Creme, which was my first taste of pumpkin for the season. Creamy and so good although I took off most of the whip cream because it was a lot. Overall another wonderful meal at our favorite fish restaurant!

Came here for happy hour since I was craving some oysters. There were a decent amount of people…read morewaiting when we got there but we waited less than 20 minutes. We got seated at the bar and just ordered a few items off the happy hour menu. We ordered the voodoo fried rice, smoked trout dip, and we ordered 16 oysters. The fried rice was great! I love that it was a little spicy. It was a good size of split between the 2 of us. The dip was also pretty good and had a good Smokey flavor. We ordered 16 oysters ($2.50/ea) and got 8 buck & rider, 4 Hama Hama, and 4 Hollywood. They all were really good. I think I liked the buck & rider and Hollywood the most. Service was really quick as we were sitting at the bar so they were pretty attentive. The dishes came out pretty quickly after we ordered. It was a little loud in the restaurant so it was kind of hard to hear each other but that's ok because they were pretty full so that's to be expected.

We like to go when it's happy hour, which is actually on weekends until 5:00! Quite a nice addition, you can get $5 draft beer and $10 calamari and shrimp and chips and guac. (Ask to add the Caribbean salsa!!) That's what we start with and then we split the ribeye aguachiles which is like nothing else you've ever tried - it is spicy, so try some fish tacos if you don't like spice! Did I mention that they start you with a little cup of broth to sip on? I could live on it! The service and ambience are great, but they do like to fill up their two tops so you'll likely be snuggled up next to some other couples LOL

We had a yummy and filling dinner at Shimogamo…read more It happened to be happy hour, so we enjoyed a handful of bites and bevs at a discount. Select cocktails and wines were $8, so we ordered the Bee's Knees and their seasonal white. Also on the happy hour menu was $8 shishito, $9 garlic dashi fries, $6 kashiwa (chicken skewer). The citrus roll seems to be a favorite, but I really enjoyed the Big 'N Spicy Roll. Dessert: def get the mango kakigori. Looking forward to going back to try more next time I'm in the valley.

For months, this location has been on a radar based on seeing various Yelp friends post about this…read morelocation. I was intrigued for both their sushi selection and their cocktail menu. I figured a Sunday afternoon would be calm, so I decided to pop in for a solo lunch. What I Ordered: - Yuzu Mule: The drink was delicious and refreshing, so I ordered a second one. Definitely order if I return as well. - Hamachi Lime Roll: This roll had an odd texture to me, and ultimately, I grabbed the rest to go as it was a little off putting to me. The flavor was decent though I found myself wishing there was more crunch with tempura flakes or panko bread crumbs on top. - Crazy Roll: The winner between the two rolls in terms of flavor and preference. Though, I wish this roll had the spicy mayo the other one had. I'd definitely order again and ask for a side of spicy mayo that I could add to the roll. Love the soy paper option! As for ambiance? I thought country music was an incredibly odd choice for this establishment hence the 4 stars versus 5 star review. I'd prefer more traditional Japanese music, or heck, even some J-Rock over American country music. I'm guessing Sunday afternoon is a slower time, so it was employee choice. Overall, I'd visit again when in the area and recommend to friends/family.

Decor and atmosphere definitely says grown & sexy, and they specialize in my wife favorite libation, bourbon/whiskey. We arrived a little early and the host didn't hesitate to get us seated. When the table wasn't to our liking, they were able to make an adjustment to our preferred seating, points. The menu is just right; not too much not too limited. The drink menu is a different story, i was blown away that they seemed to have every variation of every bottle you can find in the liquor store. Its insane! Needless to say, drinks were off the charts. They can compete with the best of them in taste and presentation. When it comes to cuisine they're equally a pleasing. Appetizers we so indulgent they could've doubled the portion an served them as an entree. Sides are shareable and bread service was soft, finally! Before they presented is with our steaks, we were given the option to pick our own steak knives out of a wooden case, like a duel. Who does that? B&B does that. Steaks were perfectly prepared; wife was flambeed in spectacular fashion and mine was encrusted with blue Cheese crumbles, my favorite. Even though that was enough to satisfy us, they offer the irresistible treat of butter cake or creme brulee for dessert; my two favorites. Don't ask me how they knew, but it just speaks to their expertise that they did. Every time I try to treat the wife to something nice I get nervous thinking I'll miss the mark. Thanks the the staff at B&B it was one of the best meals that we won't soon forget.

While regular menu prices lean on the expensive side, the absolute best way to experience it is by taking advantage of their Happy Hour (available until 6:00 PM, bar area only). Here are the highlights from our latest visit: Interactive Eats: You have to get the steak that you cook right at your table on a hot rock. It's super fun, insanely delicious, and best of all--it's included on the Happy Hour menu! Honestly, everything we've ever ordered from the kitchen has been top-tier. Top-Notch Cocktails: The bar program is stellar. As a fan of a proper Rum Old Fashioned, I know standard bartenders often struggle to get the specs right, but tonight they featured a new Banana Rum Old Fashioned on the menu. The banana complemented the rum perfectly--so well-balanced and delicious. If you're looking to treat yourself to high-end food and fantastic drinks in a relaxed, stylish setting, grab a seat in the bar before 6:00 PM. Highly recommended!

A Hidden Gem You NEED to Try - Don't Let This Place Stay a Secret!…read moreI've been to Sage & Barrel Craft Eatery a few times now, and every visit leaves me wondering why this place isn't packed every single night. We stopped in on a Monday evening and had the whole vibe almost to ourselves--such a shame because this spot is seriously awesome and deserves a full house! The atmosphere is so vibey--warm, inviting, perfectly lit with that perfect mix of casual and upscale that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. It feels special without being stuffy, great for date nights, family dinners, or just unwinding with friends over craft beers (their selection is impressive--40+ local options with plenty on tap). But the real star? The food. Everything is scratch-made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care in every bite. Deeply flavorful, innovative twists on classics, generous portions, and consistently excellent. Whether you go for the Nashville hot chicken and waffles, fish & chips, burgers, or whatever catches your eye, it's all done right. No frozen junk here--just real, delicious food that keeps you coming back. Queen Creek (and the East Valley) needs more places like this. Support local, support quality, and help keep this gem thriving so it doesn't disappear. We'll definitely be back--next time on a busier night so more people can discover it! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and go. Tell your friends. Mondays (and every night) deserve Sage & Barrel. You won't regret it.

There was no smile, greeting, or sense that we were happy to be there. Our server was very nice personally, but the service was incredibly disorganized. What made it even more frustrating was that she only had two tables, and the restaurant was not busy. My husband's meal never came out, and she did not even notice that he was still waiting for it. While we were waiting for his food, she brought us a drink we had never ordered. She also filled my kids' lemonades with water. The food was just as disappointing. The salmon was extremely dry and hard, and the pasta noodles my kids ordered were hard as well. After waiting and realizing my husband's meal was never coming, we asked for the bill. At that point, our server actually asked if my husband was ready to order... even though he had already ordered and had been waiting for his meal the entire time. Our bill ended up being high, which made the experience even more frustrating because we spent that much money and left feeling like we received essentially nothing worth coming back for. We all left hungry. Mistakes happen, but this was not one small mistake. It was a series of issues with the service, drinks, food, and basic attentiveness, especially considering the restaurant was not busy. For the amount we paid, we expected a completely different experience. Unfortunately, we will not be back.
