Sage Steak Loft

Yes — just yes…
Start off — warm popover with fig sea salt butter
House cab — really really smooth
Appetizers– crab cakes, sliders, wedge salad — all superb
Steak for two — cooked perfectly and removed from the bone and served with the bone — simply fantastic. Veggies ordered off menu were also amazing.
Décor beautiful and waitstaff attentive and extremely well trained. I can’t wait to go back!!!

Supposedly close at 11pm. Arrived at 9:50pm Friday night and they turned us away stating that it was slow so they closed the kitchen early. There were 3 – 4 occupied tables and the restaurant is inside a hotel so I find this unacceptable. I could understand if it were a mom and pop restaurant but when you’re inside a hotel I believe you must stick to your published operating hours.

Ambiance is romantic, quaint. Service was attentive. We corked a bottle of wine per a recommendation we read from a fellow Unilocaler. I ordered a Bloody Mary which I sent back Bec it was sweet. It came back sweeter.
Filet & truffle Mac and cheese was very good. Mashed potatoes were dry– do not recommend. Stuffed shrimp & chopped salad was good. Shrimp cocktail is not shrimp cocktail. More like a shrimp salad made w some type of creamy base. It’s not light. We were happier with our dining experience at BLT when it came to a steak place.

My mother always taught me that if I had nothing nice to say, to keep my mouth shut… And, while I’ve not always heeded that advice, it isn’t necessary when speaking (or writing) about Sage Steak Loft. OMG, this place is amazing! It’s a tiny, 20-​ish table restaurant inside the O: live Boutique Hotel. It’s almost like stepping into the pages of a Restoration Hardware catalog. Their use of reclaimed wood everywhere along side the stucco created a warm and inviting environment that I wouldn’t necessarily think of as Puerto Rican. Their staff was equally inviting, gracious, and courteous. Ok… Enough about the décor. Let’s talk about the food! (I’ve included pictures of everything we ate.)
How do you make ahi tuna more perfect? Wrap it around king crab. Delicious!
I’m a huge fan of burrata. I love it’s creaminess. The caprese was kicked up a level with different colored heirloom tomatoes and compressed watermelon. The pop of the tomatoes matched with the creaminess of the burrata, the tangibles of the balsamic and the sweetness of the watermelon was pure and utter perfection.
Rib eye is my absolute favorite cut of meat and the Sage Steak Loft chose the perfect cut and cooked it perfectly. The sear on the outside gave it a nice crunch while the inside was a perfect medium and so soft you could almost cut it with a butter knife.
The branzino special was perfectly seared and served on top of a bed of spinach grits. I’m not much of a fish eater but the grits were creamy and crunchy at the same time.
I finished the meal with the spicy chocolate cake. Meh. I’ve had much better, I’ve had worse. At the end of the day it didn’t ruin my meal. As a matter of fact I almost forgot I even had it.
The party next to us was three generations of a family — mother, daughter, grand-​daughter. We immediately started a conversation almost from the moment we sat down and the waiter brought them their pop-​overs (that’s right! Amazing pop-​overs (or Yorkshire pudding) to start your meal instead of bread. Ummmmm… Hello! I would have recommended them just for those! Anyway, we enjoyed the company of these lovely ladies and sweet little girl and joins the, on the roof op deck of O: live for a cocktail. Another RH looking space with friendly staff and great cocktails. We will definitely be back!

Had a fabulous dinner here last week. Steak was amazing and the mac & cheese was the best I have ever had anywhere!

Great place! Would highly recommend to anyone. The service was impecable, very attentive. The menu options are so decadent and appetizing, not the average steak house with plain fries as a side. They have great options and I can’t wait to come back and try something different. I had the wrack of lamb that came with fennel and shitake mushrooms and I ordered a side of mac n’ cheese that is made with brie and truffles (to die for!) the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because I ordered my lamb medium and it came a little overdone, the taste and service however were excellent. Also tried the yuca gnocchi & it was very tasty. Not to mention the décor! I absolutely loved the style of the restaurant and the hotel overall, very chic and cozy at the same time. This is definitely a hidden gem in the heart of Condado. Can’t wait to come back and try the popcorn ice cream!

I have dined at Sage three times. It is located on a side street off of Ashford Ave in front of Condado Vanderbilt Hotel. Intimate surroundings and seats under 40 patrons.
I have had the Tomahawk Steak all three times. It is delicious but suggest you order your steak under cooked because they have a tendency to overcook the meat. Appetizers are inventive and unique. Wine list is adequate.

Excellent place. Not a fan of gnocchi but theirs was incredible. Loved the popcorn ice cream.

The food in this restaurant is outstanding. Portions are a little on the small side but the quality of the food is just amazing. I loved every single dish. The Tuna crab lolly pops are amazing. Beef tartare is ridiculous and need sliders are out of this world.
Serving from all was fantastic. Enez (sorry if I spelt it wrong) was great and Joe made great cocktails.
Try it. You will not be disappointed.

Our new favorite in Condado! Great atmosphere, great service and most importantly: great food! My filet mignon was cooked perfectly and tasty, had Kale with it that tasted amazing. Lollipops are very good, as well as the crab cakes. Highly recommended!

The Olive Hotel’s restaurant — really nice décor, good service and ambiance. It doesn’t seem like it has a lot of seating and probably gets crowded, though. The food is pretty good — we had the crab and ahi tuna pops (a little salty, but good flavor) and the yucca gnocchi (really tasty).

Had a fantastic meal here. Stayed at the Vanderbilt and stumbled upon Sage. The food was amazing, especially the lollipops, gnocchi and filet. Top restaurant in Condado and a hidden gem. Check it out, no disappointments whatsoever.

Another jewel by Chef Mario Pagan: amazing steakhouse and restaurant located now within Olive Boutique. We were quite cautious to visit the new proposal by Olive as we loved the prior restaurant so much.
But it was great. Started with the special house made Cesar Salad. Then I had the Dry Aged Rib eye and my spouse the Special fish of the night.
Just superb.

Just ate at this newly opened restaurant «Sage» in the Olive boutique hotel. The food was excellent, as was the service. Our table of four had the filet mignon, churrasco steak, and several appetizers. The churrasco was the best entrée, but the filet mignon was very good as well. Great rolls to start that were popovers with little pieces of crispy pork baked on top. For appetizers, both the «cut» shrimp cocktail and the steak tartare were delicious. Great sides as well.
The bar was also excellent — I recommend trying a rum old fashioned with Zaccapa. Many in our party had cosmos, and they were perfect.
The web site of the hotel needs to be updated, as this new restaurant replaces the now closed Oliva. But if you’re in Condado, check this one out. Also, the rooftop bar is a great hangout spot after dinner with beautiful views of the lagoon and surrounding area.
