I stopped in hoping for some seafood, but things didn't really work out. The first thing I wanted (shrimp cocktail) was unavailable. Then the second (steamed mussels) Then the third (ceviche). At that point I just gave up and left. To make it worse, 2 of the 4 draft beers were out too. That is important to me. Beer. I can't really say much about the food since I never got to try any of it. What I can say is that the inventory situation didn't leave a great impression. If seafood is your specialty, it's kind of important to have some available.

My wife and I chose High Tide for a double date, but somehow we ended up dining in what felt like…read morethe restaurant version of the Twilight Zone. Things got weird immediately. We were seated and the hostess cheerfully informed us, "Just as a warning, the air conditioning is dripping on that part of the bench, so you'll probably want to scoot over." She disappeared before we could process the fact that "sit next to the indoor rainstorm" was apparently a normal seating option. My wife had to chase her down to ask the obvious question. "Could we maybe sit at a table that isn't leaking?" While she was gone, our server came over. I pointed to the puddle beside me and asked if we could move to the empty table in front of us. She looked puzzled and said, "No, that's where it's leaking." I pointed back to the puddle literally touching our table. We were apparently trapped in competing realities. Eventually the manager came over, and asking to move to a dry table was treated like a wildly unreasonable request. After a long pause she said, "I guess we could move you over there. Would that be okay?" My response was, "If it's dry, we'll take it." Unfortunately, the service never recovered. The nightly special was introduced with, "We have trout." That was the entire presentation. No description. No price. Just... trout. When it was time to order, we were greeted with a very enthusiastic, "What do you want?" The finale came when we asked for a box. The same manager returned with a tiny container and said, "I don't know if it'll fit. Do you think it will? I'm not good with Tupperware." I honestly thought Ashton Kutcher was about to jump out from behind a ficus. To top it all off, the portions were surprisingly small for the price, and charging $7 for bread felt like the final plot twist. I've had disappointing meals before. I've had mediocre service before. I've just never had an entire evening feel like everyone had been handed different copies of the script. Needless to say, I don't think we'll be back.

We went with the Cajun seasoning, and it does have a solid kick to it. The corn and potatoes were a nice balance, helping cut through the spice a bit. The corn in particular was a standout: you get that sweet, salty, and spicy all at once, which was really satisfying. Everything came well-prepped and cleaned, so eating wasn't a hassle, and there's a fun, hands-on element to the whole experience that made it even more enjoyable. Lastly, the restaurant is quite spacious, so we had no issues finding a seat for our large group.

Almost like being in San Francisco! For dinner we decided to share a couple of things; the crab cakes, which comes with fried avocado and some of the best aioli for dipping. The cakes themselves are big and full of crab with just the right amount of filling to create a decadent and moist cake! We also shared the seared jumbo scallops...High Tides knows how to cook scallops to the best! So yummy and tender and perfectly cooked with that crispy outer and the soft, creamy inside.

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.

Unfortunately, our experience at Sage & Barrel in Queen Creek was horrible, and we will not be…read morereturning. From the moment we arrived, the host was not welcoming at all. 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.

We were very disappointed in our experience. My husband was excited about having the Osso Bucco and I was planning to have Branzino, but we were quickly informed that they were out of both! So then the server talked us into the Dover Sole, which we then ordered. A few minutes later, the manager came to inform us they were out of the Dover Sole so we would need to pick another entree . We also ordered bottle of wine and then informed they were out of that kind of wine. So I ordered the Chilean Seabass and my husband ordered risotto. My husband did enjoy his risotto. The Seabass was very disappointing. It was tough. I had to cut it with a knife. It was very bland! Then we decided to order dessert and we were immediately told they were out of the cannolis ,my husband's favorite. We did order the crêpes which were delicious and prepared at the table. We were quite disappointed in our experience here tonight. Very sad because we really enjoyed this restaurant and we're excited about having a fine dining option in downtown Chandler.

What a treat. Exactly what I'm looking for in a Caesar salad. So good! The pesto on the Caprese was house made and so tasty. I want to try a pesto dish next time. My wife had the Sacchetti Porcini with truffle and it was light and perfectly balanced flavor. The pillows melted in your mouth. Will definitely have again. The Lobster Ravioli had a well balanced limoncello flavor and not too creamy. Cool striped pasta. Perfect for those not super hungry but wanting a unique dish that is sure to please. Steak Nicola was was cooked to perfection and had a suburb combination of black truffle, aus jus and prosciutto cotto to make it a memorable dish. I'm still craving it the day after.

She reacted quickly, avoided disaster, apologized, cleaned up the mess, gave extra napkins, and comped me on my drink. Our steaks were absolutely delicious, our pasta was al dente as we like it, and our fish was perfectly flaky and moist. Compliments to the chef, except for failing to spot the platter crack at the pass. Parking is easy and plentiful. 4 dinners, 3 drinks, an appetizer, and a free birthday flan were $280 with tax and tip. Not cheap, but worth it for us.

I called earlier in the day to place a pickup order, but when I asked where I could find the menu, I was told it wasn't available and that I'd need to come in to see it. I arrived around 8 p.m. on Friday, thinking the dinner rush would be over, but the place was loud, and the waitstaff was overwhelmed. There was no place to sit and wait for a take out order, so I went back to my car with the menu and tried calling to place my order. After waiting on hold for 10 minutes, I called back, but the line just gave a busy signal several times. I ended up going back inside to place the order in person and awkwardly waited by the door for my food and while this was happening, cops arrived because someone got kicked out. Definitely an awkward situation for our first experience. When my order was ready, I had to ask for utensils, which weren't included. The atmosphere definitely feels authentically Mexican, though. We ordered a shrimp burrito, which was a bit plain and dry--just rice, fajita veggies, and shrimp. The fish and chips were better, with a good sized portion of fries.
