Eaten at diner for many years; loved my meals, especially the desserts. Five of us went to Sage Diner on Oct 29. Excellent service, wonderful food and disasterous dessert.
Two had chocolate cream pie; filling peeled away from crust oddly. Friend held the plate towards me and asked, "Is that what I think it is?" Green mold was clearly visible throughout the pie. Other person's was moldy as well.
These things happen. I figured we'd speak with the manager, get free meals, at least two, and be done. Nope. Hostess took both desserts. We didn't take pics! Finally the manager came over, exclaimed "Mold?" with disbelief, walked away. When she returned, she said that she'd never seen mold in 16 yrs; said desserts are made every day! This particular pie was certainly not fresh.
She took "the desserts" off the bill - three desserts, total. When I questioned if that was all she was going to do, her response was, "You ate your dinners, didn't you? They were good, weren't they?"
I was stunned into silence by her rudeness. Quickly recovering I told her that I would do my best to ensure that others did not patronize her restaurant in the future. For the cost of a $70 dinner bill, she's getting bad press.
It's a shame. I do love the cheesecake/chocolate mousse/ganache dessert. The food , the prices & the service were wonderful.
