If you have been into cigars for any length of time, you have heard of the must-see lounges and restaurants worldwide. I’m sure you have heard the name ‘SAGA’ mentioned before…with great reverence.

Where do I start? Have you ever tried to explain chocolate to someone who has never experienced it? No? Me neither…but I expect that is what it is like trying to explain the SAGA Restaurant to someone who has never been there. You just need to try it.

First off, I never realized how hard it must be to do a food show. Spend several hours in the restaurant and kitchen…stare at the food going by you…all the while trying and keep the focus on the people you are interviewing.

Luckily for me, the sit-down portion of the interview was in a small, private dining room. There I could focus all my attention on Isis and Augusto without my eyes wandering to a Tuna Tartar or sizzling Tomahawk Ribeye passing by.

If you are a cigar smoker, SAGA is a must. If you are not a cigar smoker…it is still a must. 

I will let this interview do the talking but leave you with this…

…the SAGA Restaurant was built as an experience, and it never disappoints. The sight, the sounds, the energy, and of course, the food.
