SAGA, Michelin Two Star, The Pinnacle of Fancy New American Dining

[@giraffen63]

Watched some of your earlier videos... you really have progressed. Technically but especially your comments are now so much more insightful. Great - keep up the good work!

[@Fufski]

Thanks! I’ve also noticed that I elaborated quite a bit in this video 😂

@@Fufski why crown shy> saga?

[@Fufski]

@@giomusah2155 actually in no particular order but Crown Shy is a Michelin star with more casual setting you can pretty much walk in while SAGA being a two star is more fancy and requires reservations. However, chef and owner James Kent had suddenly passed away literally a few days ago leaving everyone in shock. Condolences to his family and hope things can go smooth for them and their restaurants.

@@Fufski if I want a lunch time sushi spot around 150-200 dollars a person, which 1-2 places do you recommend? Looking for great value at that price point

[@Jamesnu]

Five hours! That was one epic meal! The duck looked amazing!

[@Fufski]

It indeed was! If you were to just relax and not shoot anything the meal would probably last 3 hours and a half, but the filming did take me some extra time, plus I wasn't rushing anything so...

[@zachscheel3784]

Looks spectacular. Wish I had a buddy who was into fine dining enough to try places like this out once a quarter or so.

[@RR-fg2rl]

Just went for my 62 bday on Mar 5 and had a great time loved the tasting menu and being very inventive. I loved chili honey sauce on duck

[@Fufski]

Glad to hear you had a great time!

[@AOrtstein]

Saga has been my favorite meal in nyc. I like your videos but my only critique is that you eat components of dishes individually when they’re meant to be eaten together. Keep up the great content.

[@Fufski]

I always like to try individual component first to get a hang of it, I also ate them together but I ended up cutting those portion cuz the video is already getting too long. But you are right, some of the items are best together!

[@AOrtstein]

that makes sense. Keep up the good work.@@Fufski

[@nmahangu]

Thanks for posting. Is this the seasonal seven course sampler?

[@Fufski]

This is a full tasting menu and it’s the only thing they offer (no a la carte) I do believe the menu changes seasonally tho some items are kept the same.

Nice job!

[@ShrimpBoatTampa]

Went here for my birthday. Sad to report it was the worst fine dining I've ever experienced. Glad your trip was much better.

[@Fufski]

Why is that the worst?

[@ShrimpBoatTampa]

@@Fufski many issues. Food quality and taste missed the mark. Reserve Wine pairing felt stingy and wine selection mostly lackluster. We had two courses that were shared. Didn't feel right considering each meal was $300. Sweet courses largely missed the mark. Petit fours also quite weak. This is compared to Per se L2o, when it was open in Chicago Le Cinq Paris Akelarre Azurmendi Joel robuchon Las Vegas. And the list goes on I am not name dropping but my reference for this type of experience is pretty diverse.

[@Fufski]

Oh! Sorry to hear that you didn't have a great experience. I didn't drink wine pairing so I couldn't comment on that. But it's hard to say what went wrong if it's simply "missing the mark". Petit fours are kinda weak for sure but I felt that most two-stars in NYC don't do any better. Also, Per Se is a complete rip-off with lackluster everything (except for the price tag), and I roast it on every occasion. I usually use Per Se as a bar to compare with other restaurants that weren't so good. If it's worse than Per Se, then it's a bad restaurant. Le Cinq was pretty good but it's a three-star and restaurants in Europe generally do a better job than their counterparts in America. Actually, half of the staff from the restaurant watch my channel so your comments could be helpful. I hope you have a better experience on your next occasion!

@@Fufskiand most of the 2 stars in town, actually don’t do petit 4 anymore. So should credit some to Saga. ❤

[@Fufski]

@@jrcasa7926 I see, seems that a lot of restaurants have downsized their menu,

[@olivergreen9011]

Was wondering what camera you use? Got some great shots!!!

[@Fufski]

Thanks! I use Sony A7S3 for all my productions over the last two years.

[@olivergreen9011]

@@Fufski Thanks! Any recommendations for cheaper cameras? 😅

[@Fufski]

I will highly recommend SONY ZV-E1, it has the same sensor as A7S3 so you will get the exact same image quality, but at the same time having a smaller form factor and a cheaper price. It is now the best vlogging camera on the market.

Please stop with all the umami calling. All the items are not umami in taste. Try salty, sour bitter, sweet,etc. You’re overusing it!!everything else is great.
