I love trying new restaurants, but this one was a disappointment. When I go to a nice place, I expect to pay a certain price for the meal and the wine, and with that price tag I expect a certain level of service, which I did not receive at Sagra. I do not expect to be offered dessert while someone at the table is still finishing their main course, and I do not expect to be asked if I want the check immediately after received my coffee. As for the food, it wasn't spectacular. The only good dish at our table was the Braised Short Ribs Canneloni, which had great flavor but wasn't cooked quite properly. So overall I was not impressed, and I probably wouldn't recommend this restaurant to any of my friends. I hope that they can get it together and become the great restaurant that they have all the potential to be, but until then, I won't be visiting any time soon.

New restaurant working out kinks
Posted on 12/08/2007
We were sorry to hear about your disappointing time at our new restaurant(Grand Opening January).I am glad to hear you think it is nice and has the potential to be great.We do not want our customers to feel rushed and would never want a dessert menu to be presented while someone is still eating.Since learning of this problem we have instituted a system so that this will not be a problem again.My wife and I are at the restaurant everyday and watch the food and service very carefully.We were very upset to hear that your dissatisfaction slipped past us.I only wish you had said something while you were there,so we could have tried to rectify this serious situation.We take great pride in our food and were extremely disappointed that you didn't find it spectacular.We think our prices,pastas/pizzas start at $9, entrees start at $13, and 5 wines under $20 a bottle,for our quality ingredients, and beautiful setting(white linen, candles,flowers on all tables)are a nice/casual addition to Austin
