JENNIFER JOHNSON: AN UPDATE >>>

A visit to SAX Restaurant and Lounge at the end of May revealed a pleasant staff lacking in menu knowledge.

Two months later?

Obviously, studying has occurred.

Our server informed us soups are freshly made â€" not frozen from a bag.

She was also honest, sharing that the dressings arrived on a truck, which we appreciated and earned her an A+. 

Giant ravioli appetizer with sherry cognac cream sauce was an instant fav.

Large sea scallops remained tender and moist inside while perfectly seared and firm outside.

Baked chicken caprese was juicy; basil added a headiness that was complimented by garlic pasta.

More than dinner and music, SAX joins Sixth Avenue’s lunchtime dining options, offering up burgers, sandwiches, and pasta dishes.

It’s even open for breakfast, serving three-egg omelettes, steak and eggs, Eggs Benedict, waffles, Monte Cristo, and pancakes along with breakfast wraps, corned beef and hash, and old school classic chicken fried steak.
