"The Saga will be open for MLK Day brunch on January 20 with Spanish favorites with a Latin iteration from mhef Mile Montezuma. Menu highlights include a tortilla Española toast (sourdough, potato foam, egg yolk, potato chips, quail egg, onion dust, manchego, onion confit), pa amb tomaquet (house-made sourdough, garlic, plum tomatoes, sliced Mexican tomatoes, tomato powder), and French toast (home brioche, strawberry compote, whipped cream, vanilla-infused maple syrup, fresh berries)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Saga is the latest from Enrique Limardo of Imperfecto. Just to the right of The Ritz-Carlton, this restaurant is minimalist to the max with a cream and beige palette, glass walls and light wood. Stylish all the same, they're saving the drama for the food, which is a blend of Spanish classics with updated, Latin American-influenced twists. Tapas and small plates are plentiful; enjoy the reimagined pan con tomate or patatas bravas. The menu features an entire section devoted to arroz, and the arroz morada is a worthy choice. Made with a salt-baked beet purée, the pink-hued rice is tucked with roasted vegetables, fava beans and a pine nut vinaigrette for a riot of flavors. Main dishes are meat-forward and sized for sharing; the lamb shoulder is a good choice." - Michelin Inspector
"The Saga in West End will be open on Thanksgiving. Its three-course, $95 meal includes a first course of autumn salad (house salad mix, crispy Brussel Sprouts, roasted green beans, stuffing crumbles, goat cheese, and pecans). Next up is the “Thanksgiving Dinner Feast” (turkey breast, Joël Robuchon mashed potato, gravy, cherry and cranberry sauce) and for dessert is pumpkin pie topped with a rum raisin cream. The menu is available starting at 5 p.m." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Head over to the Saga for brunch on Labor Day and choose from the “Breakfast BLT,” oatmeal, and the huevos estrellados (potatoes, sourdough, chistorras, red peppers, onions, tomatoes, and eggs)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Seven Reasons Group’s Latin hot spot features a unique Fluffy Margarita from beverage director Carlos Boada. It consists of Patrón reposado, hierbas de Galicia, Bonanto, Italicus, white peach, lime, and cloves. And the Seven Reasons that started it all, now situated at CityCenter DC, is known for its iconic Passion Over Perfection. The fruity margarita features notes of Patrón, Siete Misterios Doba Yej, passionfruit, rosemary, and long pepper." - Tierney Plumb
