and the now closed I believe, Wild Sage are so attractive to me. Better food at 30% to 50% less. Example have lunch for two at Il Fornio which is just ok or Spago which is good and you can easily come away with a $120 check.
Main reason same bottle of wine is 3 to 4 times you pay at the liquor store.
All that said I guess I will just have to bite the bullet, life is too short for me to be cutting back on the pleasure of dining.

This should be good news for you (& all!) re: Wild Sage:
From today's Las Vegas Sun:
Table 34 open: Table 34 opened Wednesday at 600 East Warm Springs Road. This should elate the many fans who bemoaned the closing of Wild Sage, the previous restaurant at that location.
*
Managing the completely refurbished restaurant is former owner Laurie Kendrick. Executive Chef Wes Kendrick, Laurie's brother, is the other half of the management team.
*
The decor at Table 34 is smashing. Except for the addition of a bar and additional rest rooms where the patio once was, no other structural changes have been made since the restaurant was Wild Sage.
*
Tile and carpeted areas have been replaced with warm random wood floors. A palette of desert colors adorn the painted walls. Mirrors give the illusion of space. The effect is wonderful. Table 34 is exactly what a neighborhood cafe should be. It's terrific.
*
And so are the menus.
*
Included on the lunch menu are soups ($4.75 for a meal-size bowl), pizzas, sandwiches (served with a choice of side dish) and comforting entrees, such as chicken pot pie, gratineed macaroni and cheese, seared salmon and all-beef meatloaf. Lunch hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Lunch is available now; dinner service begins Tuesday.
*
The dinner menu includes so many longtime favorites: steamed black mussels in white-wine sauce, house-smoked salmon on a crisp potato galette, filo dough-wrapped baked Brie, savory salads, pasta and pizza, rack of lamb, seared Maine scallops, pot roast with herb spatzel, roasted chicken, char-broiled prime beef tenderloin, grilled rack of pork and more.
*
A menu of luscious desserts ($6.50) is offered at lunch and dinner. Happily, the banana fritters with warm berry sauce, vanilla bean creme brulee, lime tart, lemon cheesecake and other favorites are all in place. I got to sample a new dessert Wes was developing. Still a work in progress, the pistachio brittle that accompanied it was super.
*
A light Happy Hour menu is featured at the bar and upon request can be served at the table. Buffalo wings, crab cakes, shrimp cocktail and finger foods.
*
There's also a "catering to go," menu. Great idea.
*
Remember, dinner service begins Tuesday. Hours are 5 p.m. until whatever time diners want, Tuesday through Saturday.
