Just got word that Saute is now open. Haven’t checked it out yet, but will let you know when I do.
Pulled a review of Saute off of chowhound. Supposedly there’s a grand opening on Wendesday March 5th, but don’t take my word for it. Here’s the review:
“We went on Friday night. The place was packed. Great atmosphere in there - nice lighting, all brown tones.
The food was overall pretty good. The menu is slightly more upscale than upscale bar food.
For small plates, I tried the shrimp toasts, the pulled ducking nachos, the wild mushroom dumplings and the fried calamari. The shrimp toast and the dumplings were the best of the bunch. Really tasty and a pretty generous portions - they were all share-able. I was less fond of the nachos and the calamari. Both were a little too greasy for my liking.
I also tried the whole trout with goat cheese gnocci and artichokes. The fish was really nicely cooked and the pairing with the gnocci and the halved artichoke worked well. My only complaint about the dish was that it was a little one-dimensional. It would’ve been very improved by some thyme, basil, or fennel. And a lemon to squeeze over would’ve been a nice touch.
All in all, it was a good experience. I’d definitely go back to try some of the other stuff on the menu. And I think it’s a pretty solid alternative to the obnoxious bars on the square if you just want to go somewhere for a drink.”
