SAGA sets a new standard for sky-high dining in NYC
In the 63-floor ascent to SAGA, James Kent’s newest restaurant, ears pop and lights dim as you make your way to the top of an Art Deco spire.

who are independently responsible for the inviting interiors. Led by Jonathan Garnett, Preeti Sriratana and Steven Harper, the firm has quietly worked for the last four years to bring Kent’s most recent vision to life.SAGA is a sharp departure from New York’s customary fine dining circuit. In addition to its lofty locale with its panoramic views of the city, the space also holds masterworks by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Victor Vasarely, and Egon Schiele.
In such an irresistibly comfortable environment, the innumerable courses of Kent’s sophisticated menu come almost as a surprise. You might be settled in, but the first course—an “icebreaker” consisting of frozen and compressed watermelon and hibiscus garnished with nasturtium leaves, which breaks apart with the slightest tap—commands attention.
Each dish is exciting, but not overwhelming. Relaxation is encouraged by the Sade and Erykah Badu-inspired playlist—a well-balanced mix of early 2000 R&B classics and more obscure, contemporary sounds in an adjacent vein. Movement is introduced into the meal via a short walk over to the restaurant’s solarium, located directly opposite from the pastry kitchen.
