Saté: A New American Experience

Late Post: I ate here back in the fall with my gf and the food and service was remarkable! The staff was friendly and attentive. There was a wonderful selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages to choose from as well. For starters we ordered the Asian sticky ribs and the Brussels sprouts which were absolutely delicious!!! We were pretty full after the appetizers and decided on salads as our main. I got the house and my girl the Caesar. When I tell you that house salad with the cheese hush puppies and homemade dressing was the best salad I’d ever had, I am not lying! I’ve been meaning to get back for dinner or brunch since we came in for lunch that day, but the whole experience lives rent free in my head. I cannot wait until I am able to revisit this gem 💎👌🏽👏🏽

Amazing first visit. Loved everything. We started with Braised Beef Bruschetta, it was amazing and huge portion. For the mains we enjoyed Sticky Ribs, House Salad with amazing cheese hush puppies and the Sashitto Pepper Burger with She Crab soup with tons of lump crab. Everything was so good including the service. The ribs were off the chain. You can tell all the food is fresh and made with care. We will be back.

Satè in Newport News was a great experience from start to finish. We started with the mac & cheese egg rolls and the hot honey oysters — both were legit. The egg rolls were crispy and loaded, and the oysters had the perfect sweet-heat kick. Solid way to start the meal. For mains, we had Nana’s Chicken and the Shrimp & Grits. Both were done correctly and complete in flavor. No shortcuts, no disappointment. The atmosphere was awesome — super mixed and lively crowd with great energy. Felt like the kind of place you want to hang out, not rush through. Service was on point the whole time. Friendly, fast, and dialed in. We’ll definitely be back.

My wife and I were incredibly disappointed with our special valentine's dinner tonight at Sate. First the good. Food was unique, made with care and attention to detail. The highlight of the night. Our server Andrew did a great job. Unfortunatley, the ambiance was horrible. It was jarring to compare the food and Andrew's work to how Sate took care of its Valentine’s day guests. Candidly - we should never have to share our table with another random couple on a fancy dinner date where the minimum bill is $344. Seems like Sate was doing a money grab trying to stuff us in like sardines.... Ive attached a picture of the bill - we didnt get any alcohol or pay for anything other than the standard (and only offer for the evening) 5 course meal. Ive also attached a picture of the seating arrange

Sequoia was very professional, kind and attentive. I was nervous, but she helped me select the duck tacos which were amazing! Nice ambience. My drink stayed full and my table was cleared by her and other nearby servers. Overall 10/10 would recommend especially for the BLT STACK!!
