Review for Sage Restaurant I visited Sage in Sarasota, hoping for a memorable dining experience, but it turned out to be quite forgettable. The service was a highlight; the waiters were very nice and tried their best to make the evening pleasant. However, the food was incredibly mediocre. Nothing stood out in terms of flavor or presentation; it was all just okay. One particularly disappointing moment was when a drink was spilled on our table. Instead of immediately addressing the spill, one of the waiters attempted to place an hors d’oeuvre right into the mess, which was quite off-putting. It felt like faux-fine dining at best. Overall, while the staff was friendly, the culinary experience didn’t match the ambiance or the price point. If you’re looking for a genuinely upscale dining experience, you might want to look elsewhere.

Always exceptional cuisine- taste treat/ perfect flavor and portion sizes. From cocktails to dessert! Try the chocolate mousse cake…. Possibly best dessert I’ve ever had! Took out of town “foodie” guests- they were impressed. Katie our server was spot on with everything!!

My wife and I celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary with dinner at Sage SRQ. It was an extraordinarily delightful experience. The historic building makes a charmingly comfortable & tasteful setting. The menu is intriguing, and every dish was beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. It was perfect and memorable experience in every way. We have found our new go to special occasion spot. Well done!
