    The place is beautiful. Calm, not noisy. Dimly lit. Staff is amazing. Many people involved in serving your table which eliminates longer periods of waiting. The food did take a little longer to get to the table but it was good. We had the salmon which was very good. The honey curry was delightful. We also go the wagyu. It was undercooked from how we ordered it but the manager was so polite and helpful when we asked to have it cooked a little longer. That was the only “issue” we had and it wasn’t a big issue at all. I would dine here again.

    Beautiful setting in a very large yet quiet old building. The service was very good. They have a very small menu so not too much to choose from. We often like that but this time just didn't see what we loved. I opted for the Waygu steak which was not bad but could have been a lot better. It was just warm when it came out like it had been sitting waiting before it came out. My wife had the wild boar cannellini which wasn't hot either. We should have said something but just didn't want to fuss at the time.

    First time trying this restaurant with out of town guests. Service was impeccable. Our server, Kate, was friendly and very knowledgeable and took the time to explain how certain dishes were prepared. Sadly, the food itself was of mixed quality. The foie gras was impeccable, as was the soup. Other appetizers were ok. The lamb Rogan Josh was returned for being bland and dry. The duck was fabulous as was the Thai bouillabaisse. For the prices food was very inconsistent. That said, we would try it again. It has such promise.

    Wonderful rooftop bar for pre-dinner cocktails. The ambiance in the restaurant is warm and upscale but not stuffy The food from the bouillabaisse, boar cannelloni, hamachi and mixed mushroom main course were all enjoyed at our table. Service was friendly and timely. They made us all feel welcome.

    Amazing food and 5 star service. From the carefully crafted cocktails, great wine list and love the rooftop bar as well. The bouillabaisse is outstanding.

    Exceptional Dining at Sage – A Must-Try in Sarasota My experience at Sage in Sarasota was nothing short of phenomenal. From the ambiance to the service and, most importantly, the food, everything exceeded expectations. The highlight of the evening was the seared foie gras and crispy duck—both executed to perfection. The foie gras was rich, buttery, and expertly seared, while the duck had the perfect balance of crispiness on the outside and tender, flavorful meat on the inside. The accompaniments enhanced each bite, making for an unforgettable dish. Beyond the food, the service was impeccable. A big thank you to Chris for making the experience even more enjoyable with attentive and knowledgeable recommendations. If you’re in Sarasota and looking for an upscale dining experience that delivers on flavor, technique, and atmosphere, Sage is the place to go. Highly recommend!
