It was my first time at Sage. The experience was great! Staff was very good very pro. From the dishes that I tried : The tomato soup was very well balanced The bacon clams was the main disappointment as the taste of the bacon was overpowering the clams Their signature dish the Thai bouillabaisse was a hit for everyone who tried it. They have a very very good selection of wine bottles at unbelievably low prices A must go if you are in Sarasota

We LOVE Sage. We’ve only been with large groups and last night was no exception. We celebrated our daughter’s bday w/five of her closest friends (ages 18-21). Her wonderful grandparents also joined us. Safe to say Sage appeals to all ages - everyone was delighted and amazed by the beautiful and delicious food - from the palette cleansers, unique and exotic specialty cocktails, stunningly arranged meals to our scrumptious desserts. Johnathon and the other waitstaff gave us excellent 5 star service making us feel warm and welcomed as per usual. All of our guests, especially the young people, were just plain happy and several of them (of which have been fortunate to already travel globally), stated, “This is the best restaurant I’ve ever dined in!” Thank you Sage, for the most amazing evening and helping to create a fantastic birthday for our daughter. - P.
