I would recommend Sage to anyone!

This was an unexpected find for us while in Cork - we were looking for a nice restaurant and this…read moreone hit our search filters and so glad it did. It is a little off the main street situated down behind Isaac's but you won't regret finding it. The setting is great with views of a waterfall outside the dining room. The food was of course the highlight and reason to visit. Truly enjoyed the generically named "Beef" dish which was like pot roast slow cooked and fall apart on your fork served with potatoes and carrots We also got the English market chicken supreme which was lovely and we shared a Goat cheese, beet root and apple appetizer which was fresh and tasty can't say enough about how much we enjoyed this meal. We will definitely be back

The waitress was new and had trouble placing our order, but all of our meal came out fine and in one piece so no harm there. It's a beautiful location and it was warm, intimate yet modern inside.

The ambiance is definitely more upscale and service from staff was quite good. For my entreé I had the duck confit with a local cider. The duck was tender and had a good flavor to it. We had a sticky toffee pudding for dessert, and while it was very good, having it accompanied with creme instead of ice cream was a bit disappointing, as the pudding itself was quite rich. All and all, it was a great experience at a good price, and I'd recommend it.

My colleague and I had the set menu. I chose pork belly to start, followed by lemon sole and finished with a poached pear. The service, atmosphere and food was excellent. The bill came to about $125 per head which included a bottle of wine plus tip. Would highly recommend this establishment.

I've been here a few times now which speaks to the quality of food. When you walk in it's a very clean restaurant. Outdoor seating that unfortunately allows smoking and smoke does occasionally blow in through the door. Other than that the ambiance is immaculate. Good music, clean bathrooms and a clean looking kitchen what more could you ask? The service is one of the few shortcomings of this restaurant. We've been there a few times and a couple of times it seemed like the service was a bit slow. We have had to remind the waitstaff what we ordered. They're always polite and apologetic about anything missed, but they are a bit slow fairly often. The food is unimpeachable. The taste of almost everything on the menu is amazing. The portion size of the menu can be a bit mismatched. I'm not that hungry of a person but a single sushi roll will not suffice for your average appetite. Be prepared to order multiple courses or a few sides but it can add up fairly quickly. I usually get the hot roll and something else but it usually comes out to about 45 euro or 50 usd. It's a good restaurant but be prepared to pay a bit more and wait a bit longer. Delicious though!
