Sage is a great restaurant for a special occasion. My husband and I went for Valentine's Day last year and everything was exceptional. Their menu tends to change monthly and seasonally, but everything is prepared carefully and artfully, with excellent service. The service is not super fast, but we didn't mind as we didn't go because we were starving, more to enjoy each other's company and sip some wine. Definitely a place that you'll want to make reservations for, and not somewhere you'd want to go if you're starved and want to get it and get out. Take the time to appreciate the artsy inspired plates and friendly service. read more

Sage has become the go to place for a romantic (or just plain adult) dinner for my wife and I. The menu is great, specials always presented well. Wine and beer list is fun, and as far as the beer goes exotic. Professional service. Highly recommend. read more

I have been coming here for 3 years now. This is the best restaurant I have been to in Florida. The food is excellent. The service is incredible. Victor and Darrell are the Teo best bartenders I have ever met and will make u feel at home. Their wine and liquor selection for a small restaurant is second to none. I strongly recommend this restaurant to all. read more

Sage is back and better than ever. The new dinging area inside is so much bigger, allowing for more tables without feeling too crowded. It's the same menue, which is all around awesome. Brunch on a Sunday is my favorite. Sage has the best quiche of anywhereI have been to. It is so fluffy and delicious. Their french toast is also amazing. read more

We are new to the area and been trying to find some 'go to' restaurants. This will not be one of them! The food was very good, but not epic; what you should expect from this caliber of restaurant. The service however was very disappointing, what you should expect from a chain restaurant. They are very skimpy on drinks by the glass; each glass we had was served with less and less. After we finished appetizers and salad our server and entree disappeared. We had to wait another 15 minutes to see our server and food. We ordered desert and the same thing happened again; we had to wait another 15 minutes for 1 desert. So a dinner for 2 people that should have taken less than an hour-and-a-half took over two hours to finish. Not acceptable when you have sitters running on the meter or some place to be after dinner. The food is not good enough to put up with the service again - will not be going back. read more

Sage Restaurant - New American Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

This is an exquisite restaurant on many levels. The attention to detail is outstanding. The food is an art form and the service is superb. The atmosphere and ambiance of this restaurant is another plus that just adds to the experience. If you are in Tallahassee make yourself a reservation at Sage! read more

My companion and I had dinner at Sage Friday evening. Without reservations we were seated at 6 o'clock out in the patio.it was a perfect evening for dining alfresco. Service was perfect and the portions at dinner time were much better than lunch. Quite adequate. Our salmon and scallops were cooked just to the right degree. read more

Not sure what the hype is all about. My wife's shrimp and scallops plate was way too salty and my mushroom ravioli was just okay. Wines are way overpriced. Won't be back read more

Great restaurant. Delicious food. Terrific service. Our server, Luis went the extra mile for us. He explained the food, wine and was spot on with every recommendation. I highly recommend SAGE. Don't miss this wonderful dining experience in Tally. read more

Easily THE BEST restaurant in Tally. There are plenty of good places - Shulas, Kool Beanz, Mozaik and the like, but Sage edges them all out. It's a complete experience - the food, service, environment are all excellent, up to par with high quality restaurants in the finest of cities. Highly recommended. read more

Very dissapointing meal at Sage tonight. The pasta was cold and stuck together, as if pre made vs. Cooked opon ordering. The shrimp were tough and the scollops were over cooked! The waiter started out nice but became curt and rude when an order was taken incorrectly for another guest entre. I will not recommend or return to Sage again. read more

We found this near our hotel and really enjoyed it. Great food and service. Thanks, Yelp!

I have been to this restaurant for dinner once and lunch once. The food is quite amazing! The menu changes and everything sounds great. I had Chilean sea bass for dinner! Best fish entree ever and I have had many from a variety of upscale restaurants! For lunch I had a phenomenal red pepper, carrot, and a hint of ginger in a coconut milk base with a swirl of sour cream on top. It was absolutely the best soup ever. The sandwich I ordered was thinly sliced Black Forest ham with Brie grilled on ciabatta with a little cheese grilled into the bread on the outside. I wish I had taken pictures! I am sure there was some kind of sauce inside the sandwich too! I will just have to go again to get a better description. Poor me! I live three hours away, but will be stopping here again on the way to visit family in the Panhandle! read more

What a wonderful oasis of culinary delight in a food desert city! From the prompt, friendly and professional service to the exquisitely prepared ingredients, Sage is perfection from beginning to end. Our dinner salad special- cucumbers and potatoes with an olive and preserved lemon vinaigrette was a lovely Moroccan-inspired start to our dinners- perfectly cooked medium rare lamb chops done with Persian notes of pomegranate and a shirazi salad and monkfish wrapped in bacon with a crab and pecan relish and dreamy grits custard. Plating is thoughtful and gorgeous, portions are generous, and flavors are balanced and bright. My only complaint is the noise level of the dining room- by the time we left around 9 we had to practically shout to hear each other across the table. Perhaps some strategically placed acoustic tiles could keep the din to a lower roar? read more

Having read the previous reviewer's update, I was curious about whether or not they had reopened. I called the number listed on their website (it was disconnected last time I tried, a few weeks ago) and it was answered! Apparently they are reopening March 20, so if you loved this place before be sure to go back and support their new effort. read more

Don't order anything at Sage loosely referred to as steak. Sent the first order back because the meat could not even be cut with the steak knife. The second order was just as bad. Threw it away at home. Someone else at our table had the steak salad. He said the steak pieces were like rocks. Steak Frite was absolutely awful. read more

Wow, it is back and absolutely wonder. I went to lunch this week with a few friends and we all sampled each others plates. Everything was fabulous! Try the Guava Cheesecake - it was to die for! Headed there tonight to try the dinner menu! read more

This restaurant had just amazing food. It may well be the best restaurant in Tallahassee.

I have always been a fan of Sage. I was super excited when the place reopened a few months back!!! The serve is always amazing! And I have never received anything other then great food!!! i am a huge fan of their quiches which are made fresh daily in specialty flavors! read more

No yelp reviews for Sage?! After the delicious meals I have had there, I feel that is is my personal responsibility to leave a review to spread the word. I don't live in Tallahassee anymore, but when I come home to visit, Sage is always one of my top picks for dinner. The food is outstanding. The duck I had at Sage last time I was in Tallahassee was the best I've had anywhere. Absolutely to die for! So happy to have a dinner spot with such creative and unique dishes on that side of town. read more

The quarters are a bit tight, but the decor (much of it provided by a rotation of local artists), tasteful lighting, and considerate service all blend into a very comfortable and intimate ambiance. The food is incredible, with many options for a number of dietary restrictions various members of my family have to work with. Seating is very limited though so be sure to get a reservation! read more

Well this place was recommended by a friend and we were excited! But after waiting 45 minutes for our meal and mine was extremely hot and my husbands was just luke warm I have to say that we are completely disappointed. For the price point this restaurant needs to do much better read more

I've spent most of my life in Manhattan. Never gave Tally a chance for brunch...stupid snobby. Sage was great, solid gormet food, some good Japanese and Irish whiskeys. Nice relaxed Sunday crowd, some in jeans some in suits. I am a happy camper. read more

The food quality was 3/5. The water had no ice. We waited 2 hrs for our entree and there were no other guests on the patio. We asked how much longer for our food and were told a time frame that they didn't meet - were told 4 min. and it ended up being another 20 min. When we asked the waiter about ordering he seemed to have an "a ha" moment - oh yes, I am supposed to ask you that. Because of how long it took for our entree, we decided to order dessert before our entree arrived. Total time in restaurant was 2hr 45 min and that was with a reservation. We won't be back. read more

An awesome oasis nestled behind a strip center right off of I-10 on our way home to Jacksonville . It was a great Sunday brunch find with awesome food, great ambiance & fabulous service by our waiter Peter. We had the lobster & Crab omelet , fried chicken biscuit sandwich & the croque monsieur ( which could have been warmer ) but everything was delicious. We would all highly recommend Sage! read more

Still our favorite. My wife and I returned for dinner last Saturday and enjoyed our selves as usual. The rack of lamb and filet were excellent. The wine list seems to be growing and is extensive and reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed the live flamenco guitar music (which occurs every three or four weeks, usually on a Saturday evening). We would vote for having the guitar player there more often. When the weather is good there is a lovely outdoor patio for dining. It is especially nice in the fall when the tall plants creat an enclosure that is very peaceful and even better now that they have plenty of gas heaters for dining on the patio even on chilly days or evenings.

Food is consistently delicious and well presented, desserts are very good. I wish the location were a bit more central, but the atmosphere is nice inside. It seems to vary each time I go how formal the atmosphere is, sometimes more business-like and sometimes a bit more romantic. read more

Sage was really good. Friendly service nice seating outside and good food. I would recommend calling ahead if you are planning on visiting. This place host your "older" crowd not a hipster joint and only have wine and pop. read more

Sage is a nice farm to table restaurant. Having been a patron there several times I've been quite disappointed lately. The service has not been up to par. They refused to substitute the vegetables, it was difficult to obtain bar service and to get leftovers to go. Hopefully the management will step up the service. read more

Very nice restaurant. A bit of an older crowd. No liquor. The patrons at surrounding tables seemed to take their meal very serious. Ambiance was ok. Did not care much for the decor. Food was prepared excellent and service was attentive at first and dwindled as they got busy. read more

A missed opprotunity! Could have been a 5 star experience except for 4 critical shortcomings. 1. The protien on my entree was cold. 2. Our server was not attentive. 3. The 2 top table was incredibly small (like eating off a night stand small) 4. The temperature in the dining room was hot. We started with a cheese plate which was very good, a nice variety of high quality cheeses with a delicious orange gastric. We followed with the beet and orange salad which was also delicious. My wife ordered the crab cake appetizer as her entree and I ordered the Shrimp and Scallops. All of the food tasted fantastic but my shrimp and scallops along with the sauce they were prepared in were cold. I know this was a kitchen issue because the potatoes on my dish and my wife's crab cakes were all served at proper temperature. I would have sent my entree back to be warmed if I could have gained the attention of our server. She was not at all attentive. We ordered a bottle of wine and after pouring the 1st glass she never returned to check on our glasses. Nor did she return after our entrees were serviced to check that things were properly prepared. The service was slow...entrees were served an hour and 15 minutes after we were seated. The size of the 2 top tables is ridiculously small which might explain why the other negative issues existed. It appeared they are trying to serve more customers than either their kitchen or wait staff can handle. I will say that the taste of all the dishes was fantastic, the menu was varied with nice selections and the price was reasonable. Had the entrees been served warm, the server been more attentive and the table been suitable to eat from, this would have been a 5 star experience. All that said the taste of the food was good enough that we'll return on a week night to give them another try. read more

I am not a snob but I have a hospitality education and I have traveled the world eating great food, drinking great wine, smoking great cigars, etc... Having said that, Sage is as good as any restaurant I have had the pleasure of attending and nothing else in Tallahassee has come close. Great wine, great martini, wonderful entrees that are not overly complicated BUT DEFINITELY not something you will find at home. Wonderful menu that changes frequently and never disappoints. Price is good for what you receive. It is high by Tallahassee standards but would easily command 50% more in a major market. Service is outstanding...it simply does not disappoint in any manner. Enjoy!!! read more

Great meal, great atmosphere, great waiter (Victor), great dessert and great drinks! Highly recommend the wings!

Very good service. Delicious potatoe chips with truffle oil and dip. Hamburger was awesome.

Loved! Traveling and enjoyed conversation with locals because ... no TV! Imagine that! Service great ... food fabulous! Would absolutely recommend and return! read more

Had a spontaneous late lunch with my Mom & MIL. Mom wanted a Caesar salad with salmon, but they were out, so subbed the shrimp instead. Very spicy but good. I enjoyed the tuna salad & mil had the beet salad, very tasty. Will be back! read more

Alright, alright--this is a "one-of-a-kind," and when you're here--you will absolutely love this place. Again, close to town, and the menu is fan-tabulous. The servers are doting on you, and you just can't beat the taste of the food. I've gone here for years and I wish I were eating there right now. One-of-a-Kind for certain. A Tallahassee standard. The chef is truly amazing, and if I were a Saucier, I'd want to train with these people. I will eat their food every day. read more

Horrible service! The workers and management are ridiculous. I do not like anything about this restaurant and will never be back!

We stopped here while driving to Panama City. It was crowded during lunch, however, we were able to get a table fairly quickly. The service was wonderful and the food was amazing. A definite must-try! read more

This restaurant has some potential to be a good eatery, but on my opinion not under the current management. The service was polite, but very amateurish and slow. I can't really blame the servers, though. The kitchen was very slow in getting the food out. The food itself, while having pretensions of greatness, simply failed to be anything but very average. Again, this is a management failure, as is the apparent failure to provide staff with adequate training. On the bright side, it is not expensive. I hope they improve, but this place has been there for years with little improvement. Very average food coupled with poor service. read more
