This was a beautiful space with equally beautiful food. I did think the soup was a bit too salty, but otherwise, everything was exceptional. Service was good too and they had a great wine list. read more

If you are looking for a high end culinary experience in Steamboat look no further then Sauvage. We went for our anniversary dinner and had the five course tasting menu. Everything was wonderful. The food, the ambience and service together made for a wonderful evening. read more

Had one of my favorite Colorado meals for mom's birthday here. Amazing 5-course, French-style pre-fixe menu. I won't go into details for everything we had -- because you really can't go wrong with any of the dishes -- from the lobster/melon gazpacho, to the short rib, to the peach salad, to the scallop, to the octopus, to the sturgeon, to the lamb. The photos speak for themselves as to how beautifully presented everything was, too. One thing I WILL say: this grand marnier soufflé might just be the best dessert I've ever had. And our server was wonderful and sweet and amazing (the owners' daughter too, I think). Props to her for great suggestions and friendly service. read more

4.5/5. I was soooo excited to eat here. Sauvage's tasting menu is 95% of the reason I made the trip from Denver to Steamboat! Overall, it was a very good dining experience. I was not totally sure if I wanted to do the 3-course of 5-course, but once my server told me that it's a $15 surcharge to do the 3-course with three non-dessert items (vs. a starter, main, and dessert), I decided that for an extra $15 on top of that, I might as well do the 5-course and try it all! For menu selections, I went with (1) raw blue fin tuna, (2) ricotta filled pasta with crustaceans (prawns & lobster) and pistachio pea pesto, (3) swordfish with white bean salad, (4) squid ink vinaigrette crusted sea bass with melon and and a mussel curry foam, and (5) Sauvage birthday cake & shake. An apricot amuse bouche and a strawberry-lychee dry ice course were also provided. The bread course was phenomenal, with the mushroom pretzel roll and truffle cheddar scone being my favorites. Paired with the house Malbec. The food was innovative and cooked very well, with beautiful presentation. The waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable regarding all menu offerings, wines, etc. Reasons for losing 1/2 a star: my swordfish was very fishy. For the second course, I asked if it could be prepared without prawns (allergy). When the dish came out, there was also no lobster, and no additional protein or extra serving of pasta to compensate...I felt a bit cheated on this course and likely would have picked the other menu option had I known. The staff here is incredibly welcoming and attentive...almost too attentive. Each course contained only about 3-5 bites worth of food. Without fail, at least 2 or 3 servers checked in on me during a single course, averaging to about one check-in per bite. Although intentions were good, I felt like I could not get a moment to enjoy a bite in peace, and instead had to quickly chew and swallow so I could respond to the server. I came hungry and expected to leave hungry, because, well, it is a tasting menu. But I left full and content, for which I owe that delicious bread course so much gratitude. I would come back to Sauvage if I am ever in town again and would love to check out new offerings on their menu! read more

For the first 3 months of 2023 Sauvage Restaurant offered a 6 course tasting menu for $135/person. I've enjoyed dining here previously, and they seem to have had quite some turnover, but they haven't lost their touch. Their Winter Cocktails & Wines by the glass included Shaken, Stirred, and Zero Proof, too! The Seattle Fog, Gussied Cup, Mr. Tally Man, and Left Hand were welcomed additions to our meal. Didn't try any beer or wine offerings. Thoroughly enjoyed the Ecorce Gourmonde, coffee, and mint tea afterward. Posted a photo of the 6 course tasting menu and suggested additional wine pairings. In case you need just the horribly-reduced from the originally-clever text: First Course - Seafood Chowder Second Course - Salmon Third Course - Capon Fourth Course - Beef Fifth Course - Coco(nut) Sixth Course - Bekah's First Desert (sp?) I enjoyed the multiple meat/dessert aspect. Little tasty breads accompanied most of the courses, though it wasn't clear if they were still made in-house. The seating was comfortable and afforded a view of a brief nasty blizzard outside. Though we obviously weren't in any hurry to leave, it seems the kitchen's timing was rather off with the delivery of subsequent courses. Sometimes it was a five minute turnover and others closer to fifteen. Drinks took a long time all night, so plan way ahead for any potentially-needed refills or new drink selections. Our biggest complaint was the announcing of the courses. A plate was presented by a server who would describe its contents while entirely facing one diner and then not repeat those completely-lost words (ambience music was at a healthy volume nearby) when placing the course for the other diner. Either don't turn entirely to one side or simply repeat for each diner. It was rather annoying amateur mistake that kept happening. It was, in general, a nice celebration for two people early observing birthdays that occur deep in the heart of Mud Season when almost nobody remains open. All in, this experience was over $500, but quite enjoyable. If this is too rich, consider trying their A La Carte Menu. I still highly recommend the Sauvage Restaurant for celebrating special occasions. read more

Sauvage was supposed to be a surprise treat for my daughter and her boyfriend. They hadn't had a tasting menu before and the soup, trout, duck and pork tasting sounded delicious. They are just not. It's artsy and unique but the flavors together was just a miss for me. Nothing was hearty, rustic, or seasoned. It was confusing and needed more flavor and cohesiveness. There were a lot of elements on the dish but it didn't come together. The soup the best item. Broccoli and cheddar whipped but it was just a few spoonful. I'd honestly advise them to go to a tasting menu like Bazaar Meat with Chef Jose Andres or chef Joel Robuchon's tasting menu to see these restaurants do it. Every bite burst in your mouth and the decadence overwhelms. Everything is beautiful but incredibly tasty and thought out. I really wanted to show my guests how amazing a tasting menu was. We added the wine pairings. Unfortunately the chosen wines were not good. A nauseously sweet wine, a bitter red with a dry finish and dessert full wine I couldn't even get down. 3 inexpensive tasting wines for $119. The food was $109 a person for 5 courses and was at least in line price wise. Also a tasting should not be a full glass but a 3 oz pour. We had 12 glasses at the table including our cocktail we had hadn't finished. The positives: The outside A Frame private chalet was nice and an unusual experience. It's heated and you have a blue tooth for music. We all enjoyed that interesting part. Our server Anna was attentive and we were well taken care of. I just wish for almost $900 tab for 3 (when you add the tip) blew our socks off. I wanted my guests to experienced what I have in the past with chef inspired food tastings. I don't like to write reviews like this but I feel compelled to give the criticism they need to rethink and taste it themselves so they can be successful. read more

This was our second time dining at Sauvage and I cannot wait to come back. Kyle provides excellent service and recommendations - he is extremely knowledgeable about the dishes. The chef was incredibly accommodating and made a last-minute substitution for us. We've dined at some of the best restaurants in LA, but honestly this was one of my favorite culinary experiences ever. Thank you Sauvage for providing an unforgettable birthday dinner!! read more

3 stars is being generous based on my recent experience at Sauvage. The service from Ariel was outstanding and saved what would have been an otherwise hard pass on this "French style" restaurant in Steamboat. They are located on a quiet street so there was plenty of off street parking available. For a Saturday night 7:00p reservation I was a little surprised to find the place empty. I think there was only one other party dining the entire time we were there, which was close to 4 hours. This is always a red flag for me. I do not recommend coming here if you are looking for semi-speedy service, the entire dining experience is overly drawn out as if building anticipation for the next course will somehow make it better. I ordered the 5 course experience and was disappointed in the food. While each plate was beautifully presented, the taste under delivered. I definitely would not recommend the pumpkin salad or the Duck for the Main Event. Both were bland and really lacked any type of cohesion to the other ingredients on the plate. The Apple & Cognac Soufflé was definitely a stand out from the other items I tried and apparently it's one of the dishes they're known for. If you choose to dine here I definitely recommend ordering this. read more

So.... We were looking for a fancy dinner place. This definitely fits the bill. The service was outstanding, the ambiance was perfect, and the wine was supurb. The food was on a whole new level. It was like going on a new adventure with new other wordly tastes and textures with every course. Every single, what ended up being 8 courses, was like an edible piece of art. The staff brought fresh flatware with every course and elegantly described each minescule portion of the meal. The reason I rated this restaurant four stars instead of five was because we left feeling full and a little confused. We had gone in for dinner but received something that included dinner but was definitely more of an experience. We ate probably 60+ different types of lifeforms, everything including snails liver, finger Limes waygu beef, white salmon, lobster, pomegranets, multiple different kinds of foam and tons of things I can't even remember and have never heard of. This is definitely a place to experience, but I am not so sure we will be back regularly as unbelievable; it was a little overwhelming with how 'much' of everything there was. read more

Had the most amazing 5 course meal in over a year! Service was great! I enjoyed the atmosphere, all the tables were properly spaced and all the staff wore masks. They served us a Trout croquette to start. I ordered the beef carpaccio, pasta, duck, aged beef and open sesame panna cotta desi. My friend got the escargot, beet salad, duck, king crab risotto and soufflé. Everything was flavorful and had a good mix of flavors and textures. The risotto was super rich. The aged beef was tender and cooked perfectly. The panna cotta was very light and refreshing. The beef carpaccio and beet salad were served with something sweet which gave it a good mix of sweet and salty. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Definitely would return! read more

If you're open-minded about the food, you definitely need to try this place next time you're in Steamboat. Everything had so much flavor, and some of the ingredients you think are a little strange complimented the others in the dish. Make sure not to eat before, even though you may think it won't fill you up...it will. A piece of bread/pastry comes with each course. read more

My husband and I went for Christmas dinner. Attentive service. Tasting menu unique and very flavorful. First two courses of bisque and then fish were not particularly warm, if that was intentional. Duck phenomenal, lamb was tasty but fatty. Desserts unique but not what would have selected if given the choice. Bread service with each course great in concept but slightly dry and not served warm. Wine pairing excellent however extremely expensive for the quantity. Ambiance cozy; glad I switched out the wooden chair for a fabric and cushioned chair. Grateful for an additional special occasion restaurant in Steamboat. The team definitely has the skill to make it work! read more

I wish I could leave 0 stars for this place. I went here for my Aunts birthday. They said half of us couldn't order off the tasting menu vs the A La carta menu?? Even though the manager said we could over the phone. The food portions are CRIMINALLY BAD. $15 for bread are you serious?? The manager on site was very rude with an awful attitude. The cherry on top was they couldn't figure out how to split a check two ways. I am a local and definitely won't be coming anywhere near this establishment. Birthday ruined and very expensive "dinner". Only leaving 1 star for our waitress Z who was nice and understanding. Manager shouldn't be in front of people managing anybody lol. Joke of a place. read more

Another incredible experience at Sauvage! Although we preferred the chalets which are no longer operating - we dined instead, not my top choice. The service and food were impeccable. We did the tasting menu of course and it did not disappoint. Best parts were: French onion soup, lobster sammie, agnolotti, risotto and chocolate soufflé. Love this place, we will be back every season we're in steamboat for sure. read more

We pre-paid for a tasting menu during restaurant week. When we arrived we were told the wine pairing was not available. When we complained, we were invited to leave. We've never been treated so rudely - even in Paris! Gives French restaurants a bad name. Now I'm left with trying to get my money back for a meal I never received. We were told that the restaurant was full. We'll I hope they have better luck! Hospitality is not Sauvage's strong suit. Good luck to you, just give me my money back! read more

OK - this is French fine dining in a BEAUTIFUL mountain town. Reservations needed and it is usually a tasting menu - prix fix for 6 course dinner. Well, at first the portions seem miniscule but by 3rd or 4th item, you start feeling sated. By the end of dessert, you realize the sizes were perfect (at least for non-gluttons) Anyway, the food - wow: some dishes sound familiar but they pack so much more flavor then described. This place is pricey but not exorbitant. Come here if you want a higher, more refined dining experience than most mountain town fare. I mean that it a good way. read more

One of the best meals of my life. Everything about the experience was incredible from the first cocktail to the music and ambiance. The sturgeon and potatoes in beurre blanc was absolutely everything. SO light and buttery - like comfort food flavors but sushi. The short rib with the fois gras add on was out of this world. The melon soup was fabulous. The only just okay things I could have skipped were the shrimp and the scallop. Although really well cooked, both weren't really worth it if you can save room for other stuff on the menu. My husband loved the flambe as did I but it was a lot after a huge meal. The blueberry ice cream was yummy but a bit cold for the rainy night. Wish I got the birthday cake instead simply for the temperature and comfort food element. read more

Hands down one of the (if not thee) best meal of my life. The menu was perfectly curated to showcase the season. We got both a bottle of red and white to pair with the 6-course tasting menu. The sommelier was knowledgeable. The staff was extremely accommodating to the food allergies at our table. We will definitely be dining again as soon as the menu changes with the season - can not wait to see the amazing magic the kitchen staff makes. (I would add photos however we didn't take any because we were so excited to eat each course) read more

This place is perfection. My boyfriend and I went with the 5 course tasting menu each (a bit much for me but he handled my deficiency). We basically got to try everything on the menu besides two entrees. Our server made our experience a 12/10 since she was able to recite all the ingredients on every plate when it arrived and their plate timing was impeccable. The only item we both weren't found of was the fish entree but only because the bar was already set to space. Definitely coming here everything i go to steamboat read more

Food dominated by classic, continental rich-creamy cuisine, that was just not for us - very "heavy", though most seem fine with it.

Great attentive service in a nice setting. read more

I'll start by stating that I used to live in France. Coming back to the states it's nearly impossible to find authentic French food and menus. Sauvage is hands down one of the best, most authentic French restaurants I've EVER been to. My husband and I were beyond impressed. Each bite was absolute perfection. I can't rave enough about it. This meal is one of the best I've ever had. Even the China is imported from France! I felt like I was back in France again. The chefs are incredible!! I have no idea how they make this food so good. Each dish was not only beautiful, like true art, but the taste was out of this world!! This is our new favorite restaurant in steamboat by far!! If you are deciding on where to eat for an upscale, classy meal I can guarantee YOU WILL NOT FIND A BETTER MEAL anywhere else here. Thank you Sauvage for an incredible night! read more

A wonderful experience. Sauvage deserves attention from the Forbes Travel Guide, at least Recommended or perhaps even 4-star, it was that good. A world-class experience. Whether your are an experienced fine diner or a novitiate, the staff will make you feel right at home. The seared foie gras in particular was splendid and the sugar free dessert I'd requested when reserving was not only waiting for me, it was wonderful. The lady I was with was enjoying her first fine dining experience and I think we created a fine dining monster. read more

Food price / quality rating 10. The atmosphere is Contemporary Chic. When you walk into this restaurant you immediately know that you are in for an unforgettable dining experience. The well chosen decor, includes a beautiful black and white granite bar. The dining area (seats about 50) and bar area (seats about 15) and patio area (seats about 16) have their own distinct personalities but harmonize and blend seamlessly. We were lucky enough to find this place while on vacation, and even luckier to arrive during Happy Hour where we were offered a varied list of small plate meals. We ordered the Phyllo Baked Cheese, Meatballs, Pork and Cocoa Sandwich, and Lamb Ribs. All of them were prepared properly with premium ingredients, and presented beautifully and artistically through use of color and texture of a wide array of garnishes. To describe all of the nuances associated with each dish would require 100 words a piece. We sat at the bar where Kyle entertained us and made us feel welcome. His mixology skills and knowledge of the town made our visit very enjoyable. The crowning glory for our repast was a Palisade Peach Souffle with a cup of top shelf coffee by local company "Big Iron Roasters". We've eaten every meal for the last 12 days at restaurants, and this place is by far the best on all counts - quality, flavors, preparation, presentation, value, and service. Kudos and thanks to Chef Kasper and his entire crew for making our best vacation food memory! read more

Not for us. Sauvage is a very expensive restaurant with excellent service and only Ok food. The fixed price 6 course meal is designed for foodies who are looking for more experimentation with their meals. We didn't really enjoy some of the dishes, but because of their complexity we couldn't tell you if there was anything that should have been different. More simple flavors would have been preferred for us. Sauvage is a great place if you have a pallet that is sophisticated and you are willing to pay to have it tested. read more

We actually had our wedding dinner at Sauvage in March and I neglected to write a review after... we ate again last night and WOW. Food is creative and seasonally focused. Wine list and somm are delightful and deeply passionate. Service is attentive and fun without being snobby. Gorgeous interior. The summer menu is so good, foieberries were wildly inventive, palisade peach souffle, everything so good. Our experience planning our wedding dinner with Kasper, Denni and the team was also a true delight. They were endlessly flexible with our asks and pulled together a dinner for 18 in the private room upstairs that was flawless. We had 6 courses all with pairings that were done with precision, even accounting for a ton of different allergy combos for our guests. The upstairs space is super private and feels like dining in a cool loft home somewhere with couches and spaces to mingle and lounge. You can really tell the whole team at Sauvage is passionate about making this fine dining concept work in Steamboat. Check it out, you will have a wonderful experience! read more
