4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2012 NEW

Had the Autumn degustation menu for dinner wit Fee and the in-laws. The courses were mostly very nice, with lots of small, experimental things on them. Can highly recommend the small amuse bouche of mushrooms and heirloom carrots and really enjoyed the confit of duck with orange and licorice overtones, particularly with an Adelaide Hills Temperanillo! Some of the dishes... More

My daughter tricked me into coming here and lunch here was a Birthday Surprise! For someone that hates surprises and does not like to celebrate birthdays going on the wrong side of 50, let me just say- the food at this place changed the complexion of my day! We ate: Beetroot Variations for our Entree, with eucalyptus smoked trout (I... More

I went to dinner here with a few friends for a girls night out. The atmosphere was wonderful. We sat in the garden and although it's very cool outside at night now, the big heaters kept us toasty warm. We had the three course and the food was sensational. The serves are generous and the quality of food was exceptional.... More

This restaurant is my favourtie fine dining experience in Canberra, atmosphere, service & food are all amazing. I love sitting in the garden in summer, with all of the wisteria blooming & the fairy lights & also in winter with the heaters creating a comfortable setting. Also the Mint Garden bar is just two steps away for a cocktail after... More

This was a return visit to Sage to experience their new Winter menu, and also our anniversary. We had high expectations, and they were fully met. The menu is really creative, with a choice of tasting menus for "omnivores" and "herbivores". We settled on the a la carte, having three courses each plus a bottle of Tertini Pinot Noir. Very...

My partner and I were given a voucher here as an engagement present. A fantastic present! We both had the Omnivore degustation. ($120 each) which had 8 courses. We were able to swap one course which we didn't want. Each course was amazing and like a piece of art. The staff were amazing and knowledgable on each dish. Highly recommended... More

This is a high end priced restaurant for special occasions (unless you are very wealthy). However the menu and wine list is phenomenal. We took the six course degustation with matched wines at $170 a head for our recent wedding anniversary. The food and wine were worth every penny. Some of the most innovative and satisfying plates I have eaten... More

We did the degustation menu with wine (extra topups provided without asking). Fairly expensive but we had a great four hours with friends. Loved the alfresco atmosphere and there is an indoor section too.

We celebrated our anniversary here last month. As this was a special occasion we were after something really fantastic and Sage did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived the wait staff were very attentive and their knowledge of the dishes was impressive. The meals were magnificent. They looked like a work of art on a plate and they tasted... More
