We loved this restaurant. Although on booking I had to make a choice of the 6pm-8pm A La Carte or 8pm onwards for Degustation menu. This is a little difficult when booking for others but as it happened we were happy to be seated at 6pm. Could have stayed longer than 2 hrs. The waiters were absolutely fabulous. Very attentive...

It's rare to find a restaurant in Canberra that offers a vegetarian degustation. My husband and I went here for an anniversary dinner. He had the meat degustation and I had the vegetarian one. We were both really impressed with the food, and each plate was a piece of art. The service was flawless, there was never a time that... More

We visited Sage with a group of seven people for the degustation menu. We'd always known it was there but because it was off the beaten track a bit, had always forgotten about it when booking nights out. The food was excellent and great value for money. For a degustation we didn't feel like we had eaten too much until... More

Sage restaurant aspires to be a class act and succeeds. A smart premises tucked into Gorman house. Well attired and more knowledgeable waiters than you find in most of Canberra's better restaurants. Beautiful table settings with some custom-made crockery. Sophisticated menu with the option of two dishes for $60. The three of us all tried different entrees, mains and desserts... More

Mid-week lunch time with only one other couple in the restaurant. I had the herbivore tasting menu and my companion had the omnivore tasting menu, each of seven courses. The restaurant itself is quite pleasant. The presentation of the food was very elegant and the flavours lovely. Whilst we both enjoyed our meal, there was nothing that was particularly outstanding;... More

Always a treat at Sage and the matched wines just top it off. A great way to sample wines you wouldn't ordinarily try, matched with the food, and with a little postcard at the end to summarise what it was you have been tasting. Not to be missed.

Have been to Sage Restaurant for a few different occasions, and I have never left disappointed - quite the opposite!! The wait staff are incredibly knowledgable, their menu is seasonal, and the presentation of the meals is absolute perfection. This restaraunt will make you leave wanting to go back!

We visited Sage for a birthday dinner last night and as per our previous visits we had the degustation which is to die for. This restaurant has class and should only be visited if you are looking for an amazing dining experience with professional and attentive staff and an incredible chef. My only complaint is that I would kill to... More

We went to celebrate our 21st birthdays and left feeling extremely content. The food was amazing, we had the omnivore tasting menu with matched wines and the optional cheese course. Our waiter was Mike who was very knowledgeable about every dish and described in great detail the wines that matched each course. Each course came at the perfect time and... More

It was my husband's birthday so the family decided to go to Sage to celebrate. From the moment we arrived to the time we left it was perfection. We were blown away by the degustation and matching wines, each meal was like art on a plate and a party in your mouth. The service from the staff was second to... More
