Great food and great service! This is our second time going and both times were incredible! They even honored a discount I had even though I forgot to bring it with me!

Vegetarian tasting menu was delicious! As were the cocktails I tried - lemon myrtle fizz and passion fruit mojito. Staff were all very friendly and helpful

We have been going to Sage for many years. Our last 2 visits have been very disappointing. The service and food and attention to detail have not met expectations of previous experiences. Sadly this is unlikely to be our go to restaurant for future dining.

Despite the domestic rankings, being served cold meats from the deli was not ideal.. I opted for the full menu with matching wine, two of the five dishes were apparently shortcut, the setting was reasonable, except the stagnant water breeding mosquitoes. I had much higher expectations for $460 dollars…

Nice evening at Sage. Good service (from philipino waiter). Food was good overall but a little rich at times. Crab dish was not great. Pastrami dish was a bit unsophisticated and there was too much of it. Disappointing paucity of vegetables in all dishes. Passionfruit dessert was delicious.

The food was really disappointing. The flavours did not mesh at all. I think the worst was the rainbow trout with octopus bolognese, it was so salty it was almost inedible. The ribs were really fatty and tasteless.The dessert was lovely. The restaurant was really understaffed the waiters were not able to keep up with the wine pairings which was either late for the food served or didn’t turn up at all until asked for it. The toilets were disgusting , filthy, no toilet roll holder and paper all over the floor. We were amazed that Akiba is owned by the same company. We had dinner there on Friday night and it was really lovely. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner for my husband and we were all disappointed and feel we did not get value for money.
