After being warned by hostess/waitress that they were very busy (4 tables) we would probably get bad service we decided to stay. We didn’t hesitate and immediately ordered drinks and dinner. After over an hour not once did the hostess/waitress check to see if we...needed another drink or let us know how our order was coming along. So we watched for over an hour the 4 tables eat, order dessert and pay and a couple who arrived after us get their meal did the waitress/hostess come to us. She (from Quebec) told us that she forgot to put our order in at all. So after waiting over an hour our order still hadn’t been place. Sage Restaurant this waitress/hostess is not doing you any favours except warning customers that they will be getting bad service before you even sit down. First time ever that we never left a tip.More

Literally not one tapas dish on the menu. It's literally in the name of the restaurant, not the best impression to start with!

Very disappointing. Not a good start with a small tuna appetizer in soggy wonton cup. Dry boneless beef short rib to follow, had to ask for gravy to make it edible. Hoped that sticky toffee pudding would rescue the meal. No such luck. Dry with...no toffee in sight. Will not return which saddens us as we Nelson has been a getaway, a five hour drive away, for many years with Sage providing a dependable evening out.More

Nelson is full of fun and delicious casual dining. I wanted something just a little more upmarket for my birthday and this was the place. We sat outside on the heated and covered patio which made for a beautiful setting. There was a great menu...to choose from. I had the cod and my husband the lamb. The wine selection was vast and it was easy to find something to pair with dinner. We would definitely go back to this restaurantMore

A valentines dinner with a set menu to choose from. Although we had early (6pm) reservations they were already out of one of the three options. Settled for the steak and it was tough. I should have stayed home and cooked.

We sat on the patio. The heaters were on and blankets provided (making it a comfortable place to be on an evening in mid October) The service from start to finish was excellent - thanks Paulo). We shared four appetizers and a dessert. The appetizers...were all large enough to share and we didn't leave hungry.More

I was there on a Friday afternoon and could not understand why the place was not packed. There is a lovely patio with a great view. They serve BC wines exclusively and will pour a flight if you like. I didn't eat but the food...offerings looked interesting. Definitely worth visiting.More

Have taken my parents here several times. Despite the variety of high quality food in Nelson it is always my first pick. Literally so delicious and I appreciate that they rotate the menu.

I can highly recommend this restaurant. The food was amazing, I had the Filet Mignon and my wife had the ravioli. Wine selection was good and the sticky toffee pudding to share was a great finish. Support this eatery, it’s a good one.

we had dinner here with 5 guys (from the Netherlands) doing a ski trip around BC. Found this restaurant on Tripadvisor. We were stunned with the quality. We literally had all starters from the "starters" tapa menu, all of those were exquisite. The mains we...had were also fantastic. Don't want to sound presumptuous but quality was of "European standard", unlike most of the other restaurants we've visited in BC. The wines and the Ginto's were also excellent. A big compliment for the chef who we didn't get to see, as well as the lady attending us.More
