Sage prides itself on offering a sustainable menu of seasonal ingredients, so the menu items at the Las Vegas restaurant change rather frequently. Here are a few items that remain steadfast hits year-round:

1. The beet salad. Try the beet salad with walnuts and bleu cheese foam (you won’t regret it). Not only does the foamed bleu cheese provide an inventive presentation, but it also serves as the perfect contrast to the crunchy walnuts and beets.

2. The pork loin. If you’re in the mood for meat but don’t want to feel stuffed afterwards, go for a lighter option and try the Iberico pork loin, complete with milk-braised cannelloni, baby eggplant and creminelli mortadella.

3. The peach praline profiteroles. Fans of cream puffs will delight in the peach praline profiteroles when dessert time rolls around. With roasted peaches, praline gelato and peach jus, this fruity treat satiates a sweet tooth.

4. The foie gras custard brûlée. For a unique take on a typically elegant offering, order the foie gras custard brûlée for an appetizer. This dish is the perfect marriage of sweet and savory, and features bing cherries and crusted cocoa nibs with a salty brioche.

5. Absinthe. Time your dinner so you can enjoy a selection of Absinthe, one of the inventive housemade cocktails or intriguing beers at the large bar and lounge area before settling down for a modern farm dinner. Since letting loose is practically a requirement in Las Vegas, Sage’s impressive absinthe menu will ease you into a fun night in Sin City.  

The bar at Sage, located near the entrance of the Las Vegas restaurant, is the ideal place to go for appetizers or to sip on a signature cocktail. Wine offerings run the gamut, with varietals from California, France, Spain and New Zealand. Try the no-fuss Sage Martini — a local take on your classic dry martini— which includes Nolet’s Silver gin, dry vermouth and house olives. Or sip on the Pink Julep, a concoction of Death’s Door White Whiskey, pomegranate syrup and fresh mint. One of Sage’s most unique offerings is its selection of absinthe, a sure-fire way to kick off a night in Sin City.

Sage doesn't offer a kids' menu. It caters to adults so it’s not a great place to take the children. The Las Vegas restaurant doesn’t offer a kids menu nor are children under five permitted inside. Due to Sage’s upscale contemporary vibe — not to mention its more sophisticated culinary offerings — it’s probably not the best option if you’re searching for a family-friendly restaurant during your Las Vegas vacation. If you can hire a babysitter for the night, we recommend escaping to Sage for a romantic night out.

With its dim lighting and sexy vibe, Sage is your go-to destination for a romantic night out in Las Vegas. This sultry and ultra-chic lounge will up the ante on your date night as you grab a cozy table for two and let the restaurant cater to you. Spend time perusing Sage’s extensive wine, cocktail and absinthe list, offering authentic flavors from all over the world. Sage is the perfect spot to indulge in quality time with your special someone, while dining on some of the best cuisine in Las Vegas.

The dessert menu at Sage changes seasonally — just like its regular menu — so you’ll likely try a new sweet treat each time you visit the Las Vegas restaurant. The menu consists of both fruity and chocolate options, with seasonal fruits used profusely. During our summer visit, we loved the blackberry and chocolate cremeux and the peach praline profiteroles. Both were a unique and tasty take on classic desserts.

The best seats at Sage depend on what kind of mood you’re in when you arrive at the Las Vegas restaurant. When we dined there, we felt like being in the middle of the action — and the four-seaters around the pillar in the center of the dining room met our needs. It was a great place for lively conversation and people-watching. If you’re on a date and want a tucked away spot for quiet conversation, request one of the alcove tables for two.

Once you step inside Sage, the words “luxury,” “sexy” and “contemporary” ring true — especially when it comes to describing the interior design of the Las Vegas restaurant. While Sage exudes an opulent vibe, the space manages to still feel cozy and comfortable, with plush lounge chairs and a romantic purple, black and metallic color scheme. The space is dimly lit, illuminating the restaurant’s several wall murals and reaffirming that the space is anything but dull.

Sage offers inventive, contemporary American cuisine with a Mediterranean influence. With esteemed executive chef Shawn McClain — a veteran in the Chicago restaurant scene — running the show, the sustainably focused menu is filled with an ever-changing array of seasonal fruits and vegetables. No matter what your taste or dietary restrictions, you’ll find a variety of options here. The Las Vegas restaurant serves braised meat dishes as well as lighter entrées, such as organic chicken and duck with figs. The menu also features a good selection of pasta and seafood.
