Overview: A nice eatery in Barona Casino, a large variety of food and pretty good food, but some are hit or miss. ---- My favorites are the ox tail soup, calamari, lamb shank, and pistachio crusted lamb chops The bbq pork fried rice was not that good, the bbq pork was a bit dry and tough and the rice was a bit too salty. The fried calamari and the fries it comes with are so good, especially topped with lemon juice and dipped in the tartar sauce. The ox tail soup has very tender meat, but I wish there were more vegetables in the soup. Sometimes the vegetables aren't cooked enough. ---- Service can be hit or miss, but we had Wes this last time who was fantastic! Super friendly and attentive, all around awesome. ---- The lighting is a bit dim and makes the menu a little hard to read but it does make for a more intimate atmosphere. ---- Overall: there are some great places to eat at in Barona but we consistently choose Sage!
This is a really good spot to get a prime rib dinner special at Barona casino. The service is prompt and even when you do have to wait they text you when your table is ready. The cafe ambiance is casual and average noise level lots of celebrations too
This restaurant is inside Barona Casino all the way in the back of the building over looking the pond & golf course our hostess was nice & professional took us to a quiet spot with nice views & took our drink orders & came back with our drinks & a variety of breads & butter which were warm & delicious then took our meal order soup or salad I had the wedge salad which was very cold & tasted so good with the toppings & dressings the 14oz prime rib was very tender & delicious the green beans warm & crunchy the way I like them & the garlic mash potatoes were to die for I ate half of the meal & took the rest home & the meal came with strawberry or vanilla ice cream I had strawberry which was very good too & the price was great $24+tax for the 14oz & the 12oz prime rib was $20+tax I can't wait to come back & I forgot to take a picture of the ice cream
Food here today was bountiful and top notch for Barona. I usually start with the waffle but was stoked to receive a bread basket featuring fry bread (!!!), which I'd never seen here before. I added a drizzle of honey and took an immediate trip to carb heaven. The calamari app was a huge portion, heavy on the breading but still scrumptious when doused with fresh lemon and tartar sauce. Bf's ribeye was juicy, and I still had room to enjoy half of his baked potato side and more fry bread before slipping into a food coma.
FRIED RIIIIIIIICE!!!! Ok this review is going to be short and sweet! Barona casino has interesting food.. but his little cafe in the corner as you heading to the Hotel side, is GEM! We stopped here two days in a row and each time took Togo boxes for mischiefs later.... The first thing is the Native bread that comes out as a starter.... You guys I have never had this , it's so perfect and simple it's so hard to explain why it's so good besides less is more! It's a fluffy fried hollow piece of bread, that you put butter and honey on! And oh my God it's life changing! And second but not last!! I ordered something you would me ever think to get at a cafe but, I was in a church and everyone had already ordered and was staring waiting for me... so on a whim I said " can I have the Cantonese fried rice with BBQ Pork" after I said it I could believe I ordered that.... But to my surprise this was the greatest fried rice I have ever ever ever had in my life.... And anyone who know me knows.... I've had a lot of fried rice I mean I'm part Asian! But even my mother couldn't pull this off... Fluffy and airy... never have I had rice this fluffy soft and airy... especially if it's fried I mean, how do you even pull that off... frying it but keep it soft... my mind was blown..... Yes this tiny cafe all the way in the mountains of Barona has the best fried rice in all of San Diego!! Your welcome! We Love Sage Cafe!!!
Our first time here on Monday, We had a table of 6 of us. It's was slow here..and not very friendly here I try the Fresh fried chicken I wasn't impressed by all means! Soup was albondigas that was okay needs more spices, and I asked for salsa no salsa here at the Sage Cafe. The prime rib was the best plate here, Southwest chicken salad 3 Salmon plate 3 2 fried chicken 3 Soup. Pork Filipino soup 4 Prime rib 5 and dessert was ice creams big scoop I will try a another Resturant next time there's 6 more to try. Oh we like the fried bread, and dinner roll too they gave us 2 baskets for the table to start
It's been a while since the last time I dined in at Sage cafe. Took my girlfriend to Barona for a little weekend gateway. We woke up early and craved for a traditional American breakfast. She ordered waffle with strawberries and added an extra crispy harsh brown, and I ordered steak and egg with toast. It took a bit long to get our order after we sat down, but within acceptable waiting time. The server was friendly. Pretty cozy to eat here with the country side decor. Will come back to try out other breakfast items when we come back next time.
Sage Café at Barona Casino is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in San Diego County -- and the fact that it's open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year makes it even better! It doesn't matter if you come in at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., the menu stays the same, and you can order breakfast, lunch, or dinner anytime. The consistency in both food quality and service is honestly impressive. I've been here several times, and one thing that really stands out is the amount of food you get for the price. One of my all-time favorites is the 14 oz Complete Prime Rib Dinner for just $23.95. You get a perfectly cooked, tender prime rib served with au jus, grilled mashed potatoes, and green beans. It also includes your choice of soup or a crisp iceberg wedge salad, plus an ice cream dessert. I chose the wedge salad to start, which came out quickly and was incredibly fresh with a huge portion. When the prime rib arrived, it was cooked to perfection -- juicy, flavorful, and honestly massive. I almost couldn't finish it! For dessert, I went with strawberry ice cream -- just a scoop, but the perfect sweet touch to end a great meal. And before I forget -- they start you off with Indian fry bread and butter, which is absolutely delicious and feels like getting half a loaf of warm, fluffy bread. On another occasion, I came in for breakfast, and once again, the experience was fantastic. I ordered the Barona Deuces Wild for $12.95, which comes with 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, and 2 pancakes, plus hash browns and toast. When it arrived, the entire table was full -- I couldn't believe how much food came with it. Everything was cooked just the way I asked: eggs scrambled perfectly, sausage well done, and pancakes fluffy and golden. The ambience at Sage Café is a wonderful mix between casual and formal, giving off more of a hotel-style dining vibe. Sitting by the windows in the dining room offers lovely views, but personally, I prefer a cozy booth. The restaurant features beautiful hand-painted scenery, which I believe depicts the Barona Reservation, adding a special touch that connects to the local area. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal any time of day. The service here is top-notch, easily on par with -- if not better than -- some high-end restaurants. The staff is friendly, attentive, and constantly checking in to make sure everything's perfect. If you're in Ramona or near Barona Casino, and you want great food at a great price any time of day or night, Sage Café is the place to go. I'll definitely be coming back again and again -- and the 24-hour service just makes it even better!
Sage cafe is an inexpensive place to eat, a dining option in the Barona Casino Resort. We especially like the breakfast options served 24 hours. Coffee is great, we enjoyed a 3-egg omelette with choice of ingredients, 2-egg meal with ham steak, toast, hash browns, and complimentary bread basket. Regular entrees served too including prime rib, steak, meatloaf, etc. Also extensive variety of desserts. Prices are very reasonable. Courteous staff.
To begin with, Sage Cafe is located in the Barona Ranch and Casino, which is the cleanest and most beautiful casinos around! The restaurant is a cafe but the interior is more like an upscale restaurant with an amazing view of the golf course. Wes, our server was so warm and friendly, and that always makes dining a treat. Sage began by offering fry bread with honey, powdered and cinnamon sugar, yummy! My wife and I both ordered the everyday Prime Rib dinner which comes with either soup or salad, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes and ice cream for dessert. All was well seasoned and fresh but the star of the meal was the prime rib. It was prepared a perfect medium rare and was so perfectly cooked you could almost cut it with a fork! This delicious meal was fantastic for the price, we practically paid nothing! Great food, amazing service and a wonderful view make Sage Cafe a special place to visit!
Located inside Barona casino, Sage Cafe is open 24 hours and serves a variety of items: breakfast, sandwiches, comfort food, steak, Asian offerings, and more. The ambiance is cozy and relaxing. The window seats have awesome views of the valley. Their Indian fry bread is always a must before our meal. It is addicting and so good hot and fresh, with some added butter, cinnamon, and powder sugar. Albondigas soup is decent. I enjoy their buffalo wings appetizer, I get it with the sauce on the side (I'm not a fan of buffalo sauce). The Prime Rib is great. The Indian Butter Chicken is pretty good. I love French toast, however, their Barona's World Famous French Toast is NOT to my liking... and oh yea, their cheesecake is the best cheesecake in town!
This is the restaurant inside the Barona Hotel and Casino. It's nice and spacious inside, the food was good and I thought the prices were reasonable. I had lunch there on a weekday, and my only negative concern is that the service was friendly, but seemed pretty slow. I ordered the tuna salad sandwich for $13.95 which came with a side of onion rings, which I thought was quite good. This is a good place to enjoy a meal if you are staying at the hotel or spending some time there. However, it's probably not the best place if you are in a hurry and don't have plenty of time.
...casino buffets are giving way to food halls. barona used to have one of the best in san diego but folded a few years ago. sage cafe has a pretty good steak and eggs breakfast, but it's just not the same without a cluster of all-you-can-eat snow crab legs hanging off the edge of the plate. before & after. @tabasco sauce makes everything sexier
This is such a great restaurant for celebrating friends & family. Staff are all fantastic and accommodating. Celebrated today with a group of 10 and the waitress went above & beyond to make this a special dinner. I had the prime rib special and got a baked potato, wedge salad and ice cream for dessert. All for $20. That's a deal and it was so good. Along with several appetizers. Than any other country there's such a good variety to be able to make everyone in your party happy. And, conveniently located at Barona Casino. read more
Love the prime ribs cooked perfectly and delicious. Generally, good food, generous portions at very reasonable price. Our server Jaqueline, she was courteous, prompt, friendly, and helpful. She not only took our orders, serve our food, and she also act as hostess the front, such a versatile person! read more
We're at Barona Casino and decided to eat here because of the wide variety of menu options. We ordered the steak and eggs, oxtail soup (bulalo) with rice, and sugar-free cheesecake for dessert. Everything we ordered was delicious, and we all enjoyed our meals. The service from Jonathan was exceptional and truly went above and beyond. Contrary to some of the negative reviews, our experience was excellent from start to finish. One small suggestion: if you order the oxtail soup (bulalo), make sure it's served piping hot. Ours was only lukewarm, and it would have been even better if it had been hotter. Not only were the food and service outstanding, but the prices were also very reasonable, especially considering how nice and upscale the restaurant looks. I'll definitely be dining here again the next time I visit Barona Casino! read more

Very roomy, nicely decorative space, especially for the holidays. The wait was a bit strenuous as it didn't seem packed at all but took awhile to get our server over to take our order. The food, though was delicious, yet the calamari was my least favorite ordered as it wasn't up to my standards for what I thought calamari should taste like..it was more like a frozen fried fish stick.. but the fries were perfect. Oxtail soup, I recommend adding extra meat as it's only $5 and some change.. it's so much more filling and who doesn't like extra protein. read more
Haven't been here in more than 10 years. It was a busy afternoon when my wife and I decided to try this place out. It was my wife's first time here. We had to check in and reserve our seats. The ambiance was serene, with a sense of cleanliness pervading the air. As for the food, it didn't disappoint. I opted for their prime rib, which came with a choice of salad or soup, followed by a delightful serving of ice cream for dessert. The complimentary bread was both flavorful and satisfying. Initially, the service was commendable. However, as we requested our check at the end, time seemed to stretch indefinitely. Eventually, we had to flag down someone to acknowledge our request. Despite this hiccup, we left with a positive impression. Will definitely go back here again on our next visit to Barona Casino. read more
We experienced excellent service from the staffs. Bulalo was excellent. Tuna melt was great! Steak and eggs was delicious too. We ate at 5am, and the server was very helpful. He's working alone, but made sure we were taken cared of. We highly recommend this place. Located inside Barona Hotel. 1-17-2024 read more

Me and my family love eating here! We are treated like Family here at Sage! The food is great! I love the selection of foods they have. It's so nice that they have International dishes on their menu. And they taste authentic. The staff is amazing! They are very caring and friendly. It is because they have a FABULOUS MANAGER! Michelle, the Sage Manager is simply the BEST! She goes out of her way to help her staff, when needed. She treats her staff and customers like Family. One time, while we were waiting to be seated. I spotted Michelle , take a seat at a customers table, and took her order. I was floored by her, making her customer feel at home. I believe that when you have a great Manager, it shows in the attitudes and service of the staff. It starts with the manager. And Michelle is this Amazing Manager!! Thanks, Michelle and your awesome Staff for always making us feel like we are at your home having a delicious homemade breakfast or meal!! Highly recommend Sage for delicious food and amazing service!!! read more

The restaurant is located inside of the casino. If you have a players card check to see if you have points to use towards your meal. The service here was good. I loved the bread, I didn't really need to add honey or anything else to it. I had prime rib (delicious), green beans, mashed potato; it came with soup, I chose Albondigas soup (really good). This meal also included ice cream, I had strawberry and it was yummy. The prices here are reasonable. There's plenty of tables in the spacious dining room. The service was good, we had a friendly server. read more

Food was good but the server took a long time to take our order then as she's taking order#2, she snapped at my friend who wanted to make sure we're all ordering different stuff. Jacqueline snapped at her by saying: "Im right here, I speak your language, talk to me-Im taking your order!" And it's not like we've taken any of her time yet - she just got there! And when I asked for another box to go - she said: u want another box? Hard to fit a hardly eaten full rack of ribs! I did take her aside & told her I was disappointed since I brought my friends there cuz my 1st time was awesome! We drove all the way from South Bay for it! She also didn't offer me my ice cream that came with my full prime rib dinner. Jacqueline said "sorry , let me make it up to you next time." Hard to want to come back when you get a bad attitude. She was short with us after only a few minutes of taking our order. This was Saturday night * Ambiance was good, we like it that it wasn't smokey inside the casino! read more
