    The entrance of this restaurant taken from their absolutely beautiful outdoor patio.
    Deb A.

    Pro's: Beautifully done interior and lovely outdoor patio with flowers and other foliage, hanging lights...lovely. Con's: Where's the duck? (see below) Go back?: Likely More... Great happy hour special on wines by the glass...$5 off before five. Arrived at 4:15PM for an early dinner with a friend. This was really nice as there was plenty of parking, even right in front, at that time. (Think happy hour/apps?). We shared the truffle fries and yellowfin tuna poke. Both were excellent. I ordered the duck confit with pasta. Quick aside...my rule of thumb for dining out these days is that I am going to order something I am unlikely to make at home. With that, I went for the duck...one of my favorite dishes so a treat when I see it on the menu. However, there was only one, solid piece of duck in the whole bowl of pasta (and other veg ingredients). There were some threads/strands of meat, but only one mouthful. Bummer. I would return here as there are many other items on the menu I'd like to try and it is a lovely location.

    Really used to love this place - The environment, selection, service are all great. ... but the last three times food was crazy over-salted. I think it would be fine if I remembered to tell them no salt as I ordered (which I kept forgetting). I don't have this issue anywhere else. Yes, I told them after first two times and they remade it without issue, but I'd rather not have to say it at all !

    Had to check out the new spot! Server was great - 5 stars super sweet, food and drinks came quickly. Such a pretty restaurant, they have 1 in Tahoe too. Fully stocked bar - will definitely be back for happy hour. I got a lavender / limoncello/ thyme mimosa - best choice ever and favorite thing we ordered. We chose food off the brunch menu and the presentation was also great - but the food itself was just ok-tasting. Will probably try the burger next time. Place looks great, lots of wood and metal decor - my vibe!

    braised bacon tacos + eggs benedict

    Awesome to see Sage Leaf extend out into the Reno area! My boyfriend and I dined in the Lake Tahoe location before and enjoyed our experience there. A friend and I dined at this location for lunch. It's located in the heart of midtown - so parking can be a little challenging during busy hours, though there are lots of parking available around the area. The ambiance is gorgeous and there's a large amount of seating inside, outside and at the bar. Not to mention, the bathroom is also really nice. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. My friend and I ordered the braised bacon tacos and an eggs benedict. You can tell everything was made from the freshest ingredients - the quality of their food is excellent! I recommend checking out this place whether its for lunch or dinner or with a small or big party, there's something on the menu for everyone!

    Excellent food at Sage Leaf Reno. Glad they opened a different location aside from Incline Village. We ordered the applewood smoked bacon and veggie taco set that was huge amd absolutely amazing! Also, we had to try 2 Lunch Trios-pork ban mi, watermelon heirloom tomato salad and mixed greens +pork ban mi, mixed greens, and tomato bisque. Great flavors and large portions. Nice ambiance as well. We heard that dinner is wonderful too.

    Solid addition to midtown! They did a beautiful job with the remodel, it feels very upscale yet comfortable. Our waiter was so amazing too, she came in with some fabulous recommendations and took great care of us! My husband really liked his Marinated and Gilled Chicken Thighs Bowl and my Eggs Benedict had excellent flavor, although the eggs were overcooked. We split their dessert special after and it was a treat! Hope they bring it back again!

    Lamb burger
    Gabbi F.

    I was super excited to try this spot with a friend for a girl's dinner, but honestly left a little disappointed! Parking is abysmal, but that's the Midtown experience, baby! The patio and interior are super swanky and well decorated. The hostesses were super nice and accommodating when we arrived a little early for our reservation. We started with cocktails, which sit around a $15 price point. I ordered the tequila based drink, spirit of sage. It didn't come with a straw so I really didn't taste the tequila and grapefruit until the end. My friend ordered the incline i.v. and it was DELICIOUS! The nutmeg really works in it. We split the flat iron steak bruschetta, which was yummy but difficult to eat with the super crunchy baguette and steak that you have to tear with your teeth while balancing all the toppings on it still. It did only come with 3 pieces. For entrees, I ordered the lamb burger and upgraded to duck fat fries and my friend ordered the beef short rib. My burger was good, I love a soft brioche bun and the kalamata aioli added a nice unexpected flavor. I'm not sure I tasted the appeal of the duck fat upgrade to my fries, just a lot of Old Bay seasoning. The fry aioli dip was Just Okay. With the fry upgrade, my burger added up to about $30, and I can't say it was worth it. For the short rib, we had high expectations at a $40 price. The mashed potatoes, jus, and cipollini onions were FULL of flavor and delicious! And the short rib itself...? Tasted like absolutely nothing. I'm not sure how you can braise short rib in red wine and have it taste like nothing at all except a little too much fat, but my friend and I were both confused. We split the brulee cheesecake with blueberry for dessert. As expected it was on the small side but did have a lot of flavor. The top wasn't really bruleed to have a crunch or snap, but the blueberry compote added a nice texture. Our server was also one of the bartenders, which was great until a group of his friends came in, then we kind of were left hanging. Overall, there were some nice parts, but I didn't see the price justified in how our meals turned out.

    This is a very nice place. They seemed.to jave renovated and made it feel upscale. The food is delicious. If you are super hungry dont go here. This is good at portion control and does not go have carb loaded items. It gets you filled just right to take on the rest of the day They did somehow mess up our order, but corrected it and got the food ojt in a timely manner. They are sweet, but busy. We did have the manager check in as well, ut that could have been due to the order. We did not mind as it was a great atmosphere and the employees are super sweet. I will state not to get a coffee here. It was ok, but they are known more for their specialty food and drinks. We now have to come for dinner, rather than lunch.

    Cheddar biscuits
    Amanda C.

    Had a good diner at Sage leaf! I will say I thought out appetizer (the cheddar biscuits) was the best part of the meal lol. Ambiance is very modern and intimate/romantic, perfect for date night. Service was good, no complaints. My husband and I both had the pastrami burger with different sides. I really enjoyed the duck fat truffle fries but my husband did not. Luckily he really liked his own fries! (Just the regular fries!) I will say I didn't think the burger was all that special, and was a bit too pastrami forward in my opinion, I'd order something else if we went back!

    Jalapeno Hot Sauce (green) & Habanero Hot Sauce (red)
    Belen F.

    Holy moly- Safe Leaf gave this location got a major upscale makeover and it looks absolutely stunning. I love the dark and moody luxury vibe of the place (even the bathrooms were elegant)! Our server Bianca was very warm and kind. She got us started with two of their craft cocktails, the Sage Leaf and the Incline I.V., and an order of the duck fat fries. Their namesake cocktail was light and refreshing while not being overly sweet- if Lake Tahoe had a signature drink, this would be it. The Incline I.V. cocktail was a tropical paradise for me, I love a sweet and creamy drink with vibrant flavor. If you're a fan of pina coladas, you need to try the Inline I.V.! The duck fat fries were every bit as rich and indulgent as one would imagine, they could almost be a meal of their own. My partner ordered the Biscuits & Gravy and they loved how the biscuits were hearty and that the smoked gouda added a rich flavor to the gravy. He would absolutely order this again. I had the Salmon Benedict which was positively lovely. The smoked salmon was silky and mouth-melting, topped with a velvety hollandaise sauce and perfectly poached eggs. The side salad, while simple, was splendid. However they're dressing the salad, it packs a great punch and I'm sure it compliments more than just my salmon benedict!

    Beautiful bar note the hanging lights wow

    Parking is a chocolate mess in this area. The food, service and indoor and outdoor spaces are excellent. We had to try the candied bacon of course. Not a single regret in the group! A bowl of pepper & tomato soup was lunch for one. Two braised bacon tacos was enough to split and tasty. From the brunch section of the menu the Tahoe Blue French toast was excellent. We'd definitely come back. Two notes on the menu threw me just a bit. A soda was $5 with a note that no free refills were available. A bit steep without refills. Extra syrup for the French toast was an extra $2. Now these items have a cost for a restaurant and some diners take advantage of extras but I was still taken aback by this.

    Appetizers (biscuits, pork belly, tuna)
    Lisa L.

    Never been to the Tahoe location but was excited to hear about the new Reno location. The space has really transformed into a beautiful restaurant. We ordered the ahi tuna, biscuits, and pork belly. The pork belly was excellent with the flavor of strawberry to complement the richness. Tuna was good with the wonton chips. Wish we were able to order a third biscuit for our party of 3 as only 2 come in an order. For entrees we split the short rib and duck confit spaghetti. Both dishes were rich but flavorful. We also got a side of duck fat fries, delicious! Dessert we got the brûlée cheesecake which was the perfect finish to the meal. Service was a bit slow but overall we had a good dinner.

    Banh mi sandwich
    Joan L.

    Positives: Absolutely beautiful decor inside and out I mean talk about a cute IG opportunity. It was a little hot so I decided to be inside for lunch although the patio was beautiful! Parking can be a bit of a problem but I just parked around the corner near the apartments. Servers were kind and seated me right away, good music and they recommended the French Toast and Braised Bacon Tacos. I can see this as a cute date spot, weekend girls brunch, or work lunch. They have happy hour and I would love to see a bottomless mimosa here on the weekend and take advantage of their beautiful outdoor patio area. I opted out of both recommendations and instead tried the Soy Glazed Banh Mi sandwich with a side of fries which sounded really good. Fries were a bit cold and the sandwich was ok, plenty of meat but pork tasted bland and a bit too much fat for me. Unfortunately, this dish was a miss for me hence my score and I will update my review once I try it again.

From the…read moremoment you walk in, the space sets the tone with a modern industrial design, warm wood accents, soft lighting, and an open, airy layout that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. The long tables lined with bottles feel almost like a curated gallery, and the garage-style doors let in natural light that makes the whole place feel alive without being loud or overwhelming. What really stands out is how intentional everything feels, especially the wine list. It is handwritten on a large chalkboard, which gives it a relaxed, neighborhood vibe, but the selection is thoughtful and globally inspired. You will find a mix of Old World staples and boutique producers alongside well-chosen California options. The list includes everything from crisp Picpoul and Bordeaux Blanc blends to approachable Pinot Noir, Malbec, and Cabernet Sauvignon, along with more unique offerings like Loire Valley blends and Spanish varietals that show they are not just playing it safe. The pricing is another highlight. Most glasses land in the $9 to $15 range, which feels more than fair for the quality. They even offer a carafe option, about two and a half glasses, which is perfect for sharing and encourages you to settle in and enjoy the experience rather than rush through it. The atmosphere is exactly what you want in a wine bar. It is relaxed, conversational, and effortlessly refined. It is the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, go on a date, or simply unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. What truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Kate. She went above and beyond in every way. She was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the wines, and genuinely warm in her approach. She made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at the right moments, and created an experience that felt personal rather than transactional. It is clear she cares about what she does, and it made a great environment feel even better. Black Rock Wine Co is not trying too hard, and that is exactly why it works. It is curated, welcoming, and just the right level of elevated. We will absolutely be back.

I've been excited to start making my rounds in the Reno/Tahoe/Truckee areas and let me tell you, I started off strong! I was able to book a reservation when I Googled the tasting room. I wasn't sure I needed one so I made just to be on the safe side. Our reservation was on Saturday before Memorial day weekend so I wasn't sure how busy it would be. Our reservation was for 4:30 and we would would been okay without one. I booked a window view which gives you a nice view facing 4th street and beyond. There are so many seating options and you can't tell from the outside but there's definitely plenty of room! It looked like they have some outdoor seating as well! All three of us ordered a tasting flight and eat all shared a charcuterie board and a lobster roll. My flight was the Pinot Noir and I was very impressed! Each one was better than the last! The charcuterie board was amazing and something I'd definitely order again. The filling of the lobster roll was good but I wasn't a fan of the bread. Our server was prompt, personable, and so sweet, we enjoyed her very much! I love the different seating options and that you can look around at all the wines they have within the building. Our first experience was wonderful and I can't wait to return to try more flights and menu items. I feel this is such a nice place to celebrate, relax or enjoy a date night. Things to note: Reservations recommended in the afternoons on weekends. Kitchen doesn't open until 4:00
