We stopped by Sage Leaf for a quick dinner on a Saturday Night. Great service (thanks, Zoe!), quick kitchen and really good food. We got the pork chop and chicken thigh bowl - both were really good, though the pork chop was the winner! Recommend for a dinner - excited to come back and try brunch. read more

My friend and I went here after a Arttown pressed floral card event. We had reservations for 7 but got there around 6:15 and they were able to seat us immediately. Food and drinks were both presented beautifully and they were also super tasty. We had the Flat Iron Steak Bruschetta as a starter, Red Wine Braised Bone-in Beef Short Rib which was super tender and fell off the bone, as well as the Niman Ranch Lamb Burger with Hand-Cut Duck Fat Fried Steak Fries For dessert we had the Brûléed Cheesecake which had a Graham Cracker Crust, Warm Blueberry Compote, Sage & Lemon Curd read more

Had brunch here and their bacon Eggs Benedict with chipotle hollandaise was really good. Love the ambience with the patio and spacious inside dining. Service was ok, server did not check back but was very cheerful and nice. Only complaint and reason for probably hesitant to come back is they charge $6 to split dishes. My husband and I always split given our appetite and we hate wasting food. We have dined in some establishments who even offered to split dishes free of charge. read more

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. read more

After just discovering that this is a new restaurant, formally, laughing planet, my friend and I went here for dinner. The interior is beautiful, weather a date night or casual meet up, it could cover a lot of occasions. Service was attentive and friendly, our server gave great recommendations! I had the salmon with pea purée and roasted tiny sweet bell peppers, it was delicious! My friend had the chicken thigh sandwich on sourdough which she said was amazing! They have a full bar and indoor and outdoor seating. Would definitely return! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This may be one of my new favorite restaurants in Reno! Everything was amazing from the food to the ambiance to the service. It had cute outdoor seating and a nice interior as well. The drinks we had were phenomenal. I was absolutely obsessed with the burrata appetizer, it may have been one of my favorite burrata dishes I've ever had. The jam with it was amazing! The beef short rib was also so great, I especially loved the truffle mashed potatoes. I am excited to come back and try more dishes! read more

One of my girlfriends and I came here on a Friday night for dinner. We did not have reservations and for two people at a table, it was about a 45 min wait. However, we just put our phone numbers down and they were able to text us when the table was ready. I would say this is a great spot if you want to try new foods and unique combinations you have never tried before. The menu for dinner is a little pricey, but it's a great option for date night! We tried their featured limoncello cocktail which we both loved for how warm the weather was. We shared the butter board. Why don't more places have a butter board? Fantastic idea. I ordered the short rib it and it was cooked to perfection. I honestly would come back to this restaurant just to eat this again. My girlfriend got the duck pasta and we were a little disappointed. It is a pasta that is served cold which felt strange with the duck. However, it was cooked well and still had a very nice presentation. read more

Compliments to the chef!! We came to try the dinner menu this time, which begins at 5pm. If you arrive sooner you can sit at the bar to wait for dinner service to begin and order from a limited menu. We chose to have drinks and wait, both our meal and our server were exceptional! I got their spaghetti con anatra but added a side of their oyster and trumpet mushrooms to it. This was such a great choice!! I enjoyed every bite:) My hubs got their pastrami burger with duck fat fries, the burger was cooked to perfection, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a top-tier meal. read more

Alex Sage. It took me a couple of tries to get into it but most of the things I've had here arranged from good to very good. I'm a fan of the corn beef brisket hash which has overall been very good . I'v also liked the burger and the biscuits and gravy . The burger bun has a logo burned into the top bun which is pretty cool. The fries are a small portion, but they are legit. You can upgrade to the duck fat fries. It ca be hard to get outside seating unless you make a reservation. Service also ranges from good to very good. Parking can be a challenging. Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

Newer to the Midtown area as a couple of months ago! I made reservations given that it's new and I wasn't sure how busy it would be, especially with it being a holiday weekend. We made reservations for 1:00 pm but it did seem like we would have been okay if we didn't make them. Menus and water were brought over very quickly. Two members of our party ordered cocktails which did take some time to come out, but they were delicious! Food came out in a great amount time and everything looked amazing! I ordered the burger and subbed the duck fat fries. The burger was cooked perfectly and the addition of the fried egg was so good! I liked dipping the burger in the egg yolk. The bun had the restaurant name kind of branded into the bun which was a cool touch! The fries were so good! Kind of crunchy and the garlic aioli was phenomenal! Our waitress Bianca was very attentive and very nice. We asked for a straw for one of the cocktails and she brought it back, holding it with a napkin which I really appreciated! The interior is really pretty and super fun for a girls brunch or a sweet date night. They have front and back patio seating which I would love to try when it's not so hot. Beautiful interior and great food! read more

We recently had dinner here and were excited to try a new spot in Reno. We were pleasantly surprised that we were able to book a table just a few hours ahead on a weekend, which was a nice start to the evening. The cocktail I ordered was pre-batched, so the sweetness couldn't really be adjusted without changing the integrity of the drink. That seems to be a growing trend around Reno lately with batched cocktails. House Made Organic Sage & Cheddar Biscuits were absolutely amazing, easily one of the highlights of the meal. Beet & Strawberry Salad was refreshing and light, though the candied walnuts that normally come with it were accidentally left off and had to be brought out separately after we mentioned it. Basil Pesto Conchiglie Pasta was a bit underwhelming. It lacked the bold pesto flavor I were expecting and the balsamic glaze on top was an interesting choice that didn't quite work for us. Citrus Brined Bone-In Niman Ranch Pork Chop, on the other hand, was delicious and full of flavor. The spaetzle paired especially well with the dish. We also ordered the Hand-Cut Duck Fat Fried Steak Fries, which were great with the truffle aioli. That said, a handful of the fries were over-fried or included dark/sprouted potato end pieces that weren't particularly enjoyable to eat. Parking ended up being easy enough, we found a spot just around the corner since there wasn't much available directly by the restaurant. Overall, we would come back for the food. Unfortunately, the service fell short of the experience we were hoping for. Once the entrees were delivered, our server never checked back in. Dessert menus were handed out without any interaction and when the check was returned there wasn't even a simple thank you or have a great evening. The service overall just felt inattentive and lacking warmth. read more

Great recommendation from my buddy! A home run! Quality/Quantity - Both my buddy and I spent a lot of time in Incline where this restaurant is from. So he suggested that we visit this new location. Simple menu done well, I mean VERY well! Slightly different menu from their Incline location. See their websites. Actually the menu is slightly different from their website. Green Bean Frites - Our starter, fresh green beans that were freshly and perfectly fried. I can eat a few more of these... Sage & Walnut Pesto Conchiglie Pasta - My buddy's dish. I was worried that it was too small, but as light eaters, it was actually the perfect quantity for him. Oh, if you are following, you also know that we drink more than we eat. I mean drink WAY more than we eat, lol. Pork Chop - Generous portions, especially for a light eater like myself. BUT I did not really eat lunch today, so I knew I was going to finish this delicious meal! So good, from the chop to the sweet potatoes and greens. I am going to take my wife and daughter here, one of these days. Happy hour was also available, but my buddy was too lazy to leave Zephyr Wine Bar, lol. But you know that because you are following. Decent drink menu, see pictures. Full bar available. Ambiance - Beautiful new location. I think the outdoor spaces are still a work-in-progress. With summer around the corner, I see that you got new patio chairs for your rear outdoor space. Indoor and outdoor seating. Table and bar seating. Beautiful new decor, see pictures. VERY limited parking, a very small lot. Although there are many street parking spaces, we came during prime dinner time so we had to park two blocks away. Good thing I like to walk. Service - Good. No reservations, but they were able to seat us immediately. Price - Expensive, but really reasonable for the quality of food. $107 + tip. FYI - A split plate charge of $6, parties of 6 or more has an automatic 22% tip, 2 credit card maximum, etc. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 2020 and now this second new location. How did you end up opening both restaurants on Tahoe Street?!?! read more

Enjoyed trying Sage Leaf after recommendations from a few friends! Did not disappoint at all. 3 out of 4 at our table had the burger, one with the duck confit fries and one had a pecan salad. We went on a Sunday which they offered half off bottle wine that they also have a house Sommelier! Ask for them, he recommended a bottle within our price range that we all would like and it complemented our meal. The entire renovation from Laughing Planet is unrecognizable but ambience is low light, intimate and modern. I heard the happy hour (offered Monday - Thursday 3-5?) is great so that'll be another one for my partner and I to try to be able to taste more of their menu. read more

My first experience here- lovely I walked in at brunch hour with my 3 year old and was a little nervous that it wasn't going to be a kid friendly place (because it's so classy and all the business people were there for lunch)... but they offered a high chair, crayons, and a coloring page. Those little things matter. Nice crayons too not the cheap ones. My friend recommended the vegan hash- it was absolutely delicious!! I'll be back for that because I can't stop thinking about it. So many layers to it and lots of thought put into it! We also had the sage biscuit- I could have eaten 3 more of those. Love the ambiance and the friendly quick service. read more

Love it when a great restaurant locates to a spot that is walking distance from home. I think the new location on the north end of mid-town is perfect. It is hidden away on Tahoe Street - a little bend in the road between Forest and Virginia. There is parking available with a few designated spots in front of the entrance. Upon entering, we were greeted and shown to a booth. The only down side is it is pretty noisy and it was quite busy on a Thursday night. Being against the wall helped a bit. The service was excellent. Bianca was attentive and checked in on our satisfaction. The bus boy was diligent about filling our water and removing our plates. My husband ordered the Prime NY Steak with fries. I had the Pesto Conchiglie Pasta. Our companions had the Red Wine Braised Bone-in Beef Short Rib (tried a bite it was melt-in your-mouth tender) and The Burger - deemed really good! We ordered desserts to share - Dark Chocolate Marquise Mousse Cake and Brûléed Cheesecake. Definitely worth a return visit. I am glad we made a reservation as it seems to be the new Hot Spot in Midtown. read more

I came back for Brunch on Easter Sunday. Luckily, we arrived before the rush, but when we were leaving there were several parties waiting for a table. They were really busy, but the service did not suffer, everything was great! It was a beautiful morning, so we sat outside on the Patio. It was very nice, but I did miss the Music playing on the background from last time (it's one of the things I loved my first time here). I had the Buttermilk Banana Pancakes. They reminded me of Banana Bread, but very much the texture of perfectly light and fluffy pancakes. The toppings were also yummy, especially the Maple Peanut Butter Syrup. My daughter had the Strawberry Pancakes (not pictured). It was an Easter Special and not on the regular menu, but she absolutely loved them. I've been here twice since they opened and so far I have nothing but great things to say about the service and food here at Sage Leaf. Can't wait to come again! read more

OMG! A neighbor took me out for breakfast for my birthday today since we're going to be out of town on my birthday. We decided to try Sage Leaf. It's where the old Laughing Planet was on Tahoe St. in Midtown. It was FANTASTIC! They did a beautiful remodel (even the bathrooms are beautiful. The food and service was amazing. We sat on the patio because the weather was so beautiful. I had the Carnitas Huevos Rancheros. Probably the best Huevos Rancheros I've had in Reno.

I had Sage Leaf bookmarked on my Yelp account for about a week, really eager to try out the new location on Tahoe Street after learning about the owner's success in Incline Village. Where the previously operated Laughing Planet was located on Tahoe St, Sage Leaf is an elevated New American restaurant featuring outside patio, table and bar seating. We arrived on Sunday at 11am and while it was busy, we were able to be seated quickly near the entrance from the bar to the patio. We started off with a round of cocktails, the Bloody Mary is garnished with the typical celery stick, and green olive, but also with a lime wedge and a piece of their house made candied thick cut bacon - YUM. I noticed they make a lot of items in house - whether it's the fruit juices for your Mimosas or hot sauces on the table. I had the Bacon Tacos, and my partner had the Biscuits and Gravy. The bacon at this restaurant is amazing, thick cut similar to pork belly and buttery soft. I have never had anything like it. The tacos themselves are bigger than I anticipated, two floor tortillas that they fill up well. I tried a bite from the Biscuits and Gravy - which I am not typically a fan of, however Sage Leaf house made sage & cheddar biscuits were incredibly fluffy and soft, pairing so well with the smoked gouda gravy. My partner was envious of my bacon tacos that he ordered a side of bacon to compensate haha, it is seriously that good! Initially, I wanted to try this restaurant for dinner, but I am glad we started with Brunch and were not disappointed. read more

I have a few good and bad things to say about Sage. The atmosphere was very nice, the homemade biscuits for our appetizer were delicious, and the pastrami burger was the highlight of the meal. Unfortunately, my chicken sandwich was missing that wow factor and the inside of the bun was burnt. Our brûlée on top of our cheesecake was burnt to a crisp and tasted like charcoal. I was up-charged for my well whiskey in my old fashioned, adding avocado is $4.00, and changing your fries type and cooking oil is an extra $5.00. Our service was very fast, friendly, and just how I like it. Overall my group agreed it was a great experience but we don't need to return. read more
