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 !
Came here for a quick meet up with a friend. The greeter at the desk was extremely professional. The mood indoors was dim lights and perfect for dinner, however, we chose to sit in their outdoor patio surrounded by beautiful floral. We shared a few smaller plates and loved every single dish! The Burrata Cheese, Spicy Yellow Fin Tuna Tartare, and Beet/Pear Salad were all 10/10. Our server was very friendly and always refilled our water without us having to ask. Such a great spot!
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!
First time in, and Yelp brought me here. Amazing enough I found parking right outside the restaurant. They have a front & back patio and beautiful indoors seating as well. I was greeted immediately & taken to one of the patios which was covered in vines & had lovely ambiance. The tables were set, water & menus. The server introduced herself. I want to say Veronica. She was wonderful. We ordered drinks, bubbles & berries :) yum! The menu was perfect! Just enough choices. I love restaurants that do a few things really well & the food turns out spectacular like this. I had the vegan hash & no I'm not vegan, but the description made me want to try it. I found my favorite breakfast of all time! It was huge & so delicious. My friend has the pastrami and she said it reminded her of a place they went while on vacation & thought they'd never have pastrami that good again. We hadn't seen each other in years & we wanted to take our time, talk & enjoy our brunch & at no time did they rush us. It was a 10/10!!!
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!
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.
Came for happy hour. The space is super cute, there's a limited menu between lunch and dinner. The Bloody Mary was very unique, I didn't personally like it but the other two drinks were delicious.
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.
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!
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!
What a gem of an establishment. It felt like we hopped on a train and ended up somewhere different. Luckily this is in our community. I just loved the personalities of the staff members, our hostess was very sweet and recommended the back area which reminded me of the secret garden. My friend and I decided to do a bunch of small plates and share everything. I had to skip a cocktail as I had just come from a whiskey tasting bag pipe led band but were in search of substanence. Our hostess recommended the items I was eyeballing the home made organic sage and cheddar biscuits, the marinated and grilled shrimp skewers, the blue cheese polenta (wow!) and the beet and strawberry salad. The winner was the shrimp and the polenta. Both were so flavorful and great combination of flavors. I enjoyed the ambiance and next time would love to have enough time to check out the dessert menu. Between the two of us it was $50, not bad at all. Definitely want to come for a brunch one day! read more
Great new addition to the midtown food scene! So glad something great took over the old Laughing Planet space. We came opening night for dinner and the place was vibing with live music and chatty people. Servers were friendly and attentive--but not hovery. They weren't pushy to rush us through our meal, so we got to savor and enjoy everything. Great for a date night. And now I want to go back for brunch! read more

Just had brunch and it was excellent!! I highly recommend checking out this restaurant- large portions great quality with a cute outdoor patio read more
Sage Leaf is one of the cutest and most aesthetically pleasing restaurants in Midtown. I've been here twice already, and both times I ordered the same burger because it's just that good. The bacon on the burger was thick, juicy, and full of flavor. I also really enjoyed their ranch, it has a great taste that pairs perfectly with the food. Their drinks are delicious as well. Overall, it's a great spot with a nice atmosphere, and I'll definitely be back. read more
It's so wild to see how this place transformed from laughing planet to the cool vibe it is now. Delicious pasta and great wine too, and a friend and I split the polenta. So good in fact that I came back for brunch 3 days later with a friend, and enjoyed an omelette and a mimosa! It's a perfect patio spot as the weather warms up! read more
Came to town to visit a friend and enjoyed a girls' night dinner together at Sage Leaf. Beautiful patio seating on a beautiful night. Staff were so friendly and gave great recommendations. The manager came over to introduce himself and make sure everything was perfect for the night. We started with the biscuits which were rich and delicious. My friends enjoyed the chicken thigh sandwich, asparagus and the duck fat fries. I decided on the pesto pasta and it was incredibly delicious. The entire evening was a hit with all of us - would definitely recommend this cute new place. read more
What a wonderful day to start to Wednesday I. starting it at Sage leaf restaurant. Antonio was our waiter and he was excellent. We were there during happy hour so we chose this Niman Ranch burger and fries is the best burger I have had in a long time and on the fun they put their sage leaf branding on top. It was so cool. The place is very well appointed very clean and their cocktails are wonderful. I think we're gonna go back and try it again. Thank you again Antonio for a great adventure in Sage Leaf read more
Located in Reno in February 2025 and we finally made it. Very stylish decor, love the black and steel. We went for the happy hour, 3-5 daily. Antonio was our friendly, welcoming server. The happy hour menu has three items, tartar, steak fries and a burger. We enjoyed vodka tonics with the burger, cooked to order and fries. Delicious, juicy burger, very yummy, meaty fries with three sauces. We were not rushed. The place was filling up as we were leaving around 5:30. There is outside seating on the patio. Love this place and it is now on our list. Thanks Antonio for treating us so well read more

The food and service was great last night. We had the Pesto duck pasta and the Salmon. Both were amazingly delicious. The interior is nice, but the lighting is terrible. Way too bright for a relaxing dinner. Other than that, I love this place. read more

It was pretty busy on a Saturday night. Parking is a nightmare here, but it's midtown. Anyways, we were seated pretty early for our reservation. We were celebrating a birthday. On the reservation, we put it as a birthday, but nobody ever said anything. Anyways, we ordered pork belly for starters. The entrees were the burger, vegan steak, pastrami sandwich, and steak frites. Prices range between $20-$50. We ordered mocktails, Summer Chase and Strawberry Fields, suggested by our server. Strawberry Fields tasted sour, creamy taste, while the Summer Chase tasted mostly just like a 7-Up. Very high prices for mocktails, $10. The entrees came out pretty quick, maybe 15-20 mins. They forgot our starters. I mean, they did apologize, but there is probably no communication between the kitchen and server. Burger came out overcooked, bun was hard (requested medium). Then the steak frites came out overcooked, well done (requested medium). They also used a sauce to cover the burnt steak. If you compare the 1st steak to the 2nd steak, big difference. It came with duck fat fries. It was heavy seasoned with salt and, on top of course, the fat. I wasn't a fan of it. They asked me if I wanted a new steak. I said yes. They made a new one. It was perfectly cooked medium, but they didn't season it!! Vegan steak was very sour. It wasn't anything special. It was just mushrooms. I've seen a lot better vegan steak made. The plating was boring. It looks like a burnt steak under some veggies with 3 asparagus on top with sauce around. It wasn't special for the price. I got to say, the price is pretty high up there, but the quality isn't great. Pastrami sandwich was probably the only thing that was good. The bread was nicely toasted with good amount of pastrami with mustard. The tomato basil looked a bit odd. It was yellow, but there wasn't a lot of flavor, lacked of seasoning. The service was decent, but lack of communication between everyone in the restaurant. I never saw the manager when something wasn't right, but manager ended up comp a mocktail. There was some miscommunication. The server said manager comp steak + mocktail, but actually the manager comp the 1st steak so they could put a new order in to the kitchen. So they re-fire a new steak, but nothing was on the house for the steak. The manager did comp a mocktail, which was nice. It's very small restaurant with indoor and some outdoor sitting. I feel like so much happened, I wouldn't want to come back. read more
I met my friend for dinner here and we had a lovely time. The renovation of the inside from the prior restaurant was tastefully done. The biscuits were amazing and the jelly that accompanied them was to die for!!! Our entrees were both really good, she got the chicken entree and we both agreed that sometimes that can get overlooked, but she said it was amazing. My only complaint is that there is not enough parking for this restaurant so it ended up taking me 15 minutes to find a spot in Midtown and was late to my reservation, which is something in the restaurant obviously can't control, but beware to arrive early to find parking! read more

Back to Sage Leaf to try their dinner menu and it was just as good as brunch! Of course we got the cheddar sage biscuits again and I will get them every visit because they're delicious. For cocktails we had the bubbles and berries and the bees knees-both were wonderful. Dinner was steak bruschetta appetizer (a meal in itself), the short rib dinner and the hamburger. The short ribs were so tender and served with the most delicious sauce. The "Sage Leaf" stamp on the burger bun was so cute and the burger one of the best we've had and I loved the steak bruschetta. The restaurant is beautiful and staff is extremely nice and professional. One of my new favorite Reno restaurants. 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
So normally, I try to stay away from restaurants that have recently opened because they typically have kinks they need to work out before I will try them. After seeing the positive reviews and feeling a little fomo, my mom and I decided to check them out for a Saturday brunch. I made reservations online and we enjoyed such an amazing brunch today! We started with the lavender lemon cello rosemary mimosa, which not only was beautifully presented, but so delicious! We shared the biscuits, French toast, candied bacon and eggs Benedict (veggie), and everything was absolutely perfect! The staff went above and beyond and the indoor and outdoor spaces are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to come back! read more

Over the weekend, food was had at a new location in Midtown Reno. If you haven't tried this place, make time to get in there for lunch, dinner, or breakfast on the weekend. I chose Huevos Rancheros. Holy Moly, this food was absolutely incredible. I said to the server as I was eating, "I'm going to take my time with this meal because it's incredible." Not only was the food amazing but their house made hot sauces and jalapeño infused vodka for their Bloody Mary was also wonderful. The price point for the portion and the quality was spot on. I'll absolutely go back sooner rather than later. read more
I love that Reno can have nice things. The restaurant is on the small side and we stopped by on a Saturday around 12:30. That were packed, which I was glad to see. The hostess was very nice and after a few minutes wait, she was able to seat us. There's a beautiful wisteria patio which I will definitely be visiting when the weather warms up. Our server was very prompt and friendly. They kept our water glasses full and the food came out piping hot. We shared an order of duck fat fries, the best I've ever had; crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and oh, so rich, seasoned with Old Bay and served with a creamy, garlicky aioli. For lunch I had the Cobb salad served with a crisp vinaigrette, delightful. My husband had the chicken sandwich and mushroom soup which he said was very good. We'll be back again for the pastrami sandwich read more

I was SO excited to come try the newest restaurant in town. I had searched their menu online and reviewed the food and cocktail offereings prior to visiting and it made me even MORE excited to try the restaurant. They have a popular restaurant in Incline so it was great to be able to try the new location. Well, after my experience....meh. Dont get me wrong the food was good, but it wasnt great and did not meet the expectation that I had. Maybe my expectation was too much? Too big? I dont know but it definitely wasnt met. We sat in the bar area and having perused the cocktail menu online earlier in the day, I had my heart set on the Vieux Carre'. A classic New Orleans cocktail that you dont see too often. So, when the bartender came over to our table to begin orders and I asked for it, she gave me a look like I was speaking Chinese! I was astonished. She asked what it was and I explained that it was on the website's cocktail menu. She explained that they have things on the website that are not accurate for the current menu. STRIKE NUMBER ONE! (This is a huge pet peeve of mine. Restaurant managers please take note...DONT advertise tings on your website if you dont have/serve them!) I asked her if she could make it anyways. She said "no," she "doesnt have the ingredients." I asked her what she didnt have, and she said, "I dont have Benedictine." I pointed up at the top shelf of the bar and said, "I see it right there!" She responded, "oh." Then she said that she "didn't know the ratios." I offered to give her the recipe, which she accepted and went to make the drink. She made it pretty good. Not bad for a first try, but I think the volumes were a little off. We orderd the tuna tartare which was average. A smaller sized portion that came with fried chips for dipping. Diced tuna on a base of avacoado/guacamole and drizled with truffle oil. I asked about the hot pastrami sandwich and she said it gets real good reviews, so I went ahead and ordered it with the Aioli on the side. It comes on a sub bun, looked about the size of a Jimmy Johns sandwich. Nothing fancy, portion was average at best. Plain jane really. And......of course, the aioli was spread all over the bread. I mentioned this to the server and they replied by saying "sorry." Umm, ok? My dining colleague ordered the short ribs. It was a very busy plate when it cam our. Bone-in short ribs over a plate of bleu cheese mashed potatoes and gravy drizzled all over it. She said it was tasty but the potatoes with the bleu cheese were a bit strong and overpowering. Overall, I will probably come back to see if they can be the place that I think they can. But for now my first experieince overall was quite pedestrian. read more
Saw they opened a new place in the old laughing planet and decided to pop on and try it! Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! We sat out on their patio and enjoyed delicious cocktails! My friend ordered the Vegan skillet and I got the pastrami burger and we both loved our meals! Service was great and he gave the best recommendations of food and cocktails, will definitely be back! read more

Came for their opening day, and other than first day figuring out how to work in a new space everything was great! The staff was friendly and attentive, the space is clean, and cute, and the food was great. I'm excited to see such a great location used for something new. The menu is pretty much what you'd expect from a new American bistro style place. They have weekend brunch, a daily happy hour 3 to 5 pm, and a killer looking dinner menu. We'll be back soon for another meal! read more

Had an amazing experience with my friend. Grabbed a seat at the bar and sat with Mook the bartender. We shared the doughnut holes as an appetizer, as he recommended. Best decision ever, perfect sweet treat before the savory goodness of brunch. I had the sage and cheddar biscuits with gravy.Biscuits were flaky and not too dense, perfect for sopping up your gravy and over easy eggs. My friend had the mushroom scramble, and the mushrooms were the perfect combination with the Brie and sautéed asparagus. This is exactly what Reno has been looking for. I can't wait to enjoy the patio with friends and experience the great service and vibe. Bring your friends and enjoy the neighborhood read more

Sage Leaf values flavor and presentation, both which get 5 stars for me! I went in to try their Lions Mane Steak from their Vegan Chef Challenge menu and was incredibly happy. The lions mane mushroom had an incredible amount of flavor and the sauces were to die for. Great place for a fun date day/night or just to have a drink at the bar. Would highly recommend and hope they keep their incredible vegan options! read more

The food was tasty but maybe a bit pricy for what you get. The restaurant was quiet and on the darker side but that worked out for date night. The inside is done very well but does not capture the overall feeling and culture in midtown. Worth trying at least once. Waitstaff was kind and helped find an alternative for items missing due to inventory although we were only checked on once and read more
