Why did we dine here? – Sage is in the Aria Hotel and has 4 stars on Yelp. We were seeing Cirque du Soleil Zarkana in this Hotel, so that is why we dined here. The show was good but seemed like a mash up of the usual Cirque stunts, go to the Beatles or Michael Jackson one instead.

We have also dined at Bar Masa, Julian Serrano.

Insider Tip – Expensive restaurant, so order carefully and look for a $89 tasting menu promotion.

Sage Las Vegas interior decor

Cuisine – New American
Location – Aria Hotel, City Center, Las Vegas
Opened – 2009

Service – Sage had very good service. A knowledgeable waiter and lots of help kept everything flowing.
Verdict – Sage disappointed us. A quick light meal was still $50 a person. The room is absolutely beautiful, but the food is expensive and heavy handed. Come for a cocktail and some tartare!

Folks coming from regions that lack top tier restaurants will probably like it better. We spent far less eating at the new restaurant Octavia in San Francisco and enjoyed the food far more.

Is this restaurant worth a 5 minute drive? Yes. 30 minute? No. 1 Hour? No.

Sage Signature Dishes – Rabbit, Beef Tartar, Scallops

Sage’s Menu is fairly encompassing. Lots of different options that cross many areas. Lots of vegatarian options.

Sage Food Picks:

Sage Las Vegas Wagyu Beef Tartare

Wagyu Beef Tartare ($20) Crushed Caper Aioli/slow-Poached Egg/pickled Mustard Seeds/crispy Chocolate was one of the better dishes of the evening. Decadent starter perfect for Vegas.

Sage Las Vegas Salted Roasted beets

Salt Roasted Beets ($19) Heirloom Carrots/manchego Cheese Crumbs/coriander Yogurt was not exactly a large salad. Nice looking artsy dish.

Sage Las Vegas Ricotta Gnocchi pasta

Ricotta Gnocchi ($39) Marcona Almonds/lemon Coriander Cream/fennel/crispy Pig Tail was house made and decent. The pig tail was the best part.

Sage Las Vegas chocolate napoleon

Napoleon Vegan Dessert ($14) was reasonable. Good for chocolate lovers with a dense cake and some fruit sorbet.

Sage Las Vegas absinthe cart

Grande Absente, France ($30) was worth it for the preparation alone.

OK: (Order if you like this dish)

Sage Las Vegas grilled Spanish octopus

Grilled Spanish Octopus ($22) Bloomsdale Spinach/chorizo Aioli /marcona Almond Romesco was just ok. Ristorante Milano in San Francisco served up a fantastic version of this dish a week before our visit.

Sage Las Vegas durham ranch rabbit

Durham Ranch Rabbit ($45) Confit Shoulder/braised Leg/romano Bean/anson Mills Polenta was a signature dish. Beautiful preparation but a little too robust on the flavors. Not very delicate.

Pans: (We would not reorder these dishes)
None
