Reviews of Sage Restaurant
D. C.Absolutely amazing food and service. Really enjoyed the crudo and lobster risotto. Was also friendly to children. Will definitely be coming back.
J. H.WOW and that’s just the beginning. What a spectacular restaurant, magnificent views, sensational food and THE best host. Esther
We started the chefs suggestion of salmon and avocado and the oysters and then had the Crayfish Risotto and Kingfish Crudo
It’s nice to see someone actually using the name crayfish instead of trying to upmarket it as Lobster!
Oysters big and tasty with the raspberry vinaigrette
The Risotto. I cannot begin to tell you how good it is. Made with a home made bisque and LOTS of crayfish pieces. It is sublime. I can’t remember ever having one as good!
My partner had the Kingfish and it was equally as impressive as the Risotto
We tried the “new desert “ Banana with chocolate
Although the description sounds like an everyday dessert , trust me it’s not. Another must try.
Our host for the evening ,Esther, was brilliant
Can’t wait to go back again next time we are in NZ
T. A. H.Absolutely loved our lunch here. Everything was perfect, all our meals were delicious, great service and lovely wines. We used the shuttle service in and out of town, which was very handy. Looking forward to returning!
E. V.View was amazing. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The food was magnificent! Cannot speak highly enough... thank you for a wonderful experience! The Rib eye with bone marrow bearnaise was so exquisite! 👌🏻
A. K.PHENOMENAL experience. From the ambiance to the service to the meal… a night to remember.
B. M.It was an amazing experience. The food was first class and the service matched the quality of the food. The setting is also stunning 😍
R. V.Amazing place! The staff was super friendly, and the food was really delicious. My favorite plate was the oysters 😌
W. C.Best steak we’ve had in our life! The starters and sides were also incredible, along with the friendly staff! Would 100% recommend.
C. W. P.Sage was one of our favorite dining experiences in New Zealand. Located just outside Russell, their shuttle service made it easy to reach, whether from downtown Russell or—like us—by boat with a pickup and return from Paroa Bay. The stunning views of the bay added to the uniqueness of the experience.
Our server’s wine recommendations were spot-on—we loved the bubbly paired with our appetizers and the red wine that complemented the main course perfectly. This spot came highly recommended, and I can confidently say it’s a must-visit for anyone in the area!
J. W.We recently visited Sage and were thoroughly impressed by the spectacular views, outstanding service, and delicious wines. The staff, especially our waitress Siân, went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Siân not only shuttled us to the winery but also provided attentive and helpful service, making excellent recommendations. Her delightful presence truly enhanced our visit. The breathtaking view, paired with impeccable food, made it an unforgettable and fantastic experience. Highly recommend!
L. B.Fabulous evening at Sage. Food outstanding. we had raw fish tartar and rib eye steak. Yorkshire pudding. white asparagus. All beautiful. location amazing. Benjamin and Esther were fabulous and very welcoming. Thank you so much.
B. S.Sage was absolutely lovely! The free shuttle is very helpful and easy to coordinate if you don’t have a car in Russell, and the meal and views were amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area — thank you so much to Sian, Sebastian, and Esther for all their help in making my experience so great!!
F. M.Absolutely fabulous from start to finish with the best dining experience in the Bay of Islands. Service was faultless and the food a culinary experience 👍👍 The crayfish risotto paired with their 2019 Chardonnay and the stout gelato were the highlights!
L. M.Only place to go when in Russell Porua Bay... May need to book in advance...Worth every moment...Food fantastic..Chef has eye for details..Tastes are top notch and wines are fab too...Million dollar views... It's a must do
J. K.Wow, if you want a real beautiful fine dining experience with wait staff that are professional, attentive and thorough, this is the place. Such beautiful views, lovely wine and one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while.
And the fact you have a Vegan option is even better.
Definetly worth it.
A++
B. C.Perfect.
The view over the vineyard and bays was exquisite. The building and decor wonderful - just blended into the environment. The service was impeccable - friendly, knowledgeable, aware but not intrusive. The food was excellent - fresh, delicious, well presented.
Our best meal in the Bay of Islands.
J. P.The stunning view is only exceeded by the most delicious of foods, and well matched wines. Truly a delightful location to enjoy local produce, prepared to perfection. Take the time to enjoy it! And you might even get to see a moho pereru (Banded Rail) on the deck.
K. M.My fiancé & I enjoyed an amazing degustation meal here today. All the food was spectacular, including the views. Their Chardonnay and Espresso Martini both worth a mention too.
My highlight was the local oysters and snapper.
A big thank you to the lovely chap who looked after us, fantastic service!
R. C.Everything was great!
Brilliant service, delucious food, and great views.
The live music contributed to the experience.
Plenty of options for gf too.
Thanks team.
J. M.Relaxing dining alfresco with incredible north facing views over the Bay of Islands. Experienced wait staff a pleasure and the food exceptional! We had crayfish risotto, duck breast and passionfruit/kiwifruit cream for dessert. Hight recommended for your enjoyment 😉
H. D.Had a gorgeous dinner here last night. Beautiful food, meat cooked to perfection. A lovely waiter, and a beautiful winery setting.
C. V.Fantastic lunch and superb wine. The staff were really friendly and knowledgeable both about our food and wine. We can’t wait to come back.
R. T. D. C.We recently celebrated the year with our staff at Sage Restaurant and were all astonished with the food, drinks, service and view of the islands. We were picked up from the passenger ferry in Russell by the Sage Van and dropped back off after we finished lunch. Incredible service! Could not recommend enough. We will all definitely be back!
D. M.Exceptional location and Restaurant decor. Lovely drive from the Opua ferry.
Arrived just before dusk and enjoyed a great view of the profile of the Island and mainland landscape against the sunset.
Never really seen a menu with such variety. This is real class and lived up to its TV profile on Luxury Lodges.
We had entrées of sourdough with White Prawns from Queensland and Pork Dumplings and a really nice hot soup.
I had 12 hour cooked lamb ribs with dukkah coating and Sharlie had Nelson Salmon. Pinot Gris and Maude Pinot Noir went down very well. Price of meal was quite surprisingly reasonable. Highly recommended.
J. M.Fantastic location overlooking Russell in the Bay of Islands. Excellent food and service
Definitely worth a visit for a special meal
D. M.Good food and great service. The wine was superb and presentation of the dishes very good.
J. T.Went for a tasting, beautiful setting between service. Service lacked but one waiter made sure we were ok. Management seemed irritated we were there between settings.
R. (. R.Excellent daytime backdrop for a meal. Had the crayfish risotto for main and it didn't sit that well - would skip that meal. Staff were friendly and very accommodating, blankets available for outside seating
O. M.Great menu and a beautiful Bay of Islands setting. We enjoyed a fantastic late lunch with Charlie our small dog accompanying us. Staff could do with some training on mask wearing which was the only negative. Left with a couple of bottles of the excellent Chardonnay from the winery
L. J.Yes, this is great fine dining, but we liked Terra in Paihia more, as there were just more flavors and combinations going on. We were staying in Paihia, so it was an adventure to get here, especially when weather is bad and the ferry isn't running. The wine pairings were really nice and service was friendly and attentive.
J. A. S.Remarkable atmosphere.....
The staff are very acquainted.
Premier position with spectacular views.
The food was impressive..
I. D.What an awesome restaurant. Totally recommend. Fantastic food n fabulous friendly, helpful staff.
A. S.Very nice location. We had a quick coffee, since it was fully booked.
C.Outstanding food, stunning location and lovely staff! Absolutely loved - will 100% be back!
C. B.Fantastic venue and beautiful food
J. C.Great staff, super friendly service, excellent food and wine. I loved the oaked Chardonnay. Just make sure to take the Ferry over to Russell and drive from there, don’t drive the long route in the dark like we did 😅
t. n.A food experience and a wonderful treat! Started with a puaua fritter and for mains had the crayfish risotto.
A. H.Always a pleasure to visit sage.
The wine is yum, the venue has a stunning view, the food epic and the staff are very attentive!
It's also super handy they have a free pick up from the ferry, so there's no need to drive!
A. K.A wonderful dining experience. Everything here is excellent. Views, food and wine.
