“What a pleasant surprise.
Few people come to Tahoe for the food, but Sage Leaf made this meal feel like a destination in itself.
The burrata appetizer was beautifully composed. The citrusy yuzu jam, perfectly toasted bread, savory prosciutto, and creamy Di Stefano burrata all worked in harmony. Every component felt intentional and contributed to the dish without overwhelming the others.
We also loved the Niman Ranch pork chop. The citrus brine kept the meat remarkably tender while giving it a clean, bright flavor. Paired with creamy polenta and perfectly cooked mushrooms, it was both comforting and refined.
The house-made pasta was another highlight. It appears to change with the seasons, and this version showcased a thoughtful selection of vegetables that truly felt like “eating the season.” The combination of balsamic and pesto was unexpectedly delicious—the acidity of the balsamic brought out the richness of the Parmesan beautifully.
What stood out most was the care behind the food. This is clearly a kitchen that cooks with intention and respect for ingredients. Our server, Brandon, was excellent and made us feel that same level of thoughtfulness throughout the meal.
If I could offer one small piece of feedback, it would be that a few dishes seemed to have many ideas competing for attention. A bit more restraint and a clearer focal point might make them even more memorable.
Sage Leaf reminded me that great restaurants don’t just serve food—they capture a moment in the season and put it on a plate.“

“We've been coming to this bistro for many years, typically once or twice a year, and it's always a pleasure to return—especially during the summer. The outdoor patio is one of its biggest draws, and with the area's reliably pleasant weather, it's usually a wonderful place to dine. The food has been consistently good to very good over the years.
On this visit, we ordered the gnocchi with morels (excellent), escargots (very good), the New Zealand rack of lamb (very good and a generous portion), the salmon special (good), and La Grande Dessert (good).
The wine list is extensive and includes many interesting selections. Corkage is $40, and proper wine glassware was provided, which is always appreciated.
Service was friendly and efficient throughout the meal.
Overall, the restaurant continues to offer very good value, although the $40 corkage fee is on the high side.
One small annoyance was the suggested gratuities on the check. The lowest suggested tip was 23%—calculated on the post-tax total—with the other options being 25% and 30%. Those recommendations felt rather ambitious. Fortunately, there was also an option to leave a custom tip, which is what we chose. The service was good and certainly deserved recognition, but we prefer to determine the gratuity ourselves rather than be steered toward unusually high preset percentages.
Overall, this remains one of our favorite neighborhood bistros, and we'll continue to return.“

“First time in... Food was good and the portion was decent. Not very busy and three servers were on. Service was slow I felt and the bartender was less than friendly, charming or outgoing. Maybe they were having an off night, I don't know. I would go back but maybe just for drinks? .“

“We ordered two cauliflower crust pizzas and a salad for pick up. The cauliflower crust was not an option on the online menu so submitted the order verbally via phone. I figured the cauliflower crust would cost more but I almost fell over when picked up the pizza and told it was $71! Really not sure why I didn't just walk out and tell them to stick the pizza. At this crazy price, I expected an exceptional pizza however, it was anything but. First of all, it was NOT cauliflower pizza crust! Second, it was cold and the crust was hard, with very little sauce. Extremely disappointing.... pass on this overpriced garbage!“

“Had food delivered to our room. It was hot and good. The service was great and so was the food. Perfect for the end of a travel day. We had a bacon jalepeno cheeseburger and fries and a blue cheese wedge. Both were great. The bacon lardons on the salad were awesome.“

“We stumbled upon this spot & after a long, tree-topping adventure and it was a lifesaver for the hungry crew!
Glad we'd called in to reserve tables — when we arrived, it was packed with lines out the door. Service was prompt, and the food was yum! Our group went with tom yum soup, tempura, rolls (veg and shrimp), satay (chicken), drunken noodles, red curry and fried rice — most of them hit the mark!
We even snagged extra fried rice with tofu, portions were just right, and prices were reasonable. I'd definitely go back, if I were in the area!“

“Really delicious! Fun choices & good variety. Holly V took excellent care of us & was so kind! We sampled several items but our favorites were the pepper crostini, the halibut, & the gumbo. Oh! The ice cream sandwiches were so good & just the right size for a sweet end to our meal. Definitely would love to come back!“
