Wild Sage Kitchen & Bar Regina

The place was clean. The restroom is outside the restaurant. You will have to go down the hotel hallway. The food was good and the waitstaff was friendly and quick. We didn't wait long for food.

Delicious food that was also reasonably priced for the quality. The service was noteably excellent.

I recommend making a reservation as the types of seating arrangements are varied, and if you have a larger group of people you might have to wait otherwise.

The smoked beet salad with a smoked brisket add-on was so good, and I'd definitely come back here to try more dishes.

Amazing food and service. Thank you to my server Zeneta and the chef. Bless you guys

Had the house made Beet Borscht soup and sweet potato fries, hubby had Fish and Fries, overall bright atmosphere!
Swirly carpet pattern made walking difficult for my friend and I (+65 years)who both wear bi focals.
We were the only patrons in the dining room at 12:45 lunch.
Server did a good job...Food was not anything special.
Frozen fish/ fries and soup was bland and not Hot...description said it contains, smoked beef, carrots beets and potatoes...mine was mostly potatoes and some beets and watered down broth.
I can't understand why places can't make good Home made Fries instead of short cuts like this.
Overall a forgetful experience...

Wanted to try apple coleslaw

Late review. Went here for a late night dinner for valentines day we were so hungry we just wanted to grab a quick meal. We tried calling our server multiple times but when we got eye contact with him he just shuts us and say “i’m busy right now” not being racist but this indian guy is so unprofessional. You deserve a 1 star.

I was a guest at he hotel and I ordered delivery. I got the Saskatoon smokehouse burger with a side of fries. Great flavor and nice and juicy. The fries were nicely seasoned. House made pickle was amazing. Highly recommend

The Wild Sage presents itself as modestly chique dinning, but its execution is lacklustre and leaves a lot wanting more.

This is a restaurant capable of 3 or 4 star service. The staff has always been pleasant and helpful, the atmosphere is fine, the dining room is fairly clean. The ingredients are fresh, even in the middle of winter.

However, wild sage parades around as a “smokehouse” and while presenting what appears to be exciting options, expect store bought sauce on your salad, pre shredded cheese, a wild attempt to achieve the desired finish on steak.

The kitchen lacks inspiration, and tries to oversell itself for what it is. The reality is this restaurant has the potential to deliver an excellent “pub and grub” with perhaps a twist on the classics.

Drop the smokehouse. I’ve been coming here for years, it’s not the “speciality”, it’s the defacto standard.

It’s convenient, well designed, and has all the hallmarks of a decent culinary experience. Drop the pretentious front; RE: the attached photo is NOT prime rib ($42). You cannot masquerade margarine as butter in the mashed potatoes. Reheated “smoked” meat is unacceptable.

The wild sage has fine ingredients, but has far more potential than what you’ll receive.

Simplify the food, execute the small things well, and I hope the next time I visit, I can improve this review.

2 years on, I am Wild(ly) disappointed. Do better, Hilton!

I'm kinda surprised to be writing this review, but I was so impressed with the meal I had at Wild Sage that I feel compelled to say something.

Borscht -- they nailed it. I know it's not a huge favourite for most people, but if you appreciate borscht for the amazing soup it can be, this is worth trying. They use smoked beets, which gives it a unique savoriness. Huge portion, too.

Portobello Cobb salad w/ smoked chicken thigh -- best Cobb I've ever had. The portobello and chicken were both smoked to perfection and just exploding with flavour, balanced perfectly by the tomatoes and shallots. I wolfed it down like I was high. Towards the end it started to feel like there was maybe a little too much dressing and/or feta, but my palate may have just been exhausted.

Brisket beef dip -- perfect. Again, the smoke was the difference-maker here, giving the sandwich way more character than your typical beef dip. Great au jus for dipping, and what tasted like horseradish on the bun to keep everything lively.

Last Mountain Whiskey neat -- Delish. I was skeptical -- you don't often get good liquor for $7 a shot -- but the waitress assured us the price is due to it being local (Lumsden) and not because it's shitty. It was so good. No harsh booziness, just a perfectly balanced earthiness followed by a hint of spice and fume. I'll be buying a bottle of this stuff.

I rarely leave such wordy reviews, but this was a dynamite meal in a surprisingly classy setting topped off with some truly excellent service. I'll be back.

Service was the main redeeming factor but the Thanksgiving buffet at $38 was very disappointing. This should have been an opportunity for Wild Sage to impress new guests who normally don’t come here, but they really failed flat.

There was a carving station set up for the ham but yet the Turkey came out pre-sliced on the buffet line. Why?? The presentation was awful. The perogies were undercooked and were still hard/floury on the bottom. Cabbage rolls had nearly no beef in them. The stuffing was clearly boxed and they couldn’t be bothered to even add any vegetables or other ingredients to it, it was just mush. The gravy was not even real gravy, it didn’t have any oil in it… seemed like powdered mix or a thickened chicken stock, and it was completely watered down. The cheese/meat/salad station was sad, looked like leftovers from brunch buffet and they only put out a minimal amount of everything. Cakes were clearly brought in pre-made and the fruit was sliced so thin. There was no mashed potato/rice/pasta as a main carb to have with the Turkey and gravy.

Overall there was very clear cost cutting in the menu. The whole buffet looked very bare with no decoration. The servers were very kind but with no improvements to the food I would absolutely not return.

Went for thanksgiving buffet. Not a huge selection, but what was there was top notch. Ate at the bar, staff was attentive, polite, efficient. Over all enjoyed the meal immensely, and had the bonus of being able to watch the game!

First of all, the pizza and Caesar salad were very good.
The gravy was like water, and I ordered a garlic lemon pasta with cheese on it. There was absolutely no garlic, lemon or cheese, just chili flakes, and it was inferno hot, my mouth is still burning an hour later, not what I ordered at all. This was a main dish, and the portion size was very small, more like a side dish.

Went to dinner and ordered a sandwich. Menu stated that premium sides at $4 each. So when I went to get 2 premium sides with the basic fries for $8 it was going to be $14. They explain that you can upgrade to a premium side for $4 more. I don’t know why it is written where you are lead to believe that you can get a few extra premium sides for $4 each!

“You get what you pay for”. But even CAD$20 feels too much for this.

On arrival there is zero information about the cost of the breakfast, and no one to greet you to tell you. “Seat yourself”. I did, and then got up again to work out how to speak to a human.

The buffet, I clarified, was $20. How could I go wrong? Well…

I watched a couple of omelettes come out and they were like the one I had: lacking any shape or form, the dull grey-yellow of pre-made egg mixture from a bottle. Tasteless.

The sausages are unremarkable and achieve the distinction of having as little texture as they do taste. The potatoes (which somehow contain gluten) are dry and chalky as if they’re a reheat from the previous day.

The four varieties of cheese all taste the same. Quite remarkable in its own way.

The pastries haven’t seen a baker in their short - or maybe quite long - lives. Sawdust croissants and even the Danish is dry - and that’s hard to pull off.

The only redeeming feature is that when the staff do serve you they’re delightful and keep your cup topped up with insipid coffee that would struggle to resuscitate a houseplant.

Breakfast buffet is $22 a person for a continental breakfast at best. The “hot” items aren’t hot. The pancakes tasted weird and only syrup for a topping. I spit the omelette out as soon as I bit into it because it also tasted off. It tasted like they accidentally put chemical or cleaning supplies in it or something. The dessert was only 3 choices and the danishes were old and hard. It was HOT inside. I was dripping in sweat. I don’t know how they’re allowed to stay open. Good luck
