Seafood soup had a lot of stuff inside, most notably large prawns and scallop. The seafood was fresh and really infused its flavours into the soup very well.Steak was small but really juicy and soft. I guess that is to be expected of wagyu grade 9.

One of KL's most stately restaurants, with a distinctive, head-turning look. The open kitchen offers a fine view of dishes being meticulously concocted.

Amuse bouche of scallop mousse with salmon and avocado. Light and delicate. Carpaccio of hiramasa. A superbly oily, splendidly fatty fish. Seafood bouillabaise with saffron pernod and aioli. Nothing wrong with this per se, but nothing particularly memorable about it either. Confit of duck leg with puy lentil and olives. Comfort food for carnivores. Foie gras with grapes & red wine reduction. Can't go wrong with foie gras here.

The thought of a 12-course feast appeared daunting at first, but the portions were pretty light. We began with a trio of Pacific oysters, dressed with konbu jelly, ginger vinaigrette & wasabi vinaigrette. Sublime in their briny, elemental freshness; plump enough to provide pure pleasure with each pop.

Truffle-scented carpaccio of yellowtail with akame & Shizuoka tomatoes. A variation of one of Sage's most beloved specialties. Fresh, fatty fish, with a delicate taste that was nicely balanced by the earthy aroma of truffles.

Pan-fried red emperor fish with Hokkaido scallop & king crab sauce. The fish and scallop were OK but unremarkable; it was the rich, bisque-like sauce that made this memorable. Apparently, this was featured as a Friday lunch item at Cilantro, exactly a week after we had it here.

Two courses of dessert on one platter, since we were pressed for time in the end. Ginger & lime creme brulee, as well as calvados souffle. Could have been more impressive in terms of texture. The creme brulee (which appeared on Sage's weekly lunch menu a fortnight later) had scarcely the semblance of a caramelized crust, while the souffle was one-dimensionally airy.

At Sage, they do not only serve good appetisers and mains. They’re quite innovative in dessert too. I had the Warm Dark Chocolate Fondant with Almond Nougat and Earl Grey Ice Cream when I was here.

It’s normal for anyone to order a big plate of salad as starter. But here at Sage, you could order the Smoked Norwegian Salmon with Julienne Black Truffle Salad. The smoked salmon is just great in texture where it has a slight hint of aromatic smoky flavour and it’s fresh. I personally loved the black truffle salad where it has the right flavours of saltiness and sweetness at the same time.

By reading the name, you’re already known the dish is going to be big. Mind you, it’s not the size of the dish but ingredients used and the flavours that you’re going to savour. True enough, the seabass was fantastic. Smooth silky meat is just wonderful paired with the king crab sauce. You could even taste the freshness and sweetness of the seafood. And the scallop is wonderfully prepared where it exude sweet yet soft meat with a firm outer layer.

Hey all, I had the privilege to drop by Sage KL a while back ago! For start, just look at the size of those big juicy shrimps!! My first visit to the Sage restaurant and wine bar in Gardens Mid Valley was tastefully rewarding!
I literally had food orgasm and it struck my head as I took every little bite of the gorgeous looking food. If you were ever around the vicinity of mid valley city, do drop by and it would certainly make the rest of your day smiling.

The ambience of the restaurant has the elegance that not only burst in your taste buds but as well as matches the whole dining experience. The menu served is as if food is a form of expression of art, a combination of the finest ingredients producing the perfect match of mouth-watering cuisine.


The meal I had was the set lunch meal, which comprises of a 3-course set. The noodles was springy and chewy in the mouth, compliment by the sauce, which brings out the sweetness of the shrimps. The sauce if I’m not wrong comprises of a light soy sauce taste, bringing out the aroma of the dish, garnished with some herbs. The whole set lunch deal cost RM100nett if not mistaken. The main course is complimented with a warm appetizer as well as a satisfying dessert to end the meal well.

Overall its not that sweet and just nice for me. All in all it was all the more satisfying and worth the cents. I would recommend this place for people who seek good food as well as a wonderful environment. It is mostly packed during peak lunch hours as well as dinner times.

As Chef Daniel quoted "Food is like a work of art. The plate is my canvas. The ingredients are my paint. The customers are my critique"

After half year, I'm back to Sage again.

I would never doubt about the standard of Sage although Chef Takashi was back to Cilantro and now it's Chef Daniel's turn to hold the fortress of Sage.

Arrived in time and couldn't get a table beside to the window due to certain reason. Anyhow, the serenity dining area is just fine for me since there is no customer yet ^.^v

I very curious how they got my full name in the reservation list as I just reserve it through e-mail under the name of Mrs. Wong. But I think get my full name through The Gardens Club with the e-mail address, otherwise I couldn't think of other way how they get it.

Is it fate My camera just run out of battery at such moment... Get my handphone to take photo >.<
I guess it just want me focus to taste the foods instead of taking photo, haha. Feel so sad of the photos' quality T.T

I would like to change my main course to lobster if I have bring extra money for it since they having promotion now. Anyhow, the current main course is just enough to satisfy my taste bud.

It is now once a blue moon I get myself a chance to have a great dinner nowadays, therefore, I go for Gourmet Dinner instead of Sage Dinner with an extra dish, Chef's Special of the Day.

Choosing the main course from three kind of seafood really make me headache. The dish is well prepared. Although the skin of the fish is not as crispy as last time I serve(most probably because of the thickness of the skin), but I doesn't mean it not taste good, contrary, it is much better the texture of the seabass. It is fresh, the firmness of the fish is just prefect for fish lover like me! Heavenly delicious.

Last but not least, coffee or tea

I don't think last time I get such big cup of coffee 0.o ... I would rather call it... A Bowl of Coffee instead... ^.^ a very big cup,haha ... May I get a jug next timeLOL

Other that coffee, there's also two small slice of unknown flavored cheesecake XD.

Earlier I expect they have serve the mocktail like lunch last time I had but it seem don't have, get myself a bottle of sparkling mineral water for a replacement(non-complimentary). Of course you can ask for plain water if you wish.

And if you think such portion of serving will not fill your stomach, then you might be wrong. Why not get your bread refill haha, I can eat one loaf, maybe you can eat two
