Positive, good experience. The students do everything….the menu development, cooking, serving, etc. We had a six-course meal with a wine pairing on two courses. Excellent food….hats off to the chefs. Our server seemed shy….which did not get in the way of good service. The entire student team was friendly, supported each other, and took care of the guests. Not only was the food delicious, it was visibly appealing. Great experience….I want to go back!

The food and experience was exactly what I would expect from such an amazing program. While we’ve been to Sage for dinner, this was our first chance to make lunch service. The small plate, tapas-style service was delicious. Every bite was a little piece of the country it represented and was a treat for lunch. We took our sweet treat to go because we were so full! Looking forward to the next lunch date there!

We went on a stormy night to support my daughter who being a 'soon to be graduating student' was in charge of the menu and kitchen that night. We arrived and they seated us right away. Not long after being seated, the weather service called a severe storm warning, so they asked everyone to come to the safe room which was the classroom kitchen where they were holding a baking class for the students. It was interesting to me because my daughter has been a student there for a couple years and that is the first time I got to see the kitchen. Once the storm warning had expired, we went back to our table and enjoyed course after course of wonderful food. This is high end dining, so I didn't expect to be filled up. I even joked that we might have to stop by a drive thru on the way home. The food was as filling as it was good though, and I was satisfied when finished that we did not have to spoil the good taste in our mouths with drive thru food. The bison and salmon were both very good. One of the three desserts had a little thicker crust than it needed, but all desserts were very tasty without killing my blood sugar (I am diabetic). The room is nice and elegant with both tables and booths. There is even a table high fireplace at one end of the room and windows on two sides of the dining room.

I love supporting the students. You can tell the instructors work hard to provide the best environment possible for them to learn.
