Message from SAGE on Sycamore

SAGE on Sycamore

Come see why we have been a Decatur favorite for over 8 years.

  • Upscale Casual environment
  • Extensive Wine Selection
  • Private Dining & Event Room

Founded in 1999, SAGE on Sycamore has found innovative ways to share the restaurant?s French-American menu and extensive affordable wine list with its community, including establishing and hosting the Decatur Wine Festival held every November to benefit the non-profit Decatur Arts Alliance. SAGE on Sycamore, the largest restaurant on the Historic Decatur Square, has become a permanent fixture of this charming Village within a City. The setting is a 100+ year old building with hardwood floors and exposed brick walls decorated with local artists? paintings. The Food, Wine and Martinis are only complimented by the great service SAGE always strives to offer. For Private events SAGE has the largest Private Dining Room on the square; or, if more than 50 guests, the entire restaurant is available to rent. Reservations are always recommended.

Editorial Review for SAGE on Sycamore – by Jane Garvey

The Scene
One of Decatur's fine old 19th century storefronts provides a rich context for this casual bistro. Old brick walls angle against large awning-shaded windows which look out onto the pedestrian street in front. After-work crowds of 20- and 30-somethings gather at the friendly bar for animated conversation. Service ranges from cheerful but unsophisticated to professional.

The Food
An eclectic New American menu includes everything from duck confit to a fried shrimp "po'boy." Appetizers, the better choice here, include a crisp quesadilla with marinated tomato garnish and sour cream and a garlic cheese soup, a regular special. A bouillabaisse of delectable shellfish in a saffron-scented fumet nonetheless disappoints by arriving barely tepid. Flank steak, a perfect medium rare, comes with stone-cold mashed potatoes. Pork tenderloin, ordered medium, instead arrives rare, but comes with a generous helping of tasty sweet potato hash. Try the vanilla creme brulee for dessert.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I live in the heart of Manhattan, with no shortage of fine dining, but I love Sage the most! Not too homey or fancy, Sage has the perfect ambience of a perfectly charming restaurant. It makes me very happy to come there straight off the plane and relax at the bar. The atmosphere is charming, the bar food is great and Roy is absolutely the best host ever. It's great to have a place away form home that I always know will be delightful. I just wish I could be there more often.

Pros: Great ambience, great food, fabulous service, great place to eat at the bar.

Cons: None
