Sage Restaurant is debuting their new dessert menu this Valentine’s weekend and it’s loaded with something for everyone. Chocolate lovers will find plenty of choices from Molten Lava Cake, Triple Chocolate Mousse and Chocolate Hazelnut Cake (gluten-free).

If you’re yearning for a cool treat to end your meal we serve real vanilla bean ice-cream with choice of Seasonal Berries, Chocolate Syrup or Bacon Crumbles and Warm Maple Syrup. Last but certainly not least is the star of the show, Three-cheese Cheesecake served with Sliced Strawberries and Fresh made Whipped Cream.
