Sage is pretty much my favourite restaurant in Vancouver. I don't eat there as often as I'd like, because it's only open Monday-Friday for lunch. But anytime I'm at UBC during the week, I make a point of having lunch there. The menu changes seasonally, and they use local ingredients. If you can, get a seat outside - the view is breathtaking.

5/12/2009 7 Check-ins Here
For campus, this is probably the nicest place you can take a visitor or something. The food is alright. If it were off campus I might give it 3.5 stars. The view is amazing and the restaurant itself has a very calming environment (not spa-like though). I'm a fan. But would only go for fancy occasions. It's too expensive to go regularly.
Extra Points for using UBC Farm produce! -

I had a pretty good experience here. I had the ceviche and it was really tasty and fresh! I also had a caesar which was... whatever. The service was a little hinky and slow, but I think the waitress was really new. I will probably eat here more often throughout the summer as their balcony is pretty much the best thing ever.

Sage Bistro was a great success at our wedding.
The space was perfect for our entire wedding day. We had pictures out on the deck, and inside, the ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dance reception. They even had a room where the kids to go to and play amongst themselves with a babysitter or just watch a DVD on their TV.
Rick is the catering manager, and he took care of all the details beautifully. However, because he is so busy, it was sometimes difficult to reach him or get our questions answered. But everything worked out fantastic on the day of the wedding. Rick is very experienced with events and was very knowledgeable about what would work (wine selections, how much to order, event flow, children's meals, etc) and what wouldn't work. He took care of our special requests and made sure that they happened.
The food was very good. My husband and I didn't want to compromise at our wedding--and we didn't. We had 3 different entrée choices (sit down, plated meal), and all were excellent. Even the children's meals were excellent.
The service staff was great too. Somehow all the glasses were filled, hors d'oeuvres passed, plates cleared, and tables set up and torn down without us noticing.
One concern we had about the location was whether people would be able to find it without getting lost. If you get lost at UBC, you can get really lost. So I emailed out maps, I had signs made, and I had postcards made with a UBC map on the back. And everyone made it! -

This restaurant is a real shame, granted I've only been twice and havent tried the breakfast/brunch.
Sage Bistro is a restaurant on the far west of UBC campus. It has outstanding views of the Ocean and Mountains and a really fantastic patio as well as interior. It used to be a faculty club but they've opened it up to the public. From what I can tell, the place is mainly filled with older UBC faculty who are meeting for lunch.
I ordered a parpadelle with braised veal and a shrimp chowder. The chowder was too soupy and didn't have the potato thickness I expected. It felt like they added in frozen shrimp after. The parpadelle, sauce wise was okay. The veal could have been braised much longer and much gentler.
The presentations were fairly nice and the service was moderately good. We didn't order wine but the winelist looked decent.
This place has lots of potential. If they opened it up for dinner then maybe they can transform the place. It has a lot of potential to be a showcase restaurant for the UBC farm and also a place for seafood because its right by the water. I guess its really out of the way for most vancouverites though.
I look forward to some changes being made and would come again for the views. Prices are reasonable and the food isn't bad. The views and interior just give you too high expectations.
