   Reading mixed reviews for Wild Sage, we though we would gamble on a restaurant open during shoulder season in Jackson, but it was the wrong gamble. We had a reservation at 6:30 for 2, for a Bday dinner and waited until 6:57 to be seated, while the restaurant was only about 15% full if that. Tables were wide open, but no one would seat us. There was only 1 server, and 1 bartender, no host/hostess, and the service was very disappointing. We were given a complimentary champagne while waiting, but since one of us didn't drink and no one bothered asking, that was awkward. The food took much too long to arrive, with so few diners in the space, and when it did arrive, the Duck was overcooked and the Halibut was dry and almost hard to chew on the edges. Instead of a normal size piece of Halibut, it was possibly 2.5" square and there was no side. Just a tiny piece of over cooked Halibut for $50. The waiter was loud and not trained well, and we were told that there was a skeleton crew in the kitchen so we needed to be patient. Not a good confidence boost in how our food would taste. The fireplace, music, furnishings and aesthetics were actually very nice, but without good service and good food, you aren't left with much.

   The menu is pretentious and the food accordingly was over-fussed with. The service was good and the chef prepared food well within the menu description. For example, does one need to add squid ink to pasta?

   Wild Sage in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, offers a truly exceptional dining experience, one that seamlessly blends rustic charm with refined culinary artistry. Our recent visit left us utterly impressed, particularly by the standout dishes and the impeccable service. The elk carpaccio was, without exaggeration, the best we've ever had. Thinly sliced, tender, and perfectly seasoned, it was a symphony of flavors that danced on the palate. It's a must-try for any discerning foodie. Following this, the garlic soup was a delightful surprise – rich, creamy, and bursting with the robust flavor of garlic, yet elegantly balanced. For our main courses, we opted for the sable fish and the rabbit pappardelle. The sable fish was cooked to perfection, flaky and moist, with a delicate flavor profile that showcased its freshness. The rabbit pappardelle was equally impressive, the tender rabbit paired beautifully with the hearty pasta and a flavorful sauce. Both dishes were executed with precision and showcased the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and culinary expertise. However, the dining experience was elevated even further by our server, Duck. His experience and knowledge were truly remarkable. He navigated the menu with ease, providing insightful descriptions of each dish's flavor profile and offering thoughtful recommendations. His passion for the food was evident, and his attentiveness made us feel genuinely valued as guests. The ambiance of Wild Sage is warm and inviting, perfectly complementing the rustic beauty of Jackson Hole. It's a place where you can relax and savor a memorable meal, knowing that you're in the hands of a team that truly cares about the dining experience. In summary, Wild Sage is a culinary gem in Jackson Hole. From the exquisite elk carpaccio to the flavorful mains and the exceptional service provided by Duck, every aspect of our meal was outstanding. We highly recommend Wild Sage to anyone seeking a truly special dining experience.

   Food was just OK. We asked our food to be cooked medium rare, came medium. Beef Tartare had no flavor. There are better options for the price.

    Duck is an outstanding server who not only knows the menu, but was great with wine pairing suggestions!! When he got bogged down with a large table, other servers seamlessly stepped in to take care of our needs.
