History

Established in 2006.

When the owners of Mon Pere et Moi Café decided to sell their restaurant, then Executive Chef Terry White, purchased their business and reopened it as Sage.

Since then, Chef White has offered an eclectic, seasonal & multicultural menu showcasing the best local produce & seafood. Terry measures his success as a chef «by how many happy people leave our restaurant.»

In October of 2011, an arsonist lit a fire that destroyed the interior of the kitchen and dining room but did not deter White and his staff from rebuilding. Thanks in part to a benefit held by supportive local businesses, Sage reopened early in 2012 and has garnered stellar reviews including being named OpenTable’s highest ranked restaurant in Northwest Florida.
