Sage Restaurant in North West Leicestershire

Went early Saturday evening. Receptionist for hotel really did not want us to eat there, even though place was empty, saying that they were booked up, but she would ask the Chef. Had to go back in half an hour. Shown to table and asked if we wanted a drink without giving us a drinks menu. Said we would decide when we had chosen the food. Given a food menu consisting of several selections but obviously for a set 3 course meal - no prices. Asked what the price was to be told that was a set meal for Wowcher customers only. Menu taken away to be brought back with prices written on. Chose our food and needed to ask for the wine menu. Food took a long time to be prepared. But when it came the Lamb rack was delicious followed by two nice deserts. The restaurant was nicely decorated and set out, with linen tablecloth and napkins. Unfortunately it completely lacked atmosphere because we were the only customers. (Fully Booked??). Some quiet music would have been better. Left two and a half hours or so later, still empty. I had asked about the Gourmet Society when we sat down to be ignored and of course told they did not do the card at all even though they are on the website. Although as I have already said the food was excellent I would not recommend this restaurant and feel that management should change things quickly before they lose all their customers.

Had two meals here over the weekend and the food is excellent, served by very helpful and friendly staff
