Sage Leaf To Keep Growing With Second Location; Announces New Snowmobile To-Go Delivery Service

Reno, NV (BUSINESS WIRE) - North Lake Tahoe’s Sage Leaf is delighted to announce the upcoming grand opening of its newest location in central Reno. The Incline Village-based restaurant has also launched a backcountry delivery service by way of snowmobile to hungry skiers, riders, and adventurers.

“Sage Leaf made its debut in Incline Village over five years ago,” said Lara Hammett, Co-Owner of Sage Leaf. “In Reno, we plan to have a longer Happy Hour, more seats, and a larger menu. We are also making our pasta in-house with organic flour. The restaurant space itself is much larger, with a massive kitchen that gives us the room to be even more creative,” Hammett explained. “The vibe in Reno will be moodier, but still with all the Sage Leaf Tahoe feels.”

As a business, Sage Leaf sources local, sustainable, and humanely-raised products, collaborating with Niman Ranch and similar small purveyors who are environmentally conscious. Menus are seasonal, ensuring freshest ingredients are used in Sage Leaf’s many innovative dishes and craft cocktails.

The new restaurant will be triple the size of the Incline Village location, and will be housed in the former Laughing Planet building at 650 Tahoe Street, in the heart of Midtown. Sage Leaf’s Reno opening is slated for early March and is now hiring; interested candidates are encouraged to apply online.

About Sage Leaf
Sage Leaf was founded in 2020, aptly named for the Nevada State Flower Sagebrush, a hardy and durable plant that flowers and thrives in summers and continues to live and grow during winters – much like a Tahoe local. The restaurant proudly supports the Boys and Girls Club of North Tahoe and the Incline Education Fund and is a member of the Reno-Sparks Chamber and the IVCBA. Owner Shane, originally from Sacramento, serves as Executive Chef and Sommelier, met Owner/Operator Lara, who is from Napa Valley, in 2007 while they were working at the prestigious Napa Valley Grille in Yountville. Cooking in Napa and in the San Francisco Bay Area inspired Shane and Lara to share their passion for sublime cuisine, high-end wine, and authentic, top-notch hospitality with locals and visitors in the Reno-Tahoe area.
