SAGE is open at 114 N. Third Street in Downtown Columbus. The restaurant's own website marks the room NOW OPEN, lists Thursday through Saturday evening hours, and posts the Third Street address plus a 614-618-1818 reservation line.

The concept pairs Asian-inspired plates with a bar program and planned live entertainment. Owner-site copy frames Sage as a place for handcrafted dishes, innovative cocktails, and rotating weekly experiences such as live art and music once that calendar starts. Online reservation booking is listed as coming soon, with phone and contact-form seating in the meantime.

Hours on the SAGE site are Thursday 4 to 10 p.m., Friday 4 to 11 p.m., and Saturday 4 to 11 p.m. Confirm tonight's door time on sagecolumbus.com before you go, since the owner hours block is the source of truth for walk-ins and call-ahead tables.

Where it sits Downtown

The address maps to the Uptown / Downtown core on North Third Street, a short walk from the Statehouse and Cap Square blocks. For diners who already bounce between Downtown offices, Arena District nights, and Short North dinners, SAGE adds a Thu-Sat Asian-inspired stop without a drive to the suburbs.

Food photos on the owner site lean into colorful bowls, crispy rice bites, and cocktail service against floral and greenery walls, which matches the experience-forward branding on the homepage. That is the cleanest primary confirmation the kitchen and bar are presenting a finished room, not just a coming-soon teaser page.

Earlier summer coverage from local outlets described SAGE as the next chapter in the former Rishi Sushi Kitchen & Bar room, with the same ownership group returning to the address. Treat those reports as background. Today's open status and hours come from the business site itself.
