Was in the area and needed a place to go for breakfast that had vegan options. Note- ask for the separate menu with vegetarian, vegan and gluten free items. I got the Thai peanut wrap with kettle chips. It was the best wrap I ever had. My dad got the veggie skillet and enjoyed it. This place also has a beautiful atmosphere and good music. Will definitely come back for dinner to try the black bean burger.

Delicious food! It was a little busy, so I could tell the servers were slightly stressed, but they were all very kind. Would love to see them bring back “Cheap Date Night” as I would definitely be attending!

If you need a reason to meet a friend for breakfast, Sage on Laurel is the reason. Great service, delicious food and coffee in the perfect atmosphere. Call a friend and make their day!

Sage was great! We had an appetizer, 2 dinner entrees, and a dessert and all of it was delicious! We got the fried popcorn lobster for an appetizer and it was a perfect appetizer, not fishy and very tender. The chicken pesto tortellini was good but the Thai peanut stir fry was very good. The turtle cheesecake was made in house and was very delicious! Overall we had a wonderful experience at Sage and would definitely recommend dining here.

Super cute and the food was amazing. The red curry was fantastic. Parking was super easy and free. Next to a lot of cute stores tool. Very good price for the amount of food you get and even though there was only one server when we got in the service was fast and very nice.

So, so good! Every single dish. I had the corned beef skillet, home made corned beef! Potatoes are ridiculously good, crunchy but not burnt. Definitely coming back.

This time we had a really great server! I wish I remembered her name, but I do remember she has a lip piercing and she was wonderful! Service was prompt and she let us enjoy a very nice dinner together. She was there when we needed something, but did not linger, or come to our table too much. Great, great service!

Stopped for breakfast and it was very very good and showing a lot of creativity from the chef. Our server Tammy was the absolute best. Totally hoping they start serving dinner again.

I’ve visited on two separate occasions for out of town work. Top notch ingredients, and creative menu. The food tastes like the chef puts their soul into the cooking. I will definitely be back to try more dishes!

This is my husband and my favorite date night spot in the area. We were a bit disappointed when they moved to breakfast & lunch only (although both of those menus are DELICIOUS), but are super thrilled that they are doing these new farm to table dinners. We attended one last night for our anniversary and it was super fresh, tasty, and a lot of food. We love supporting this local restaurant and encourage all of our BLA neighbors to give it a try. They also have vegan options and my dad, who visited this summer, got the thai peanut wrap and swapped the chicken for tofu. He thoroughly enjoyed it and it was such a treat to be able to take him out somewhere local and know that he would have more than just 1 sad salad option to choose from.
