Editorial Review for Sage's Cafe – by Robyn Galbos
The Scene
A tiny, comfortable restaurant with a handful of tables. The sun porch is light and airy with a mural painted to look like the sky on the ceiling.
The Food
Simple dishes made with fresh, quality ingredients. For a light meal, the warm spinach salad and the soup of the day are uncomplicated and good. The pesto over pasta is a fine choice if you want something heartier. The pasta is made from spelt--a cereal grain with a nutty flavor--giving it the look and texture of wheat pasta. The café makes efforts to present food as traditional-looking as possible. The Philly "cheesesteak" sandwich is filled with tasty al dente roasted vegetables--peppers, onions and beefy portobello mushrooms--topped with a "cheese" sauce made with yeast protein. The sauce tastes OK, but if you're used to eating cheese, you won't be fooled.

My roomate and I ate at Sage on Saturday evening. She had been before, and as a vegetarian loves the place! I am mostly veg...and Sage lived up to many built up expectations. We had lettuce wraps as an appetizer; followed by the soba salad and the wilted spinach salad. My only complaint is that the tempeh was a bit too salty...but the rest of the soba salad soaked up the extra salt well. I left perfectly full; and feeling good about eating really good food! Enjoy
Pros: Great window seating and chill atmosphere...not too hippie
Cons: Menu could be more varied...more warm, savory dinner dishes

I really love this restaurant. Sometimes the quality of their food is unpredictable. For instance, their mushroom stroganoff is mediocre, but their carrot butter and vegetarian tacos are excellent. I've found that the best way to order food there is to ask the waiter what their favorite dish is. If I do that, I always end up with something fabulous! The atmosphere is chic, but cute and comfortable. The location is very close to Trax, and they have ample room to tie up a bike. The prices are steep, but the food is worth it.
Pros: atmosphere, location, chocolate desserts
Cons: price, occassionally inconsistent food
