A restaurant exclusively for vegans with decent options. - Edit
I have yet to recall a time when my visit was unpleasant here. When I want to go to a local-ish exclusive vegan restaurant, this is where I typically go. The first time I visited was in late 2023, I think?
Read moreSure, it might seem like some of the items on the menu might've probably been precooked, and were reheated. Nonetheless, it's still pretty decent. I have a handful of favorites, including the adult mac n' cheese, cauliflower buffalo bites, and their famous spinach artichoke dip, just to name a few. I also like some of their seasonal brunch items like the blueberry pancakes, and eggs benedict.
They also have some tasty cookies, too. From what I heard, they're homemade. Ask for gluten free options, if needed.

Delicious from start to finish - Edit
Absolutely amazing experience and a very friendly waiter. I’d last been a few years ago, and they’ve really seemed to up their game since. I had the mac and cheese, bruschetta, and sin tres leches — each of which were incredibly flavorful. Highly recommend!!

Quality is not great - Edit
I’d like to rate this restaurant more as their food could potentially be good. However it just feels like a lot of the food is not made fresh. My main was clearly pre-made and was just heated up so it was cold in the middle. Likewise the chocolate lava cake was overcooked. Flavours of the food are good just not executed well.
Read morePros: Lots of choice
Cons: Seems food is not made fresh

Worth the drive! - Edit
When I was moving to Maryland everyone would say "try the crab cakes!" Well...I'm vegan. But Great Sage to the rescue! I had the crab cake sandwich with fries and it was delicious and filling! This place has a great staff, great good, but it does have California prices.

Amazing food! - Edit
Loved the artichoke dip and spanikopita and shared chocolate lava cake with soy ice cream for dessert. Big portions so I got to enjoy it for breakfast at our hotel on the next day.

Good meal in pleasant surroundings - Edit
Started with their famous artichoke dip. Really good. We took a side of corn bread for extra taste. For entree I had the adult mac and cheese. A nice variation which included white beans and broccoli. The servings were big so I wound up taking half the entree home for another meal. But, nevertheless, in any case and so indeed …we split a chocolate lava cake for dessert!! Absolutely delicious.

I've frequented this place countless times, and I must say, the food never disappoints! Whether it's dinner or brunch, the culinary experience here is always top-notch. What's particularly impressive is their commitment to seasonal menus. Personally, I love coming here for my birthday, especially when the fall menu is in full swing—it's truly the best. And let me tell you about the Autumn Crisp—it's an absolute standout! A must-try, without a doubt. Oh, and before you dive into the main course, make sure not to overlook the appetizers. The spinach artichoke dip is simply divine!

I've been here many times now and the food is always delicious! Dinner and brunch too! They have seasonal menus and I like to come here for my birthday because the fall menu is the best. My absolute favorite dish is the Autumn Crisp. It's a must try! Oh and don't skip the appetizers, the spinach artichoke dip is delicious.
Read moreMy only complaint is that their desserts taste like they're trying to be "healthy" but I prefer my desserts to be an indulgence! I just grab dessert next door at the grocery store after dinner now.
Pros: Very good food
Cons: Their desserts aren't sweet treats 😔

Amazing food and experience - Edit
Great Sage has such a nice vibe, and they are outwardly vegan for the animals which I love. I got the BBQ Jackfruit sandwich special which our server highly recommended. It was so good it hit the spot! It’s a bit of a trip for me but I’m definitely coming again.

Large menu - Edit
Nice setting. Lots of tables and beautiful outdoor patio.
Read moreSome of the items were not available today. I wanted to try the Reuben but they were out of some ingredients. I settled for a Beyond Burger. It was the pretzel bun and my curiosity of the sauce. I frankly didn’t want anything else on the menu. The burger was quite good but the fries were amazing!! I had the monkey smoothie which was not worth 10$ for the size and taste.
Pros: Atmosphere, Large menu
Cons: Out of ingredients , Not so friendly server, Over priced smoothie
