I go to this small restaurant with my wife to enjoy the closest thing to a home cooked meal. If these folks tried to make a lousy dish, I'll bet that they couldn't make one. Food is delicious and fresh, plus the service is second to none. The little cutie waitress by the name of Lauren and her entire team work in sync to provide a delicious experience. Come and check out the love to detail and attention to a wonderful experience by eating there. Happy belly equals a happy heart. See you all there. Thanks Sage Social Eatery staff!

Really good!! The service was great and it was a pretty cute spot, my favorite item was their chicken and waffles ( mainly the chicken so good and the seasoning was great). I highly recommended tying it out!

Small cute little breakfast spot. We got there when they just opened so we were sat quickly . It did fill up by the time we left. Food was good I enjoyed the horchata and the Dutch baby . Smoked salmon was very good I would just want my potato's crispier but other than that excellent service good food would comeback

Fantastic brunch spot with delicious food, great drinks, and affordable options! If you're also looking for a place with aesthetic good and good portions this is also the place to go! I definitely recommend. I got the classic egg benny and it was so good and filling! Plus the potatoes on the side were the best I have ever had. Flavored so well and perfectly cook (not dry or mushy). I also got the horchata latte which was good and only $5 for a large bottle. The only lackluster thing was the dutch baby. It's very pretty looking and freshly made (takes 25 mins to make from ordering) but tasted kind of flavorless. The inside is kind of small, but definitely still a vibe. I would definitely come back here to get more drinks and try other items! Note: parking lot is kind of small, but you can park on the main street for free.

This is a cute hidden gem! The food was delicious! Extremely flavorful. Freshly made whip cream and butter from the drip. Hot chocolate was exceptional. We enjoyed their chimichurri steak and pork chops. We were seated right away and every staff member welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed. Atmosphere was very pleasant and decorated beautifully. Calm nature vibe. Gorgeous mural from wall to wall Very clean and unkept restaurant. If I could give this many stars I would

Definitely a cute brunch place when you first sit down here, perfect for a catching up with friends! The interior is filled with murals and plants, making it feel artistic and inviting. We made a reservation for a table of 4 on a Monday as a precaution though the restaurant didn't seem too busy at this time. I ordered their signature Chorizo skillet and an espresso (a doppio, really). The espresso was amazing, not sour at all, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The chorizo skillet came with a wrap and sauce on the side to pair with the meal. The sauce added the perfect bit of spice and the tortilla gave the potatoes and meat the perfect scoop of flavor in one bite, making it a very satisfying meal!

Came for brunch at SAGE Social Eatery on a Sunday late morning around 11:30am. No wait to dine in outdoors, though the picnic style chairs do not have backings outside if you need that. Chilaquiles ($14.25) + pulled pork ($3): Tortilla chips with sauce, sour cream, pulled pork, thinly sliced red onions and chopped tomatoes. I would have preferred pico as mentioned on the menu but it appears it perhaps was not available hence the onions and tomatoes on the side. Served alongside rosemary potatoes. The potatoes were unique with bits of kale intertwined - something different and was quite delicious. Dutch Baby ($16): Dutch pancake served with whipped cream and fresh fruit. The dutch baby comes out in a little cast iron skillet and takes 15 minutes to prepare. Though this was a signature item, we were disappointed as the pancake was a bit burnt throughout the top and the top half was completely dry. The Dutch Baby is fairly small but between 5 of us, we only ate half. Texture was more bread pudding like than a pancake. Small parking lot shared with 7-11 and a laundromat that has their own reserved spots. Street parking available otherwise.

My wife has eaten here several times, but this was my first visit. The service was excellent, the food good, and the ambiance was cool. Seems like a "hip" vibe and younger crowd, but obviously there's no discrimination (I'm an old man and they welcomed me...LOL). Instead of coffee, we opted for a Hibiscus Sangria ($5) and a Nutty Cookie Butter Smoothie ($6). For meals, we selected the Harvest Salad with Chicken ($16) and the Signature Carnitas Benny ($17). Everything was good and I left with a full belly. Indoor and patio dining available. Parking lot is small and shared with other businesses, but there is some on street parking as well. Would definitely return as there were many other items on the menu that piqued my interest.
