We have been coming to Great Sage for years. We may not come every week, but we definitely come for special occasions. The last few times we came, including this morning, we noticed this place has gone a bit downhill with service and the food quality. First off, our server seemed miserable and rushed us through our entire meal. For example, she cleared 2 out of 4 of the entrees and immediately asked us if we wanted dessert while the other 2 were still eating. FYI the restaurant was not fully packed and guests were not waiting to be seated. I also found a small rock in the daily soup. When asking

It used to be the best! New chef new recipes??? Not sure, but ordered take out and got home not to be able to finish the adult Mac & cheese -used to be great! This time was half hard beans, STRONG Indian flavors and dry just gross! And we'd ordered 2.
At least the Spnich artichoke dip was delicious as usual!

What a great find. We needed to find a place to meet my daughter and boyfriend as they were heading out of town. They are both vegan and my daughter is celiac. The Great Sage didn't disappoint. We have to say the food was spectacular. We even splurged on carrot cake...also vegan .. which was a delicious moist tasty dessert! We will be back and would highly recommend. (Portions are generous)

Just the best vegan food on the planet! Veggies are well seasoned and Teriyaki tofu beautifully prepared. Some of the very best desserts dairy free or not, elsewhere. Service by mostly gals, friendly and efficient. Sure to tip well as there’s a .75/1.00 for guys nationally. Pleasant outdoor seating honor the pandemic guidelines. We’ll be back soon!

This is, without a doubt, my favorite restaurant on the planet. Great Sage is a safe haven for someone with multiple food allergies, the most severe of which is dairy. Over the years, my family and friends have joined me for many meals at Great Sage, and my husband and I have also celebrated birthdays and anniversaries there.
The employees and management have always been friendly, amusing, patient, and accommodating. Their coffee is fantastic, their Spinach Artichoke Dip is incredible, their Ultimate Nachos are my personal favorite, their soups are second to none, their mac and cheese is unrivaled

A must visit when in the DC, MD or VA area. Very flavorful and a mix of homestyle and inventive dishes. Very accommodating for those who avoid certain ingredients such as wheat.
Great, kind and enthusiastic staff who ensured we felt welcome.
Lots of dessert options as well.
Definitely recommend heading to Great Sage.

Way overpriced for lunch 1 adult 2 kids with no drinks dessert over $40. Yikes
Plus I do appreciate the Covid safety but getting my entire meal in carryout boxes and small plastic utensils when dining in is not nice. Nor is the trashcan outside right near your table. With these prices need to step it up a bit.

I've been eating here for years and have always loved it however my most recent experience was disheartening. This was my first time back since Covid. The food was wonderful as always so no complaints there. Upon arrival we learned that they were only offering seating outside. Not a problem on this gorgeous sunny day and thankfully we were the only diners present. Despite being the only diners, we were surprised how long it took our food to arrive. We then found out, at a rather
inopportune moment, that we were not allowed to use the facilities inside. This should have been disclosed at the

First time trying the food at this restaurant. I wanted to find a place with healthier options. Sometimes vegan restaurants are a hit or miss. I ordered the quesadilla and beyond meat burger. I was very pleased with the ingredients and the overall taste of the meals. It was flavorful and absolutely delicious. I am looking forward to trying other options on their menu. I have found a new favorite vegan restaurant!

Tried this place as it was recommended by some friends. I had the vanilla waffle meal which was excellent. The waffle was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My only complaint is the cost. One waffle costs $15 $$$. However, it did come with cinnamon butter, whipped cream, syrup, candied pecans, and caramel. This is a dish (waffles) I would typically make myself, but you are limited when you are on vacation away from your kitchen.

First and foremost I want to say that this is the safest restaurant that I've been to since the beginning of Covid-19. They thoroughly enforce social distancing, you're not even allowed in the restaurant. Everything that they give you is disposable, and everything is super clean. It's getting colder now, but if you can catch a warm day, it's definitely worth it to come here and sit on the patio. Also, the food here is delicious. I loved their "crab" cakes on top of their salad. I will definitely be coming back.

Have been wanting to check Great Sage out for a while and am glad we finally did!
This was during covid-19 times so all review action reflects that.
My wife ordered the Autumn Crisp- Autumn Crisp
House-made gruyere cheese, leek confit, seasonal mushrooms, roasted butternut squash and garlic spinach rolled in buttered phyllo dough, served on a bed of roasted potatoes and basil-walnut pesto. Topped with beet-balsamic purée and local micro greens.
It was nicely presented which is kinda rare for takeout so that was cool. It was delicious, rich and flavorful.

I guess your staff thinks that all Asians have corona virus. RACIST STAFF!!!
My husband was standing in the parking lot in front of the restaurant looking at the menu on the curb for at least 5 mins. He was outside, no one else around the front of the restaurant, he did not have a mask on. Staff didn't say anything because, of course, he wasn't… doing anything wrong. the moment I stepped out the car, your staff saw an Asian woman with no mask on and I was immediately told to put a mask on.
I am so offended. I took my 20 dollars (which is the cost of ONE meal at your place) somewhere else

I wanted to go for a weekend drive outside Baltimore and found this place. What. A. Miracle.
The staff is lovely, the service delightful, and the menu is fully vegan (and delicious to boot!!!) I went for a late brunch before stopping in to the nice grocery store next door after for a weekly shop. Let's just say this might become a weekend ritual!!
I started with a side Caesar salad. I tend to have a hard time finding good creamy Caesar salads as a vegan, but this one was great. Then I dug into the hearty harvest toast. Every bite was divine. Then... I caved to my better judgement and also

Was in the area for the weekend. Must say this place was a gem! The restaurant has such a great vegan menu. The Mac n cheese, buffalo cauliflower, and quesadilla were all amazing. The desserts were soooo good! Came here with non vegans and they couldn't tell the difference. Our party was around 9 people and the service was great! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to try extremely flavorful vegan food! Will visit again when I'm in the area!

I've had Great Sage bookmarked for who knows how long. We just happened to be in the area that day and I said we HAVE to stop for brunch here! I was hoping they served lunch as well so I could try the nori-sesame fries, but unfortunately they only served brunch at the time on Sunday morning. However, that could've been a blessing in disguise because that just means I will have to come back!
Let me start off by saying we should probably make a reservation next time because when we walked in there were only three small tables left! Good thing there was only two of us! Everyone was extremely
