    Small intimate vegetarian grille with delicious menu. We enjoyed our water with lemons and an assortment of hot teas. Quesa Havana was filled with fresh mango slices mixed with black beans and a salsa with a kick of spice. Fresh guacamole and chipotle sauce. Grilled cheese with tomato bisque and garden greens hit the spot on a rainy day.

    Now I have been here twice with my boyfriend, once in the winter and once in the spring/early summer. The place is small, so make sure you make a reservation. In winter, I got the pumpkin arachini rice balls along with the stuffed butternut squash - both were SO GOOD! My boyfriend got the sliders and the chicken and waffles - he loved the sliders but thought the chicken and waffles was better the next day. We had the hazelnut mousse for dessert, but that's nothing to write home about. However, the portions are HUGE and are very reasonably priced, and are definitely beautifully presented. Since most of the menu is very fall-based, when we came back in spring, i thought for sure there would be new items on the menu - but there were not! I certainly don't want to be eating hot wintery things on a hot summer day! So that was definitely updsetting. However, this time I got their smoked tomato gazpacho and the falafel wrap. Deeeelicious! And my BF got these chinese things and the bagette, and really enjoyed the bagette. for dessert I got a scrumptious cashew praline tart, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING! The wait staff was very nice, and my BF had bug in his salad, and they comped us his dinner and gave us a free dessert, beyond generous. Needless to say we will be back!

    This is by far my favorite restaurant without heading downtown into Philadelphia. The nachos are to die for! My husband, who isn't a vegan or vegetarian, loves Blue Sage too. The servers are awesome, so friendly and helpful with the menu if you have any questions. My only personal complaint is that I wish I lived closer...so I could order it for take out every night!

    Best taste & portion for your money! Food not only taste fresh but it also has a lot of flavor! They have outstanding service! A must try..specially for vegetarians.

    Wow, wonderful food!! We started with corn chowder with potatoes - sweet corn flavor, chunks of fingerling potatoes and a lovely, hearty but not heavy broth. We also ordered a portobello sandwich, blue corn asparagus tacos and sliders with shoestring fries. Everything was fresh, hearty and delicious - melty cheese, big flavorful chunks of veggies. The place is small and charming, with really reasonable prices, to boot! I wish I lived nearby so I could be a regular!! The service is friendly but had some imperfections (a little slow, forgotten to-go box, out of order men's restroom but no sign).

    Great vegetarian and vegan cuisine. Restaurant is very tight so be prepared to basically get seated on top of other patrons. Service seems to be hit or miss. The hazelnut dessert is stellar!

    Came here on a Saturday night for dinner, place was packed ,reservations are a must . Ordered the goat cheese nachos and butternut squash bisque. Both were huge portions and absolutely amazing. For dinner we ordered the pan bagna and the blue corn asparagus tacos. Pan bagna was delicious ! The tacos were good but a bit too greasy. We were so full that we had to take most of it home . But of course we had to have dessert, the reconstructed pie-fantastic! Everything was so delicious and service was excellent .we will definitely be back

    Top of the line vegetarian food that will make even the heartiest of meat lovers go "wow! that's amazing!" I have been many times for lunch, dinner and now brunch. Typically their menu stretches from southwestern/middle eastern seasoning to california/"new" american if you can call it that. They do make inventive dishes with seasonal veggies, root veggies, hearty grains, etc. My husband noted that they don't use a lot of mushrooms, which he prefers since he's not a 'shroom fan. I can safely say that the only thing on the menu I don't particularly care for is the bean salad, which is more due to the fact I don't care for the texture (a little tough, my own issue, not theirs). Major positives: anything you get will be very well balanced. Their food is so perfectly seasoned that each portion of the plate blends seamlessly with the next. I am being vague because I realize I have had so many dishes there I can't come up with a favorite. Portions are also generous but they will box it up for you. The food will also be BEAUTIFULLY presented so you almost feel ashamed to mess up their artfully balanced garnishes. Also, the desserts are deliciously decadent. As in, if you have a sweet tooth, you might want to rethink if your dining companions are WORTH sharing with ;-) Minor negatives: It is SMALL. Make reservations! That means it can also get quite LOUD. Neither of these things take away from the fact it is hands down one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten in.

    How did more than a year of being vegan in Glenside pass without me going to Blue Sage? Fortunately I have already been there twice in this Autumn of '13 and it is a great find for suburban vegans. The Buddha tacos are a light healthy meal with a spicy peanut taste. Erin M has a usual after just two visits, the Pan Bagna sandwich. I have loved the few bites of it I have stolen while she was admiring beautiful-looking dishes coming out of the kitchen. We have had the Hazelnut Toffee Basket dessert which I highly recommend. Blue Sage is on its' game. And they are cheap too! Food that absolutely contends with Vedge at a much cheaper price point.

    From the moment you walk in the staff instantly make you feel welcome and at home. The Waitress was very helpful in recommending dishes as this was our first time. The prices were reasonable and our food arrived quickly. P.S. The Goat Cheese Nachos are a must!!!! The food was excellent which for me was unexpected. I never knew vegetarian food could be so full of flavor. I will definitely be going back and soon. If your going on a weekend night, make reservations as the place fills up quickly.

    There are not many places I would give a five star rating too, but this place was simply out of this world. I'm vegetarian, but my husband is not, and we both absolutely LOVED it. We try a lot of restaurants and we are really kind of critical, and this place was all around fabulous. Despite every table being taken on this Saturday night, the hostess and wait staff were completely accomodating, friendly, and knowledgable, the music and atmosphere were great, and the food was UNBELIEVABLE. Our waiter knew everything about the dishes and was able to answer all of our questions perfectly. We shared the goat cheese nachos as an appetizer and they were just SOOOO fantastic and the order was huge....we were actually a little too full for our meals after sharing it. I loved them so much, I might just get that as my meal next time. These were not your average nachos--they were blue chips with amazing sauce on top, fresh corn, and the flavor was just divine. For my entree I ordered the "Blue Plate" which is designed to be like a "meat & potatoes" meal, and it was so incredible---portabello on skewers, with a mouth watering potato mash and a beautiful grilled avodado succotash salad...it was all SO perfect. My husband ordered the empanadas, which was served on the same plate with a dazzling and colorful tomato, avocado, and fig thing in a marinade which was just out of this world. I think there were some kind of white beans of edamames in there too....everything was just so creatively presented, flavorful, and so fresh. It is like they tend to every minute detail in the kitchen...just absolute perfection. Oh, and don't be put off at all that this restaurant is in a little strip mall. They have done a beautiful job making the space warm and comfortable. We live over an hour from the Blue Sage and we will definitely take the ride there on a regular basis. If you are in the area, grab a bottle of wine and DO NOT miss this amazing veg experience. Actually, the veg is sort of a footnote here...the food is just top notch. Easily a five star rating!

    Blue Sage is the ideal spot. I am vegetarian, but both omnivores & vegans can find outstanding & delectable choices on this menu. You know it's a great restaurant when, although you're excited about what you ordered, you have a tinge of regret that there were so many other fabulous items that will just have to wait 'til next time. The only unfortunate thing is that no options were organic. However, although organic & local ingredients are very important to me, the food could not have been more delicious. So, Blue Sage, it would be wonderful to see you phase into local & organic on your creatively wonderful menu. Delightful experience (both food & staff). Every item we ordered was divine. There is something for everyone here!

    When it comes to restaurants in my area, few are as wonderful and unique as the Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. As a non-vegetarian, I was hesitant when I was first dragged here by a group of my vegan friends. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I received my meal. While I am often judgmental of restaurants, I can find few things to criticize when it comes to the Blue Sage. The staff, although small in number, are always pleasant and friendly. The decor of the small dining room is classy, but with a modern twist on casual gourmet. Even to a non-vegetarian, the food is spectacular. I have never been disappointed by anything I have eaten here. The dishes are different from entrees you would find anywhere else. I must admit that I was initially intimidated by the menu. Many of the ingredients in the meals were unfamiliar to me. Even the appetizers and desserts are wonderfully unique. Don't come to this restaurant with preconceived notions of fake meat and soy products. No shortcuts are taken in the creations of these dishes, and the effort really shows. The food is presented as one would show off a fine painting, and it almost pains the diner to ruin the perfect meal before him. One might expect that a vegetarian restaurant would skimp out on portions, but they would quickly be proven wrong as the entrees are quite massive in size. I sometimes find that I have to bring my leftovers home with me, which almost never happens. Every time I drive by this restaurant, the parking lot is always full, and with good reason. If you are looking for a great place to bring a date, or a group of friends, you can't do much better than the Blue Sage.

    This place is great. I honestly am at a loss for words! The food is so good at Blue Sage that you forget you're not eating any meat. Every time that my boyfriend and I go, we always get the Blue Corn & Asparagus Tacos and the Quesa Havana. They are amazing! One word of advice: GET RESERVATIONS!! Reservations are a MUST any night of the week. This place is tiny and fills up very fast. People usually stay for long time, which means the turnover is quite slow.

  • S M.

    I am not a vegetarian, but enjoy Blue Sage very much. It has unique food and lots of options. The nachos are amazing, as is the mushroom risotto. I would give it 5 stars, but the service is SLOW. Even with a reservation we wait quite a while every time.

  • Chas Z.

    Everything I've ever had from here has been excellent. I could each the nachos every day! They also have amazing desserts! The staff has always been friendly, the atmosphere pleasant, the meals excellent, and I have never felt rushed or had a meal take too long. They are BYOB, which is nice, too. I was afraid to take my 1 year old to dinner, but it was not an issue. She loved the food, and the other customers were super friendly towards us. My only complaint is that they are sometimes really busy, and being a small place, they can't have space for everyone, but that's why you phone ahead or make reservations for common busy days or holidays. Overall, I love this place, and I can't wait to try their brunch now that they started it on Sundays!

    I would recommend the Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille to vegetarians and meat lovers alike. We started with the Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos. Holy shit, best freaking nachos EVER! The heaping pile of blue corn tortilla chips, topped with adobo black beans, corn, oven-dried cherry tomatoes, and creamy roasted onion goat-monchego queso, was devoured in record time. For dinner, we decided to split two entrees, the Blue Plate and the Sonoma Sampler. The Blue Plate - pine nut crusted, roasted garlic glazed portobello skewers, smoked sweet potato mash with grilled avocado succotash salad - was quite good. The Sonoma Sampler - tabouleh grain salad topped with grilled pita and hummus, guacamole, and sesame eggplant spread - was tasty, but not quite what I was expecting. Lastly, for dessert we enjoyed the White Chocolate Expresso Creme Brulee and Green Mountain organic coffee. I've since been back with a larger party for my birthday and had the opportunity to try a few more dishes. The Mushroom Risotto was very good, but far too rich for me. I was able to sample my friend's Macadamian-crusted Black Bean Cakes, which were awesome, as was the Asian Beet and Pear soup and the Corn Chowder. An inventive menu, fresh ingredients, and creative presentation make for a unique dining experience in Bucks County. The restaurant itself is very small, so reservations are necessary. BYOB.

    I freaking love this place. Its tiny and crowded, but the food is so worth it. I had a fried green tomato sandwich and my boyfriend had falafel. Mine was absolutely perfect and his falafel was the best he had anywhere (and he has had it everywhere). We asked the waitress if it was made with chickpeas or favas (or both) and she said they used chickpeas and red lentils. I'll be trying that next time I make them. The one drawback of feeling like the people sitting next to me can't help but eavesdrop on every word I say due to the tight quarters isn't enough to keep me away. The food is way too good.

    The blue corn tacos are amazing! So are the spring rolls, and the nachos, and the portobello skewers and the desserts... I could go on forever. I have only been here a couple of times but it is always well worth the schlep. It's the kind of make-you-wanna-lick-your-plate-clean good! Seriously. Go there.

  • Zanna H.

    If you want to try this restaurant I strongly recommend a reservation. Their dining area is incredibly small and so it fills up fast. All of the food was beautifully plated. The ingredients were fresh and the dishes were very hearty. I enjoyed everything except the desserts which were overly sweet. The small dining room made the service difficult and we were at a table in the middle of the room near the entrance so we constantly felt trampled. This place would be awesome if they expanded the size of the room.

  • Whitney A.

    This my absolute favorite restaurant. We've been going there for years. Consistently delicious food and the service is always outstanding. You may need to wait a little after placing your order, but it's so worth it. Bring a bottle of wine and order the goat cheese nachos- they are the best. The soup is always great and the desserts are too... although I rarely have enough room left to order any. Play it safe and call ahead for reservations.

    Blue Sage and Horizons are probably the two essential vegetarian restaurants in the Philadelphia area. You gotta go to both. The food in both places is equally good. But there ARE some differences. The menu at the Blue Sage features dishes without meat substitutes such as seitan and tofu. Now that placates some meat-eaters that whine about tofu like it's something to avoid. But the non-meat substitute approach is also a chance for some real creativity. And this restaurant features some incredibly creative dishes. We shared the Wild Mushroom Risotto and the Green Curry Shepherd's Pie. Both dishes were outstanding. The Green Curry Shepherd's Pie featured vegetables such as squash in an really tasty curry sauce that was spicy without being overbearing. The risotto was a real treat with several different types of mushrooms in arborio rice with some goat's cheese. Yum. And oh yeah. The soups here are great. We had an Indonesian soup to start which was so good we took home a beet soup to have for lunch the next day. The beet soup came with a wasabi/sour cream combination that was a perfect addition. The service here was very professional and helpful. It was nice to see a server who obviously loved the food and could make helpful recommendations. As far as atmosphere, Horizons is more romantic and the tables are much more private. Blue Sage is more cramped and informal and the tables are close together. But Blue Sage is BYOB while Horizons isn't. Someone at the table next to us said "if we could have this kind of food everyday we'd be vegetarians too." So this restaurant seems to be appealing to meat eaters too.

    Absolutely THE BEST food I've ever eaten. I've taken my meat-eating friends to this place and instantly converted them into a veg*n lifestyle. They couldn't believe that eating veg*n could be so tasty and satisfying. I just wish the chefs at Blue Sage would put out a cookbook of sorts. They are so talented and their food never fails to impress! I've tried practically everything on the menu(s) so far and there hasn't been one thing I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. :)

    4.5 out of 5. Wonderful little vegetarian place, even for us carnivorous. No over reliance on soy here, no tofu to "replace" meat, none of that at Blue Sage. No, here the dishes and vegetarian because they where meant to be vegetarian in there inception. The Chef manages to blend Cuban, Indian, Middle Eastern (Iranian?) and Mediterranean cuisines into something wonderful all on its own. His use of cheese amazed me when i tried the Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos, the monchego works SO well it makes you question your taste buds. I would highly recommend it, along side with the Sonoma Sampler w/ the goat cheese. Be warned, reservations are a must at Blue Sage, seeing how it is tiny, and expect to wait 15 min for your order to come out of the kitchen when its crowded. (made from scratch though) This place is perfect for a romantic dinner but it is pricey and a bit noisy. I would suggest finding a Cafe elsewhere and having coffee and desert there afterwords seeing how the DESSERTS ARE HORRIBLE. Fair warning! P.S. Maybe a BYO, don't know.

  • Amy H.

    First: I concur with the other reviewers - make a reservation. They also do take-out, though, and they give the food to you in great reusable containers. My office-mates and I did take-out lunch from there all the time, and it never fails to please. I'm a meat lover, and I still found lots of goodies on the menu. I don't generally like meat-substitutes like tofu, and, delightfully, they stay away from using that stuff - they embrace the vegetable and cheese world, and do it creatively. For the first-time diner, if you're nervous about some of the descriptions or you're a bit more conservative in your tastes, try the Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos - they're cheesy and incredible. Or, my absolute favorite, the Fingerling Potato Salad. It's not "potato salad" in the usual sense - it's a big serving of mixed greens with grilled tiny fingerling potatoes, goat cheese, AWESOME candied pecans, sauteed onions and more - ask for the Pear Walnut dressing. You won't be disappointed. If you're eating in the restaurant, be prepared to wait a little for your food. They do, however, try to keep you happy with bring appetizers quickly. It's not so much about the ambiance - they're all about the food. A word of warning: I've seen a few people react with serious heartburn after their food, so if you've got a sensitive stomach or are thinking of taking an older relative here, be sure to try something mild or you'll get a very rich and/or oily, albeit delicious, meal. Overall, pretty great. For a vegetarian joint. ;)

    Blue Sage is a GREAT restaurant. It is EXCELLENT. They make creative, delicious, mouth-watering dishes that leave you craving more. Don't go and expect a plate of carrots - they are well beyond that. Even carnivores love this place!

    Though I am not a vegetarian, my meals at Blue Sage Grille have been some of the best I've ever eaten. The unique aspect of Blue Sage Grille is that they don't fall back on the "fake meat" band-wagon that so many vegetarian restaurants do. As an omnivore, biting into tofu where I'd normally get meat is pretty much always a downer, but at Blue Sage Grille, the food is designed to be focused on vegetables from start to finish. A large contingent of the dishes at Blue Sage are of south-western or Asian inspiration but they are not simply familiar recipes minus the meat. The staff at Blue Sage have concocted a menu of interesting and creative entrees that utilize fresh vegetables, grains, and legumes in a variety of ways. I've yet to get a dish that has disappointed me. The menu changes from time to time (they don't have the Chinese 5-spice dumplings anymore), but I hope they never get rid of the BBQ Summer Rolls because I could inhale those things non-stop if given the opportunity. The food has always been beautifully presented and the service impeccable. The servers are educated in the cuisine and can offer great recommendations and the pace of the meal has always been spot-on. One other aspect that I enjoy about Blue Sage Grille is that since it is a rather small dining room, it is easy to strike up a conversation with the diners next to you. This restaurant seems to attract a rather eclectic clientele and several times we've met and talked to very interesting people about topics ranging from baseball to local politics. If you find yourself in Lower Bucks County, go to Blue Sage Grille and treat yourself to one of the best dining experiences in the area.

    This place is the BEST. Hands-down. I would go to this place any day of the week, any time of day...it's that good. The menu is unique, unpretentious, and accessible for even the most carnivorous. I have eaten here a number of times, and had dinner there again last night. All of the food I have eaten there has a terrific balance of flavor, and you can tell that they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Everything in the quesa I ate last night seemed so simple; yukon gold potatoes, caramelized onions, cheese, carrot reduction, tomato pesto, etc. but the flavor combinations were amazing. I don't know how they do it. And if you go, go hungry so you can have dessert. Their desserts are to die for. I highly recommend the Chocolate panini. Blue Sage is a BYOB, and is really small, so definitely make a reservation.

  • Jesse B.

    Even as a non-vegetarian: this place rocks! The restaurant is small and parking sometimes tight, but it is never to the point that it is a problem. BE SURE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT. Cozy setting+BYOB+good quality food+good service=be sure to try this place out. I LOVE meat and I still eat here a lot. Portion sizes are on the average to large side. My favorite dish is the nachos(can be a meal in itself). You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Among the very best of the best vegetarian cuisine I've found anywhere, including SF, LA, Seattle, San Diego, NYC. Everything I tried was superb. It's a bit of trek to get there but well worth it.

  • Emily A.

    Vegetarian or not, it is sure to make anyone happy who goes there. This is a small byob where they serve some really tasty food. The entrees and the deserts are both out of this world! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat! Now, if I could only learn to cook like this. The only thing that prevents me from going here more often is that it is a little bit of a hike-- way out there in Southampton. Lucky ducks who live close by!

  • Jason F.

    The best restaurant I've ever seen. Anywhere. We went pretty much every week for the three years we lived there. We've since moved away, but we will drive hours out of our way to come back here whenever possible. Some of our favorites are the corn and potato chowder and asian beet soup, goat cheese nachos, spinach fresco salad, and macadamia nut cakes. Desserts are all spectacular, favorites are the chocolate panini and snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich. Make reservations, though...it's always packed...and make sure to get some take-out soup for the road!

    Wow! This place is delicious! As a life long vegetarian I have to rate their food at the top of my list! The Roasted Beet Sliders, are a unique twist and sooo good! The only trouble we had was trying not to over order. We had appetizers, soup, and entrees left no room for desert. Indonesian peanut soup was so flavorful and highly recommended, although it may be a special.

  • Amy K.

    One of my favorite places! I always loved coming here for dinner, but this past Sunday I tried their brunch for the first time. Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go back! It was $18/ person for 2 course meal and coffee. Great deal. It does fill up fast so I definitely recommended making reservations.

    This is my favorite Vegetarian restaurant! Its also the only vegetarian restaurant I go to. I'm not vegetarian but I would be if I could eat here everyday! The food is just so awesome and so creative! I love it! The only reason I give 4/5 stars is because the Buddha tacos recipe got changed. I used to order this often but I no longer can anymore, it tastes so different now and not in a good way. Order the Tartare and the Blue LT though as they are phenomenal. Also the Brunch is amazing! Highly recommend the Blue Corn Johnnycakes!

  • Mitsothea T.

    The food is awesome here. I went with some hardcore meat eaters and they absolutely loved it. They didn't even miss the meat and thought that if there was meat added to their dishes, the food probably will not be the same.

  • Beka P.

    Vegans beware. They gave us dairy cheese instead of vegan cheese, and at least one item was incorrectly labeled as dairy-free. Some of our food was so under-cooked, it was inedible. Huge disappointment, not worth the drive from the city.

  • Haley D.

    I'm a vegetarian & live in Bucks County so I'm very pleased to have such a delicious & innovative vegetarian option close-by. The waitstaff is always friendly & I've enjoyed all of my food there. However, the close proximity of the tables against the wall (Sitting right next to a complete stranger talking about their love life? No thanks!) really bothers me and keeps me from frequenting this place more often.

  • Kylie F.

    The grilled plaintain appetizer is huge and delicious! Definitely share worthy. I love the fact it is BYO as well. Additionally, the staff were all very friendly. The mushroom risotto was a little average though - the pureed sweet potato/pumpkin? gave it a baby food vibe. Regardless, very decent eatery out in the Burbs if you're local - not sure I'll make the trek from Philly again but glad I tried it.

  • Steve N.

    One of the nation's best vegetarian restaurants (yeah, it's better or as good as the Candles in NYC, Mother's in Austin, etc; I think I go to enough veg places to have such an opinion). Enough said. The other reviewers nailed it. Vital - make a booking, even to dine alone.

    Tucked away in a forgotten strip center somewhere in the hamlet of Southampton sits THE BEST VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!!!! And no, smart-ass, this isn't THE ONLY one I've ever been to. If you are like me and love vegetables so much that if it weren't for meat being soooooooooooo good, you could be vegetarian then this is the place for you. Oh yeah, all of you that live the meatless life will love it too. See Blake F.'s post for the rest of my review (you stole my food porn reference!) Seriously, I can't be any more plain about this. Blue Sage is one of the best restaurants I've been to all year.

  • Tito B.

    Great food, HORRIBLE SERVICE. If I was rating the food alone, I'd give it 4 stars. If I was rating the service alone, I'd give it 0 stars. It makes me sad that a place with so much potential allows its employees to be so rude to customers. When we walked in, despite the restaurant having 4 open tables, the hostess accosts us at the front hallway. She then proceeds to ignore us and stare at her clipboard for A FULL MINUTE before acknowledging our existence. Once she did decide to look at us, she said "you can wait an hour and a half to be seated or get takeout". Being that I really wanted to try the food, I opted for take out. She then handed me menus and walked away. We had to flag someone down to order, and were then directed to stand in front of the kitchen door to order and wait. So the waiters were having to walk around us to enter and exit the kitchen and it was super awkward and uncomfortable. I excused myself and meandered back to the entryway, where another 2 tables got up and left. There were now 6 open tables, with no one in them. Okay. The food was indeed good. We ordered beet sliders to start, those were very tasty. Then I had the pan bagna, which was very, very, very good, and my partner in crime had the empanadas, which I really did not care for at all. So 2 out of 3 dishes were very good, but after being treated so poorly, I just had such a bad taste in my mouth that I can't help but have bad feelings about Blue Sage. A pair of ladies walked in while we waited for the takeout and got the same bad treatment from the hostess. They left and went somewhere else for dinner. It's a shame because a vegetarian restaurant serving good food is something I want to support but given how I was treated, I just can't give them a thumbs up.

    I cannot tell you enough how amazing this place is. Since being introduced to it by a family member, my partner and I we go every birthday, valentines day (and whatever other celebration that comes our way or that we can make up as an excuse to go).The portions are huge and we have never had a bad meal there. The descriptions on the menu sound strange and sometimes can turn off newbies from knowing what to order ...because things taste so much better than they sound there. But we get the fingerling salad to split, an order of sliders, the asparagus tacos, the hazelnut toffee basket for dessert and have recently fallen in love with their carnival squash entree. The nachos are also unbelievable. Those are just some of our regular picks if you want to check this place out too. We like to bring our other family and friends here to surprise them at how epic a vegetarian restaurant can be! And of course, give us another reason to go again. :) OH YEAH and this place is BYOB too!!!

    As a vegetarian in the Philly suburbs, I want to love Blue Sage. I've eaten there a handful times and had two things I like. Sadly, the bahn mi is off the menu, as is the green curry shepherd's pie. I haven't really liked the other things I've tried. The portions, though huge, are cheesy and heavy. This is probably what appeals to the omnivores who sing the praises of Blue Sage. My main problem with this restaurant is the service. Last Friday, we had a reservation and the hostess told us our table would be ready in a few minutes. She disappeared, and none of the wait staff stopped by, and we waited for more than 30 minutes. Apparently, the open table we were eyeing was being held for someone else and they were waiting on someone to finish dessert and open a table for us. The hostess didn't seem apologetic, she didn't notify us that "a few minutes" would be upwards of half an hour, and she didn't check in. When I saw my favorites weren't on the menu, and I didn't know how much longer I would have to wait, we left. I want to give them one more chance, but I'm not sure I can. Maybe one night after a couple shots of whisky, we'll get back together for one last night. But then I'll wake up and realize I'm better off not trying to make this relationship work.

    Excellent service. Food is absolutely fantastic for enticing your taste buds. Definitely try the soups (tomato was my favorite), nachos with goat cheese, and the falafel wrap. The ranger cookie sandwich was really good but I felt like I needed a glass of milk or vanilla gelato instead to handle the sweetness. By far the best veggie food I've had in a while.

    The Blue Sage was a treat. We went for a networking lunch, myself and another woman. We really enjoyed it! It is very cramped in there, but luckily, we went at 2pm and it was clearing out quite a bit. The server was very plucky and fun. She was also on top of her job which is refreshing. My companion had the Asian citrus salad and she thought it was really fresh and very tasty. I had the sliders, which were delish! I also had the blue corn tacos, again not disappointed!!! I totally recommend stopping by this little hidden gem.

    EXCELLENT!!! as a non meat eater I must say I love that this restaurant promotes using veggies as veggies and not turning them in to "faux" meats. Their soups are excellent, pick up some when your ordering to go and bring it home! This is a BYOB, and make a reservation, its small and fills up quick!

    This is among the very best vegetarian restaurants I've been to anywhere. The chef's attention to detail in crafting each dish and each sauce was extraordinary. I only wish it were closer!

    I have been to Blue Sage a couple of times each year since the restaurant opened (it's about 40 minutes from my house, so it's a special occasion to drive out there) and have been consistently pleased with my experiences. I always look forward to a great meal there for a reasonable price (Blue Sage is a BYO, so it's easy to get away with a meal for two for less than $50). I haven't had a meal at Blue Sage that I didn't enjoy. I'm an omnivore and love chicken wings, burgers, and steaks as much as the next girl, but you just don't miss the meat at Blue Sage. The food is delicious and creative. Don't get hung up on the ingredients on the menu -- they do a great job of blending flavors and textures, so if you don't know what it is, rest assured, you'll probably like how it fits in the dish. They have entrees ranging from tacos and quesadillas to wraps and risotto. They also tend to have great specials and the most amazing soups (which are available to be taken home with you, by the quart, I believe). The soups come in a huge bowl, so if you plan to make soup a part of your meal, choose something on the lighter side (like an appetizer) for your main course. The entrees in general are huge, so nine times out of ten you ended up taking some food home for the next day. My biggest (only) gripe about Blue Sage is that the restaurant itself is a little cramped. They have had a full house each night I've gone there (definitely make a reservation -- we have not had much luck with walk-ins), and because space is at a premium, there is often a spillage of waiting patrons from the entryway into the eating area resulting in some awkward bumps and what not. During my last visit there my friend kept getting her purse knocked off her chair. There just isn't any spare space and it gets kind of cramped at times. With all of that said, the food is so good, it's worth that minor aggravating aspect to enjoy a delicious vegetarian meal in the 'burbs.

    Five Stars? Yes. De-licious! I've never seen so many ingredients listed for menu items. Someone is having lots of fun experimenting in the kitchen with flavor combinations using creative oils, glazes and sauces.. The beet sliders are amazing - meaty, sweet, hearty - on perfect little brioche buns with micro-greens and a rich, creamy, green goddess dressing. The miso ramen was nothing like the Japanese version that I'm familiar with. This was a delicate broth - not salty at all - chocked full of exquisitely cooked, bite-sized vegetables (beets, green cauliflower). The surface liquid had been frothed up to a creamy foam - delightful! Sadly, no room for dessert. There will be a next time, oh, yes.

    This place is heaven. Amazing, fresh ingredients pieced together to make delicious seasonal meals. I order takeout almost every week and am always very impressed. The amount of food per meal is on the heavy side, but fits the price and it always keeps well. The corn potato chowder is the best soup I've had in the area. If you dine in, it's rather tight, but the food makes up for it.

  • Michael H.

    Almost everything I've tried here has been unbelievably good. It's not just "good for vegetarian food" it's amazing food period. Most vegetarian places I've tried I would say that the food could be better if they just used meat, but that is definitely not the case here. So many of the dishes have greens, squashes, nuts and other veggies I've never even heard of. It is our new tradition to go here as many times as we can everytime we come back to the area to visit family. My favorites are the grilled cheese with amazing tomato bisque and the blue-LT. The last time we went the wife got the crispy kale salad and that was delicious and impressively hearty as well. The only comment I would make is that the service is friendly but they often seem slightly overworked. Don't be surprised if there is a bit of a wait for orders to be taken and the check to arrive. It can also get quite noisy in there, which makes it tough to have a quiet conversation.

    I had a date and Blue Sage and my favorite part was being able to eat ANYTHING off the menu!!! I loved not worrying about hidden bacon and things! The food was very good. We ordered a bunch of yummy stuff! The Yukon Quesadilla is what I had, and it was good, but a little greasy. Even my meat-loving bf loved this place! The only bad points were the greasiness and the tightness in the restaurant.

    This is one of those places I keep going back to when I want to treat myself. I recommend getting a reservation because the place tends to be crowded (including on weekdays, early & late in the evenings). I have never ordered anything here that I didn't like. I am an omnivorous foodie. This place is great for any foodie. The dishes are not trying to fake meat flavor & texture, they are just great for what they are: vegetarian. Lots of vegan options as well. I highly recommend this place. I have pretty much taken my entire social circle here at some point. Some specific things I like here: Carnival, Nachos, Blue Plate, Poblano, all desserts...

  • Bob C.

    I have been there a few times the food was really good. But on weekends you should make a reservation as you could be waiting a long time for a table. It is good to make a reservation no matter when you go as they are always very busy. Love the place and the food.

  • Oren L.

    The Food is excellent. However I will have to deduct a star or 2 for there service. There takeout is always slow. If you call and they say 30 mins make sure to get there 15-20 mins later. Otherwise you will be standing around. A good rule of thumb is whenever they say a time add 20 mins to that. While I like the food the wait is very annoying it would help if they gave accurate times. I have never ordered there and it has actually been ready in 30 mins as opposed to most places where it is. Please stop giving the same ballpark answer.

    WHO KNEW??? When my friend told me we were going to celebrate another friend's birthday at a vegetarian restaurant, the first thing I did was invite her over for a cheesesteak a few hours before going to Blue Sage. I was determined not to starve at this party. I have this mental allergy to most veggies, and gourmet or not, I was DREADING this meal. I'm sorry I made my fears so vocal to the group we went with, because in the end, I ended up taking a lot of ribbing (pardon the carnie pun) from my group, as they took turns photographing me with various plates of delicious vegetarian appetizers and entrees. Who knew that vegetarian meals could be so wonderful? Yes, I can hear many of you yelling at this post...."We did." But you have to understand that my vegetarian experiences have been filled with freaky things like overcooked seitan, and mushy squashy things that left me running for a burger. All that changed tonight at Blue Sage. I tentatively started by sharing a Mediterranean Sampler, with some nice sauces, and a fried plantain chip dish with something that looked like my grandmother's home made chopped liver. It turned out to be a spicy black bean dip. YUM. I even took the last plantain when nobody would eat it (no plantain left behind, you know). Then the interesting entrees started arriving...friends ordered empanadas, Thai noodle dishes, tortilla dishes and spinach wraps filled with veggies, pears, and goat cheese. They all loved their dishes, and shared. It didn't kill me, so I pressed on. I, of course, played it safe with the wild mushroom risotto. I thought I knew what risotto tasted like, but I had only been dabbling with the amateurs, it seems. Beside the two kinds of shrooms, this dish had all kinds of veggies like cubes of tender butternut squash, onions, peppers (I think) and filled with a marscapone cheese center, along with some kind of wine sauce and parm cheese shavings. It was a "party in my mouth" as they say on food tv. The only strange thing in it were these tiny half spheres of green that had a strange texture. I guess I had a perplexed look on my face because the waiter came over and said, "I can see you look a little worried. Those are what we call Brussel sprouts." Ha ha, ok so I didn't identify them right away, it was good for a laugh. The waiter said it jokingly, not meanly though. I ate 3/4 of the dish until I was just eating for sport, and then took more teasing as I mumbled to our friendly waiter, "Umm...can I take the rest to go?". I was concerned about dessert, only because I had visions of weird vegan creations that would haunt my dreams. I took the waiter aside and asked him if the salted butterscotch pudding had milk in it. He said, "Yes, but I'd be glad to list some items that are vegan." I grimaced and said,"No, you misunderstood. I just wanted to make sure there WAS milk in it.". It arrived with real whipped cream and was great. I could have even taken it a bit saltier. It also had three ginger snaps on the side. Others got blueberry crumble and also something called a ranger cookie sundae. It was a chocolate mass of goodness that had the girls moaning and squealing. I whispered to a friend, "How much more crap am I gonna have to take if I wanna come back again next month?". I should've whispered softer... more crap and photos of me with my leftovers ensued. This meal though, my veggie-fearing friends, was worth the teasing, and yes, we are planning on coming back for lunch next month. I still want a cheesesteak tomorrow, but I will never forget my wonderfully delicious, beautifully presented and served meal at the Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. Vegetables......sheesh... WHO KNEW?

    Blue Sage has been my go to place during the Lenten season for the past few years! As someone who eats meat, I had doubts about trying it initially since it's a 100% vegetarian but I was pleasantly surprised and now I'm hooked! I love the feel of this place -- it's very charming. It's pretty small so I recommend that you make a reservation especially if you plan to go on a Friday or Saturday evening. Please also note that it's BYOB and the dessert menu changes occasionally. The adobo goat cheese nachos are a must try! I also recommend the black bean soup, the mediterranean sampler, the blue corn asparagus tacos, and the falafel wrap. The only dish that I tried, which I'm not fond of is the wild mushroom risotto.

  • Elena C.

    Wow. I can get behind any restaurant that makes me forget I'm a card-carrying carnivore. I had the El Fino wrap. Holy (not) cow. The tortilla was grilled so it was slightly crunchy and warm. The salad was fresh and perfectly complimented by gorgonzola, pecans, pears, and caramelized onion mayo. It was served alongside a huge salad with beet matchsticks, orange wedges, craisins, and a delicious pear walnut vinaigrette. T got the Blue L T, a take on a BLT. I think the star of his sandwich which featured avocado, yellow tomato, and maytag bleu cheese was the asiago "bacon" which added crunch and such amazing flavor. Service was great (she gave us lunch and dinner menus to take home to peruse) and we will DEFINITELY be back for dinner because I need to get that mushroom risotto.

    Blue Sage makes me think about vegetables and vegetarian eating in a whole new way. The dishes are incredibly creative, colorful, and most importantly, delicious. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is warm (and sometimes a bit loud as it seems to always be packed, and the tables are close together). At first I thought the prices were high for vegetarian food, but it makes sense when you see the portions and the creative sauces and ingredients. You can easily make 2 meals out of what you order. My favorite menu items so far have been the Plantains appetizer, the soups (I've had tomato and pumpkin I think), the Sonoma Sampler, and the Sliders. I'm already looking forward to my next visit when I am hoping to save room to try a dessert - so glad to have stumbled upon this restaurant which is now in my top 5!

    It amazes me how delicious everything is. I am not a vegetarian but my nephew is; so we recently had dinner there with him. I could not believe that vegetarian food could be so good. I would definitely go back. Atmosphere and quality of food was outstanding.

    My sister raves about this place so when I was in the area I decided to try it. I arrived at 4:55pm on a Saturday and was told that I couldn't be accommodated without a reservation. Anyone who is/was in the restaurant business knows that you can turn a single diner in 30 minutes. I guess the blue hairs that were in there must tip well since they can afford to turn away business. Next time a new person walks in realize that you have a chance to build new business. I won't be returning.

    I'm a meat eater but I like me some vegetarian. In my opinion, the Blue Sage could easily command a space in the likes of Rittenhouse Square but chooses to be at home in a small strip mall. (I'm glad for that). It is a small restaurant with maybe 10 tables or so. Seating can be cramped but no problem with me (we are used to that from our Center City stomping grounds). The inside has a neutral/relaxing tone. I am glad they don't have a ton of 'mock this and mock that' dishes that try to replicate meat (don't get me wrong, I like tofu, seitan, etc.). They are BYOB. They have some vegan options. We both like the dinner and lunch offerings. The food is really creative, nice presentation, good portions. Nothing is over-salted/over-sauced. From what I can see, it looks like a lot of the locals place orders for pick-up/take-home as well. The servers have always been great. They make killer homemade soups. They serve semi-thick; purée style soups in nice size bowls that are delicious. (so much so, that we will sometimes reserve a $10.00 quart of soup for take-home later before we begin to order our food from the server). I was hesitant at first but the 'Black Bean' soup is delish'. The also serve soups such as 'Thai Carrot bisque' and 'Spiced Indonesian & Sweet Potato'...... you get the drift.... yum - yum. Sometimes we will just order a bunch of appetizers. I actually like going for lunch over dinner sometimes because I like the sandwiches so much. A few samplings of things we like: The 'Mediterranean Sampler', 'Porto Cubano' & the 'Poblano'. We also like the 'El Fino' wrap and the 'Falafel' Gyro amongst many other selections. We love this place and will continue to return when we are in the area.

    Beautiful looking food, tasty as could be. Not light or "spa-like," this food is rich and flavor-filled. blini were great, as was the veggie risotto. i'd say the dessert (the chocolate mousse with some kind of very sweet cookie and candied pecans was just OK and certainly not novel, but everything else rocked.

    I love Blue Sage. I'm definitely not a vegetarian, but you really don't miss the meat in their dishes. Most recently I went for lunch on a Saturday, and ordered the crispy plantains with the sesame hummus and wasabi crema. It was really good, but very filling. I could only eat about half. All of their dishes are really quite large portions, and the veggies really fill you up so keep that in mind when ordering. An appetizer and an entree is definitely enough for two people. Raspberry iced tea was also delicious.

  • Adam P.

    Let's face it: Blue Sage is really, really good. I normally hate eating vegetarian (serious carnivore over here), but I'm always down for a meal at Blue Sage and have never been disappointed after several visits. My last trip included a round of their nachos (again, normally not a big fan but these were AWESOME), the exotic mushroom risotto (huge, rich, super complex, tons of 'shrooms), and the key lime 'cake' (my least favorite item of the night, still tasty though). Prices aren't exorbitant by any means, especially considering the gargantuan portions they hook you up with. We had to wait longer than I'd like for water refills, but our waiter was pleasant enough otherwise that I could almost overlook this pet peeve of mine. The blue plate is also delicious albeit the most expensive entree on the menu, and the quesadillas are a really good bang-for-your-buck if they're your thing. I'll be back for sure. Apparently they do take-out soup too?

    I grew up in this area and never knew of Blue Sage's existence until they were featured in Philadelphia Magazine for their sliders a few years back. (This was just on the brink of "sliders" popularity) Both were new to me and I headed over the next weekend to give Blue Sage a try. I must say, dining vegetarian and trying funky new things was DEFINITELY not my style but I was incredibly impressed and delighted. I then referred the spot to my parents.. mom was a little curious but skeptical.. dad (a big guy) raised on meat and potatoes was fearful the "froo-froo vegetarian food" wouldn't even fill a cavity for him. They too were impressed, delighted and stuffed! Sweet, cozy spot, amazing food, friendly staff and more food than I can usually handle. Can't wait to go back again!

    If you're a vegetarian, this is the place to go, and if you're not it's the place to take someone who isn't so they can see that you don't need meat to have a delicious meal. The soup here is amazing, and I have never had a bad meal. My only complaint is that it is small and it gets very loud. The tables are very close together, so don't plan on having a private conversation. Come here to eat, and you will enjoy yourself.

    They need to open up another 10 restaurants to fit all the clientele they have at Blue Sage. Truly delicious and offbeat gourmet vegetarian cuisine. The asparagus tacos and chocolate toffee buttercream are my favorite. Truly amazing. I am probably going to ask them to cater my wedding when the day comes. Seriously.

  • Akshay M.

    When I suggested Blue sage to my cronies for celebrating a b'day dinner for our resident veggie friend, there was a lot of frowns and groans, as we were wandering into uncharted territories, as the concept of a vegetarian grill was quite foreign to us. It was quite a hike to get to this place, which is nicely tucked in a quiet corner of southhampton, PA. The place isn't that big either so make sure u have a reservation, we were 10 of us in the group and were glad we got seated without much delay. The decor is quaint, and the wait staff is extremely polite. Although I think there was only one waitress at the helm, she certainly did well at keeping all the tables without too much lag. Also Special brownie points for being a BYO. As we perused the menu, the crowd was getting a bit antsy with the lack of meat, but all the unrest was quelled as soon as the appetizers arrived. We had the mediterranean sampler which was probably the one that received the most adulations. The Asparagus Blue corn taco and the adobo goat cheese Nachos were also superb. Oh and the Soups were delish too. The common theme of all the food that made it's way to our table was that each ingredient was fresh, distinguishable and packed with so much taste contributing equally to the making of a stellar dish. The portion sizes were humongous too , but we just couldn't stop ordering food as we gorged on every morsel we could lay our hands on. The entrées though were a bit off, we had the Green shepherds pie curry, on which i think there was too much going on with the squashes, potatoes and couscous, the sonoma sampler was exquisite and fresh though more of a salady feel than an entree in my opinion. We also ordered the Quesa Havana which none of us had the courage to eat too much of as we were all saving ourselves for the desserts. Even though we were slipping into food coma, we fought our way through to get to the Hazelnut toffee basket and the picnic sundae. Both disappeared pretty quickly as many a battles were fought to get that one extra serving. the hazelnut was decadent and rich with flavours as it playfully lingered on my palate for quite a while. Overall, I would rate this as a four star in my book , but that one extra star is from my veggie friend who was starry-eyed at a place where we all ate like pigs, even though there wasn't any meat involved. cheers p.s: Reminds me of the Chick-Fil-A ads , i See chickens coming with a campaign of eat more veggies.

    I love, love, love this restaurant. I've been eating here at least once a year for about seven years now. I've never had a bad meal and my favorite, the blue corn asparagus tacos, are still excellent. This is great vegetarian/vegan cooking. The portions are huge and it is fun for everyone to order something different and share. If you are not into vegetarian food than you may not enjoy what the Blue Sage has to offer. The Blue Sage gets 5 stars because I've never had a bad experience. My only complaint is that it is super small so you are always jammed up on the people sittin around you and it makes for a noisy atmosphere. The kitchen can also be a little bit slow. The small dining room also makes it difficult to get into without a reservation. It is BYOB so bring a bottle of wine and relax! Definitely worth trying at least once!

  • Sammy G.

    I would probably give this place 3.5 stars if I could. The only reason I'm not crazy about it was I think that I had high expectations for it from friends and reviews- it was good, but not spectacular. I'm glad I tried it. It is very small and sometimes cramped, the picture on the website makes it seem bigger then it really is. We started off with Mediterranean Sampler, which was my favorite part. I don't think it's hummus, but whatever the green dipping sauce, it was amazing. It was my favorite part of the whole meal. I would order that and just eat that all night if I could. I got the Pad Thai (which isn't called that on the real menu) and it's good that they changed the name because it's really nothing like Pad Thai, in my opinion. I enjoyed it though. Different flavors and a small spice to it. I don't like my food drenched in a lot of sauces so I think that's what turned me off a bit. My boyfriend got the Green Curry Shepherds Pie and we thought it would be more of a solid dish, but it was more of a soup then a pie. He thought it tasted really good and I thought the same. Prices are more then I expected, but the portions are really big, a person could probably share a meal and be content with it. I think that since the portions are so big that it's okay to be that price, but it's not worth a second trip back for me. I would def recommend trying it at least once though.

    So the weirdest part about Blue Sage is it's location. You'll drive to the middle of nowhere in a strip mall and wonder where you are. As soon as you walk in, you'll change your mind. Warning tho: this place is ALWAYS full every night of the week. You will need to make a reservation a few nights in advance. As a vegetarian this place is amazing, but you cant easily be an omnivore and love the place. I highly recommend the falafel wrap. It's the size of your head, and I always have some to take home. The crunchy buddha tacos are great too. They all come with side salads with amazing homemade dressings. The staff is always very friendly, and it's BYOB. The only complaint I would have with the place is that its usually loud each time I go. This is probably because it's so tiny but it sounds more like a club then a restaurant. Oh, and hope you don't mind sitting on top of people! Also, I read a review of someone saying that the portions are small. She was apparently not at Blue Sage. I don't know how anyone could even finish their portion.

    Not a vegetarian but I love love love the wild mushroom risotto (marsala broth with shitake and oyster mushrooms with marscarpone - yum!). Get it topped with the optional goat cheese and the fingerling potato salad(roasted potatoes, onions, pecans and gorgonzola in a honey mustard dressing) along with the blue corn asparagus (asparagus with pesto and monterey jack cheese in a BLUE tortilla) tacos. All of the dishes here are pretty original, delicious, and kinda addictive. The dining room is very small but cozy, which just adds to the charm. Plus they offer sparkling cider too. Definitely stop by, even to grab a few tacos to go.

    I really don't like leaving bad reviews. I try to be a person where if I don't have something nice to say then I just won't say anything. And I wanted to at least give the Sage 3 stars, because I'm all for vegetarian restaurants, but when I moused over the 3rd star and saw the 'A-OK' next to it I felt like I'd be lying if I wrote that. I really have experienced better, which is why I gave it two stars. I've been to Blue Sage (BS) around half a dozen times since they opened roughly 15 years ago; so I've basically been there once every couple of years, most recently less than a month ago for my sister's birthday on a week night. On each visit I'm hoping to be surprised by something interesting but unfortunately that never happens. Although I can tell the menu changes a little, it seems to always be anchored by the same ethnic tour of overly complicated vegetable dishes. Mediterranean, Caribbean, Mexican, Indian, Southeast Asian - they're all represented here. But they never seem as good as when I order something from a native restaurant. For example, the last time I was at BS I ordered the vegetarian banh mi which was on the dinner special menu. It was one of the few, if not the only, dishes that had tofu and I hadn't had tofu there before so I thought I'd give it a shot. It didn't remind me much flavor-wise of the vegetarian banh mi's i've had in South or West Philly. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the deal breaker was the thing was totally greasy. Like soaked in oil. And the salad greens on the side seemed to be coated in oil too, so they weren't much of a relief. To their credit, the sandwich was at least twice the size of a typical banh mi chay, so it would have made for good leftovers if it were edible. But since it wasn't, the fact that it was double the price of the real deal as well, frankly, sucked. But this is the kind of thing that happens to me all the time at BS. Something that looks interesting on the menu arrives and is either boring, overly complicated, or just plain inedible. Sigh. Another thing about BS is that it's always totally cramped in there. On my last visit, my party of 5, having made reservations in advance, arrived on a Tuesday evening shortly after they opened and in no time flat the place was full elbow to elbow. I'm glad they're that busy, and I understand maximizing revenue. But it's really darn uncomfortable! It felt like the parties to our left and right were all sitting at the same table as us. I kinda like the idea of a communal table but only if it were optional. A lot hasn't changed in the past 15 years and I don't expect it to. This place is definitely consistent and based on the number of five-star reviews a lot of people really seem to love this place. I wish I was one of them, but I just can't get amped about it. Someone mentioned their dish being perfect and their date's falafel being the best they had anywhere. Boy do I wish I could say the same. Hope you can, too.

    easily the best vegetarian restaurant I've eaten at and will continue to eat at. Variety, BYOB, great staff.... you might even make a friend and share some wine with a neighbor since its a little tight. Nothing like great food and atmosphere to compliment a unique restaurant. I highly recommend.

    Wow. The food here is amazing. The portions are generous and the servers are friendly. My only complaint is it is quite cramped and very loud when full.

    I see that most of the other reviews are along the lines of "best meal ever," "I love it here" and so on, but honestly I was just not impressed. Waiting in the hallway to be seated for our reservation was awkward and uncomfortable- since the facility is so tiny, you are basically standing right over someone's table while waiting to be seated. So right from the start it just didn't feel right. The dining room is pretty, with salmon orange walls and a midnight blue ceiling, but the decor is uninspired. Even the menus (which I do understand since they change them quite often) are boring to look at. Reading the descriptions of the meals, however, you'll want to order one of everything. We ordered the Arancini appetizer to start which was this description: "Almond crusted green apple risotto fritters with gazpacho dipping sauce and dry aged goat cheese." YUM, right? Meh. My boyfriend thought they were great, and I was a huge fan of the gazpacho dipping sauce, but the fritters... I just couldn't place the taste. By the time they got to our table (which wasn't too long, about 10 minutes), I had totally forgotten what was supposed to be in them, and they left a weird taste. Boyfriend ordered the Rustica dish, which was a pretty pricy entree with a Quesadilla cut into 4 pieces, filled with mozzarella, tomatoes, and other yummy stuff. The rest of the place was covered in a black bean salad (which he didn't finish because it was a bit overwhelming), and arugula. I ordered some sandwich with a chick pea burger type thing (which I will definitely try to recreate). It was alright, but just kind of weird. The salad with it was uninspired. I feel like I got the short end of the stick compared to all of these other reviews!! Everything was just okay, and for the price, I expect better than "just okay." I 100% encourage the idea of this gourmet vegetarian, and maybe my vegetable palate isn't as advanced as all of these other raters. I don't think I'll be back, but since this was a place I had been wanting to go for a while, I'm glad we got the chance.

    I've been here many times. They are very consistent in their quality and service! Yummy appetizers, entrees and desserts. The chef comes up with some unusual but amazing dishes. A must try if you're in the area.

    I came for Sunday brunch a few days ago for my first visit with a friend since high school. We both had the prix fix . 1st course was the best yoghurt parfait ever! Real caramel & warm! Second course was French Toast... So big we couldn't finish. I had a Virgin Mary, spiced "just right" not too spicy & very flavorful. Wait staff attentive & with out being intrusive. Can't remember if there was music. Next time I go, it will be w hubby for dinner. It's BYO.

    If it's one thing that I love more than pizza, is an awesome vegetarian meal! My cousin had been trying to get me to come here for a while. We finally made dinner plans and I'm so glad we did. They're very creative with their dishes and everything was delicious! It's a small place but it was fully packed. Service was great too. And even better, it's BYOB! Will I return? Unquestionably yes :)

  • Matt K.

    I may be missing the point of a vegetarian restaurant, seeing as I refuse to eat salad or any vegetables that are cooked or added flavor to in any way, but I just don't see the appeal. What kind of madman eats an enormous wrap, while making it whole grain in a futile attempt at keeping it healthy? Just stay home and eat some whole wheat bread, and be disappointed for free!

  • Tom B.

    So rude. Went to dinner with my son at least eight tables that I counted open. This is around 6:30. Manager from the back came out and said no reservation we can seat you. We have more reservations coming in at 7:30. Really!!!Blue sage....he told me that he would be happy to let me order take out. Went to Oishi way better anyway. Blue Sage I have been a customer for at least ten years. That is the end! In this economy I hope you survive with your lack of skills. Customer turnover happens you will need more. LOTSA Luck!!

    Love this place! Could eat here everyday. The goat cheese nachos, corn and potato soup and pan bagna are all must haves. I have never tried something here that I didn't enjoy! Also the Sunday brunch is fabulous!

  • Rita W.

    The food is unbelievable here, but for the love of god, PLEASE EXPAND ALREADY! Sitting on top of your neighbor with tables inches apart might work in New York or LA, but not in a suburb of Montgomery County. Take out from now own because I don't feel like hearing the couple next to me argue, and the ladies on the other side of me talking about their operations. I could not hear myself think! Two waitresses should not have to get out of my way just so I can make it out the door. This place is way to cramped to enjoy yourself. I suffer because the food is that good.

    I first came here on Valentines day, I have not been to any Vegetarian Restaurant so I didn't know what to expect. I was very impressed! The food presentation was nice, the food was delicious! and the service was good. I took my sis and her daughter for the second time lunch and they loved the food. I would recommend this to my fiends and family.

    I don't typically seek out vegetarian restaurants, but we came here for lent and we had the nachos and falafel sandwich with the coconut sorbet and toffee basket. Portions are huge and food is good and filling. Its also BYOB. The restaurant is small and usually filled so make sure you make a reservation.

    Went here a couple of months ago with friends and didn't have a great experience. I received a gift certificate for my birthday and decided to give it another shot and it was terrible. Went to brunch with my friend who is a vegan and I'm a vegetarian (but I don't eat egg) thinking we would have plenty of options. So wrong. There were only a couple of options on the fixed menu but nothing that really sounded appealing, when inquiring about customizing a vegetarian option I was told they don't do that. The waiter/supervisor seemed combative and offended we wanted to try and change anything. The food itself was just too much. It felt like all the favors were trying to overpower one another and just tasted awful. The salads were just watercress which was more stems than leaf. Honestly, a lot of these options could be made vegan otherwise, I could go to any restaurant for pancakes and save myself $20. When we got the bill we were told it wasn't our bill but that it was the same price and to pay anyway. I told the guy to get our bill but he said it didn't matter since it was the same price I tried again and he wouldn't take it. Overall This place used to be something special. It used to about good vegetarian/vegan food. Somewhere along the way its ego grew too large for its britches. Would NEVER come back and I plan to steer all my friends away.

    Blue Sage is a dear friend's favorite restaurant, and as a result of our many visits there with her, we agree that it is excellent! My husband is a very proud carnivore who initially feared he would be hungry after dinner at a veg restaurant. He is a convert. Our tongues dance as our bellies fill with the deliciousness offered here. We always order the Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos (shout-out to our fellow Yelpers for the recommendation) as an appetizer and are huge fans of the Cobb Blue Salad and Mediterranean Sampler. From the Mister's perspective, no Blue Sage meal is complete without a Hazelnut Toffee Basket and coffee. With its contrasting textures and complementary flavors, it is lust-worthy. Here, I was also introduced to the joys of lavender tulsi tea (to which I am addicted during the winter months, especially when enhanced with a splash of Berenjager). As others have noted, a reservation is a must in this tiny, shoebox of a restaurant. And the waitstaff is PHENOMENAL.

  • Christopher K.

    Five stars for a vegetarian restaurant? Have I lost my mind? This is proof that I somehow managed to step into a parallel universe a few weeks ago. This carnivore wouldn't have even considered eating in a place like this back in the day. Not sure exactly when the body snatching took place or when the aliens came down and altered my DNA. But what I do know is that I ate an amazingly delicious vegetarian meal during my recent trip to Blue Sage. If you know me and are reading this, you know that the real Christopher K. has clearly been replaced by an impostor. Vegetarian food is not supposed to taste good unless you're a rabbit. Having only recently begun experimenting with better eating habits, I've been eager to seek out any remotely healthy restaurant that also has a great reputation for serving up delicious food. It's amazing how little the Yelp gives up when you do a search for healthy vegetarian food in New Jersey. It took me dragging the map all the way across the border into Bucks County, PA before finally stumbling upon the Blue Sage Grille in Southampton. I had never even heard of Southampton, but I did notice it was less than a half hour from one of my best friend's houses in Lawrenceville. Oh, and he happens to be a hardcore vegetarian and sometime vegan. Normally, I avoid eating out with this guy. Why? Because I'm shallow when it comes to food, and for years I have consistently avoided dining with anyone who is a strict veggievore, gluten-free zombie, or some other form of culinary pain-in-the-ass. You see, I like food. Real food. Meat. Red meat. Big pieces of red meat, cooked rare, bloody and still twitching on the plate. Yes sir, that's how real men eat. But not tonight. Tonight I was going to eat healthy. So I drove over an hour to experience the Blue Sage Grille, picking up my normally annoying friend on the way. It was a night that could not go wrong, especially once I saw that Gerald S. had eaten here and awarded them the coveted 5-star review. After a lovely drive on backroads through some historic part of Pennsylvania, we arrived. It was early, but it was already busy. Asked if we had a reservation, I replied no. The nice girl then explained that they were booked for the next two hours. Two hours? Sorry, toots. Wrong answer. I then mounted a brief charm offensive and we were immediately sat. It's so cliche in my opinion for a meat lover to suddenly wax poetic about an amazing dining experience in a vegetarian restaurant, but I kid you all not when I say I absolutely fell in love with everything I ate here. I will go so far as to say you cannot come here and *not* like this food, no matter what your weird food quirks may be. We started with the Classic Sliders -- Four mini brioche buns with yellow tomato and avocado relish, fontina, green tabasco aioli, and arugula. I couldn't even believe how good these were. So much flavor, wonderful textures... a total winner. And the buns themselves were probably the best slider rolls I have ever eaten. Extra points for the shoestring fries. Normally, I hate shoestring fries, but these were addictingly good. Despite the sliders putting a big dent into our appetites, we pressed on with the main course. My buddy had the Pan Bagna, a pressed sandwich starring chickpea fritters. I ordered the Blue LT -- yellow tomato, sliced avocado, crispy Asiago "bacon," pea leaves, Maytag blue cheese, and more of that green tabasco aioli, all piled high on multi-grain bread. Again, a total shocker in terms of how good it was. The crispy Asiago bacon had all the texture and flavor of bacon, but was unique enough to avoid falling into the dreaded uncanny valley. This sandwich really works. The ingredients are so incredibly fresh and delicious. I cannot recommend it highly enough. And that was it. No room for dessert. And that's a shame because each dessert coming out of the kitchen looked more amazing than the next. Have I convinced you yet? I hope so, because this was a great discovery for a non-believer, and it's well worth sharing. The one thing I will say is that while this food may indeed be healthy, it's certainly not low calorie. This is decadent vegetarian (and in some cases, vegan) food. You will not be able to finish your plate and you will indeed be full for hours. And I mean that really happy kind of full. I'll definitely be back, and this time with a reservation. :)

    I took my mom and a friend to Blue Sage Grill for Mother's day and the services was horrible and the food was not that good the only item we enjoyed is the sliders. My waitress never ask us how's the food or offer water refill. I'm so upset that my boss refer me to dine at this restaurant and my experience was bad. I wasted $90 and will never eat here again. Very disappointed in the way we were treated.

    Seriously amazing! We got mushroom buns and almond encrusted tofu tacos for apps and the Carnival (substituted cheese for cashew cream cream) for dinner. The Carnival is a butternut squash filled with black rice, walnuts, and cranberries with a side of veggies in a beat sauce. Delicious and highly recommend this place!

    I've only been here for brunch and did not have a decent time here. The service was extremely slow and my meal was a little burnt. I had an eggs benedict with this fried piece of cheese on top. I wasn't impressed I will be sure to come here again for a more extensive review

    Whenever I have friends in town, Blue Sage is at the top of my lunch destinations. It nice to have a variety of choices which offer beautifully plated offerings which can be complimented will your favorite BYO wine. The staff is pleasant and low-keyed and though a popular lunch restaurant, I never feel rushed to finish. The waiting area is quite small and the parking is sometimes a challenge but always well worth the effort. Favorites--falafel wrap, nachos, queso quesadilla but have not had a meal I didn't enjoy.

  • Jim O.

    Had heard many good things about this place and decided to give it a try. Truth be told, I am not a vegetarian and thoroughly enjoy quality meat products, but I am always looking for more vegetarian options in the hopes of reducing my animal consumption. I was promised this was the place to do it. The meal was very nicely prepared, clearly these folks cared about what they were doing. They unfortunately fall into the mistake of offering items that appear to attempt to mimic meat-based foods, and it just never works. Nothing even close in flavor. I would recommend just going with the veggies and the fun flavors they have, don't try to make the food be something it can not. Take this review with a grain of salt- I am no vegan, not a vegetarian, and enjoy my bacon. They are clearly trying very hard here and I recommend giving them a try.

  • Lauren S.

    If you out in the suburbs this place is worth a stop. The food here was delicious. The portion were large. The service was awesome. I had the blue corn asparagus tacos. Honestly they were more like mini quesadillas since the cheese was completely melted but regardless they were great. The black beans and field greens serviced with the tacos were more than generous protons. Although full I nibbled on my friends house root chips that came with the BLT. I was glad when they were taken away since I couldn't stop eating them. The only down fall beside not being close to me was it was really cold in the restaurant, not sure if something was wrong with there heat or they just hadn't put it up yet but I almost put my coat back on but I didn't want to be cold when I went outside so I decided against that.

    Been here quite a few times now, and this restaurant continues to amaze me... and I'm a meat eater! I never knew I could be so satisfied with vegetarian and vegan options alone, and I honestly don't even miss the meat when I'm here. I crave the luna buns about once a week... they're so delicious! Plus the staff is friendly, attentive and they always know the changing menu items inside and out. Definitely a local favorite!

  • Jess Z.

    This is possibly my new favorite restaurant after only two visits. I have gone for both lunch and brunch thus far, and both times the food was amazing. My boyfriend, an avid omnivore and I, a pescatarian, enjoyed all of the dishes we received. Each was extremely flavorful and did not try to imitate any meat filled dish. Instead, the focus was on fresh ingredients and spices to create a completely satisfying meal. The service is friendly and very accommodating. I cannot wait to explore the dinner menu.

  • Sharon G.

    Very good vegetarian restaurant! Many options and enough that would turn the heads of carnivores. It's casual- BYO in a strip mall- but the food is inventive and fun. Several options for the gluten-averse among us, too. Not cheap but big portions. Recommended: luna buns, falafel wrap, pineapple pancake dessert.

    I live in downtown Philadelphia and have had my fair share of high quality vegetarian and vegan food in the city. With that said, I was blown away by how good Blue Sage was! After reviewing some local spots, I visited last night for the first time with 2 other people and we were all blown away. We split the Kale Salad and an order of the new tacos on their menu for an appetizer. The salad was MASSIVE and extremely tasty (so big we had to have it boxed so we could save room for our main entree) and the tacos hit the spot with a large topping of guacamole! For entree, I got the "Chicken and Waffles" which was essentially mushrooms, waffles, a fig jam as a syrup. and plenty of other little toppings that truly brought the dish together and actually made it feel like a true chicken and waffles. My Mom got the empanadas and my girlfriend got a sort of dumpling dish. I'm sorry I can't recall the names of the dishes, but they recently changed their menu and the updated one is not online. Both of their dishes were equally as fantastic, although I wouldn't have traded my chicken and waffles for either! I'd highly recommend checking this place out, and the added bonus is that it's BYOB so you won't break the bank! Great food, good prices, great quantities! You will leave feeling full!

  • Matt H.

    Good to have a decent vegetarian joint. But unfortunately for the prices they charge per entrée ($20 and up) arent' worth it. They stuff the dishes with lowest priced veggie. So you get 90% cheap veggie in your dish and a little better veggie sprinkled on top.

    I am not a vegetarian, however I would not hesitate to become a regular if I lived in the area. Everything was absolutely delicious. Nicely seasoned, beautifully plated and overall just delightful. The service was on point as well. Be sure to make a reservation as they fill up very quickly and it's pretty small on the inside. Also, it is BYOB just as a note.

    I grew up a Vegetarian and any veggie restaurant I've been too is usually bland and tasteless. This place blew me away! Complex flavors, variety and great service. We went for Brunch and loved the Cobb salad and Rellano. It's a Roasted red pepper with fluffy scrambled eggs top with a cheddar sauce. To die for! Husband got the French toast. Best I've ever had. It was crispy on the outside. Devine! It's byob but they did have homemade Bloody Mary mix so next time bringing some vodka. Brunch is $18 per person for a app and entree plus a coffee. So much food. We were stuffed. Can't wait to come back for dinner or lunch. Do make a reservation because they get packed. They take credit cards.

    I am not a vegetarian so normally a place like this would not even be on my radar, but my friend suggested this place for lunch and I agreed. I had the grilled cheese sandwich, which also came with tomato bisque and a small salad of greens and grape tomatoes. I love grilled cheese and tomato soup and I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious. The sandwich consisted of cheddar and grilled sourdough with a smattering of grape tomatoes, which worked very well. We came early, at around 12:30, so luckily there was plenty of seating, but when we left at around 2:15 it was packed. It was only about a half hour drive for me, and if my friend wanted to come back here I would definitely say yes.

    You need to go to Blue Sage for the blue corn asparagus tacos. They are the best tacos I have ever had. This appetizer could also be a meal in itself. For entrees we ordered the Carnival (delicious) and the Korma (good but extremely spicy!!!) and could only finish half since we were so full from the appetizer. Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Service was great and ambience was nice but very loud (I didn't mind but it was a bit much for my hubby). I will definitely be going back and trying the desserts.

    4 or 5 stars? I can't decide... everything is delicious, and portions are large (as you would expect for the area). It's BYOB, and they are very courteous about filling your glasses for you. If you sit in for dinner (I have ordered take out previously), the dining area is kept a tad cold. The menu has a lot to offer, though if you are not a fan of feta or goat cheese, you better let them know, most dishes has one or the other. Everything is delicious, and beautifully plated.

    I went with a friend who is a vegetarian, however I am not. We shared four appetizers: the sliders, buns, tacos and risotto fritters. The sliders and buns were a 5 star, the other two were okay, but not great. It is BYOB and as far as I could tell you definitely need reservations.

    This place is absolutely fantastic. I can understand how some people who are still eating meat and a lot of processed stuff would find the food to lack flavor, however, for those of you who are somewhat healthy vegetarians/vegans, this food is phenomenal. First, their menu is very simple to understand, and it's clear to begin with what you can order vegan vs vegetarian. This place is BYOB which is fine, in a pinch (and not visiting southampton very often) we found a liquor store RIGHT down the road with tons of great wines. My fiancée and I had TACO VERDURAS.. both of us were saying that despite it being an appetizer, it was one of the tastiest thing's we've had in a long time. I was thoroughly impressed by that. For our entrees, she ordered the Carnival, and I had the Falafel Wrap. Hers looked absolutely incredible.. and tasted great. Mine was also very good, and lasted the next few days as my lunch and dinner due to the massive portions. The service was very friendly, our waitress was very helpful and kind. I have seen a lot of reviews about them being unpleasant if you don't have reservations.. we made our reservations at six o'clock for 8:30 the same Saturday night and they did NOT have a problem with that. The place is very small, but it has a lot of character.. but honestly, as long as your seat and table are clean, and your waiter/waitress is nice, why would you care about what paintings a restaurant has on the wall... or any decor for that matter? My fiancée and I went to enjoy each others company, and enjoy delicious food, and we had a really great time. Can't wait to go back!

    I spent many childhood years eating at the pizza joint that used to occupy the space that Blue Sage is in, but this hip, delicious and on trend place couldn't be father from that place. The food is delicious, and quite rich even for vegitarian food, and huge huge portions. Did I say huge? I ordered the miso soup (which is not the salty water you may be used to at Asian places but instead a flavorful soup filled with hearty veggies) and could have eaten that for an hour and still not reached the bottom of the bowl. Good thing my daughter helped me out. Nachos and sandwiches are enormous and enough to feed a small army. So order with this in mind or expect to take home leftovers! Try the Asian buns appetizer.

  • Jesse Z.

    The toughest thing about Blue Sage is ordering more than you can eat. We always take food home because it's too difficult to resist ordering what everyone next to us ordered. Some restaurants excel at presentation, and others, at taste. Blue Sage is one of the few that has both. The first time we came here we were a bit unsure because it says "vegetarian" in the name, and we hadn't eaten at a vegetarian-only restaurant before. Believe me, by the time you open the menu and look at the tables around you, you'll forget that it's vegetarian. This place has become one of our favorites in the region, and we've even taken out-of-town visitors here just to show off the delicious food! By the way, their Sunday brunch rocks! It's priced reasonably ($18), and tastes better than most other brunches we've had.

    If you want an excellent vegetarian or vegan meal for a great value, drive out to Southampton for Blue Sage. I can't believe it took me this many years to finally check this place out. I called them last night at around dinner and couldn't get through a few times (got the busy signal). Finally got through and they were able to squeeze us in for a reservation for two at 8pm. The restaurant was completely full, aside from our little table, when we arrived, and the pace never slowed. The secret's out, apparently. There are only a few items on the menu that are strictly vegan, however they can make any of their items 100% vegan if you ask (they call it "dairy free" instead but I guess they don't use eggs in general). Before we got our started, our red wine bottle was opened (BYO!) and we were given a small basket of delicious chewy sourdough bread and a small dish of spicy bean dip. We ordered the corn and avocado Tartare to start and it was fantastic. Loads of corn, diced avocado and tomatoes in a sort of savory salsa was served in a large cocktail glass surrounded by what tasted like homemade taro chips. We ate every last kernel and basically licked the plate. Next, I had the Pan Bagno sandwich for my main dish. I could barely eat half of it, it was so gigantic, and at around $12, a real steal. The chickpea cakes were similar to tofu in consistency which was surprising and nice. The "artichoke-oil cured tomato tapenade" on the fresh crusty, toasted baguette was wonderful. It was served with a very fresh salad of bitter greens, almonds and sliced grapes. I had a couple bites of that, but I was getting pretty stuffed. We decided to opt out of dessert. Two out of four of the desserts were vegan, and sounded really great, but we just couldn't manage to eat another bite and we were both bringing doggie bags home already. Our total bill for an appetizer, a sandwich and an entree (my husband ordered the pumpkin risotto) was around $40. Seriously. It would have been less had he ordered a sandwich, salad or any of the other less expensive items on the menu. After we got used to some of the more expensive veggie restaurants, this place was such a breath of fresh air! I think they could easily expand as they were doing such brisk business the night we were there. Our waitress and the entire staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. I look forward to more meals here.

    Tried this place for the first time for Brunch. The food and service were excellent. I am a true omnivore. I love salad but love most proteins too. I prefer fish and chicken, but do like pork, beef and other meats. Like another reviewer I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan. Went here with an aunt and cousins and didn't even realize until I left and looked at the sign that this is a vegetarian restaurant. The portions were generous, very well crafted and quite delicious. The place is small though and depending on the clientele can be a bit noisy.

    On a snowy day, the flavorful and creamy corn and potato chowder really hit the spot! Generous servings, delectable flavor combinations, and genuinely friendly service. Staff quickly and flexibly accommodated expanding the number at our table and making sure we were served in enough time to get to the airport. Can't wait to come back!

    I absolutely LOVE Blue Sage. It's honestly some of the best food I've ever had, if not that. My favorites on the menu so far- falafel gyro, their black bean soup, farmhouse cubano, fingerling potato salad. Also, I recommend their sunday brunch. And their desserts are a MUST. The first time I went, I was on the verge of becoming a vegetarian (I've now been one for over 3 years). Let me just say that anyone who thinks vegetarianism is about eating a pile of bland steamed broccoli (I was one of them) needs to get themselves over to Blue Sage. The chef understands the complexity and flavor of every ingredient used, and marries them to other ingredients to transform simple vegetables into something so delicious and harmonious! It opened my eyes to what vegetarianism could be, and also inspired me to get more creative when cooking at home. I've been a vegetarian for over 3 years. I just WISH they would expand or more to a larger facility as the building is rather cramped, and we often have to wait for a table. The food is well worth the wait, though!

    My Rating: 4.5 Favorites: Sliders Ever so often, you take a bite of great food and look around in astonishment to see if your friends share in the same visceral emotion. That was my reaction after eating one of the excellent sliders catered from Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. Their minute size begged me to snatch some more while the polite, restrained side of me begged me to stop. These tiny sandwiches had great contrasting textures while lathering your taste buds in an avocado and tomato relish teamed up with cheese and a basil aioli. Although this review is only for their sliders (they were catered at a party), I cannot help but endorse this eatery. From a casual glance of their menu, it seems that they have deciphered how to create flavorful and enjoyable American vegetarian cuisine (no easy feat). On that basis alone, Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille has earned my visit for lunch or dinner on my next trip to Pennsylvania.

    Went here for a prix fixe Valentine's Day dinner and it was phenomenal. We were a party of four--two vegans and two enthusiastic carnivores--and all were blown away by each of our courses. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and, most importantly, delicious. I'm generally not a dessert person, but was pretty damn happy with the one I ate here. A great place for a special occasion.

    Probably my all-time favorite cafe. Even if you're not veg or vegan, you can appreciate this PERFECT food. The staff is always, ALWAYS friendly... and usually it's not too busy after dinner (8:30-9pm) which is the best time to go. I would love to eat here twice a month if I could afford it... I think I just might have to put some funds away for the wonderful experience. :) Btw, on Google maps, the location is INSANELY wrong... I don't know if Google fixed it yet or what... but it takes you about 2 miles out of the way, and easily gets you lost. No good. Once you know where you're going though, you're golden (this goes out to first timers who haven't yet eaten here).

    Father's Day Brunch @ Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille (everyone knows it as Blue Sage), was the epitome of a meal that makes a wonderful day nearly perfect. While I have dined there several times over the years, it had fallen off my circuit at some point for no particular reason. When my 12 year old wanted to take me out for a good meal for Father's Day, Blue Sage came to mind. I called at 10:00 on Sunday morning and was fortunate to secure a table for 2:30 that afternoon. By no stretch am I a vegetarian, but I do enjoy a tasty healthy meal at any time. We arrived a couple of minutes late after canoeing in Tyler State Park ran a little long (that's another story), and were seated promptly. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The brunch menu is a shorter version of the regular menu with several specials thrown in. It's a one from Page One and one from Page Two deal for $18., including organic coffee. I ordered the Corn Johnnie Cakes with Berries and the Relleno. The Cakes looked like four small dark pancakes topped with Strawberries and Blueberries. It was pulled together with a Sweet Cream Butter whip that was just sweet enough, but did not interfere with the berry flavors, nor the hot corn cakes. It was delicious. The Relleno was a Red Pepper stuffed with mild melted cheese, beans, onions and red/orange cherry tomatoes. It was finished with a tawny copper colored tangy sauce that made me glad I had a spoon so I could claim every drop. I was completely satisfied. My son had two different dishes of Sweet Rice Pudding balls and Mashed Potato Empanadas which he enjoyed. They were filled with red pepper pumpkin seed pesto mixed with the potato, and it came with Giant White Beans pickled, Gazpacho Sauce, and a Tomato - Avocado Salad. I know this because he only reluctantly allowed me to taste them. This would have been a delectable meal on any day of the year. That is culminated Father's Day for me makes it vastly more memorable. I will be sure to consider Blue Sage on my list of "go to" places on special occasions. It was a great place to complement a great day.

    I had heard about The Blue Sage for years and how wonderful the food was. I always wanted to go but somehow never got there? When my husband asked what I wanted for my Birthday, I suddenly remembered this restaurant and asked he take me. I told my "foodie" mom we had reservations last Saturday night so she told me what to expect: make a reservation because it is a small place with tight seating, very loud and hard to hear but with good food. BOY I am so glad we went. I was raving about this place for days. We loved everything!!! Yeah, the seating was tight, but I would have sat on someone's lap for a meal here. Jess was our lovely server. Compliments to the chef!

    Yumm! I recently moved to the area from NYC and I'm happy that this place is relatively close to where I am living. To start we ordered the mediterranean platter which very delicious and filling. I really enjoyed the smoked red pepper hummus and falafel in tahini sauce. The portions are huge!! We were full after the appetizer and ended up taking a large portion of our entree home with us. I had the grilled cheese/tomato soup combo and it was absolutely delicious. I am a big grilled cheese fan and was worried that I wouldn't find a new place but I've found it! :) I will say it is a bit heavy (very buttery and cheesy) but I love it anyway, haha. It is also served with a mixed greens salad with a great dressing. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning. This place is a must!

    I feel like I start every review out like this, but my allergies get in the way of me trying lots of food. Especially at this place because I am allergic to cilantro. We ordered the nachos( which have cilantro in them). The chef made me a special version of the nachos cilantro free!!! They were full of beans and very cheesy! We ordered 2 soups, the gazpacho and the butternut squash soup. Neither were spectacular. For our actual entrée( as if I wasn't full already), I ordered the carnival dish. It was bubbling with cheese, rice, and beans. It tasted like perfection!!! On the side came caramelized onions and carrots!!! It's a must have dish while dining at this restaurant. It's what I order every time I eat here. We also got the Rustica. Because of my allergy, the modified the dish to put the beans on the side. It was delicious. The tortilla was filled with carrots, and cheese. Very yummy!!! For dessert, we ordered the reconstructed pie. It was filled with mascarpone cheese, apples, mascarpone ice cream, Ritz crackers and apple crumble. It was like 10000000 calories, but comes highly recommended.

    Vegetarian food for non-vegetarians! You will not miss meat or poultry here. Each dish is beautifully considered, bursting with flavor. The nachos are absolutely amazing, and the entrees are creative and filling. We had no room for dessert. Service was superb. The decor is a little dated, but the value and taste are far superior.

  • Jessica B.

    Absolutely amazing vegetarian restaurant - if you are skeptical and think you need meat in your meal, this place will prove you wrong! Don't miss: the goat cheese nachos - delicious pile of cheesy goodness with black beans and roasted peppers, the sliders - so many flavors and come with gigantic cone of shoe string fries which are fantastic and tasty themselves! The quesadillas are also delicious - either one, the Blue LT sandwich was OK - I'd pass for the quesadilla next time. The wraps got huge thumbs up as well. Not one of us missed meat in the least bit. Also don't skip dissert - you will be so full you will want to but leave a little bit of room for the amazing sweet and salty deconstructed apple pie made with caramelized ritz crackers to add a great amount of crunch! All portions are huge - every member of our table took home a doggy bag. Too make something great better, its also BYOB

    I had dinner at Blue Sage last night with a friend and my two daughters - ages 4 and 10 months - and let me begin by saying - Wow! I am not a vegetarian, but really anyone would enjoy the selection in this restaurant. We shared a huge order of nachos for an appetizer, and then I had "chicken" and waffles for dinner - the chicken was replaced by some deliciously flavored mushrooms and shallots, and was probably one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. Having worked in restaurants for many years, I had called ahead to be sure that children would not be disruptive - I knew from a friend's recommendation that the restaurant itself was not very large. The woman who answered the phone assured me that they were welcome, offered me a reservation, and even came over to say hi when we arrived. Our server, Max, was very knowledgeable regarding the menu, and had no problem answering our myriad of questions, or offering suggestions on his favorites. I cannot say enough good things - I will definitely be going back as soon as possible!

  • Leigh M.

    LOVE this place!! What a relief to look over an entire menu and not have to search out the vegetarian options! The falafel gyro is my absolute favorite, even the side salad that comes with it is delicious. And the Blueberry Mascarpone dessert is AMAZING. Every time I go, I say I'm not getting dessert, because I will eat the whole thing. And of course I always end up getting dessert and eating the whole thing anyway. Go with a friend so you can try two desserts! The place itself is kind of small, with the tables kind of right on top of each other, which makes it a little awkward when it's busy. Last time I went with a friend, we kinda felt like we had to whisper to not annoy the people on both sides of us, but the food is so good that that is no reason to take away any stars. Prices are reasonable as well. I can see non vegetarians loving this place and would whole-heartedly recommend to any friends.

  • Har D.

    I would love to give Blue Sage more than 3 but am hard pressed. Only saving grace is that the portions are huge BUT sadly it could do with better and stronger taste. The tasteless would love this place but I had to add my own sauces to make it more tasty.

  • Sarah S.

    Went to Blue Sage for lunch on a Friday. The place was busy, but there was no wait. We ordered iced tea, smoked gazpacho soup, a tofu hoagie and Buddha tacos. It took 45 minutes for our food to arrive-- tables seated after us were served first. The waitress forgot about our soup. The "hoagie"was tasty. We were interested to try "something different". Based on the menu description, we expected the favors to be stronger. The tacos were terrible. They were supposed to have a peanut "sauce"... I expected Asian peanut sauce-- slightly spicy... Reality-- peanut butter sauce. Seriously tasted like cilantro and Skippy. Yuck. When our soup finally arrived, we were very disappointed. Definitely needed more salt & pepper-- but the real bummer was that the "smoked" flavor was really "burnt" flavor. My friend, who had been to Blue Sage before, was surprised by our disappointment as she had been there before and had a nice meal. I definitely will not return.

    "The waitress comes to the table to take our order, while my friend is still perusing the menu with great care and attention. I recommend the Chinese five spice dumplings, I tell her I dream about them. Now, I'm the girl who dreams about food. Everything is delightful about the Blue Sage: overall taste, creativity, and plating. We hold our "friends, not family" Thanksgiving dinner here. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike rejoice in the dishes. I give them major praise for not resorting to soy, or faux meat in their dishes, however, I really wish they changed their menu seasonally. Yes, the dining room is small. They don't take reservations for lunch, but they offer take-out, so have a picnic in Tyler Park!"

  • Ali K.

    Love Blue Sage! This is quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the area. Food is fantastic and the portions are huge--most of the time I only order an entree. However, I have tried the apps & desserts and they are fantastic as well. The dining room is tiny and I would recommend making reservations--even on a Tuesday or Wednesday night when you think you might not need one. They will be busy and they will ask you if you have a reservation. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and preparation methods. I can't say it enough, the food is phenomenal. I love the macadamia black bean cakes.

    I never would have not even noticed this place without Yelp. From the exterior the place isn't compelling....I hesitated to venture in. But since Yelpers liked it-I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice interior. Nice decorating job. There is an extensive menu. I don't think I choose the best thing. I love Shepard's Pie so I decided to try their vegetarian version. What they served looked more like a soup than a Shepard's Pie. Plus it was loaded with red bell pepper which doesn't agree with me. They should call the dish something else as it doesn't come close to what a veggie version could be of this great dish. I felt like I was fishing for veggies in a green soup while pulling out the red pepper to discard. In the middle was a generous scoop of tasty mashed potatoes. There were other sliced potatos, sweet potatoes, beets, and almost raw Brussels spouts. The veggies were tasty but I felt like I was carb loading! Oh and more carbs-Israeli cous cous too. If I was in the area I would go again and try something else ensuring that whatever I order next is bell pepper free. I think I will try the tacos...less expensive too. My dish was about 20 dollars. Quite pricey!!!

    Blue Sage is an amazing vegetarian restaurant I had the immense joy of eating at last night. To start, though my husband and I were running almost 15 minutes late (yikes!--we called in a heads-up though), they welcomed us with smiles and seated us almost immediately with no issues. After reading a lot of other Yelps, we were set on the Goat Cheese nachos without hesitation. When we ordered, the waitress warned that they were highly addictive. Not long after, the heaping pile of nachos arrived (enough to easily feed 4 by the way), I figured, eh, I'll have a few and let my eager husband munch the rest. Well, I clearly underestimated the waitresses words of caution...15 minutes later, I was still stuffing succulent blue corn chips lathered in deliciousness into my mouth and slowly came to realize that I had absolutely NO room for my entree. Whoops. I was given a short reprieve from food while my husbands Sweet Potato soup arrived---I had a taste and it was fantastic! (We had to doggy-bag that though because he overindulged in nacho-heaven too.) For my entree, I ordered the Cubano Supper which consisted of plantain pasteries, mango and avocado salsa, yellow tomatoes and mixed greens. Still full, I forced myself to try at least 1 plantain pastry with the fixin's and I was NOT disappointed. Although by now, I had nearly lapsed into a food coma, my taste buds were still alert and taking in the festive flavors. My husband had the Buddha Crunchy Tacos and loved them. Needless to say, we had to doggy-bag most of our entrees too, but, we're quite excited to have leftovers. I can't believe that we moved to the suburbs from Queen Village last year fearing we would fall into a foodie void, and found a restaurant that beats almost any Philly BYOB I've eaten at, hands down! Great job Blue Sage!!

    OH MY GOSH PEOPLE, IT IS SO WORTH THE WAIT- if there is any wait (think of the Cheese cake Fac. and the crap you get there). Remember to give your name as soon as you get there-- and then you can wait out on the porch and they will come and get you when your table is ready. The staff is all so nice and doing their best at dealing with a lot of hungry people. The food is healthy and complex. Yummy- good every time. It is our favorite place to eat and WE ARE PICKY. Try the green fried tomatoes - Whistle Stop Sammy or the El Fino (a ladies that lunch fav.). Salad comes with sandwiches so your eating HEALTHY. The desert is top notch. I do this review against by own better judgement because I want to keep them all for myself-

    Having heard many wonderful things about this place, we were very excited when we finally got a chance to eat here. However, while our experience here during lunch here was decent, it wasn't the home run that I was hoping it would be. I really wish I could give a higher rating, but based on the food, I wouldn't call myself a fan. We started our meal with the Buddha crunch tacos; the peanut sauce wasn't extraordinary (actually, it tasted mostly like peanut butter; I couldn't detect an asian element), but worked with the rest of the dish. He then opted for the falafel gyro wrap, while I ordered the vegetarian banh mi. His wrap was undoubtedly the best part of the meal; the smoky tomato relish and caramelized onions were a wonderful compliment to the delicately spiced fritters; I do wish that the vegan version came with a soy yogurt substitute. My banh mi, on the other hand, was a disappointment. With every bite , I kept getting a gritty taste.The tofu was flavorless and the only dominant flavors that I got were from the very long stems of cilantro (which should have been chopped) in the sandwich. We decided to round of our meal with the vegan hazelnut toffee basket. When it was first brought to our table; we were impressed by the presentation. However, it did not taste as good as it looked. The problem with the dish was that it was one-dimensional. It just tasted sugary. I really wished for another flavor to balance the sweetness. Given the price of the food and the reputation of the establishment, I really expected something imaginative (and delicious) but that didn't happen for me. I am glad that the place is doing well, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    I had the nachos, some salsa dip, hush puppies, green tea creme brulee, and the shepherd's pie - all unbelievable. If you go on the weekend, reservations are a must. The place is tiny and gets crowed quickly. Finally, there is a vegetarian restaurant that even carnivores can't resist!!

  • Deskata H.

    I like the place. It's definitely worth trying if you haven't yet. Reservations are almost mandatory unless you want to hang around for half hour or so... Menu is really difficult to understand, so after reading for 15 min, my son said, "I'll just have ice tea..." - read - not kid friendly. My favorite lunch item is the Farmhouse cubano - I love the combination of eggplant, brie and whatever else they stuff it with to make it so super delicious. The dinner menu is the reason for the one star down. I haven't really had anything that I would give a 5 star rating. Although, most of the items were good, I wouldn't really spend time telling everyone about them. My sweets favorite is the Hazelnut Basket - it tastes like a ton of calories, but it's made of tofu, so eat away - it is healthy! :)

  • renee m.

    Amazing food!!! For someone who needs meat for dinner... I totally forgot there wasn't any in the meal- because it was that delicious!! Get the plantains with mango salsa and wasabi crema, tomato bisque- good to the last drop, Cobb blue salad, Poblano with sphagetti squash, and for dessert- chicolate buttercream with hazelnuts!!!

    This place is horrible! Despite having made reservations, we were shoved in the corner and forgotten about; where was our waiter? The portions were small and pricey. The dining area and the parking lot are both very tiny. You could hardly move in either. Not a good set-up for an eat-in establishment. Many people rave about this place and I want everyone to know it is not all it's cracked up to be. It should have been left as a pizza place!

    Blue sage is not a typical vegetarian restaurant. From start to finish, there is something on the menu that will be great. The soups are piping hot and delicious. My favorite is the Thai peanut, but hurry because its all made fresh so when they are out, that's it. The entrees are all really good and the sandwiches are great. I love the Vietnamese hoagie, but that's now off the menu, so it's gotta be the el fino. But without a doubt the best dessert, after trying a lot, is the reconstructed blueberry pie. You will agree, I know it.

  • Danielle H.

    The space is cramped to the point where your neighbors become your bffs, but its not enough to deter me from going there. Our servers have always been really nice and attentive everytime we have gone, even though they are always packed because of the small amount of tables. Everything I've had there has been good. The menu changes often, and I've always ordered something different and have never been disappointed. My favorite things have been the tostones appetizer, the dipping parfait is very good, and the dessert hazelnut toffee basket, the mousse is very intense, rich chocolate and the hazelnut toffee piece is amazing. The dishes are always plated well, flavorful, and we usually have enough to take home.

  • Carolyn S.

    Definitely one of the best vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to. And I love that they don't use any meat substitutes in any of their dishes! Not that I have anything against soy or wheat meat, but the lack of tofu or seitan-based entrees just makes Blue Sage get that much more creative with their menu. I've eaten here I think 4 times now, and there are a few dishes that continue to floor me every time: Green Curry BBQ Summer Rolls - holy crap, these are some delicious summer rolls. Filled with baby spinach, mango, Thai barbeque glazed veggies, smoked red onion, ginger & basil, these rolls were so flavorful they hardly even needed the dipping sauces that came with. (Those dipping sauces are phenomenal though, so I'm glad they are there). The side salad is just meh, but who cares, the rolls are amazing. Sliders - cute little brioche burger buns stuffed with avocado, mango, sun dried grape tomatoes, goat cheese and some kind of crazy delicious mango glaze. These little burgers are a complete taste explosion. In fact people I've dined here with have said they might just order a plate of these sliders as their entree next time, they are so good. The pound of yucca fries that come with, however, aren't great. So what I do is substitute the fries for the side salad/corn and bean salsa that normally comes with the Asparagus Tacos, and the kitchen has been more than happy to accommodate. And THAT makes for the perfect appetizer. Seriously, anywhere. And last but not least - the Cubano Supper. Flaky plantain pastries stuffed with sunflower seed-smoked red pepper pesto, with a tower of yellow tomatoes & avocado corn salsa in the middle. Chipotle jicama slaw & mango-papaya relish surrounded the tomato mountain. All I can say is wow. There were so many different flavors and textures going on, each flavor complimenting the next so perfectly. The plantain pastries (crispy on the outside, tender on the inside) were the perfect vehicles on which to pile the multiple sauces, relishes and salsas. I wouldn't change a single thing about this dish. The East West Bento Box deserves an honorable mention. It includes lentil and pine nut dumplings, an avocado salad, and a cup of red curry. It was good, but I found each component by itself was a little lacking in flavor. But when I mixed everything together, now that was the flavor I was looking for. Every carnivore I've brought here has left amazed. My NYC friend even deemed Blue Sage better than most of the trendy Manhattan veggie spots, and I would agree. Blue Sage puts the entire East Village to shame!

    Probably one of my favorite restaurants, ever! Everything is delicious and fresh. I've been going here for 5+ years. It's not as close to where I live now, but it's worth the 40ish minute drive. I've been here with friends, family, non-vegetarians and they all love it. My favorite dish is the Sanoma Sampler with goat cheese. On the lunch menu, the farmhouse cubano is delish. Eat-in or take-out. The place is kinda small, so if you are going for din make a reservation.

  • Rob S.

    Been meaning to go here for YEARS and it did live up to the hype. I'll try not go into too much detail as other Yelpers have covered the bases... It is a small BYOB tucked into a little shopping complex. Very unassuming and I actually enjoyed the relaxed non-formal atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly (over the phone, the hostess, server) and they even had some great jazz and latino folk music playing. We brought a bottle of wine which was no problem. Service overall was very attentive. But, it was a bit quiet when we arrived. We showed up not long after they opened and ate early because we had trouble finding a later reservation. Definitely make reservations as this place fills up! Only downside is that it appears to get a bit cramped later on as the tables fill up. (Which could affect service?) It is a small place. But that would be the only downside we saw... Now on to the meal... We tried the Green Curry BBQ Summer Rolls as an app, and Cubano Supper and stuffed Poblano pepper special as entrees. Everything was delicious and I have to echo some other Yelpers thoughts about the uniqueness and presentation of each dish. With no meat substitues they combine ordinary vegetables into delicious works of art. Seriously. For instance, look at the combinations to make just one PART of the Cubano Supper: "Flaky plantain pastries stuffed with sunflower seed-smoked red pepper pesto." All of those small ingredients combined to make something so tasty. And the perfect combinations of spiciness, sweetness, flakiness, creaminess, etc. Pretty affordable. Soups are $5. Apps are about $10. Main entrees are about $20. Can you also believe that the portions are very big? We didn't have room for dessert (which sounded fantastic). Oh well. Next time.

    SO good! I was a little skeptical about making the drive out to Southampton, PA (never even heard of it) but wow, totally worth every ounce of gas. When I first got to my destination I almost passed it up because the outside was so inconspicuous and unassuming. It was literally just a white building with windows and their sign. Looking back I think they could totally do well with some outside beautification and possibly add some outdoor patio seating! :) Anyway, upon entering, the place was actually rather cute inside and packed with people (always a good sign). The crowd was comprised mostly of young and middle aged people - no overly granola-type people or hipsters to be found in this vegetarian spot! Our server was nice and OMG the food was amazing. My friend and I split 2 entrees: the Koagie (or Korean hoagie, for those who are unfamiliar) and the Farmhouse Cubano sandwich. Both were served in really generous portions (neither of us could finish) and a side of greens. We happily ate our meal and talked over what ended up being 2 hours...mean while the restaurant never seemed to have more than one open table at a time; the customers kept on coming. Still, we were never rushed from our seats or made to feel like they needed the space. I would definitely return again!

    It's my fantasy to start something like this locally so people can see that being a vegetarian is not about deprivation. Blue Sage offers savory, hearty, flavorful food that is simply wonderful cuisine. It seems to attract a diverse crowd who cannot all possibly be vegetarian. I plan on dragging all my friends here, because I cannot cook like this and wonder how they do it. I try to scope out the vegan dishes but could not resist the Wild Mushroom Risotto with goat cheese. This is not spare cooking nor is it low-fat. We were stuffed with 2 entrees and a soup. Decor is warm and earthy and elegant, and the service is friendly and excellent and non-intrusive. Reservations are needed; we saw people coming in the whole time, and there is not much room to wait. In fact, there is not much room at all, and my one wish is that there was more space between the tables to give you a bit more privacy. Unless you are a supermodel, you will be brushing many tables on your way to the bathroom. Maybe they will expand some day. It's funny to see people dressed in dinner jackets alongside people in hoodies. I am getting a little bossy here, but I think one's dining experience is improved by fancying up just a bit to honor the occasion. It's amazing that Blue Sage is BYOB, which cuts your bill in half if you are a wine drinker. Entrees are about $20 each and well worth it, though you can order from the more casual section where dishes were around $12. I'd also love to get a sampling of their amazing appetizers sometime. I wish for the day when people will get a craving for vegetarian like they do for sushi or Indian.

    Unacceptably poor service. Arrived 5 minutes prior to our 8pm reservation, were asked to wait a few minutes, which was fine. Another party arrived 10 minutes late for their 8pm reservation and were immediately seated. This was not fine. Were told wait was "5 more minutes", then ignored. A second party arrived for their 8:15 reservation and were seated within a few minutes, while we continued to wait. The table the hostess indicated would be ours was not available, because the previous party was languishing in wait for their check, while the hostess was nowhere to be seen. Hostess was rude and dismissive. We left without ever seeing a table, 30 minutes after our initial reservation time. It was a shame, because the food looked and smelled good.

    I was shocked by how good their food was. I went with three other people, and we all got different entrees, appetizers, and desserts... and every single thing we tried was awesome. The desserts were insane. The risotto and empanadas were delicately-flavored, but satisfying as well. The housemade smoked pepper hummus was so good, we were tempted to ask about buying tubs of it to take home. The meals were all so well put-together that our two omnivores were just as satisfied as our two vegetarians. I've only been vegetarian for two years, and I'll admit- vegetarian food can be pretty bland. But Blue Sage had the best food I've ever had, meatless or otherwise. And, I don't want to sound like I'm trying to come off as some sort of pretentious food critic, but I've eaten at some of Manhattan's most highly-rated restaurants (Jean Georges, for example), and Blue Sage is officially my favorite restuarant. The time they put into perfecting each dish, and the skill with which they bring out each flavor is amazing. High quality, gourmet cuisine without the pretentiousness (or the price).

    This is my favorite restaurant on the planet! I've been a faithful patron for several years and have never once been disappointed. The menu changes slightly now and then, but I have tried almost every single item and loved it. Out of all the phenomenally delicious and inventive dishes, I have to admit that my favorite items are always the soups. They are flavorful, filling, and just perfect. The desserts are delicious, too. I used to have daydreams about the chocolate raspberry tart, but sadly, during my most recent visit it was no longer on the menu. My boyfriend's family (all devoted meat eaters) have taken me here many times and always end up talking for weeks about how fantastic the meal is. It is true that the restaurant gets crowded, but on some occasions that has inspired pleasant and memorable conversation with surrounding tables. The staff is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The portions are absolutely enormous, I never finish anything, but coming home with giant bags of food is half the fun :) I have been to many vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Philadelphia, New York, etc., but Blue Sage is still my favorite!

    I don't understand anything less than 4 stars for Blue Sage. I don't live in the area anymore but whenever I'm back in town, I always make sure to go. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians can find something here. My dad (meat eater) likes to get the adobe nachos or either of the quesas. And as other non-vegetarian reviewers have mentioned the nachos are insanely good. The Sonoma Sampler is definitely my favorite but the Cubano Supper is a close second. Yes, Blue Sage is kind of in the middle of nowhere and its small, but the food more than makes up for it.

    We went back here for a family birthday. With us were 1 vegetarian, 1 lactose intolerant person, 2 meat eaters (one with an open mind) and 1 vegetarian want-to-be. When we left I think we were all vegetarians!! The food was amazing, there wasn't one person at the table who wasn't ooing and ahhing at their meal. We all ate way more than we wanted to because the portions are very generous and we were stuffed but our mouths wanted more! Service is friendly and leisurely, the atmosphere is great when it's nice an full like it was when we were there - a packed Tuesday night - so make reservations. I wish there were more restaurants like this around!!

    Awesome restaurant, probably one of my favorites. I love the falafel on both the lunch and dinner menu. My absolute favorite is the farmhouse cubano. The goat cheese nachos are mmmm and the toffee basket for dessert is perfect!

    Dear Blue Sage, You are the most Delicious Vegetarian restaurant hands down. Please buy or rent the empty store next to you so the next time I visit I do not have someone who is standings butt at my face level. The tables are ridiculously close together. I feel claustrophobic and often get hit when people stand up and put their coats on.Thank you,I speak for many of your fans.

    I feel like I must be crazy for giving this place 3 stars. I went to Blue Sage for my birthday a few days ago on a Thursday night. I was beyond excited to try it out after so many positive reviews. Perhaps I was expecting too much. We were running about 15 minutes late and called to let them know. It was fairly busy when we got there but there were still a few tables open. Our server was friendly and attentive. As instructed by all of the Yelp reviews, we ordered the Goat Cheese Nachos. The plate was massive but delicious. It didn't taste especially goat cheesy but still very, very good. (Beware of the pepper on top. I tried a nibble - bad idea! Our gracious server brought us a spoonful of ice cream to help out.) I was psyched about the Wild Mushroom Risotto and we debated for a while about what the second dish should be, ultimately going with the Blue Plate. We were both pretty disappointed. The risotto dish was really blah. There was no mushroom taste - it all tasted like an altered teriyaki. No individual flavors, just a lot of sauce smothering what looked like otherwise delicious mushrooms. The risotto was sparse and likewise covered in the sauce. We favored the Blue Plate dish a bit more. The two skewers of glazed portobellos were good but the rest of the plate was ho-hum. The "smoked sweet potato mash" wasn't completely made of sweet potatoes. There were white potato chunks in it and it tasted like plain old mashed potatoes. Would it really have been that much more expensive to use all sweet potatoes? The succotash salad was fine. We were already pretty full by the end of those nachos so we doggie bagged up the majority of the main courses. But what's a birthday without dessert so we ordered the Hazelnut Toffee Basket and Butterscotch Pudding Parfait. The toffee basket was good. I liked it more than he did. I think the key is getting banana, mouse, and toffee in each bite. The real winner of the night was the butterscotch pudding. It was absolutely divine! We packaged both up but were talking in the car ride home about how excited we were to dip into that pudding the next day (and yes, it was still delicious). So I'm bummed my birthday dinner didn't feel 5 star worthy. I'd still like to go back and try out some other menu options and perhaps revise my review. Sadly, at those prices, it will probably be a while.

    Blue Sage is in a class by itself. Very tasty and artfully presented veg and vegan fare. The chef has a flair for combining ingredients, and up until very recently, there was no tofu, tempeh, seitan, etc. And that's still pretty much true, although a new lime-marinated pressed tofu sandwich inspired by the fusion trucks in cities like New York and San Francisco is amazing. You can bring non-veg friends and family and they will not feel deprived! Fabulous deserts, too. The only down side is they're in a small, noisy space and the wait for a table can be on the long side. Reservations are a must. BYOB.

    In the spirit of having a reservation here tonight I have decided to write my first yelp review about one of my favorite restaurants. I am not a vegetarian, but most of the time when I go out to eat or cook for myself I eat like one. I love this place because it is one of the few restaurants I can go and actually order something different every single time. I don't eat fish or a lot of meat, and I'm picky about things like cheese, so most restaurants I end up with one or two "go to" items. Every time I have been to The Blue Sage I have had a difficult time deciding between multiple items. Also, they change what's available with the season, so the variety is great. The soups are amazing, last time I was there I tried the potato and corn chowder, which is not something I would normally order. I have had a sonoma salad, which was made of all kinds of grains and beets and was delicious, some sort of cubano off the lunch menu with all my favorite veggies and brie, which is my favorite cheese, and last time I got the rellenos, which was a pepper stuffed with brie and some more of my favorite veggies! I have never been disappointed, and tonight I am even going with my meat eating dad for the third time! I hear the desserts are wonderful, but I never have room. Speaking of desserts, last time we went we were asked if we were willing to switch tables with a party that brought along an extra person. We happily obliged and were given a free dessert, which my pregnant best friend happily ate.

    There is food on the menu I LOVE (nachos, falafal, quesa havana, blue corn tacos) and then there is some stuff that I don't enjoy at all. However, the stuff I like is so good that it is worth going again and again. It is very small though and its always awkward sitting next to people. You can't really have a private conversation. There are always plenty of leftovers which is nice too. It is somewhat pricy so I suggest going at lunch time when it is a bit more affordable.

    Even non vegetarians would appreciate the fresh vegetarian dishes at Blue Sage. They are also very vegan friendly :) Make sure to make a reservation during dinner as it is a very small dining room. Overall two thumbs up for this Vegetarian BYOB!

  • Vanessa E.

    OMG! Best vegetarian restaurant! I live in a vegetarian capital and this is still the best! I wish they would bring their lovely restaurant to California. I loved the fried green tomato with a light dill aioli, it was my favorite!!! We also shared the fried plantain pancakes made with a black bean puree & mango salsa. Also blue corn asparagus tacos were great, I can see why they are a favorite! The mushroom risotto was pleasant too. I would strongly suggest the desserts. Order anything that calls out to you. I really don't think you could order anything less than delicious!!!

    Blue Sage is this meat-lover's very favorite Vegetarian restaurants (and is up there for restaurants, period)! I was EXTREMELY skeptical when my mom wanted to take us to this restaurant for lunch (check out my reviews, they're mostly steakhouses). So the four of us were off, my mom the health nut, myself the omnivore, my husband the steak lover, and my dad the lover of all food. We left mid-morning (because, she explained, it was more than a 45 min drive away) and got there at 11am, pretty early for lunch (because, she explained, there was always at least an hour wait). We ordered two soups as appetizers, we each got a sandwich, and two desserts. I. Was. Blown. AWAY. I don't even like carrots, raw OR cooked, but the thai carrot soup was by far my favorite part of the meal. Black bean soup was a bit too thick for me. My hubby's feta and pear wrap was light and flavorful. My mom's portabella panini was so delicious we got another one to go, just to be able to eat it at home later that day. I didn't even get a chance to taste my dad's portabella burger because he ate it so quickly. And my falafel pita was delicious (but my so-called health-nut mom turned her nose up at it: "that's gross!"). Of course, vegetarian desserts are relatively easy-- we had a hazelnut mousse and a chocolate panini. It's pricy, but we'll be back the next time we're visiting the 'rents down in Phillytown.

    I recommend always to have a reservation. Tried twice to dine here only to be told they were full. This was my first time to a vegetarian restaurant and I wasn't disappointed. The hostess and waitress were really nice and informative (since I didn't know anything about vegetarian dining, she was willing to take the time to explain what everything was..didn't rush me or roll eyes when I asked a "stupid" question) The food was fresh and very tasty. Don't ask what I ordered... I couldn't remember what I ordered even though I brought most of it home. Oh yea, that's right. There was so much food, I brought 3/4 of it home. I don't know if that's a plus or minus for people, but I thought the amount of food was enormous. Overwhelming, in fact. The dessert was really good too... we ordered one and shared...some butterscotch ice cream thing. I can't wait to come back here again...

    This place is a vegetarian's paradise. I wish I lived closer. Words can't even come close to conveying the delicious (and flawless) menu. My favorites are the goat cheese nachos and brioche avocado sliders. For dessert - the banana chocolate bread pudding. Just stop reading and go right now.

  • Amanda C.

    My husband and I went here on our anniversary weekend. The portions were huge and the soup was delicious. I had the Khorma, and it was delicious! I wish we lived closed so I could have had a doggie bag! We made every attempted to have one of the amazing sounding desserts offered, but were just too full to try one. But it will give up a reason to come back the next time we are in Philly! My only complain about the place is that it's a little small and the tables are close together so you can feel a little crowded sometimes. Also, definitely make reservations!

  • Brian C.

    Delicious food, great for something different, BYO!!! First off, I'm not vegetarian... but I guess you could say I'm veg-curious. I haven't really been to many vegetarian restaurants, so I don't have anything to compare to... but Blue Sage was pretty amazing. I highly recommend you make a reservation. We had a reservation for 8 people on a Friday night - and the small dining space was pretty packed. The menu can be a little intimidating at first glance... the descriptions are pretty elaborate and choosing your entree will probably take some time. I suggest you check out their menu online in advance. We started with a few appetizers - the nachos were like crack (i could probably drink a bowl of that cheese sauce), the spring rolls and plantains were awesome too. For dinner I opted for the Poblano - a giant pepper stuffed with eggplant, zuccini, a ton of cheese... paired with some onion rings. I have to say that the presentation of the large plates were something special - almost too pretty to eat. Fortunately it tasted just as good as it looked. I also got to sample the Wild Blue Foccacia, which was also awesome. Oh, and if you have room for dessert try the Hazelnut Toffee Basket. As you can probably tell, I left the place very satisfied.

    I have a new favorite restaurant! First of all, I am happy this place was a BYOB! Secondly, I am NOT a vegetarian and I am amazed that veggies and beans could taste sooo good! The Black bean soup was the best I have ever had... and a meal in itself! My party of five shared appetizers and we tasted each others meals. Every dish was beautifully served, fresh as could be, the right temperature, reasonably priced and generous portions! (We had lots of left overs for our doggie (??) bags.) I think every dish was my favorite! The only down side is the tables are close together and I felt on top of the people next to us. Even the waitress struggled to serve our table...and we did a lot of passing the food down. The restaurant was completely full, tables did not stay empty all night. We were there at 8pm on a week night! I strongly suggest making reservations.

    My review is based on these lunch dishes: Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos --- very yummy and so good! Serrano Wrap --- hands down my favorite dish Corn and Potato Chowder -- I can't get enough of it. It's so creamy and just a very comforting. Farmhouse Cubano -- We were pleasantly surprise.... eggplant was delicious! I'm usually a MEAT LOVER and can't go a meal w/o some type of meat or fish. But at Blue Sage, this place totally knows how to make veggies tasty and satisfying. I have tried other things on their lunch menu and it wasn't too bad, but I just can't get enough of my favorites above. I always order the same thing. I haven't tried their dinner menu but I'm sure based of the reviews it's just as yummy! A must try!

    All I can say is WOW! By no means am I a vegetarian, I LOVE steaks, and chicken, etc. Very small place. We got take out and the food was awesome! I can only imagine how good it is if you eat in. The flavor of this food is amazing! The portions are HUGE, and the food is delicious! My only problem is that it is VERY expensive. But I mean if you are going to order it everyday then it is going to be expensive, if very little than not that bad. Defiantly worth going back!!!

    I have been wanting to try this place for years and finally had the chance a few weeks ago and I've been drooling thinking about going back ever since. I met a few friends there for dinner. None of us are vegetarians but I've definitely been thinking about becoming vegetarian for the past few months. I am not but have just been cutting down on my meat consumption during this time. We decided to just split a bunch of appetizers and we each had soup. First let me just say the soup was awesome. They have several options each day and the day I was there there was a potato soup, a Thai sweet potato & peanut soup, and gazpacho. The potato soup was creamy and was listed as dairy-free. I had to order it because 1. I love potato soup and 2. I am really not supposed to eat dairy so I felt less guilty ordering that. Well, it was delicious. It was so creamy, you'd never know it was non-dairy. The waitress said it was made creamy with coconut milk. Yum. My friends had the sweet potato & peanut soup and they both loved it. For appetizers/meals we ordered the hummus platter (OK, but not really my thing), the blue corn & asparagus tacos (really good), and the goat cheese nachos (heavenly). Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to stay away from dairy but once I tasted the nachos, I had trouble stopping. Oh, and meat lovers, you really don't miss the meat, I promise (at least I did not)!

    HOLY CANOLI this restaurant is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Suggestion 1: Make a reservation with four people. Suggestion 2: Take two bottles of wine to accompany your dinner (FREE corkage) Suggestion 3: If your three other friends are close, choose one soup, 1-2 appetizers, 1 salad, and 3 entrees. With this combination everyone can try the amazing flavors of this vegetarian restaurant. Oh and suggestion #4: go hungry! I haven't been to a vegetarian restaurant as good as this place. GOOD NEWS Philadelphians, they are opening a restaurant in Philadelphia: bit.ly/8PqKpk

    I had lunch here with my two vegetarian daughters on a Friday afternoon in late July. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared and well-presented. We shared the Mediterranean Sampler appetizer and then had the Inverno Salad, the Serrano Wrap and the Quesa Havana between us. However, we waited in their very narrow entry hallway more than half an hour to be seated; the two wait staff were stretched to the limit with customers and for a long time after we arrived, the seating hostess was nowhere to be seen. We waited even though there were two empty tables for more than 10 minutes, just waiting to be cleaned and re-set. We had read the menu during the long wait, so we were able to give our orders immediately after we sat down. There was only about a 15 - 20 minute wait for our salad and sandwiches. Once served, we languished in a back corner waiting for water refills and later for the check. I would give this restaurant a 5 for the food, but the overall dining experience was so negative that I have lowered it to a 3. Perhaps it is less busy during the week but expect a long wait and sub-par service on Fridays in the summer.

    Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite restaurants everrrrr. It has been my "go-to" vegetarian restaurant for years. I have persuaded many non-vegetarians to join me here, and never have they left disappointed. The portions are worth the cost. The menu is varied, and interesting. They don't really do any kind of meat alternatives, just balanced meals of veggies, grains and legumes. There is cheese in some dishes, but almost everything can be made vegan. They make their own delicious desserts. The service is always on point and friendly. The hardest part is ordering- because everything sounds so good. Go with a group and share. It gets crowded fast, so make a reservation. BYO.

    This is by far one of my favorite places to eat! The food is consistently delicious and fresh. The hot dishes come out nice and hot. Each dish is plated beautifully with lots of color and strikes all your senses. I have a few recommendations; for starters the goat cheese nachos are fantastic and full of flavor. The melted goat cheese really takes these to a new level. I also love the plantain appetizer with the creamy wasabi sauce. It's spicy but so good. Their soups are also a must try, the Thai ginger carrot and potato chowder are two of my favorites but I feel as if you can't go wrong with any of them. The place is small and you need a reservation. The only semi down side is the service is a bit slow, but totally worth the wait! Great place for a girls night out, a date or even a lunch date with mom!

    I have never actually been to the Blue Sage, but I have eaten their food for years. Every Christmas Eve my Aunt gets two huge platters of food from the Blue Sage for us vegetarians. I have one thing to say: Blue. Corn. Aparagus. Tacos. I don't know what they put in those things, but I can magically put back at least a dozen of these every year. I think I gain a couple pounds at Christmas just from the Blue Sage food. It's so good.

    This place is amazing. My boyfriend and I save it for special occasions. I am a vegetarian, but my boyfriend is basically a carnivore. Despite his love of meat, he really enjoys this place. I always leave full, and wanting to order another dish so I can have something to take home for the next day. I have tried the following and recommend all of them: Blue Corn & Asparagus Tacos Pacific Rim Tostados Green Curry BBQ Summer Rolls Roasted Fingerling Potato Salad Poblano

    Variety of vegetarian food is enormous! They have tons of different items that most people have never seen. The food was a little bland for me but that didn't hinder the overall taste of the food. I would still come back to try all the items. If you are a vegetarian or just want a different taste, this is the place to try!

    remember that feeling of anticipation when you were about to head to disney world for the first time? you could barely sleep the nite before...you'd heard everyone else rave about mickey mouse and space mountain...and now you were finally going to experience all the magic and wonder for yourself! yeah, well, that was me as i awaited my virgin visit to blue sage. oftentimes built up expectations work against places. space mountain? nothing but a lame roller coaster in the dark. but not blue sage. after 4 years of people telling me that i MUST try this restaurant, that, as a veg, i would absolutely LOVE it, i can honestly say that my experience most definitely lived up to the hype. for starters, i was in great company with dining companions heather M & tom C. tho they're both eaters of the meat, this was heather's third visit to blue sage in two months and tom exclaimed that the menu read like veggie porn...which it does. with the description of [cue slow, sexy voice here] "fresh blue corn tortilla chips with smokey adobo black beans, roasted corn, grilled julienne red peppers, ovendried cherry tomato halves & creamy roasted onion goat-manchego queso," the adobo goat cheese nachos sure sounded like a must-have app. not surprisingly, they were as delicious as we'd hoped they'd be, and the portion was so large that the 3 of us couldn't even finish it! there were two entree specials being offered - a poblano pepper stuffed with caponata and another one featuring squash blossoms - which tom & heather ordered respectively. i went with a menu item, the cubano supper, featuring [sexy voice again] "flaky plantain pastries stuffed with sunflower seed-smoked red pepper pesto surrounding a tower of yellow tomatoes & avocado corn salsa and served with chipotle jicama slaw & mango-papaya relish." let's just say there was as much color and flavor in this dish as there were adjectives to describe it. dessert items like a chocolate panini and a hazelnut toffee basket sounded tempting, but were quickly forgotten when our server informed us of the nite's special: a pumpkin bread pudding with whiskey caramel sauce and scoop of ice cream. wow! a delicious seasonal treat that i highly recommend whenever available. i knew going in to this meal that there was no tofu or faux meat, just straight up veggies, and i'll admit that i thought i would miss it...but ya know what? i didn't. not. one. bit. all that said, the drive from my office in media, pa to the unassuming southampton strip mall where blue sage resides took me close to an hour. for food this good, i will gladly make that trek again.

    i have lived in southampton for my entire life, Now that I have moved to Boston, when I come home, this the first place I come to. Blue Sage is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the world, and I am not even a vegetarian!! I get the same thing every single time, Rasberry Zinger Ice Tea and the Porto Cabana. I am drooling just thinking about it. True, the place is small, and it would be amazing if they would take over the place next door, but they have told me that it is a parking zone issue, which is tragic. However, the wait is worth it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

  • Leslie M.

    Took the vegetarian bf here for a relaxing birthday lunch. We did not leave disappointed. No siree! Note: For Lunch Only - you do not need reservations ... though if you are going at the peak lunch/brunch hours - you may need to wait as it is a smaller dining area. Ambiance: Don't let the outside strip mall look deceive you... once you step inside - you are greeted with warm wood paneling and quaint decorative touches that make you feel like you are just stopping in for a meal in a rustic farmhouse. Service: Very helpful and bright. She did try to warn us about the portions but we ignorantly did not heed her advice. She had a good chuckle when she saw our desperate "oh no we're too full already" looks as we finished up our appetizers. Food: Phew... get ready to give your stomach a workout... if you are like me and usually indulge in a few appetizers plus your entree and almost ALWAYS get a dessert... Beware! the portions here will dominate your eating capacity, which is AWESOME. *Blue corn asparagus tacos* are dense and packed with delicious flavor and texture. This "appetizer" could have been an entree... *Cheese sliders* were also big flavor winners. The meat lover in me kept thinking how amazing it would be to have a nice pat o burger in it BUT it was delicious enough to hold it's own. TIP: if you are a hater of blue cheese - you can ask for a replacement cheese such as goat cheese. but to be honest - as someone who isn't a big fan of the strong blues... this particular blue cheese was not only tolerable but scrumptious in the slider! We arrived upon the entree portion of our meal and split the *eggplant/brie sandwich* - which was decent but the flavors were much more earthy, subtle and muted comparatively to the very bright / sharp appetizers. If you are into more mellow flavors - go for this sandwich. At this point in our mid-day meal... we were approaching food coma but we had to at least try one dessert. *Chocolate bread pudding?!* YES please! It's rich, thick, dense and more chocolatey than your usual bread pudding. I highly recommend BYOing a little pint of raw organic milk to wash this dessert down. Drinks: BYO! But everyone around us were clearly loving the offered selection of iced teas. Alas, we were satisfied to enjoy our meal with a nice Rochefort 10 & fresh farm milk. Overall, we left very full, very happy and with decent leftovers! The price point and portion size ratio is incredible compared to the city's top veggie restaurants. Now, I do wish they offered espresso items and more dark chocolate dessert options. But these are minor afterthoughts and I cannot wait to go back!

    THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!!!! Everything I or my friends/family have gotten they have loved. My grandmother said that the ice cream was like "sunshine in your mouth." Servings are large, and prices are a little high for the non-casual entrees. I love the focaccia mushroom sandwich, the queso/roasted cherry tomato/blue tortilla nachos, all of the salads, all of the soups, and ESPECIALLY THE DESSERTS!! You never would have known it was vegetarian because the menu is big and diverse and of course DELICIOUS!! Plus the atmosphere and the servers are fantastic. I always chit chat with them about the food and get recommendations. This is also a BYO. Highly highly highly recommended. Get a reservation, though, because the place is tiny. My first choice for a special night out.

    Blue Sage is my favorite restaurant in the Bucks County area...their food never disappoints. Although it seems a bit pricey, the presentation of their food and the actual quality and taste is well worth the price. There aren't very many vegetarian restaurants in the area, so this place is always packed! The only downfall of the restaurant is the size of it...because there is a lack of room and space, sometimes it may feel crammed walking to the bathroom, or walking through the tables to pick up your take out. Another thing that I dislike regarding the size of the restaurant is that the tables are VERY close, if you are sitting on the side where the booth is, you can pretty much hear the conversation of the person next to you. This also makes making reservations very tough, because their are only so many tables... But all in all, regarding the food and service, I have been going to Blue Sage for years and I have never been let down

    I'm finishing off the last of my *Adobo Cheese Nachos* as I write this review. MmMmmm. The Blue Sage Grill is one of the top 5 highest rated vegetarian restaurants in the Philadelphia and I am so so happy I finally had the chance to stop in for dinner. This tiny restaurant is serving up some of the best food I've ever tasted. Vegetarian or not you will absolutely love this place. The dishes are light but filling and packed with enough flavor to satisfy even the most carnivorous among us. Not having meat as a focal point in these dishes really highlights the flavors in the vegetables and herbs. We made reservations thanks to a tip from a fellow yelper . The place was packed at 5:30 but the food came out fast and the waitress was very nice and informative. She brought out fresh pumpernickel bead with a delicious pumpkin seed butter and cranberry relish. YUM. I ordered the famous *Adobo Cheese Nachos* to start. These things could of been a meal of their own HUGE and layered with black beans, tomatoes, corn, fresh chives , cilantro, adobo cheese and freshly roasted red peppers( so smoky). Oh and the beast part * creamy roasted onion goat-monchego queso*. For my entrée I ordered the *Macadamia Crusted Black Bean Cakes. They were amazing served over quinoa-black rice pilaf and pineapple salsa . Most entrees start at about $20 which isn't too bad. Me and Autumn both got appetizers and entrees for about $60total. I love this place. This place impressed the pants off of me. I have no pants! Definitely going back with everyone I know :)

    Awesomely delicious food, nice variety of menu selections, but too much dairy. Nice atmosphere. The prices are high but the portions are huge (so you get virtually two meals out of one). I don't trust the "request dairy free" suggestion - my food still tasted cheesy.

    Loved it! Went here with a few friends a few weeks ago. For my soup, I got the black bean soup which was great!! Best black bean soup I ever had. For dinner, I had the poblano, which was HUGE (had enough to eat it for lunch the next day) even with my friend and I sharing it. It was stuffed with veges. Had a corn type salsa thing on the side. My one friend had the falafal which she said was excellent. And for dessert, we split the bread pudding with peanut butter sorbet on the side. AMAZING!!! I am not a vegetarian, but you don't have to be to have a great time here. It is BYOB but it is a tiny place so make reservations if you can.

    I have to admit, I was very skeptical when I was told I would be spending one of my valuable Saturday nights eating at a vegetarian restaurant. I assumed I would be eating tofu made to look and taste like meat. I was pleasantly surprised. No fake tofu meat. In fact, I don't think I ate any tofu. The food was great! I did not find myself missing or wanting meat at all. Most of the dishes I sampled had a Mexican flavor to them, I guess Mexican spices are bold in flavor and effective in spicing up a meal. However they did it I loved Blue Sage. The food was great by any measure, not just in terms of vegetarian food. It is also good to share. There isn't a whole lot of room so make sure you call ahead. This place is great for vegetarians and non-veges alike, there is no reason to say "eww, it's vegetarian". If I could have good like this everyday I would be a vegetarian myself.

    Been here like four times, always good. Came here for my birthday as well and had a great something or another inside a nice crispy shell of something! Good iced tea. Parking is sort of a nightmare, and it's always crowded because it's so good, but well worth any sort of inconvenience you may think you have. You aren't being inconvenienced, because you're about to embark on an epic culinary journey to Blue Sage. From the moment of entering the door, the waiters bow down to you and you get a towel in lukewarm water laced with lavender and rose petals. JK LOL! Good vegetarian food.

    Blue sage ROCKS. It's a shame it's so small, as it makes it NOT a good choice for one of those Friday nights when you're like "hey, why don't we...?" But, I'll forgive it for its smallness and move on to my fav things there. The first time I ever went there like 5 years ago, I got the El Fino Wrap (it's this wrap with poached pears, gorgonzola cheese, toasted (i think) pecans and maybe some dried cranberries and onion?), and I almost passed away it was so amazing. To this day it's still my favorite thing there, and in my top 5 favorite foods on earth. They don't have it on the dinner menu though, but you can always order it. THAT is my ultimate fav. In terms of soup - they are like soupmakers from the future. Flavor combos I've never heard of warm ginormous bowls. The thai carrot soup makes me want to live in Thailand and become a carrot farmer. They drizzle this creme fraiche on top and.... yeah. You get it. I also had this really awesome beet soup there... Which reminds me... Those crazy cooks at Blue Sage are like Masters of the Beet. In fact, I was not aware of the degree at which I adore the beet until I'd seen it cooked/utilized about 5 different ways there. It's awesome. Then it's like, okay.... What else could they do to be Awesome McAwesometon? Oh, they could have world-class desserts (w vegan options too) that make you want to setup a little cot and just live in their dining room. So, obviously, I love this place. One more thing - I prefer Blue Sage for lunch. The options are there, it's cheaper, and they actually have more stuff I like on the lunch menu. DInner gets a little too grainy for me - literally. I mean, I like quinoa, but it just doesn't wow me like the lunch stuff does. Na mean? Hearts out to the Sage.

    This is BY FAR my favorite Vege restaurant that I've experienced ANYWHERE. It's a small space (well, at least compared to the restaurants I frequent in the DC area), but is cozy (in a make friends with your neighbor sort of way) and charming. The service is attentive without being pushy and gives you a kind of "this is our home....welcome" sort of feeling. The menu, while Vege, is HARDLY boring. You won't miss meat one bit (not that I eat any besides poultry to begin with). The dishes are representative of countries all over the world with occasional dishes that have flavor combinations from two countries or more - and are unexpectedly well paired. Truly, the food here is, simply put, amazing. And coming from the DC area, I hardly ever encounter a BYOB, especially one that doesn't charge a corkage fee more than most home bought wines! This is always a welcomed addition and a fantastic way to experience the wines you enjoy with their amazing repertoire of dishes. The menu is seasonal, so there are always new surprises that await you. Two dishes, which I believe are staples of theirs and NOT TO BE MISSED, are The Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos and the Asparagus Tacos. Do not pass these up! You will not be disappointed!

    Blue Sage is always great, almost always crowded, and, tragically, closed Sundays and Mondays. Reservations are definitely a must and I recommend bringing friends so you can get a larger table and be slightly further from the next table. The two-person tables always seem to leave us sitting 4 inches from an unknown loud-talker. While the entrees are all delicious I recommend that on at least one visit you go the appetizer + sandwich route. My wife and I always choose a new appetizer and then order our regular sandwiches. We split the Falafel Wrap and the Wild Blue Focaccia and usually have 1/4 of each to take home. The falafel is ludicrously tasty and has a magical stay-crispy-while-surrounded-by-spicy-slaw property that leaves me stunned. The mixed mushrooms in the Wild Blue focaccia do their job and let the Gorgonzola really hit you. We're always too full for dessert. P.S. BYOB

    Love, love, love Blue Sage. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in the area. I have been here a number of times and have never had anything I didn't like. The menu changes periodically and there are seasonal additions as well. The 2 must-try items on the menu are the corn chowder and the goat cheese nachos. Everything is a little more expensive, but the portions are enormous. You definitely get what you pay for. Also, if you plan on going in the evening, you definitely need a reservation.

    Thank god my job takes me all over so I have the opportunity to try new places for lunch. This was delicious. I had the Porto Cubano. It was huge and extremely tasty. I also took home a container of the sweet potato peanut soup. Also very good and chunky, more like a stew. I had the iced tea of the day, which tasted like a pomegranate tea blend. Everyone was very helpful and nice, even though they were jammed. If I'm ever back in the neighborhood I will definately eat there again.

    This place has been high on my queue for several years. I always tell my friends it's like eating a five star meal on a three star budget. The owners, who are also the chefs, control every plate that exits the kitchen and onto the patron's table (which is also why the dining room isn't very big). Each dish is well thought out, from the locally sourced ingredients to its final execution. There's no skimping on the amount of food on your plate so you're guaranteed to go home with leftovers for next day's lunch (you mean I get to extend this wonderful experience?!) The Sonoma Sampler is my favorite dish which includes oven roasted baby beets and cherry tomatoes over tabouleh and lentils mixed with pistachios, corn and cucumber, watercress in a pear walnut vinagrette, topped with grilled pita slivers topped with hummus, baba ghanoush and guacamole. If you've saved room for dessert, might I suggest their Hazelnut Toffee Basket, a rich chocolate buttercream mousse which is reminiscent of Nutella, carmelized bananas and toasted hazelnuts. Oh, and did I mention this is available as vegan upon request? I've brought countless meat-eaters to this place and they've never complained about missing meat. No matter for lunch or dinner, the place is always packed, which to me is a great compliment to the food. And although the noise levels can be overwhelming at times, great food is for great conversation and if you take a glance at the surrounding tables, everyone is laughing and smiling and enjoying their experience (perhaps it's b.y.o.b. policy helps, too). Expect your meals to take a little bit of extra time to come out if the place is packed, so remember to bring some patience along with a bottle of wine. It is not for those in a hurry! You can also order food by phone to take out. This is by far the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to in the Philly/NJ/DE/MD area, my most recommended and always my number 1.

    Boy do I love the food at Blue Sage. It's right around the corner from my house. And it's 5 star food. But I rarely have a spare two hours to eat. If you have time, the food is worth it (esp the desserts). The servers are wonderful, but the service is slow because it's too small! They need a bigger location, more staff, and faster service. They certainly have the customer base.

    Absolutely delicious foods!! Hard to find a vegan restaurant in the area and this was definitely an amazing find. People who worked there were so friendly and knew what they were talking about when it came to answering questions relating to the foods offered. The presentations of the food too were beautiful and a good Sized portion as well. We went for brunch, am looking forward to going back sometime for lunch/dinner!

  • RB B.

    Wow. What a meal. Though I have always enjoyed vegetarian cuisine, it is just very recently that I actually proclaimed "I'm a vegetarian!!!" I was here several years ago for lunch. I think I had soup and don't remember it all that well, despite my reputation for having a ridiculously vivid memory. Anyway, we we were at Blue Sage this past Saturday night....this time it was quite memorable. Prices may seem high for a Bucks County suburban location, but well worth it. Sometimes you see the prices, and as long as the food is good, you don't mind if the portion is so-so. Well, the portions were pretty decent. Everything was fresh and flavorful, creative, inventive. Something to hit all the senses. When we were first seated, they brought us some wonderful brown bread from Metropolitain Bakery, along with their housemade pumpkin seed butter and cranberry relish. We started with the Red Pepper Hummus Trio: red pepper hummus, roasted eggplant dip (smoother than baba ganoush,) and 3 falafel patties topped with a roasted tomato pesto. The dips were smooth and creamy; the falafel was moist and mild. I had the Macadamia and Black Bean Fritters. Wonderful texture and flavor, lightly crispy. They were served with black rice (great chewy texture) and a sweet mango salsa that was the perfect compliment. My boyfriend had the bento box which had a lovely and mild Lemongrass soup with veggies, veggie dumpling and an Asian cucumber salad. As I mentioned before, the portions were generous...I took over half of my entree home...yet I was too stuffed to try one of their fabulous sounding, and looking, desserts. Service was attentive. Decor is a little minimal, but the place is small and cozy and comfortable. I can't wait to return since it was so hard for me to decided between 5 or 6 different entrees. I highly recommend!

    Being a clean eater that strays away from meat and gluten makes it a little difficult to go out to eat. Finding someone to dine with at a vegetarian restaurant can be difficult so I often find myself saying "I'll just get a salad" when going out to eat with friends. At Blue Sage there were many options for me and I couldn't have been more pleased. Before I get to the food I would first like to compliment our server, Charlee. She was very kind and well educated on the menu. This is important because I can't eat gluten and get very nervous when dining at a restaurant for the first time. She made my first experience at Blue Sage fantastic!! For starters, she offered a delicious UNSWEETENED raspberry iced tea, which is almost impossible to find! We also got an appetizer, the Tacos Verduras. The amount of texture and flavor piled high on a homemade blue corn taco was more than satisfying. I split this with a friend but was tempted to put in another order as my meal. Instead of doing that I went for the miso pumpkin soup. The miso broth was jam packed with flavor and even developed a slight creamy texture. The soup was hearty and had medium, bite sized chunks of cauliflower and pumpkin which was accompanied but the punch of flavor possessed by scallions. I was In love. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the service, flavor, portions and prices. I am so excited to go back to Blue Sage and try more of their menu!

    After moving from LA to Philly and not having great vegetarian options, I think I've finally found a spot that can be my little LA out here (thanks to my friends who introduced me to this place and brought me here). It's quite easy to miss this restaurant with its unassuming storefront and shared stores on the same strip mall so keep your eyes peeled when you drive here but once you go inside, you're in a cozy yet exciting place. The restaurant was buzzing with conversation, people laughing, and everyone from the waitresses to the patrons were having an all around good time there. Seating is close but you won't have to whisper to keep your conversations private because everyone there seemed engaged in the conversations they were having with their friends and family. There's not a whole lot of space so once you get seated, get comfy. There are plenty of items to choose from on the menu from sandwiches to soups to wraps to salads (duh) and you can't go wrong with what you pick. The dishes here are served with tons of flavor and the portions aren't shabby either. The hummus and falafel appetizer was tasty and creamy along with crunchy and grainy, a perfect combo. I had one of their sandwiches and man, it was absolutely delicious. Not only was it juicy and full of flavor but I totally forgot that there was no meat in it at all. The salad along with the dressing it came with was delicious also. The greens tasted fresh and crisp (none of that iceberg lettuce crap) and they weren't overpowered by the dressing. The only thing I felt like I missed from their menu was a choice of vegetarian/vegan burger. I love eating burgers and am really picky about the burgers I eat so finding a good vegetarian burger is extra difficult to find (if you're out from LA/Socal, think Native Foods and Healthy Junk). So for a vegetarian burger choice, I think I'd still stick with Whole Foods because they can make a pretty mean vegetarian burger (if it's one of the newer locations with a burger option at their food prepping station). The service was friendly, helpful, and great if not a tad slow getting to you but that was because this place was packed the whole time. I'll definitely be frequenting this place while I'm still out here. This place is BYOB (bring your own beer) just as a heads up, also, per suggestion, you should be fine with walk-in during lunch but make sure to make reservations for dinner. Parking: Small shared lot Price: $12+ Wait: 15-20 mins

    This was my first vegetarian dining experience. They offer gluten and dairy free for those who need it but that wasn't required by anyone at our table. It's also a BYOB. It's a smaller place with cute decor. I love the 1/2 shutters on the windows. We made a reservation and I would do the same when I go back. I had the gazpacho as an appetizer. It was delicious but the portion was too large for an appetizer. This was a board special and I didn't see the bill so I don't know the cost. The waitress was kind enough to give me some my extra to go. For my entree I had a full size portion of the blue corn tacos. These these tasted like mini quesadillas to me. You can call them whatever you want, I call them FANTASTIC! The appetizer portion came with 2 and the dinner portion came with 4. There was a delicious black bean salad with cilantro and tomatoes that tasted so fresh! I could have had a plate of the beans on its own. The menu said it cAme with greens but it really was a small salad. See photos. I included she photos of menu items from other people in our party. The food was so colorful and everything tasted crispy, smelled fragrant. The service was great. We were party of 8. I never felt like I needed anything. The waitress knew the menu well and was able to explain entrees that were new to most of my group! Vegetarian or not? This place is a must! As we left I saw they have a great brunch $28 pre-fixe menu! I will definitely be back!

    I wanted to check this place out, it's difficult to find a good vegetarian restaurant. I drove all the way over on Sunday however, they apparently have a special "brunch" menu on Sunday's that doesn't offer any vegan items. So... I will find someplace else.

  • Risa R.

    Blue Sage -one of my most favorite restaurants of all time. I'm a vegan, so it's my kind of place, but I've gone with many of my friends who eat everything, and they love it too. The food is generally in the range of good to wonderful. They will make any entree into vegan if possible. The first time I looked at the menu, I couldn't really figure out what was being described - there are so many different foods and items that comprise one dish that it's difficult to imagine what type of food it will be from the description on the menu. The food is plated very nicely, and the portions are generous. It's not a large restaurant. They don't take reservations for lunch, so if you plan to come at at the height of the lunch hour, it may be crowded. You can make reservations for dinner on the weekends, which would be highly recommended.

  • Arod M.

    The best vegetarian/vegan fare I've had. Outperforms most big city spots. The Luna Buns were a revelation and the desserts were sinful. As a meat eater who is trying to cut back significantly and eat more vegetarian, I'd say this is a terrific gateway.

    First time at a vegetarian restaurant and I will surely be back to this! Great service, awesome food and I did not even miss not having any meat on my plate even though I am a meat and potato girl at heart. The presentation of the food is beautiful and the staff made us feel like family!

    Now that being a vegetarian is finally becoming a trend, it's so nice to find more and more restaurants like this. Blue sage definitely tops my list of good vegetarian restaurants. We had a 7 o'clock reservation, and the place was packed but they were able to seat us right away. People were waiting for quite some time if they didn't have a reservation. The place is cozy and tight. The waitress was amazing. Drinks always full, table clean, friendly, and overall just fantastic. The food was good and presented well! The nachos are definitely a must order item, they were the best dish. The portion sizes are biggg. We ended up taking a lot of goodie bags because we didn't think this would be very filling. Wish they would focus a little more on favor though. I felt some dishes were bland and dry, like the falafel. I would definitely recommend making a reservation and checking this place out!

    Everything is always great! I have been here many many times and for some reason always forgot to leave a review. The place is tiny. BYOB. You pretty much always need a reservations as its usually packed. Not for lunch. Pretty good chance of getting a table for lunch. The food is delish! Initially hubs wasn't thrilled with going vegetarian, but I assured him he wouldn't miss meat. He didn't. The flavor combination is terrific. They use a variety of veggies, mushrooms, grains and lots of yummy cheeses. Shoe string fries are always a go as well as all of the desserts are usually extremely yummy. They change their menu all the time to add more exciting dishes on. I love this place and will always come back to it.

  • Noeleen U.

    I should probably start off by explaining that I am not a vegetarian or vegan - I enjoy the taste and health benefits of the consumption of animal products far too much to forego them on a permanent basis. That being said, my dinner at Blue Sage tonight was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The food was fantastic, flavorful, and incredibly inventive. I truly appreciate the fact that they don't try to substitute non-meat items like tofu or seitan for traditional meat products in their dishes. It is an incredibly creative, delicious, and satisfying melange of vegetable fare in ways the average person could not imagine. I left feeling better than I had all week, with a wonderful meal in my belly and wonderful company with whom to share said meal. Dining out can be difficult for me, as I have a few food sensitivities. When I addressed this with the waitstaff at the beginning of our meal, they were incredibly attentive throughout. When we received the bill, and saw my food allergens listed and emphasized for all kitchen staff to be aware, I knew this would not be my only dining experience at Blue Sage. The continuity of care throughout the meal was stellar. Thank you so very much to all at Blue Sage!

    Blue Sage already has so many glowing reviews, but hey, what's one more!? I live out-of-state but come back to PA to visit my family often and one of my must-dos whenever I'm in town is dine at Blue Sage. It's one of few vegan-friendly places in the area, but even if there were tons more, I would still wildly crave Blue Sage's offerings. They very kindly mark their menu, indicating which options are vegan or can be altered to be vegan. The Taco Verduras are insanely amazing. So much flavor. I wish I could figure out how to replicate this dish at home. I also love the Chiles Con Pepitas Empanada on their dinner menu, as well as the Shepard's Pie, which is really unique! It uses a thai green curry coconut and poblano broth with big couscous and yams. Sounds crazy, but you just have to try it. I brought my sister here, who is not vegan or vegetarian, and she enjoyed it! The atmosphere is very cozy and makes for a great date night spot for dinner, or a great place to meet up with friends for lunch. It's definitely better to call ahead and get a reservation. Fortunately, the few times I showed up with out reservation, they were able to get us a spot; however, as a few other Yelpers indicated, that's not always the case.

    I wrote an honest review of our experience at this restaurant on Facebook & they reported it as abusive & had it removed. I suggested they change their info. It says "walk-ins are welcome", when they actually only take reservations. This would have been important information to know. When we arrived and asked how long the wait was for two, we were informed "We don't work like that." They suggested take out & said it would be about 10 minutes. We were there over 30 minutes & there were 6 empty tables the entire time. Had they seated us, we would have been at least halfway through our meal. Our takeout was in our opinion awful, but hopefully the food is better when you eat in. One of our dishes was miso soup. It was a Southwestern concoction with a lump of black bean paste, vegetables & a chunky cauliflower broth. I also disliked the nachos and Shepard's pie. The plantains were not bad, but not any different than you can make at home. It is all very expensive. Since they have nothing but good reviews, I think they do their best to remove anything that is not flattering. So if you do try Blue Sage, at least remember to make a reservation.

    Came to this gem for lunch which is over an hour away from our house and it was totally worth the drive. Blue sage is so unique above most vegetarian places I have tried. We had the taco appetizers, blue corn asparagus entree, queso quesadilla entree and hazelnut basket dessert. Wow!! There is such a rich variety of flavors that vegetarians and non vegetarians, like me, will never forget.

    Blue Sage offers and delicious and unique menu not often found in the Philadelphia suburbs. The pure vegetarian fare does not skimp on flavor or portion, though the prices are a little high. On previous visits the service has been slow, but last night or service was prompt and much appreciated since we were on a little bit of a time crunch. Here are the things I've had here that were excellent: Quesadilla rustica Mushroom risotto Falafel wrap Luna buns Nachos - HUGE and deliciously cheesy Khorma - mildly spicey but right on par

    As a vegetarian in the Philly suburbs, I want to love Blue Sage. I've eaten there a handful times and had two things I like. Sadly, the bahn mi is off the menu, as is the green curry shepherd's pie. I haven't really liked the other things I've tried. The portions, though huge, are cheesy and heavy. This is probably what appeals to the omnivores who sing the praises of Blue Sage. My main problem with this restaurant is the service. Last Friday, we had a reservation and the hostess told us our table would be ready in a few minutes. She disappeared, and none of the wait staff stopped by, and we waited for more than 30 minutes. Apparently, the open table we were eyeing was being held for someone else and they were waiting on someone to finish dessert and open a table for us. The hostess didn't seem apologetic, she didn't notify us that "a few minutes" would be upwards of half an hour, and she didn't check in. When I saw my favorites weren't on the menu, and I didn't know how much longer I would have to wait, we left. I want to give them one more chance, but I'm not sure I can. Maybe one night after a couple shots of whisky, we'll get back together for one last night. But then I'll wake up and realize I'm better off not trying to make this relationship work.

    Excellent service. Food is absolutely fantastic for enticing your taste buds. Definitely try the soups (tomato was my favorite), nachos with goat cheese, and the falafel wrap. The ranger cookie sandwich was really good but I felt like I needed a glass of milk or vanilla gelato instead to handle the sweetness. By far the best veggie food I've had in a while.

    The Blue Sage was a treat. We went for a networking lunch, myself and another woman. We really enjoyed it! It is very cramped in there, but luckily, we went at 2pm and it was clearing out quite a bit. The server was very plucky and fun. She was also on top of her job which is refreshing. My companion had the Asian citrus salad and she thought it was really fresh and very tasty. I had the sliders, which were delish! I also had the blue corn tacos, again not disappointed!!! I totally recommend stopping by this little hidden gem.

    EXCELLENT!!! as a non meat eater I must say I love that this restaurant promotes using veggies as veggies and not turning them in to "faux" meats. Their soups are excellent, pick up some when your ordering to go and bring it home! This is a BYOB, and make a reservation, its small and fills up quick!

    I have been to Blue Sage a couple of times each year since the restaurant opened (it's about 40 minutes from my house, so it's a special occasion to drive out there) and have been consistently pleased with my experiences. I always look forward to a great meal there for a reasonable price (Blue Sage is a BYO, so it's easy to get away with a meal for two for less than $50). I haven't had a meal at Blue Sage that I didn't enjoy. I'm an omnivore and love chicken wings, burgers, and steaks as much as the next girl, but you just don't miss the meat at Blue Sage. The food is delicious and creative. Don't get hung up on the ingredients on the menu -- they do a great job of blending flavors and textures, so if you don't know what it is, rest assured, you'll probably like how it fits in the dish. They have entrees ranging from tacos and quesadillas to wraps and risotto. They also tend to have great specials and the most amazing soups (which are available to be taken home with you, by the quart, I believe). The soups come in a huge bowl, so if you plan to make soup a part of your meal, choose something on the lighter side (like an appetizer) for your main course. The entrees in general are huge, so nine times out of ten you ended up taking some food home for the next day. My biggest (only) gripe about Blue Sage is that the restaurant itself is a little cramped. They have had a full house each night I've gone there (definitely make a reservation -- we have not had much luck with walk-ins), and because space is at a premium, there is often a spillage of waiting patrons from the entryway into the eating area resulting in some awkward bumps and what not. During my last visit there my friend kept getting her purse knocked off her chair. There just isn't any spare space and it gets kind of cramped at times. With all of that said, the food is so good, it's worth that minor aggravating aspect to enjoy a delicious vegetarian meal in the 'burbs.

    Five Stars? Yes. De-licious! I've never seen so many ingredients listed for menu items. Someone is having lots of fun experimenting in the kitchen with flavor combinations using creative oils, glazes and sauces.. The beet sliders are amazing - meaty, sweet, hearty - on perfect little brioche buns with micro-greens and a rich, creamy, green goddess dressing. The miso ramen was nothing like the Japanese version that I'm familiar with. This was a delicate broth - not salty at all - chocked full of exquisitely cooked, bite-sized vegetables (beets, green cauliflower). The surface liquid had been frothed up to a creamy foam - delightful! Sadly, no room for dessert. There will be a next time, oh, yes.

    This place is heaven. Amazing, fresh ingredients pieced together to make delicious seasonal meals. I order takeout almost every week and am always very impressed. The amount of food per meal is on the heavy side, but fits the price and it always keeps well. The corn potato chowder is the best soup I've had in the area. If you dine in, it's rather tight, but the food makes up for it.

    Almost everything I've tried here has been unbelievably good. It's not just "good for vegetarian food" it's amazing food period. Most vegetarian places I've tried I would say that the food could be better if they just used meat, but that is definitely not the case here. So many of the dishes have greens, squashes, nuts and other veggies I've never even heard of. It is our new tradition to go here as many times as we can everytime we come back to the area to visit family. My favorites are the grilled cheese with amazing tomato bisque and the blue-LT. The last time we went the wife got the crispy kale salad and that was delicious and impressively hearty as well. The only comment I would make is that the service is friendly but they often seem slightly overworked. Don't be surprised if there is a bit of a wait for orders to be taken and the check to arrive. It can also get quite noisy in there, which makes it tough to have a quiet conversation.

    I had a date and Blue Sage and my favorite part was being able to eat ANYTHING off the menu!!! I loved not worrying about hidden bacon and things! The food was very good. We ordered a bunch of yummy stuff! The Yukon Quesadilla is what I had, and it was good, but a little greasy. Even my meat-loving bf loved this place! The only bad points were the greasiness and the tightness in the restaurant.

    This is one of those places I keep going back to when I want to treat myself. I recommend getting a reservation because the place tends to be crowded (including on weekdays, early & late in the evenings). I have never ordered anything here that I didn't like. I am an omnivorous foodie. This place is great for any foodie. The dishes are not trying to fake meat flavor & texture, they are just great for what they are: vegetarian. Lots of vegan options as well. I highly recommend this place. I have pretty much taken my entire social circle here at some point. Some specific things I like here: Carnival, Nachos, Blue Plate, Poblano, all desserts...

  • Bob C.

    I have been there a few times the food was really good. But on weekends you should make a reservation as you could be waiting a long time for a table. It is good to make a reservation no matter when you go as they are always very busy. Love the place and the food.

  • Oren L.

    The Food is excellent. However I will have to deduct a star or 2 for there service. There takeout is always slow. If you call and they say 30 mins make sure to get there 15-20 mins later. Otherwise you will be standing around. A good rule of thumb is whenever they say a time add 20 mins to that. While I like the food the wait is very annoying it would help if they gave accurate times. I have never ordered there and it has actually been ready in 30 mins as opposed to most places where it is. Please stop giving the same ballpark answer.

    WHO KNEW??? When my friend told me we were going to celebrate another friend's birthday at a vegetarian restaurant, the first thing I did was invite her over for a cheesesteak a few hours before going to Blue Sage. I was determined not to starve at this party. I have this mental allergy to most veggies, and gourmet or not, I was DREADING this meal. I'm sorry I made my fears so vocal to the group we went with, because in the end, I ended up taking a lot of ribbing (pardon the carnie pun) from my group, as they took turns photographing me with various plates of delicious vegetarian appetizers and entrees. Who knew that vegetarian meals could be so wonderful? Yes, I can hear many of you yelling at this post...."We did." But you have to understand that my vegetarian experiences have been filled with freaky things like overcooked seitan, and mushy squashy things that left me running for a burger. All that changed tonight at Blue Sage. I tentatively started by sharing a Mediterranean Sampler, with some nice sauces, and a fried plantain chip dish with something that looked like my grandmother's home made chopped liver. It turned out to be a spicy black bean dip. YUM. I even took the last plantain when nobody would eat it (no plantain left behind, you know). Then the interesting entrees started arriving...friends ordered empanadas, Thai noodle dishes, tortilla dishes and spinach wraps filled with veggies, pears, and goat cheese. They all loved their dishes, and shared. It didn't kill me, so I pressed on. I, of course, played it safe with the wild mushroom risotto. I thought I knew what risotto tasted like, but I had only been dabbling with the amateurs, it seems. Beside the two kinds of shrooms, this dish had all kinds of veggies like cubes of tender butternut squash, onions, peppers (I think) and filled with a marscapone cheese center, along with some kind of wine sauce and parm cheese shavings. It was a "party in my mouth" as they say on food tv. The only strange thing in it were these tiny half spheres of green that had a strange texture. I guess I had a perplexed look on my face because the waiter came over and said, "I can see you look a little worried. Those are what we call Brussel sprouts." Ha ha, ok so I didn't identify them right away, it was good for a laugh. The waiter said it jokingly, not meanly though. I ate 3/4 of the dish until I was just eating for sport, and then took more teasing as I mumbled to our friendly waiter, "Umm...can I take the rest to go?". I was concerned about dessert, only because I had visions of weird vegan creations that would haunt my dreams. I took the waiter aside and asked him if the salted butterscotch pudding had milk in it. He said, "Yes, but I'd be glad to list some items that are vegan." I grimaced and said,"No, you misunderstood. I just wanted to make sure there WAS milk in it.". It arrived with real whipped cream and was great. I could have even taken it a bit saltier. It also had three ginger snaps on the side. Others got blueberry crumble and also something called a ranger cookie sundae. It was a chocolate mass of goodness that had the girls moaning and squealing. I whispered to a friend, "How much more crap am I gonna have to take if I wanna come back again next month?". I should've whispered softer... more crap and photos of me with my leftovers ensued. This meal though, my veggie-fearing friends, was worth the teasing, and yes, we are planning on coming back for lunch next month. I still want a cheesesteak tomorrow, but I will never forget my wonderfully delicious, beautifully presented and served meal at the Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. Vegetables......sheesh... WHO KNEW?

    Blue Sage has been my go to place during the Lenten season for the past few years! As someone who eats meat, I had doubts about trying it initially since it's a 100% vegetarian but I was pleasantly surprised and now I'm hooked! I love the feel of this place -- it's very charming. It's pretty small so I recommend that you make a reservation especially if you plan to go on a Friday or Saturday evening. Please also note that it's BYOB and the dessert menu changes occasionally. The adobo goat cheese nachos are a must try! I also recommend the black bean soup, the mediterranean sampler, the blue corn asparagus tacos, and the falafel wrap. The only dish that I tried, which I'm not fond of is the wild mushroom risotto.

  • Elena C.

    Wow. I can get behind any restaurant that makes me forget I'm a card-carrying carnivore. I had the El Fino wrap. Holy (not) cow. The tortilla was grilled so it was slightly crunchy and warm. The salad was fresh and perfectly complimented by gorgonzola, pecans, pears, and caramelized onion mayo. It was served alongside a huge salad with beet matchsticks, orange wedges, craisins, and a delicious pear walnut vinaigrette. T got the Blue L T, a take on a BLT. I think the star of his sandwich which featured avocado, yellow tomato, and maytag bleu cheese was the asiago "bacon" which added crunch and such amazing flavor. Service was great (she gave us lunch and dinner menus to take home to peruse) and we will DEFINITELY be back for dinner because I need to get that mushroom risotto.

    Blue Sage makes me think about vegetables and vegetarian eating in a whole new way. The dishes are incredibly creative, colorful, and most importantly, delicious. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is warm (and sometimes a bit loud as it seems to always be packed, and the tables are close together). At first I thought the prices were high for vegetarian food, but it makes sense when you see the portions and the creative sauces and ingredients. You can easily make 2 meals out of what you order. My favorite menu items so far have been the Plantains appetizer, the soups (I've had tomato and pumpkin I think), the Sonoma Sampler, and the Sliders. I'm already looking forward to my next visit when I am hoping to save room to try a dessert - so glad to have stumbled upon this restaurant which is now in my top 5!

    It amazes me how delicious everything is. I am not a vegetarian but my nephew is; so we recently had dinner there with him. I could not believe that vegetarian food could be so good. I would definitely go back. Atmosphere and quality of food was outstanding.

    My sister raves about this place so when I was in the area I decided to try it. I arrived at 4:55pm on a Saturday and was told that I couldn't be accommodated without a reservation. Anyone who is/was in the restaurant business knows that you can turn a single diner in 30 minutes. I guess the blue hairs that were in there must tip well since they can afford to turn away business. Next time a new person walks in realize that you have a chance to build new business. I won't be returning.

    I'm a meat eater but I like me some vegetarian. In my opinion, the Blue Sage could easily command a space in the likes of Rittenhouse Square but chooses to be at home in a small strip mall. (I'm glad for that). It is a small restaurant with maybe 10 tables or so. Seating can be cramped but no problem with me (we are used to that from our Center City stomping grounds). The inside has a neutral/relaxing tone. I am glad they don't have a ton of 'mock this and mock that' dishes that try to replicate meat (don't get me wrong, I like tofu, seitan, etc.). They are BYOB. They have some vegan options. We both like the dinner and lunch offerings. The food is really creative, nice presentation, good portions. Nothing is over-salted/over-sauced. From what I can see, it looks like a lot of the locals place orders for pick-up/take-home as well. The servers have always been great. They make killer homemade soups. They serve semi-thick; purée style soups in nice size bowls that are delicious. (so much so, that we will sometimes reserve a $10.00 quart of soup for take-home later before we begin to order our food from the server). I was hesitant at first but the 'Black Bean' soup is delish'. The also serve soups such as 'Thai Carrot bisque' and 'Spiced Indonesian & Sweet Potato'...... you get the drift.... yum - yum. Sometimes we will just order a bunch of appetizers. I actually like going for lunch over dinner sometimes because I like the sandwiches so much. A few samplings of things we like: The 'Mediterranean Sampler', 'Porto Cubano' & the 'Poblano'. We also like the 'El Fino' wrap and the 'Falafel' Gyro amongst many other selections. We love this place and will continue to return when we are in the area.

    Beautiful looking food, tasty as could be. Not light or "spa-like," this food is rich and flavor-filled. blini were great, as was the veggie risotto. i'd say the dessert (the chocolate mousse with some kind of very sweet cookie and candied pecans was just OK and certainly not novel, but everything else rocked.

    I love Blue Sage. I'm definitely not a vegetarian, but you really don't miss the meat in their dishes. Most recently I went for lunch on a Saturday, and ordered the crispy plantains with the sesame hummus and wasabi crema. It was really good, but very filling. I could only eat about half. All of their dishes are really quite large portions, and the veggies really fill you up so keep that in mind when ordering. An appetizer and an entree is definitely enough for two people. Raspberry iced tea was also delicious.

  • Adam P.

    Let's face it: Blue Sage is really, really good. I normally hate eating vegetarian (serious carnivore over here), but I'm always down for a meal at Blue Sage and have never been disappointed after several visits. My last trip included a round of their nachos (again, normally not a big fan but these were AWESOME), the exotic mushroom risotto (huge, rich, super complex, tons of 'shrooms), and the key lime 'cake' (my least favorite item of the night, still tasty though). Prices aren't exorbitant by any means, especially considering the gargantuan portions they hook you up with. We had to wait longer than I'd like for water refills, but our waiter was pleasant enough otherwise that I could almost overlook this pet peeve of mine. The blue plate is also delicious albeit the most expensive entree on the menu, and the quesadillas are a really good bang-for-your-buck if they're your thing. I'll be back for sure. Apparently they do take-out soup too?

    I grew up in this area and never knew of Blue Sage's existence until they were featured in Philadelphia Magazine for their sliders a few years back. (This was just on the brink of "sliders" popularity) Both were new to me and I headed over the next weekend to give Blue Sage a try. I must say, dining vegetarian and trying funky new things was DEFINITELY not my style but I was incredibly impressed and delighted. I then referred the spot to my parents.. mom was a little curious but skeptical.. dad (a big guy) raised on meat and potatoes was fearful the "froo-froo vegetarian food" wouldn't even fill a cavity for him. They too were impressed, delighted and stuffed! Sweet, cozy spot, amazing food, friendly staff and more food than I can usually handle. Can't wait to go back again!

    If you're a vegetarian, this is the place to go, and if you're not it's the place to take someone who isn't so they can see that you don't need meat to have a delicious meal. The soup here is amazing, and I have never had a bad meal. My only complaint is that it is small and it gets very loud. The tables are very close together, so don't plan on having a private conversation. Come here to eat, and you will enjoy yourself.

  • Cristin S.

    They need to open up another 10 restaurants to fit all the clientele they have at Blue Sage. Truly delicious and offbeat gourmet vegetarian cuisine. The asparagus tacos and chocolate toffee buttercream are my favorite. Truly amazing. I am probably going to ask them to cater my wedding when the day comes. Seriously.

  • Akshay M.

    When I suggested Blue sage to my cronies for celebrating a b'day dinner for our resident veggie friend, there was a lot of frowns and groans, as we were wandering into uncharted territories, as the concept of a vegetarian grill was quite foreign to us. It was quite a hike to get to this place, which is nicely tucked in a quiet corner of southhampton, PA. The place isn't that big either so make sure u have a reservation, we were 10 of us in the group and were glad we got seated without much delay. The decor is quaint, and the wait staff is extremely polite. Although I think there was only one waitress at the helm, she certainly did well at keeping all the tables without too much lag. Also Special brownie points for being a BYO. As we perused the menu, the crowd was getting a bit antsy with the lack of meat, but all the unrest was quelled as soon as the appetizers arrived. We had the mediterranean sampler which was probably the one that received the most adulations. The Asparagus Blue corn taco and the adobo goat cheese Nachos were also superb. Oh and the Soups were delish too. The common theme of all the food that made it's way to our table was that each ingredient was fresh, distinguishable and packed with so much taste contributing equally to the making of a stellar dish. The portion sizes were humongous too , but we just couldn't stop ordering food as we gorged on every morsel we could lay our hands on. The entrées though were a bit off, we had the Green shepherds pie curry, on which i think there was too much going on with the squashes, potatoes and couscous, the sonoma sampler was exquisite and fresh though more of a salady feel than an entree in my opinion. We also ordered the Quesa Havana which none of us had the courage to eat too much of as we were all saving ourselves for the desserts. Even though we were slipping into food coma, we fought our way through to get to the Hazelnut toffee basket and the picnic sundae. Both disappeared pretty quickly as many a battles were fought to get that one extra serving. the hazelnut was decadent and rich with flavours as it playfully lingered on my palate for quite a while. Overall, I would rate this as a four star in my book , but that one extra star is from my veggie friend who was starry-eyed at a place where we all ate like pigs, even though there wasn't any meat involved. cheers p.s: Reminds me of the Chick-Fil-A ads , i See chickens coming with a campaign of eat more veggies.

    I love, love, love this restaurant. I've been eating here at least once a year for about seven years now. I've never had a bad meal and my favorite, the blue corn asparagus tacos, are still excellent. This is great vegetarian/vegan cooking. The portions are huge and it is fun for everyone to order something different and share. If you are not into vegetarian food than you may not enjoy what the Blue Sage has to offer. The Blue Sage gets 5 stars because I've never had a bad experience. My only complaint is that it is super small so you are always jammed up on the people sittin around you and it makes for a noisy atmosphere. The kitchen can also be a little bit slow. The small dining room also makes it difficult to get into without a reservation. It is BYOB so bring a bottle of wine and relax! Definitely worth trying at least once!

  • Sammy G.

    I would probably give this place 3.5 stars if I could. The only reason I'm not crazy about it was I think that I had high expectations for it from friends and reviews- it was good, but not spectacular. I'm glad I tried it. It is very small and sometimes cramped, the picture on the website makes it seem bigger then it really is. We started off with Mediterranean Sampler, which was my favorite part. I don't think it's hummus, but whatever the green dipping sauce, it was amazing. It was my favorite part of the whole meal. I would order that and just eat that all night if I could. I got the Pad Thai (which isn't called that on the real menu) and it's good that they changed the name because it's really nothing like Pad Thai, in my opinion. I enjoyed it though. Different flavors and a small spice to it. I don't like my food drenched in a lot of sauces so I think that's what turned me off a bit. My boyfriend got the Green Curry Shepherds Pie and we thought it would be more of a solid dish, but it was more of a soup then a pie. He thought it tasted really good and I thought the same. Prices are more then I expected, but the portions are really big, a person could probably share a meal and be content with it. I think that since the portions are so big that it's okay to be that price, but it's not worth a second trip back for me. I would def recommend trying it at least once though.

  • Lolly G.

    So the weirdest part about Blue Sage is it's location. You'll drive to the middle of nowhere in a strip mall and wonder where you are. As soon as you walk in, you'll change your mind. Warning tho: this place is ALWAYS full every night of the week. You will need to make a reservation a few nights in advance. As a vegetarian this place is amazing, but you cant easily be an omnivore and love the place. I highly recommend the falafel wrap. It's the size of your head, and I always have some to take home. The crunchy buddha tacos are great too. They all come with side salads with amazing homemade dressings. The staff is always very friendly, and it's BYOB. The only complaint I would have with the place is that its usually loud each time I go. This is probably because it's so tiny but it sounds more like a club then a restaurant. Oh, and hope you don't mind sitting on top of people! Also, I read a review of someone saying that the portions are small. She was apparently not at Blue Sage. I don't know how anyone could even finish their portion.

  • Danan R.

    Not a vegetarian but I love love love the wild mushroom risotto (marsala broth with shitake and oyster mushrooms with marscarpone - yum!). Get it topped with the optional goat cheese and the fingerling potato salad(roasted potatoes, onions, pecans and gorgonzola in a honey mustard dressing) along with the blue corn asparagus (asparagus with pesto and monterey jack cheese in a BLUE tortilla) tacos. All of the dishes here are pretty original, delicious, and kinda addictive. The dining room is very small but cozy, which just adds to the charm. Plus they offer sparkling cider too. Definitely stop by, even to grab a few tacos to go.

    I really don't like leaving bad reviews. I try to be a person where if I don't have something nice to say then I just won't say anything. And I wanted to at least give the Sage 3 stars, because I'm all for vegetarian restaurants, but when I moused over the 3rd star and saw the 'A-OK' next to it I felt like I'd be lying if I wrote that. I really have experienced better, which is why I gave it two stars. I've been to Blue Sage (BS) around half a dozen times since they opened roughly 15 years ago; so I've basically been there once every couple of years, most recently less than a month ago for my sister's birthday on a week night. On each visit I'm hoping to be surprised by something interesting but unfortunately that never happens. Although I can tell the menu changes a little, it seems to always be anchored by the same ethnic tour of overly complicated vegetable dishes. Mediterranean, Caribbean, Mexican, Indian, Southeast Asian - they're all represented here. But they never seem as good as when I order something from a native restaurant. For example, the last time I was at BS I ordered the vegetarian banh mi which was on the dinner special menu. It was one of the few, if not the only, dishes that had tofu and I hadn't had tofu there before so I thought I'd give it a shot. It didn't remind me much flavor-wise of the vegetarian banh mi's i've had in South or West Philly. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the deal breaker was the thing was totally greasy. Like soaked in oil. And the salad greens on the side seemed to be coated in oil too, so they weren't much of a relief. To their credit, the sandwich was at least twice the size of a typical banh mi chay, so it would have made for good leftovers if it were edible. But since it wasn't, the fact that it was double the price of the real deal as well, frankly, sucked. But this is the kind of thing that happens to me all the time at BS. Something that looks interesting on the menu arrives and is either boring, overly complicated, or just plain inedible. Sigh. Another thing about BS is that it's always totally cramped in there. On my last visit, my party of 5, having made reservations in advance, arrived on a Tuesday evening shortly after they opened and in no time flat the place was full elbow to elbow. I'm glad they're that busy, and I understand maximizing revenue. But it's really darn uncomfortable! It felt like the parties to our left and right were all sitting at the same table as us. I kinda like the idea of a communal table but only if it were optional. A lot hasn't changed in the past 15 years and I don't expect it to. This place is definitely consistent and based on the number of five-star reviews a lot of people really seem to love this place. I wish I was one of them, but I just can't get amped about it. Someone mentioned their dish being perfect and their date's falafel being the best they had anywhere. Boy do I wish I could say the same. Hope you can, too.

  • Deskata H.

    I like the place. It's definitely worth trying if you haven't yet. Reservations are almost mandatory unless you want to hang around for half hour or so... Menu is really difficult to understand, so after reading for 15 min, my son said, "I'll just have ice tea..." - read - not kid friendly. My favorite lunch item is the Farmhouse cubano - I love the combination of eggplant, brie and whatever else they stuff it with to make it so super delicious. The dinner menu is the reason for the one star down. I haven't really had anything that I would give a 5 star rating. Although, most of the items were good, I wouldn't really spend time telling everyone about them. My sweets favorite is the Hazelnut Basket - it tastes like a ton of calories, but it's made of tofu, so eat away - it is healthy! :)

    Amazing food!!! For someone who needs meat for dinner... I totally forgot there wasn't any in the meal- because it was that delicious!! Get the plantains with mango salsa and wasabi crema, tomato bisque- good to the last drop, Cobb blue salad, Poblano with sphagetti squash, and for dessert- chicolate buttercream with hazelnuts!!!

    This place is horrible! Despite having made reservations, we were shoved in the corner and forgotten about; where was our waiter? The portions were small and pricey. The dining area and the parking lot are both very tiny. You could hardly move in either. Not a good set-up for an eat-in establishment. Many people rave about this place and I want everyone to know it is not all it's cracked up to be. It should have been left as a pizza place!

  • Drew W.

    Blue sage is not a typical vegetarian restaurant. From start to finish, there is something on the menu that will be great. The soups are piping hot and delicious. My favorite is the Thai peanut, but hurry because its all made fresh so when they are out, that's it. The entrees are all really good and the sandwiches are great. I love the Vietnamese hoagie, but that's now off the menu, so it's gotta be the el fino. But without a doubt the best dessert, after trying a lot, is the reconstructed blueberry pie. You will agree, I know it.

  • Danielle H.

    The space is cramped to the point where your neighbors become your bffs, but its not enough to deter me from going there. Our servers have always been really nice and attentive everytime we have gone, even though they are always packed because of the small amount of tables. Everything I've had there has been good. The menu changes often, and I've always ordered something different and have never been disappointed. My favorite things have been the tostones appetizer, the dipping parfait is very good, and the dessert hazelnut toffee basket, the mousse is very intense, rich chocolate and the hazelnut toffee piece is amazing. The dishes are always plated well, flavorful, and we usually have enough to take home.

  • Carolyn S.

    Definitely one of the best vegetarian restaurants I've ever been to. And I love that they don't use any meat substitutes in any of their dishes! Not that I have anything against soy or wheat meat, but the lack of tofu or seitan-based entrees just makes Blue Sage get that much more creative with their menu. I've eaten here I think 4 times now, and there are a few dishes that continue to floor me every time: Green Curry BBQ Summer Rolls - holy crap, these are some delicious summer rolls. Filled with baby spinach, mango, Thai barbeque glazed veggies, smoked red onion, ginger & basil, these rolls were so flavorful they hardly even needed the dipping sauces that came with. (Those dipping sauces are phenomenal though, so I'm glad they are there). The side salad is just meh, but who cares, the rolls are amazing. Sliders - cute little brioche burger buns stuffed with avocado, mango, sun dried grape tomatoes, goat cheese and some kind of crazy delicious mango glaze. These little burgers are a complete taste explosion. In fact people I've dined here with have said they might just order a plate of these sliders as their entree next time, they are so good. The pound of yucca fries that come with, however, aren't great. So what I do is substitute the fries for the side salad/corn and bean salsa that normally comes with the Asparagus Tacos, and the kitchen has been more than happy to accommodate. And THAT makes for the perfect appetizer. Seriously, anywhere. And last but not least - the Cubano Supper. Flaky plantain pastries stuffed with sunflower seed-smoked red pepper pesto, with a tower of yellow tomatoes & avocado corn salsa in the middle. Chipotle jicama slaw & mango-papaya relish surrounded the tomato mountain. All I can say is wow. There were so many different flavors and textures going on, each flavor complimenting the next so perfectly. The plantain pastries (crispy on the outside, tender on the inside) were the perfect vehicles on which to pile the multiple sauces, relishes and salsas. I wouldn't change a single thing about this dish. The East West Bento Box deserves an honorable mention. It includes lentil and pine nut dumplings, an avocado salad, and a cup of red curry. It was good, but I found each component by itself was a little lacking in flavor. But when I mixed everything together, now that was the flavor I was looking for. Every carnivore I've brought here has left amazed. My NYC friend even deemed Blue Sage better than most of the trendy Manhattan veggie spots, and I would agree. Blue Sage puts the entire East Village to shame!

    Probably one of my favorite restaurants, ever! Everything is delicious and fresh. I've been going here for 5+ years. It's not as close to where I live now, but it's worth the 40ish minute drive. I've been here with friends, family, non-vegetarians and they all love it. My favorite dish is the Sanoma Sampler with goat cheese. On the lunch menu, the farmhouse cubano is delish. Eat-in or take-out. The place is kinda small, so if you are going for din make a reservation.

    easily the best vegetarian restaurant I've eaten at and will continue to eat at. Variety, BYOB, great staff.... you might even make a friend and share some wine with a neighbor since its a little tight. Nothing like great food and atmosphere to compliment a unique restaurant. I highly recommend.

    Been meaning to go here for YEARS and it did live up to the hype. I'll try not go into too much detail as other Yelpers have covered the bases... It is a small BYOB tucked into a little shopping complex. Very unassuming and I actually enjoyed the relaxed non-formal atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly (over the phone, the hostess, server) and they even had some great jazz and latino folk music playing. We brought a bottle of wine which was no problem. Service overall was very attentive. But, it was a bit quiet when we arrived. We showed up not long after they opened and ate early because we had trouble finding a later reservation. Definitely make reservations as this place fills up! Only downside is that it appears to get a bit cramped later on as the tables fill up. (Which could affect service?) It is a small place. But that would be the only downside we saw... Now on to the meal... We tried the Green Curry BBQ Summer Rolls as an app, and Cubano Supper and stuffed Poblano pepper special as entrees. Everything was delicious and I have to echo some other Yelpers thoughts about the uniqueness and presentation of each dish. With no meat substitues they combine ordinary vegetables into delicious works of art. Seriously. For instance, look at the combinations to make just one PART of the Cubano Supper: "Flaky plantain pastries stuffed with sunflower seed-smoked red pepper pesto." All of those small ingredients combined to make something so tasty. And the perfect combinations of spiciness, sweetness, flakiness, creaminess, etc. Pretty affordable. Soups are $5. Apps are about $10. Main entrees are about $20. Can you also believe that the portions are very big? We didn't have room for dessert (which sounded fantastic). Oh well. Next time.

    SO good! I was a little skeptical about making the drive out to Southampton, PA (never even heard of it) but wow, totally worth every ounce of gas. When I first got to my destination I almost passed it up because the outside was so inconspicuous and unassuming. It was literally just a white building with windows and their sign. Looking back I think they could totally do well with some outside beautification and possibly add some outdoor patio seating! :) Anyway, upon entering, the place was actually rather cute inside and packed with people (always a good sign). The crowd was comprised mostly of young and middle aged people - no overly granola-type people or hipsters to be found in this vegetarian spot! Our server was nice and OMG the food was amazing. My friend and I split 2 entrees: the Koagie (or Korean hoagie, for those who are unfamiliar) and the Farmhouse Cubano sandwich. Both were served in really generous portions (neither of us could finish) and a side of greens. We happily ate our meal and talked over what ended up being 2 hours...mean while the restaurant never seemed to have more than one open table at a time; the customers kept on coming. Still, we were never rushed from our seats or made to feel like they needed the space. I would definitely return again!

    It's my fantasy to start something like this locally so people can see that being a vegetarian is not about deprivation. Blue Sage offers savory, hearty, flavorful food that is simply wonderful cuisine. It seems to attract a diverse crowd who cannot all possibly be vegetarian. I plan on dragging all my friends here, because I cannot cook like this and wonder how they do it. I try to scope out the vegan dishes but could not resist the Wild Mushroom Risotto with goat cheese. This is not spare cooking nor is it low-fat. We were stuffed with 2 entrees and a soup. Decor is warm and earthy and elegant, and the service is friendly and excellent and non-intrusive. Reservations are needed; we saw people coming in the whole time, and there is not much room to wait. In fact, there is not much room at all, and my one wish is that there was more space between the tables to give you a bit more privacy. Unless you are a supermodel, you will be brushing many tables on your way to the bathroom. Maybe they will expand some day. It's funny to see people dressed in dinner jackets alongside people in hoodies. I am getting a little bossy here, but I think one's dining experience is improved by fancying up just a bit to honor the occasion. It's amazing that Blue Sage is BYOB, which cuts your bill in half if you are a wine drinker. Entrees are about $20 each and well worth it, though you can order from the more casual section where dishes were around $12. I'd also love to get a sampling of their amazing appetizers sometime. I wish for the day when people will get a craving for vegetarian like they do for sushi or Indian.

    Unacceptably poor service. Arrived 5 minutes prior to our 8pm reservation, were asked to wait a few minutes, which was fine. Another party arrived 10 minutes late for their 8pm reservation and were immediately seated. This was not fine. Were told wait was "5 more minutes", then ignored. A second party arrived for their 8:15 reservation and were seated within a few minutes, while we continued to wait. The table the hostess indicated would be ours was not available, because the previous party was languishing in wait for their check, while the hostess was nowhere to be seen. Hostess was rude and dismissive. We left without ever seeing a table, 30 minutes after our initial reservation time. It was a shame, because the food looked and smelled good.

  • Ginger B.

    I was shocked by how good their food was. I went with three other people, and we all got different entrees, appetizers, and desserts... and every single thing we tried was awesome. The desserts were insane. The risotto and empanadas were delicately-flavored, but satisfying as well. The housemade smoked pepper hummus was so good, we were tempted to ask about buying tubs of it to take home. The meals were all so well put-together that our two omnivores were just as satisfied as our two vegetarians. I've only been vegetarian for two years, and I'll admit- vegetarian food can be pretty bland. But Blue Sage had the best food I've ever had, meatless or otherwise. And, I don't want to sound like I'm trying to come off as some sort of pretentious food critic, but I've eaten at some of Manhattan's most highly-rated restaurants (Jean Georges, for example), and Blue Sage is officially my favorite restuarant. The time they put into perfecting each dish, and the skill with which they bring out each flavor is amazing. High quality, gourmet cuisine without the pretentiousness (or the price).

    This is my favorite restaurant on the planet! I've been a faithful patron for several years and have never once been disappointed. The menu changes slightly now and then, but I have tried almost every single item and loved it. Out of all the phenomenally delicious and inventive dishes, I have to admit that my favorite items are always the soups. They are flavorful, filling, and just perfect. The desserts are delicious, too. I used to have daydreams about the chocolate raspberry tart, but sadly, during my most recent visit it was no longer on the menu. My boyfriend's family (all devoted meat eaters) have taken me here many times and always end up talking for weeks about how fantastic the meal is. It is true that the restaurant gets crowded, but on some occasions that has inspired pleasant and memorable conversation with surrounding tables. The staff is friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The portions are absolutely enormous, I never finish anything, but coming home with giant bags of food is half the fun :) I have been to many vegetarian and vegan restaurants in Philadelphia, New York, etc., but Blue Sage is still my favorite!

  • Jess L.

    I don't understand anything less than 4 stars for Blue Sage. I don't live in the area anymore but whenever I'm back in town, I always make sure to go. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians can find something here. My dad (meat eater) likes to get the adobe nachos or either of the quesas. And as other non-vegetarian reviewers have mentioned the nachos are insanely good. The Sonoma Sampler is definitely my favorite but the Cubano Supper is a close second. Yes, Blue Sage is kind of in the middle of nowhere and its small, but the food more than makes up for it.

    Being a clean eater that strays away from meat and gluten makes it a little difficult to go out to eat. Finding someone to dine with at a vegetarian restaurant can be difficult so I often find myself saying "I'll just get a salad" when going out to eat with friends. At Blue Sage there were many options for me and I couldn't have been more pleased. Before I get to the food I would first like to compliment our server, Charlee. She was very kind and well educated on the menu. This is important because I can't eat gluten and get very nervous when dining at a restaurant for the first time. She made my first experience at Blue Sage fantastic!! For starters, she offered a delicious UNSWEETENED raspberry iced tea, which is almost impossible to find! We also got an appetizer, the Tacos Verduras. The amount of texture and flavor piled high on a homemade blue corn taco was more than satisfying. I split this with a friend but was tempted to put in another order as my meal. Instead of doing that I went for the miso pumpkin soup. The miso broth was jam packed with flavor and even developed a slight creamy texture. The soup was hearty and had medium, bite sized chunks of cauliflower and pumpkin which was accompanied but the punch of flavor possessed by scallions. I was In love. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the service, flavor, portions and prices. I am so excited to go back to Blue Sage and try more of their menu!

    After moving from LA to Philly and not having great vegetarian options, I think I've finally found a spot that can be my little LA out here (thanks to my friends who introduced me to this place and brought me here). It's quite easy to miss this restaurant with its unassuming storefront and shared stores on the same strip mall so keep your eyes peeled when you drive here but once you go inside, you're in a cozy yet exciting place. The restaurant was buzzing with conversation, people laughing, and everyone from the waitresses to the patrons were having an all around good time there. Seating is close but you won't have to whisper to keep your conversations private because everyone there seemed engaged in the conversations they were having with their friends and family. There's not a whole lot of space so once you get seated, get comfy. There are plenty of items to choose from on the menu from sandwiches to soups to wraps to salads (duh) and you can't go wrong with what you pick. The dishes here are served with tons of flavor and the portions aren't shabby either. The hummus and falafel appetizer was tasty and creamy along with crunchy and grainy, a perfect combo. I had one of their sandwiches and man, it was absolutely delicious. Not only was it juicy and full of flavor but I totally forgot that there was no meat in it at all. The salad along with the dressing it came with was delicious also. The greens tasted fresh and crisp (none of that iceberg lettuce crap) and they weren't overpowered by the dressing. The only thing I felt like I missed from their menu was a choice of vegetarian/vegan burger. I love eating burgers and am really picky about the burgers I eat so finding a good vegetarian burger is extra difficult to find (if you're out from LA/Socal, think Native Foods and Healthy Junk). So for a vegetarian burger choice, I think I'd still stick with Whole Foods because they can make a pretty mean vegetarian burger (if it's one of the newer locations with a burger option at their food prepping station). The service was friendly, helpful, and great if not a tad slow getting to you but that was because this place was packed the whole time. I'll definitely be frequenting this place while I'm still out here. This place is BYOB (bring your own beer) just as a heads up, also, per suggestion, you should be fine with walk-in during lunch but make sure to make reservations for dinner. Parking: Small shared lot Price: $12+ Wait: 15-20 mins

    This was my first vegetarian dining experience. They offer gluten and dairy free for those who need it but that wasn't required by anyone at our table. It's also a BYOB. It's a smaller place with cute decor. I love the 1/2 shutters on the windows. We made a reservation and I would do the same when I go back. I had the gazpacho as an appetizer. It was delicious but the portion was too large for an appetizer. This was a board special and I didn't see the bill so I don't know the cost. The waitress was kind enough to give me some my extra to go. For my entree I had a full size portion of the blue corn tacos. These these tasted like mini quesadillas to me. You can call them whatever you want, I call them FANTASTIC! The appetizer portion came with 2 and the dinner portion came with 4. There was a delicious black bean salad with cilantro and tomatoes that tasted so fresh! I could have had a plate of the beans on its own. The menu said it cAme with greens but it really was a small salad. See photos. I included she photos of menu items from other people in our party. The food was so colorful and everything tasted crispy, smelled fragrant. The service was great. We were party of 8. I never felt like I needed anything. The waitress knew the menu well and was able to explain entrees that were new to most of my group! Vegetarian or not? This place is a must! As we left I saw they have a great brunch $28 pre-fixe menu! I will definitely be back!

    I wanted to check this place out, it's difficult to find a good vegetarian restaurant. I drove all the way over on Sunday however, they apparently have a special "brunch" menu on Sunday's that doesn't offer any vegan items. So... I will find someplace else.

  • Risa R.

    Blue Sage -one of my most favorite restaurants of all time. I'm a vegan, so it's my kind of place, but I've gone with many of my friends who eat everything, and they love it too. The food is generally in the range of good to wonderful. They will make any entree into vegan if possible. The first time I looked at the menu, I couldn't really figure out what was being described - there are so many different foods and items that comprise one dish that it's difficult to imagine what type of food it will be from the description on the menu. The food is plated very nicely, and the portions are generous. It's not a large restaurant. They don't take reservations for lunch, so if you plan to come at at the height of the lunch hour, it may be crowded. You can make reservations for dinner on the weekends, which would be highly recommended.

  • Arod M.

    The best vegetarian/vegan fare I've had. Outperforms most big city spots. The Luna Buns were a revelation and the desserts were sinful. As a meat eater who is trying to cut back significantly and eat more vegetarian, I'd say this is a terrific gateway.

    First time at a vegetarian restaurant and I will surely be back to this! Great service, awesome food and I did not even miss not having any meat on my plate even though I am a meat and potato girl at heart. The presentation of the food is beautiful and the staff made us feel like family!

  • Komal D.

    Now that being a vegetarian is finally becoming a trend, it's so nice to find more and more restaurants like this. Blue sage definitely tops my list of good vegetarian restaurants. We had a 7 o'clock reservation, and the place was packed but they were able to seat us right away. People were waiting for quite some time if they didn't have a reservation. The place is cozy and tight. The waitress was amazing. Drinks always full, table clean, friendly, and overall just fantastic. The food was good and presented well! The nachos are definitely a must order item, they were the best dish. The portion sizes are biggg. We ended up taking a lot of goodie bags because we didn't think this would be very filling. Wish they would focus a little more on favor though. I felt some dishes were bland and dry, like the falafel. I would definitely recommend making a reservation and checking this place out!

    Everything is always great! I have been here many many times and for some reason always forgot to leave a review. The place is tiny. BYOB. You pretty much always need a reservations as its usually packed. Not for lunch. Pretty good chance of getting a table for lunch. The food is delish! Initially hubs wasn't thrilled with going vegetarian, but I assured him he wouldn't miss meat. He didn't. The flavor combination is terrific. They use a variety of veggies, mushrooms, grains and lots of yummy cheeses. Shoe string fries are always a go as well as all of the desserts are usually extremely yummy. They change their menu all the time to add more exciting dishes on. I love this place and will always come back to it.

  • Noeleen U.

    I should probably start off by explaining that I am not a vegetarian or vegan - I enjoy the taste and health benefits of the consumption of animal products far too much to forego them on a permanent basis. That being said, my dinner at Blue Sage tonight was one of the best dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The food was fantastic, flavorful, and incredibly inventive. I truly appreciate the fact that they don't try to substitute non-meat items like tofu or seitan for traditional meat products in their dishes. It is an incredibly creative, delicious, and satisfying melange of vegetable fare in ways the average person could not imagine. I left feeling better than I had all week, with a wonderful meal in my belly and wonderful company with whom to share said meal. Dining out can be difficult for me, as I have a few food sensitivities. When I addressed this with the waitstaff at the beginning of our meal, they were incredibly attentive throughout. When we received the bill, and saw my food allergens listed and emphasized for all kitchen staff to be aware, I knew this would not be my only dining experience at Blue Sage. The continuity of care throughout the meal was stellar. Thank you so very much to all at Blue Sage!

    Blue Sage already has so many glowing reviews, but hey, what's one more!? I live out-of-state but come back to PA to visit my family often and one of my must-dos whenever I'm in town is dine at Blue Sage. It's one of few vegan-friendly places in the area, but even if there were tons more, I would still wildly crave Blue Sage's offerings. They very kindly mark their menu, indicating which options are vegan or can be altered to be vegan. The Taco Verduras are insanely amazing. So much flavor. I wish I could figure out how to replicate this dish at home. I also love the Chiles Con Pepitas Empanada on their dinner menu, as well as the Shepard's Pie, which is really unique! It uses a thai green curry coconut and poblano broth with big couscous and yams. Sounds crazy, but you just have to try it. I brought my sister here, who is not vegan or vegetarian, and she enjoyed it! The atmosphere is very cozy and makes for a great date night spot for dinner, or a great place to meet up with friends for lunch. It's definitely better to call ahead and get a reservation. Fortunately, the few times I showed up with out reservation, they were able to get us a spot; however, as a few other Yelpers indicated, that's not always the case.

    I wrote an honest review of our experience at this restaurant on Facebook & they reported it as abusive & had it removed. I suggested they change their info. It says "walk-ins are welcome", when they actually only take reservations. This would have been important information to know. When we arrived and asked how long the wait was for two, we were informed "We don't work like that." They suggested take out & said it would be about 10 minutes. We were there over 30 minutes & there were 6 empty tables the entire time. Had they seated us, we would have been at least halfway through our meal. Our takeout was in our opinion awful, but hopefully the food is better when you eat in. One of our dishes was miso soup. It was a Southwestern concoction with a lump of black bean paste, vegetables & a chunky cauliflower broth. I also disliked the nachos and Shepard's pie. The plantains were not bad, but not any different than you can make at home. It is all very expensive. Since they have nothing but good reviews, I think they do their best to remove anything that is not flattering. So if you do try Blue Sage, at least remember to make a reservation.

    Came to this gem for lunch which is over an hour away from our house and it was totally worth the drive. Blue sage is so unique above most vegetarian places I have tried. We had the taco appetizers, blue corn asparagus entree, queso quesadilla entree and hazelnut basket dessert. Wow!! There is such a rich variety of flavors that vegetarians and non vegetarians, like me, will never forget.

    Blue Sage offers and delicious and unique menu not often found in the Philadelphia suburbs. The pure vegetarian fare does not skimp on flavor or portion, though the prices are a little high. On previous visits the service has been slow, but last night or service was prompt and much appreciated since we were on a little bit of a time crunch. Here are the things I've had here that were excellent: Quesadilla rustica Mushroom risotto Falafel wrap Luna buns Nachos - HUGE and deliciously cheesy Khorma - mildly spicey but right on par

    Absolutely delicious foods!! Hard to find a vegan restaurant in the area and this was definitely an amazing find. People who worked there were so friendly and knew what they were talking about when it came to answering questions relating to the foods offered.

  • Trish S.

    I see that most of the other reviews are along the lines of "best meal ever," "I love it here" and so on, but honestly I was just not impressed. Waiting in the hallway to be seated for our reservation was awkward and uncomfortable- since the facility is so tiny, you are basically standing right over someone's table while waiting to be seated. So right from the start it just didn't feel right. The dining room is pretty, with salmon orange walls and a midnight blue ceiling, but the decor is uninspired. Even the menus (which I do understand since they change them quite often) are boring to look at. Reading the descriptions of the meals, however, you'll want to order one of everything. We ordered the Arancini appetizer to start which was this description: "Almond crusted green apple risotto fritters with gazpacho dipping sauce and dry aged goat cheese." YUM, right? Meh. My boyfriend thought they were great, and I was a huge fan of the gazpacho dipping sauce, but the fritters... I just couldn't place the taste. By the time they got to our table (which wasn't too long, about 10 minutes), I had totally forgotten what was supposed to be in them, and they left a weird taste. Boyfriend ordered the Rustica dish, which was a pretty pricy entree with a Quesadilla cut into 4 pieces, filled with mozzarella, tomatoes, and other yummy stuff. The rest of the place was covered in a black bean salad (which he didn't finish because it was a bit overwhelming), and arugula. I ordered some sandwich with a chick pea burger type thing (which I will definitely try to recreate). It was alright, but just kind of weird. The salad with it was uninspired. I feel like I got the short end of the stick compared to all of these other reviews!! Everything was just okay, and for the price, I expect better than "just okay." I 100% encourage the idea of this gourmet vegetarian, and maybe my vegetable palate isn't as advanced as all of these other raters. I don't think I'll be back, but since this was a place I had been wanting to go for a while, I'm glad we got the chance.

Second course was French Toast... So big we couldn't finish. I had a Virgin Mary, spiced "just right" not too spicy & very flavorful. Wait staff attentive & with out being intrusive. Can't remember if there was music. Next time I go, it will be w hubby for dinner. It's BYO.

    I may be missing the point of a vegetarian restaurant, seeing as I refuse to eat salad or any vegetables that are cooked or added flavor to in any way, but I just don't see the appeal. What kind of madman eats an enormous wrap, while making it whole grain in a futile attempt at keeping it healthy? Just stay home and eat some whole wheat bread, and be disappointed for free!

    So rude. Went to dinner with my son at least eight tables that I counted open. This is around 6:30. Manager from the back came out and said no reservation we can seat you. We have more reservations coming in at 7:30. Really!!!Blue sage....he told me that he would be happy to let me order take out. Went to Oishi way better anyway. Blue Sage I have been a customer for at least ten years. That is the end! In this economy I hope you survive with your lack of skills. Customer turnover happens you will need more. LOTSA Luck!!

    The food is unbelievable here, but for the love of god, PLEASE EXPAND ALREADY! Sitting on top of your neighbor with tables inches apart might work in New York or LA, but not in a suburb of Montgomery County.

    Went here a couple of months ago with friends and didn't have a great experience. I received a gift certificate for my birthday and decided to give it another shot and it was terrible. Went to brunch with my friend who is a vegan and I'm a vegetarian (but I don't eat egg) thinking we would have plenty of options. So wrong. There were only a couple of options on the fixed menu but nothing that really sounded appealing, when inquiring about customizing a vegetarian option I was told they don't do that. The waiter/supervisor seemed combative and offended we wanted to try and change anything. The food itself was just too much. It felt like all the favors were trying to overpower one another and just tasted awful. The salads were just watercress which was more stems than leaf. Honestly, a lot of these options could be made vegan otherwise, I could go to any restaurant for pancakes and save myself $20. When we got the bill we were told it wasn't our bill but that it was the same price and to pay anyway. I told the guy to get our bill but he said it didn't matter since it was the same price I tried again and he wouldn't take it. Overall This place used to be something special. It used to about good vegetarian/vegan food. Somewhere along the way its ego grew too large for its britches. Would NEVER come back and I plan to steer all my friends away.

    Small intimate vegetarian grille with delicious menu. We enjoyed our water with lemons and an assortment of hot teas. Quesa Havana was filled with fresh mango slices mixed with black beans and a salsa with a kick of spice. Fresh guacamole and chipotle sauce. Grilled cheese with tomato bisque and garden greens hit the spot on a rainy day.

    Blue Sage is a dear friend's favorite restaurant, and as a result of our many visits there with her, we agree that it is excellent! My husband is a very proud carnivore who initially feared he would be hungry after dinner at a veg restaurant. He is a convert. Our tongues dance as our bellies fill with the deliciousness offered here. We always order the Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos (shout-out to our fellow Yelpers for the recommendation) as an appetizer and are huge fans of the Cobb Blue Salad and Mediterranean Sampler. From the Mister's perspective, no Blue Sage meal is complete without a Hazelnut Toffee Basket and coffee. With its contrasting textures and complementary flavors, it is lust-worthy. Here, I was also introduced to the joys of lavender tulsi tea (to which I am addicted during the winter months, especially when enhanced with a splash of Berenjager). As others have noted, a reservation is a must in this tiny, shoebox of a restaurant. And the waitstaff is PHENOMENAL.

    Five stars for a vegetarian restaurant? Have I lost my mind? This is proof that I somehow managed to step into a parallel universe a few weeks ago. This carnivore wouldn't have even considered eating in a place like this back in the day. Not sure exactly when the body snatching took place or when the aliens came down and altered my DNA. But what I do know is that I ate an amazingly delicious vegetarian meal during my recent trip to Blue Sage. If you know me and are reading this, you know that the real Christopher K. has clearly been replaced by an impostor. Vegetarian food is not supposed to taste good unless you're a rabbit. Having only recently begun experimenting with better eating habits, I've been eager to seek out any remotely healthy restaurant that also has a great reputation for serving up delicious food. It's amazing how little the Yelp gives up when you do a search for healthy vegetarian food in New Jersey. It took me dragging the map all the way across the border into Bucks County, PA before finally stumbling upon the Blue Sage Grille in Southampton. I had never even heard of Southampton, but I did notice it was less than a half hour from one of my best friend's houses in Lawrenceville. Oh, and he happens to be a hardcore vegetarian and sometime vegan. Normally, I avoid eating out with this guy. Why? Because I'm shallow when it comes to food, and for years I have consistently avoided dining with anyone who is a strict veggievore, gluten-free zombie, or some other form of culinary pain-in-the-ass. You see, I like food. Real food. Meat. Red meat. Big pieces of red meat, cooked rare, bloody and still twitching on the plate. Yes sir, that's how real men eat. But not tonight. Tonight I was going to eat healthy. So I drove over an hour to experience the Blue Sage Grille, picking up my normally annoying friend on the way. It was a night that could not go wrong, especially once I saw that Gerald S. had eaten here and awarded them the coveted 5-star review. After a lovely drive on backroads through some historic part of Pennsylvania, we arrived. It was early, but it was already busy. Asked if we had a reservation, I replied no. The nice girl then explained that they were booked for the next two hours. Two hours? Sorry, toots. Wrong answer. I then mounted a brief charm offensive and we were immediately sat. It's so cliche in my opinion for a meat lover to suddenly wax poetic about an amazing dining experience in a vegetarian restaurant, but I kid you all not when I say I absolutely fell in love with everything I ate here. I will go so far as to say you cannot come here and *not* like this food, no matter what your weird food quirks may be. We started with the Classic Sliders -- Four mini brioche buns with yellow tomato and avocado relish, fontina, green tabasco aioli, and arugula. I couldn't even believe how good these were. So much flavor, wonderful textures... a total winner. And the buns themselves were probably the best slider rolls I have ever eaten. Extra points for the shoestring fries. Normally, I hate shoestring fries, but these were addictingly good. Despite the sliders putting a big dent into our appetites, we pressed on with the main course. My buddy had the Pan Bagna, a pressed sandwich starring chickpea fritters. I ordered the Blue LT -- yellow tomato, sliced avocado, crispy Asiago "bacon," pea leaves, Maytag blue cheese, and more of that green tabasco aioli, all piled high on multi-grain bread. Again, a total shocker in terms of how good it was. The crispy Asiago bacon had all the texture and flavor of bacon, but was unique enough to avoid falling into the dreaded uncanny valley. This sandwich really works. The ingredients are so incredibly fresh and delicious. I cannot recommend it highly enough. And that was it. No room for dessert. And that's a shame because each dessert coming out of the kitchen looked more amazing than the next. Have I convinced you yet? I hope so, because this was a great discovery for a non-believer, and it's well worth sharing. The one thing I will say is that while this food may indeed be healthy, it's certainly not low calorie. This is decadent vegetarian (and in some cases, vegan) food. You will not be able to finish your plate and you will indeed be full for hours. And I mean that really happy kind of full. I'll definitely be back, and this time with a reservation. :)

    I have never had a bad meal here, my only complaint would be the atmosphere It's really a noisy little place. People raise the voices so loud so there own table can hear what they said! Ugh you may like to choose take out!

    I took my mom and a friend to Blue Sage Grill for Mother's day and the services was horrible and the food was not that good the only item we enjoyed is the sliders. My waitress never ask us how's the food or offer water refill. I'm so upset that my boss refer me to dine at this restaurant and my experience was bad. I wasted $90 and will never eat here again. Very disappointed in the way we were treated.

    Seriously amazing! We got mushroom buns and almond encrusted tofu tacos for apps and the Carnival (substituted cheese for cashew cream cream) for dinner. The Carnival is a butternut squash filled with black rice, walnuts, and cranberries with a side of veggies in a beat sauce. Delicious and highly recommend this place!

    I've only been here for brunch and did not have a decent time here. The service was extremely slow and my meal was a little burnt. I had an eggs benedict with this fried piece of cheese on top. I wasn't impressed I will be sure to come here again for a more extensive review

    Now I have been here twice with my boyfriend, once in the winter and once in the spring/early summer. The place is small, so make sure you make a reservation. In winter, I got the pumpkin arachini rice balls along with the stuffed butternut squash - both were SO GOOD! My boyfriend got the sliders and the chicken and waffles - he loved the sliders but thought the chicken and waffles was better the next day. We had the hazelnut mousse for dessert, but that's nothing to write home about. However, the portions are HUGE and are very reasonably priced, and are definitely beautifully presented. Since most of the menu is very fall-based, when we came back in spring, i thought for sure there would be new items on the menu - but there were not! I certainly don't want to be eating hot wintery things on a hot summer day! So that was definitely updsetting. However, this time I got their smoked tomato gazpacho and the falafel wrap. Deeeelicious! And my BF got these chinese things and the bagette, and really enjoyed the bagette. for dessert I got a scrumptious cashew praline tart, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD AMAZING! The wait staff was very nice, and my BF had bug in his salad, and they comped us his dinner and gave us a free dessert, beyond generous. Needless to say we will be back!

    This is by far my favorite restaurant without heading downtown into Philadelphia. The nachos are to die for! My husband, who isn't a vegan or vegetarian, loves Blue Sage too. The servers are awesome, so friendly and helpful with the menu if you have any questions. My only personal complaint is that I wish I lived closer...so I could order it for take out every night!

    Wow, wonderful food!! We started with corn chowder with potatoes - sweet corn flavor, chunks of fingerling potatoes and a lovely, hearty but not heavy broth. We also ordered a portobello sandwich, blue corn asparagus tacos and sliders with shoestring fries. Everything was fresh, hearty and delicious - melty cheese, big flavorful chunks of veggies. The place is small and charming, with really reasonable prices, to boot! I wish I lived nearby so I could be a regular!! The service is friendly but had some imperfections (a little slow, forgotten to-go box, out of order men's restroom but no sign).

    Came here on a Saturday night for dinner, place was packed ,reservations are a must . Ordered the goat cheese nachos and butternut squash bisque. Both were huge portions and absolutely amazing. For dinner we ordered the pan bagna and the blue corn asparagus tacos. Pan bagna was delicious ! The tacos were good but a bit too greasy. We were so full that we had to take most of it home . But of course we had to have dessert, the reconstructed pie-fantastic! Everything was so delicious and service was excellent .we will definitely be back

    Top of the line vegetarian food that will make even the heartiest of meat lovers go "wow! that's amazing!" I have been many times for lunch, dinner and now brunch. Typically their menu stretches from southwestern/middle eastern seasoning to california/"new" american if you can call it that. They do make inventive dishes with seasonal veggies, root veggies, hearty grains, etc. My husband noted that they don't use a lot of mushrooms, which he prefers since he's not a 'shroom fan. I can safely say that the only thing on the menu I don't particularly care for is the bean salad, which is more due to the fact I don't care for the texture (a little tough, my own issue, not theirs). Major positives: anything you get will be very well balanced. Their food is so perfectly seasoned that each portion of the plate blends seamlessly with the next. I am being vague because I realize I have had so many dishes there I can't come up with a favorite. Portions are also generous but they will box it up for you. The food will also be BEAUTIFULLY presented so you almost feel ashamed to mess up their artfully balanced garnishes. Also, the desserts are deliciously decadent. As in, if you have a sweet tooth, you might want to rethink if your dining companions are WORTH sharing with ;-) Minor negatives: It is SMALL. Make reservations! That means it can also get quite LOUD. Neither of these things take away from the fact it is hands down one of the best restaurants that I have ever eaten in.

    How did more than a year of being vegan in Glenside pass without me going to Blue Sage? Fortunately I have already been there twice in this Autumn of '13 and it is a great find for suburban vegans. The Buddha tacos are a light healthy meal with a spicy peanut taste. Erin M has a usual after just two visits, the Pan Bagna sandwich. I have loved the few bites of it I have stolen while she was admiring beautiful-looking dishes coming out of the kitchen. We have had the Hazelnut Toffee Basket dessert which I highly recommend. Blue Sage is on its' game. And they are cheap too! Food that absolutely contends with Vedge at a much cheaper price point.

    This is my favorite Vegetarian restaurant! Its also the only vegetarian restaurant I go to. I'm not vegetarian but I would be if I could eat here everyday! The food is just so awesome and so creative! I love it! The only reason I give 4/5 stars is because the Buddha tacos recipe got changed. I used to order this often but I no longer can anymore, it tastes so different now and not in a good way. Order the Tartare and the Blue LT though as they are phenomenal. Also the Brunch is amazing! Highly recommend the Blue Corn Johnnycakes!

    Had heard many good things about this place and decided to give it a try. Truth be told, I am not a vegetarian and thoroughly enjoy quality meat products, but I am always looking for more vegetarian options in the hopes of reducing my animal consumption. I was promised this was the place to do it. The meal was very nicely prepared, clearly these folks cared about what they were doing. They unfortunately fall into the mistake of offering items that appear to attempt to mimic meat-based foods, and it just never works. Nothing even close in flavor. I would recommend just going with the veggies and the fun flavors they have, don't try to make the food be something it can not. Take this review with a grain of salt- I am no vegan, not a vegetarian, and enjoy my bacon. They are clearly trying very hard here and I recommend giving them a try.

  • Lauren S.

    If you out in the suburbs this place is worth a stop. The food here was delicious. The portion were large. The service was awesome. I had the blue corn asparagus tacos. Honestly they were more like mini quesadillas since the cheese was completely melted but regardless they were great. The black beans and field greens serviced with the tacos were more than generous protons. Although full I nibbled on my friends house root chips that came with the BLT. I was glad when they were taken away since I couldn't stop eating them. The only down fall beside not being close to me was it was really cold in the restaurant, not sure if something was wrong with there heat or they just hadn't put it up yet but I almost put my coat back on but I didn't want to be cold when I went outside so I decided against that.

    Been here quite a few times now, and this restaurant continues to amaze me... and I'm a meat eater! I never knew I could be so satisfied with vegetarian and vegan options alone, and I honestly don't even miss the meat when I'm here. I crave the luna buns about once a week... they're so delicious! Plus the staff is friendly, attentive and they always know the changing menu items inside and out. Definitely a local favorite!

    This is possibly my new favorite restaurant after only two visits. I have gone for both lunch and brunch thus far, and both times the food was amazing. My boyfriend, an avid omnivore and I, a pescatarian, enjoyed all of the dishes we received. Each was extremely flavorful and did not try to imitate any meat filled dish. Instead, the focus was on fresh ingredients and spices to create a completely satisfying meal. The service is friendly and very accommodating. I cannot wait to explore the dinner menu.

  • Sharon G.

    Very good vegetarian restaurant! Many options and enough that would turn the heads of carnivores. It's casual- BYO in a strip mall- but the food is inventive and fun. Several options for the gluten-averse among us, too. Not cheap but big portions. Recommended: luna buns, falafel wrap, pineapple pancake dessert.

    I live in downtown Philadelphia and have had my fair share of high quality vegetarian and vegan food in the city. With that said, I was blown away by how good Blue Sage was! After reviewing some local spots, I visited last night for the first time with 2 other people and we were all blown away. We split the Kale Salad and an order of the new tacos on their menu for an appetizer. The salad was MASSIVE and extremely tasty (so big we had to have it boxed so we could save room for our main entree) and the tacos hit the spot with a large topping of guacamole! For entree, I got the "Chicken and Waffles" which was essentially mushrooms, waffles, a fig jam as a syrup. and plenty of other little toppings that truly brought the dish together and actually made it feel like a true chicken and waffles. My Mom got the empanadas and my girlfriend got a sort of dumpling dish. I'm sorry I can't recall the names of the dishes, but they recently changed their menu and the updated one is not online. Both of their dishes were equally as fantastic, although I wouldn't have traded my chicken and waffles for either! I'd highly recommend checking this place out, and the added bonus is that it's BYOB so you won't break the bank! Great food, good prices, great quantities! You will leave feeling full!

  • Matt H.

    Good to have a decent vegetarian joint. But unfortunately for the prices they charge per entrée ($20 and up) arent' worth it. They stuff the dishes with lowest priced veggie. So you get 90% cheap veggie in your dish and a little better veggie sprinkled on top.

  • Michelle P.

    I am not a vegetarian, however I would not hesitate to become a regular if I lived in the area. Everything was absolutely delicious. Nicely seasoned, beautifully plated and overall just delightful. The service was on point as well. Be sure to make a reservation as they fill up very quickly and it's pretty small on the inside. Also, it is BYOB just as a note.

    My wife is a vegan , one son a vegetarian and I'm a committed omnivore. Trying to eat healthier during business travel I tried this spot. Trust me it was no sacrifice! Absolutely fabulous. The "chicken" and waffles was a near perfect dish. I'll be back.

    I grew up a Vegetarian and any veggie restaurant I've been too is usually bland and tasteless. This place blew me away! Complex flavors, variety and great service. We went for Brunch and loved the Cobb salad and Rellano. It's a Roasted red pepper with fluffy scrambled eggs top with a cheddar sauce. To die for! Husband got the French toast. Best I've ever had. It was crispy on the outside. Devine! It's byob but they did have homemade Bloody Mary mix so next time bringing some vodka. Brunch is $18 per person for a app and entree plus a coffee. So much food. We were stuffed. Can't wait to come back for dinner or lunch. Do make a reservation because they get packed. They take credit cards.

  • Mary R.

    I am not a vegetarian so normally a place like this would not even be on my radar, but my friend suggested this place for lunch and I agreed. I had the grilled cheese sandwich, which also came with tomato bisque and a small salad of greens and grape tomatoes. I love grilled cheese and tomato soup and I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious. The sandwich consisted of cheddar and grilled sourdough with a smattering of grape tomatoes, which worked very well. We came early, at around 12:30, so luckily there was plenty of seating, but when we left at around 2:15 it was packed. It was only about a half hour drive for me, and if my friend wanted to come back here I would definitely say yes.

    You need to go to Blue Sage for the blue corn asparagus tacos. They are the best tacos I have ever had. This appetizer could also be a meal in itself. For entrees we ordered the Carnival (delicious) and the Korma (good but extremely spicy!!!) and could only finish half since we were so full from the appetizer. Looking forward to leftovers tomorrow! Service was great and ambience was nice but very loud (I didn't mind but it was a bit much for my hubby). I will definitely be going back and trying the desserts.

  • Jane H.

    4 or 5 stars? I can't decide... everything is delicious, and portions are large (as you would expect for the area). It's BYOB, and they are very courteous about filling your glasses for you. If you sit in for dinner (I have ordered take out previously), the dining area is kept a tad cold. The menu has a lot to offer, though if you are not a fan of feta or goat cheese, you better let them know, most dishes has one or the other. Everything is delicious, and beautifully plated.

  • Linda G.

    Whenever I have friends in town, Blue Sage is at the top of my lunch destinations. It nice to have a variety of choices which offer beautifully plated offerings which can be complimented will your favorite BYO wine. The staff is pleasant and low-keyed and though a popular lunch restaurant, I never feel rushed to finish. The waiting area is quite small and the parking is sometimes a challenge but always well worth the effort. Favorites--falafel wrap, nachos, queso quesadilla but have not had a meal I didn't enjoy.

  • J. M.

    Wow! This place is delicious! As a life long vegetarian I have to rate their food at the top of my list! The Roasted Beet Sliders, are a unique twist and sooo good! The only trouble we had was trying not to over order. We had appetizers, soup, and entrees left no room for desert. Indonesian peanut soup was so flavorful and highly recommended, although it may be a special.

    By far the best veggie food I've had in a while AND a BYOB. Nice staff. More seating would be a plus.

    This place is absolutely fantastic. I can understand how some people who are still eating meat and a lot of processed stuff would find the food to lack flavor, however, for those of you who are somewhat healthy vegetarians/vegans, this food is phenomenal. First, their menu is very simple to understand, and it's clear to begin with what you can order vegan vs vegetarian. This place is BYOB which is fine, in a pinch (and not visiting southampton very often) we found a liquor store RIGHT down the road with tons of great wines. My fiancée and I had TACO VERDURAS.. both of us were saying that despite it being an appetizer, it was one of the tastiest thing's we've had in a long time. I was thoroughly impressed by that. For our entrees, she ordered the Carnival, and I had the Falafel Wrap. Hers looked absolutely incredible.. and tasted great. Mine was also very good, and lasted the next few days as my lunch and dinner due to the massive portions. The service was very friendly, our waitress was very helpful and kind. I have seen a lot of reviews about them being unpleasant if you don't have reservations.. we made our reservations at six o'clock for 8:30 the same Saturday night and they did NOT have a problem with that. The place is very small, but it has a lot of character.. but honestly, as long as your seat and table are clean, and your waiter/waitress is nice, why would you care about what paintings a restaurant has on the wall... or any decor for that matter? My fiancée and I went to enjoy each others company, and enjoy delicious food, and we had a really great time. Can't wait to go back!

    I spent many childhood years eating at the pizza joint that used to occupy the space that Blue Sage is in, but this hip, delicious and on trend place couldn't be father from that place. The food is delicious, and quite rich even for vegitarian food, and huge huge portions. Did I say huge? I ordered the miso soup (which is not the salty water you may be used to at Asian places but instead a flavorful soup filled with hearty veggies) and could have eaten that for an hour and still not reached the bottom of the bowl. Good thing my daughter helped me out. Nachos and sandwiches are enormous and enough to feed a small army. So order with this in mind or expect to take home leftovers! Try the Asian buns appetizer.

  • Jesse Z.

    The toughest thing about Blue Sage is ordering more than you can eat. We always take food home because it's too difficult to resist ordering what everyone next to us ordered. Some restaurants excel at presentation, and others, at taste. Blue Sage is one of the few that has both. The first time we came here we were a bit unsure because it says "vegetarian" in the name, and we hadn't eaten at a vegetarian-only restaurant before. Believe me, by the time you open the menu and look at the tables around you, you'll forget that it's vegetarian. This place has become one of our favorites in the region, and we've even taken out-of-town visitors here just to show off the delicious food! By the way, their Sunday brunch rocks! It's priced reasonably ($18), and tastes better than most other brunches we've had.

    If you want an excellent vegetarian or vegan meal for a great value, drive out to Southampton for Blue Sage. I can't believe it took me this many years to finally check this place out. I called them last night at around dinner and couldn't get through a few times (got the busy signal). Finally got through and they were able to squeeze us in for a reservation for two at 8pm. The restaurant was completely full, aside from our little table, when we arrived, and the pace never slowed. The secret's out, apparently. There are only a few items on the menu that are strictly vegan, however they can make any of their items 100% vegan if you ask (they call it "dairy free" instead but I guess they don't use eggs in general). Before we got our started, our red wine bottle was opened (BYO!) and we were given a small basket of delicious chewy sourdough bread and a small dish of spicy bean dip. We ordered the corn and avocado Tartare to start and it was fantastic. Loads of corn, diced avocado and tomatoes in a sort of savory salsa was served in a large cocktail glass surrounded by what tasted like homemade taro chips. We ate every last kernel and basically licked the plate. Next, I had the Pan Bagno sandwich for my main dish. I could barely eat half of it, it was so gigantic, and at around $12, a real steal. The chickpea cakes were similar to tofu in consistency which was surprising and nice. The "artichoke-oil cured tomato tapenade" on the fresh crusty, toasted baguette was wonderful. It was served with a very fresh salad of bitter greens, almonds and sliced grapes. I had a couple bites of that, but I was getting pretty stuffed. We decided to opt out of dessert. Two out of four of the desserts were vegan, and sounded really great, but we just couldn't manage to eat another bite and we were both bringing doggie bags home already. Our total bill for an appetizer, a sandwich and an entree (my husband ordered the pumpkin risotto) was around $40. Seriously. It would have been less had he ordered a sandwich, salad or any of the other less expensive items on the menu. After we got used to some of the more expensive veggie restaurants, this place was such a breath of fresh air! I think they could easily expand as they were doing such brisk business the night we were there. Our waitress and the entire staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. I look forward to more meals here.

    Tried this place for the first time for Brunch. The food and service were excellent. I am a true omnivore. I love salad but love most proteins too. I prefer fish and chicken, but do like pork, beef and other meats. Like another reviewer I am by no means a vegetarian or vegan. Went here with an aunt and cousins and didn't even realize until I left and looked at the sign that this is a vegetarian restaurant. The portions were generous, very well crafted and quite delicious. The place is small though and depending on the clientele can be a bit noisy.

    On a snowy day, the flavorful and creamy corn and potato chowder really hit the spot! Generous servings, delectable flavor combinations, and genuinely friendly service.

    I absolutely LOVE Blue Sage. It's honestly some of the best food I've ever had, if not that. My favorites on the menu so far- falafel gyro, their black bean soup, farmhouse cubano, fingerling potato salad. Also, I recommend their sunday brunch. And their desserts are a MUST. The first time I went, I was on the verge of becoming a vegetarian (I've now been one for over 3 years). Let me just say that anyone who thinks vegetarianism is about eating a pile of bland steamed broccoli (I was one of them) needs to get themselves over to Blue Sage. The chef understands the complexity and flavor of every ingredient used, and marries them to other ingredients to transform simple vegetables into something so delicious and harmonious! It opened my eyes to what vegetarianism could be, and also inspired me to get more creative when cooking at home. I've been a vegetarian for over 3 years. I just WISH they would expand or more to a larger facility as the building is rather cramped, and we often have to wait for a table. The food is well worth the wait, though!

    My Rating: 4.5 Favorites: Sliders Ever so often, you take a bite of great food and look around in astonishment to see if your friends share in the same visceral emotion. That was my reaction after eating one of the excellent sliders catered from Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. Their minute size begged me to snatch some more while the polite, restrained side of me begged me to stop. These tiny sandwiches had great contrasting textures while lathering your taste buds in an avocado and tomato relish teamed up with cheese and a basil aioli. Although this review is only for their sliders (they were catered at a party), I cannot help but endorse this eatery. From a casual glance of their menu, it seems that they have deciphered how to create flavorful and enjoyable American vegetarian cuisine (no easy feat). On that basis alone, Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille has earned my visit for lunch or dinner on my next trip to Pennsylvania.

    Father's Day Brunch @ Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille (everyone knows it as Blue Sage), was the epitome of a meal that makes a wonderful day nearly perfect. While I have dined there several times over the years, it had fallen off my circuit at some point for no particular reason. When my 12 year old wanted to take me out for a good meal for Father's Day, Blue Sage came to mind. I called at 10:00 on Sunday morning and was fortunate to secure a table for 2:30 that afternoon. By no stretch am I a vegetarian, but I do enjoy a tasty healthy meal at any time. We arrived a couple of minutes late after canoeing in Tyler State Park ran a little long (that's another story), and were seated promptly. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The brunch menu is a shorter version of the regular menu with several specials thrown in. It's a one from Page One and one from Page Two deal for $18., including organic coffee. I ordered the Corn Johnnie Cakes with Berries and the Relleno. The Cakes looked like four small dark pancakes topped with Strawberries and Blueberries. It was pulled together with a Sweet Cream Butter whip that was just sweet enough, but did not interfere with the berry flavors, nor the hot corn cakes. It was delicious. The Relleno was a Red Pepper stuffed with mild melted cheese, beans, onions and red/orange cherry tomatoes. It was finished with a tawny copper colored tangy sauce that made me glad I had a spoon so I could claim every drop. I was completely satisfied. My son had two different dishes of Sweet Rice Pudding balls and Mashed Potato Empanadas which he enjoyed. They were filled with red pepper pumpkin seed pesto mixed with the potato, and it came with Giant White Beans pickled, Gazpacho Sauce, and a Tomato - Avocado Salad. I know this because he only reluctantly allowed me to taste them. This would have been a delectable meal on any day of the year. That is culminated Father's Day for me makes it vastly more memorable. I will be sure to consider Blue Sage on my list of "go to" places on special occasions. It was a great place to complement a great day.

    I had heard about The Blue Sage for years and how wonderful the food was. I always wanted to go but somehow never got there? When my husband asked what I wanted for my Birthday, I suddenly remembered this restaurant and asked he take me. I told my "foodie" mom we had reservations last Saturday night so she told me what to expect: make a reservation because it is a small place with tight seating, very loud and hard to hear but with good food. BOY I am so glad we went. I was raving about this place for days. We loved everything!!! Yeah, the seating was tight, but I would have sat on someone's lap for a meal here. Jess was our lovely server. Compliments to the chef!

    Went here for a prix fixe Valentine's Day dinner and it was phenomenal. We were a party of four--two vegans and two enthusiastic carnivores--and all were blown away by each of our courses. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and, most importantly, delicious. I'm generally not a dessert person, but was pretty damn happy with the one I ate here. A great place for a special occasion.

    Yumm! I recently moved to the area from NYC and I'm happy that this place is relatively close to where I am living. To start we ordered the mediterranean platter which very delicious and filling. I really enjoyed the smoked red pepper hummus and falafel in tahini sauce. The portions are huge!! We were full after the appetizer and ended up taking a large portion of our entree home with us. I had the grilled cheese/tomato soup combo and it was absolutely delicious. I am a big grilled cheese fan and was worried that I wouldn't find a new place but I've found it! :) I will say it is a bit heavy (very buttery and cheesy) but I love it anyway, haha. It is also served with a mixed greens salad with a great dressing. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I will definitely be returning. This place is a must!

    I feel like I start every review out like this, but my allergies get in the way of me trying lots of food. Especially at this place because I am allergic to cilantro. We ordered the nachos( which have cilantro in them). The chef made me a special version of the nachos cilantro free!!! They were full of beans and very cheesy! We ordered 2 soups, the gazpacho and the butternut squash soup. Neither were spectacular. For our actual entrée( as if I wasn't full already), I ordered the carnival dish. It was bubbling with cheese, rice, and beans. It tasted like perfection!!! On the side came caramelized onions and carrots!!! It's a must have dish while dining at this restaurant. It's what I order every time I eat here. We also got the Rustica. Because of my allergy, the modified the dish to put the beans on the side. It was delicious. The tortilla was filled with carrots, and cheese. Very yummy!!! For dessert, we ordered the reconstructed pie. It was filled with mascarpone cheese, apples, mascarpone ice cream, Ritz crackers and apple crumble. It was like 10000000 calories, but comes highly recommended.

    Vegetarian food for non-vegetarians! You will not miss meat or poultry here. Each dish is beautifully considered, bursting with flavor. The nachos are absolutely amazing, and the entrees are creative and filling. We had no room for dessert. Service was superb. The decor is a little dated, but the value and taste are far superior.

  • Jessica B.

    Absolutely amazing vegetarian restaurant - if you are skeptical and think you need meat in your meal, this place will prove you wrong! Don't miss: the goat cheese nachos - delicious pile of cheesy goodness with black beans and roasted peppers, the sliders - so many flavors and come with gigantic cone of shoe string fries which are fantastic and tasty themselves! The quesadillas are also delicious - either one, the Blue LT sandwich was OK - I'd pass for the quesadilla next time. The wraps got huge thumbs up as well. Not one of us missed meat in the least bit. Also don't skip dissert - you will be so full you will want to but leave a little bit of room for the amazing sweet and salty deconstructed apple pie made with caramelized ritz crackers to add a great amount of crunch! All portions are huge - every member of our table took home a doggy bag. Too make something great better, its also BYOB

    I had dinner at Blue Sage last night with a friend and my two daughters - ages 4 and 10 months - and let me begin by saying - Wow! I am not a vegetarian, but really anyone would enjoy the selection in this restaurant. We shared a huge order of nachos for an appetizer, and then I had "chicken" and waffles for dinner - the chicken was replaced by some deliciously flavored mushrooms and shallots, and was probably one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. Having worked in restaurants for many years, I had called ahead to be sure that children would not be disruptive - I knew from a friend's recommendation that the restaurant itself was not very large. The woman who answered the phone assured me that they were welcome, offered me a reservation, and even came over to say hi when we arrived. Our server, Max, was very knowledgeable regarding the menu, and had no problem answering our myriad of questions, or offering suggestions on his favorites. I cannot say enough good things - I will definitely be going back as soon as possible!

  • Leigh M.

    LOVE this place!! What a relief to look over an entire menu and not have to search out the vegetarian options! The falafel gyro is my absolute favorite, even the side salad that comes with it is delicious. And the Blueberry Mascarpone dessert is AMAZING. Every time I go, I say I'm not getting dessert, because I will eat the whole thing. And of course I always end up getting dessert and eating the whole thing anyway. Go with a friend so you can try two desserts! The place itself is kind of small, with the tables kind of right on top of each other, which makes it a little awkward when it's busy. Last time I went with a friend, we kinda felt like we had to whisper to not annoy the people on both sides of us, but the food is so good that that is no reason to take away any stars. Prices are reasonable as well. I can see non vegetarians loving this place and would whole-heartedly recommend to any friends.

    I absolutely love it here. The staff is always very nice and the food is excellent. I highly recommend the blue corn asparagus tacos and the potato corn chowder. I will have to visit here for brunch sometime soon, I hear it's great.

  • Chris C.

    Probably my all-time favorite cafe. Even if you're not veg or vegan, you can appreciate this PERFECT food. The staff is always, ALWAYS friendly... and usually it's not too busy after dinner (8:30-9pm) which is the best time to go. I would love to eat here twice a month if I could afford it... I think I just might have to put some funds away for the wonderful experience. :) Btw, on Google maps, the location is INSANELY wrong... I don't know if Google fixed it yet or what... but it takes you about 2 miles out of the way, and easily gets you lost. No good. Once you know where you're going though, you're golden (this goes out to first timers who haven't yet eaten here).

    all I can say is this place is FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC! I'm not vegetarian but I am dairy free and there are so many delicious options that don't even taste like I'm missing the dairy!! It's prob top 2 favorite places to eat for me now

  • Kathleen B.

    I went with a friend who is a vegetarian, however I am not. We shared four appetizers: the sliders, buns, tacos and risotto fritters. The sliders and buns were a 5 star, the other two were okay, but not great. It is BYOB and as far as I could tell you definitely need reservations.

    I would love to give Blue Sage more than 3 but am hard pressed. Only saving grace is that the portions are huge BUT sadly it could do with better and stronger taste. The tasteless would love this place but I had to add my own sauces to make it more tasty.

    The food is awesome here. I went with some hardcore meat eaters and they absolutely loved it. They didn't even miss the meat and thought that if there was meat added to their dishes, the food probably will not be the same.

  • Beka P.

    Vegans beware. They gave us dairy cheese instead of vegan cheese, and at least one item was incorrectly labeled as dairy-free. Some of our food was so under-cooked, it was inedible. Huge disappointment, not worth the drive from the city.

  • Haley D.

    I'm a vegetarian & live in Bucks County so I'm very pleased to have such a delicious & innovative vegetarian option close-by. The waitstaff is always friendly & I've enjoyed all of my food there. However, the close proximity of the tables against the wall (Sitting right next to a complete stranger talking about their love life? No thanks!) really bothers me and keeps me from frequenting this place more often.

  • Kylie F.

    The grilled plaintain appetizer is huge and delicious! Definitely share worthy. I love the fact it is BYO as well. Additionally, the staff were all very friendly. The mushroom risotto was a little average though - the pureed sweet potato/pumpkin? gave it a baby food vibe. Regardless, very decent eatery out in the Burbs if you're local - not sure I'll make the trek from Philly again but glad I tried it.

  • Steve N.

    One of the nation's best vegetarian restaurants (yeah, it's better or as good as the Candles in NYC, Mother's in Austin, etc; I think I go to enough veg places to have such an opinion). Enough said. The other reviewers nailed it. Vital - make a booking, even to dine alone.

  • Tito B.

    Great food, HORRIBLE SERVICE. If I was rating the food alone, I'd give it 4 stars. If I was rating the service alone, I'd give it 0 stars. It makes me sad that a place with so much potential allows its employees to be so rude to customers. When we walked in, despite the restaurant having 4 open tables, the hostess accosts us at the front hallway. She then proceeds to ignore us and stare at her clipboard for A FULL MINUTE before acknowledging our existence. Once she did decide to look at us, she said "you can wait an hour and a half to be seated or get takeout". Being that I really wanted to try the food, I opted for take out. She then handed me menus and walked away. We had to flag someone down to order, and were then directed to stand in front of the kitchen door to order and wait. So the waiters were having to walk around us to enter and exit the kitchen and it was super awkward and uncomfortable. I excused myself and meandered back to the entryway, where another 2 tables got up and left. There were now 6 open tables, with no one in them. Okay. The food was indeed good. We ordered beet sliders to start, those were very tasty. Then I had the pan bagna, which was very, very, very good, and my partner in crime had the empanadas, which I really did not care for at all. So 2 out of 3 dishes were very good, but after being treated so poorly, I just had such a bad taste in my mouth that I can't help but have bad feelings about Blue Sage. A pair of ladies walked in while we waited for the takeout and got the same bad treatment from the hostess. They left and went somewhere else for dinner. It's a shame because a vegetarian restaurant serving good food is something I want to support but given how I was treated, I just can't give them a thumbs up.

    I cannot tell you enough how amazing this place is. Since being introduced to it by a family member, my partner and I we go every birthday, valentines day (and whatever other celebration that comes our way or that we can make up as an excuse to go).The portions are huge and we have never had a bad meal there. The descriptions on the menu sound strange and sometimes can turn off newbies from knowing what to order ...because things taste so much better than they sound there. But we get the fingerling salad to split, an order of sliders, the asparagus tacos, the hazelnut toffee basket for dessert and have recently fallen in love with their carnival squash entree. The nachos are also unbelievable. Those are just some of our regular picks if you want to check this place out too. We like to bring our other family and friends here to surprise them at how epic a vegetarian restaurant can be! And of course, give us another reason to go again. :) OH YEAH and this place is BYOB too!!!

    We went back here for a family birthday. With us were 1 vegetarian, 1 lactose intolerant person, 2 meat eaters (one with an open mind) and 1 vegetarian want-to-be. When we left I think we were all vegetarians!! The food was amazing, there wasn't one person at the table who wasn't ooing and ahhing at their meal. We all ate way more than we wanted to because the portions are very generous and we were stuffed but our mouths wanted more! Service is friendly and leisurely, the atmosphere is great when it's nice an full like it was when we were there - a packed Tuesday night - so make reservations. I wish there were more restaurants like this around!!

    Awesome restaurant, probably one of my favorites. I love the falafel on both the lunch and dinner menu. My absolute favorite is the farmhouse cubano. The goat cheese nachos are mmmm and the toffee basket for dessert is perfect!

    Dear Blue Sage, You are the most Delicious Vegetarian restaurant hands down. Please buy or rent the empty store next to you so the next time I visit I do not have someone who is standings butt at my face level. The tables are ridiculously close together. I feel claustrophobic and often get hit when people stand up and put their coats on.Thank you,I speak for many of your fans.

    I feel like I must be crazy for giving this place 3 stars. I went to Blue Sage for my birthday a few days ago on a Thursday night. I was beyond excited to try it out after so many positive reviews. Perhaps I was expecting too much. We were running about 15 minutes late and called to let them know. It was fairly busy when we got there but there were still a few tables open. Our server was friendly and attentive. As instructed by all of the Yelp reviews, we ordered the Goat Cheese Nachos. The plate was massive but delicious. It didn't taste especially goat cheesy but still very, very good. (Beware of the pepper on top. I tried a nibble - bad idea! Our gracious server brought us a spoonful of ice cream to help out.) I was psyched about the Wild Mushroom Risotto and we debated for a while about what the second dish should be, ultimately going with the Blue Plate. We were both pretty disappointed. The risotto dish was really blah. There was no mushroom taste - it all tasted like an altered teriyaki. No individual flavors, just a lot of sauce smothering what looked like otherwise delicious mushrooms. The risotto was sparse and likewise covered in the sauce. We favored the Blue Plate dish a bit more. The two skewers of glazed portobellos were good but the rest of the plate was ho-hum. The "smoked sweet potato mash" wasn't completely made of sweet potatoes. There were white potato chunks in it and it tasted like plain old mashed potatoes. Would it really have been that much more expensive to use all sweet potatoes? The succotash salad was fine. We were already pretty full by the end of those nachos so we doggie bagged up the majority of the main courses. But what's a birthday without dessert so we ordered the Hazelnut Toffee Basket and Butterscotch Pudding Parfait. The toffee basket was good. I liked it more than he did. I think the key is getting banana, mouse, and toffee in each bite. The real winner of the night was the butterscotch pudding. It was absolutely divine! We packaged both up but were talking in the car ride home about how excited we were to dip into that pudding the next day (and yes, it was still delicious). So I'm bummed my birthday dinner didn't feel 5 star worthy. I'd still like to go back and try out some other menu options and perhaps revise my review. Sadly, at those prices, it will probably be a while.

  • Louis R.

    Blue Sage is in a class by itself. Very tasty and artfully presented veg and vegan fare. The chef has a flair for combining ingredients, and up until very recently, there was no tofu, tempeh, seitan, etc. And that's still pretty much true, although a new lime-marinated pressed tofu sandwich inspired by the fusion trucks in cities like New York and San Francisco is amazing. You can bring non-veg friends and family and they will not feel deprived! Fabulous deserts, too. The only down side is they're in a small, noisy space and the wait for a table can be on the long side. Reservations are a must. BYOB.

  • Kristen W.

    In the spirit of having a reservation here tonight I have decided to write my first yelp review about one of my favorite restaurants. I am not a vegetarian, but most of the time when I go out to eat or cook for myself I eat like one. I love this place because it is one of the few restaurants I can go and actually order something different every single time. I don't eat fish or a lot of meat, and I'm picky about things like cheese, so most restaurants I end up with one or two "go to" items. Every time I have been to The Blue Sage I have had a difficult time deciding between multiple items. Also, they change what's available with the season, so the variety is great. The soups are amazing, last time I was there I tried the potato and corn chowder, which is not something I would normally order. I have had a sonoma salad, which was made of all kinds of grains and beets and was delicious, some sort of cubano off the lunch menu with all my favorite veggies and brie, which is my favorite cheese, and last time I got the rellenos, which was a pepper stuffed with brie and some more of my favorite veggies! I have never been disappointed, and tonight I am even going with my meat eating dad for the third time! I hear the desserts are wonderful, but I never have room. Speaking of desserts, last time we went we were asked if we were willing to switch tables with a party that brought along an extra person. We happily obliged and were given a free dessert, which my pregnant best friend happily ate.

  • K D.

    There is food on the menu I LOVE (nachos, falafal, quesa havana, blue corn tacos) and then there is some stuff that I don't enjoy at all. However, the stuff I like is so good that it is worth going again and again. It is very small though and its always awkward sitting next to people. You can't really have a private conversation. There are always plenty of leftovers which is nice too. It is somewhat pricy so I suggest going at lunch time when it is a bit more affordable.

    Even non vegetarians would appreciate the fresh vegetarian dishes at Blue Sage. They are also very vegan friendly :) Make sure to make a reservation during dinner as it is a very small dining room. Overall two thumbs up for this Vegetarian BYOB!

  • Vanessa E.

    OMG! Best vegetarian restaurant! I live in a vegetarian capital and this is still the best! I wish they would bring their lovely restaurant to California. I loved the fried green tomato with a light dill aioli, it was my favorite!!! We also shared the fried plantain pancakes made with a black bean puree & mango salsa. Also blue corn asparagus tacos were great, I can see why they are a favorite! The mushroom risotto was pleasant too. I would strongly suggest the desserts. Order anything that calls out to you. I really don't think you could order anything less than delicious!!!

  • Tina C.

    Blue Sage is this meat-lover's very favorite Vegetarian restaurants (and is up there for restaurants, period)! I was EXTREMELY skeptical when my mom wanted to take us to this restaurant for lunch (check out my reviews, they're mostly steakhouses). So the four of us were off, my mom the health nut, myself the omnivore, my husband the steak lover, and my dad the lover of all food. We left mid-morning (because, she explained, it was more than a 45 min drive away) and got there at 11am, pretty early for lunch (because, she explained, there was always at least an hour wait). We ordered two soups as appetizers, we each got a sandwich, and two desserts. I. Was. Blown. AWAY. I don't even like carrots, raw OR cooked, but the thai carrot soup was by far my favorite part of the meal. Black bean soup was a bit too thick for me. My hubby's feta and pear wrap was light and flavorful. My mom's portabella panini was so delicious we got another one to go, just to be able to eat it at home later that day. I didn't even get a chance to taste my dad's portabella burger because he ate it so quickly. And my falafel pita was delicious (but my so-called health-nut mom turned her nose up at it: "that's gross!"). Of course, vegetarian desserts are relatively easy-- we had a hazelnut mousse and a chocolate panini. It's pricy, but we'll be back the next time we're visiting the 'rents down in Phillytown.

    I recommend always to have a reservation. Tried twice to dine here only to be told they were full. This was my first time to a vegetarian restaurant and I wasn't disappointed. The hostess and waitress were really nice and informative (since I didn't know anything about vegetarian dining, she was willing to take the time to explain what everything was..didn't rush me or roll eyes when I asked a "stupid" question) The food was fresh and very tasty. Don't ask what I ordered... I couldn't remember what I ordered even though I brought most of it home. Oh yea, that's right. There was so much food, I brought 3/4 of it home. I don't know if that's a plus or minus for people, but I thought the amount of food was enormous. Overwhelming, in fact. The dessert was really good too... we ordered one and shared...some butterscotch ice cream thing. I can't wait to come back here again...

    This place is a vegetarian's paradise. I wish I lived closer. Words can't even come close to conveying the delicious (and flawless) menu. My favorites are the goat cheese nachos and brioche avocado sliders. For dessert - the banana chocolate bread pudding. Just stop reading and go right now.

    My husband and I went here on our anniversary weekend. The portions were huge and the soup was delicious. I had the Khorma, and it was delicious! I wish we lived closed so I could have had a doggie bag! We made every attempted to have one of the amazing sounding desserts offered, but were just too full to try one. But it will give up a reason to come back the next time we are in Philly! My only complain about the place is that it's a little small and the tables are close together so you can feel a little crowded sometimes. Also, definitely make reservations!

    Delicious food, great for something different, BYO!!! First off, I'm not vegetarian... but I guess you could say I'm veg-curious. I haven't really been to many vegetarian restaurants, so I don't have anything to compare to... but Blue Sage was pretty amazing. I highly recommend you make a reservation. We had a reservation for 8 people on a Friday night - and the small dining space was pretty packed. The menu can be a little intimidating at first glance... the descriptions are pretty elaborate and choosing your entree will probably take some time. I suggest you check out their menu online in advance. We started with a few appetizers - the nachos were like crack (i could probably drink a bowl of that cheese sauce), the spring rolls and plantains were awesome too. For dinner I opted for the Poblano - a giant pepper stuffed with eggplant, zuccini, a ton of cheese... paired with some onion rings. I have to say that the presentation of the large plates were something special - almost too pretty to eat. Fortunately it tasted just as good as it looked. I also got to sample the Wild Blue Foccacia, which was also awesome. Oh, and if you have room for dessert try the Hazelnut Toffee Basket. As you can probably tell, I left the place very satisfied.

    I have a new favorite restaurant! First of all, I am happy this place was a BYOB! Secondly, I am NOT a vegetarian and I am amazed that veggies and beans could taste sooo good! The Black bean soup was the best I have ever had... and a meal in itself! My party of five shared appetizers and we tasted each others meals. Every dish was beautifully served, fresh as could be, the right temperature, reasonably priced and generous portions! (We had lots of left overs for our doggie (??) bags.) I think every dish was my favorite! The only down side is the tables are close together and I felt on top of the people next to us. Even the waitress struggled to serve our table...and we did a lot of passing the food down. The restaurant was completely full, tables did not stay empty all night. We were there at 8pm on a week night! I strongly suggest making reservations.

  • K W.

    My review is based on these lunch dishes: Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos --- very yummy and so good! Serrano Wrap --- hands down my favorite dish Corn and Potato Chowder -- I can't get enough of it. It's so creamy and just a very comforting. Farmhouse Cubano -- We were pleasantly surprise.... eggplant was delicious! I'm usually a MEAT LOVER and can't go a meal w/o some type of meat or fish. But at Blue Sage, this place totally knows how to make veggies tasty and satisfying. I have tried other things on their lunch menu and it wasn't too bad, but I just can't get enough of my favorites above. I always order the same thing. I haven't tried their dinner menu but I'm sure based of the reviews it's just as yummy! A must try!

    Tucked away in a forgotten strip center somewhere in the hamlet of Southampton sits THE BEST VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!!!! And no, smart-ass, this isn't THE ONLY one I've ever been to. If you are like me and love vegetables so much that if it weren't for meat being soooooooooooo good, you could be vegetarian then this is the place for you. Oh yeah, all of you that live the meatless life will love it too. See Blake F.'s post for the rest of my review (you stole my food porn reference!) Seriously, I can't be any more plain about this. Blue Sage is one of the best restaurants I've been to all year.

    From the moment you walk in the staff instantly make you feel welcome and at home. The Waitress was very helpful in recommending dishes as this was our first time. The prices were reasonable and our food arrived quickly. P.S. The Goat Cheese Nachos are a must!!!! The food was excellent which for me was unexpected. I never knew vegetarian food could be so full of flavor. I will definitely be going back and soon. If your going on a weekend night, make reservations as the place fills up quickly.

    There are not many places I would give a five star rating too, but this place was simply out of this world. I'm vegetarian, but my husband is not, and we both absolutely LOVED it. We try a lot of restaurants and we are really kind of critical, and this place was all around fabulous. Despite every table being taken on this Saturday night, the hostess and wait staff were completely accomodating, friendly, and knowledgable, the music and atmosphere were great, and the food was UNBELIEVABLE. Our waiter knew everything about the dishes and was able to answer all of our questions perfectly. We shared the goat cheese nachos as an appetizer and they were just SOOOO fantastic and the order was huge....we were actually a little too full for our meals after sharing it. I loved them so much, I might just get that as my meal next time. These were not your average nachos--they were blue chips with amazing sauce on top, fresh corn, and the flavor was just divine. For my entree I ordered the "Blue Plate" which is designed to be like a "meat & potatoes" meal, and it was so incredible---portabello on skewers, with a mouth watering potato mash and a beautiful grilled avodado succotash salad...it was all SO perfect. My husband ordered the empanadas, which was served on the same plate with a dazzling and colorful tomato, avocado, and fig thing in a marinade which was just out of this world. I think there were some kind of white beans of edamames in there too....everything was just so creatively presented, flavorful, and so fresh. It is like they tend to every minute detail in the kitchen...just absolute perfection. Oh, and don't be put off at all that this restaurant is in a little strip mall. They have done a beautiful job making the space warm and comfortable. We live over an hour from the Blue Sage and we will definitely take the ride there on a regular basis. If you are in the area, grab a bottle of wine and DO NOT miss this amazing veg experience. Actually, the veg is sort of a footnote here...the food is just top notch. Easily a five star rating!

    Blue Sage is the ideal spot. I am vegetarian, but both omnivores & vegans can find outstanding & delectable choices on this menu. You know it's a great restaurant when, although you're excited about what you ordered, you have a tinge of regret that there were so many other fabulous items that will just have to wait 'til next time. The only unfortunate thing is that no options were organic. However, although organic & local ingredients are very important to me, the food could not have been more delicious. So, Blue Sage, it would be wonderful to see you phase into local & organic on your creatively wonderful menu. Delightful experience (both food & staff). Every item we ordered was divine. There is something for everyone here!

    When it comes to restaurants in my area, few are as wonderful and unique as the Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille. As a non-vegetarian, I was hesitant when I was first dragged here by a group of my vegan friends. However, I was more than pleasantly surprised when I received my meal. While I am often judgmental of restaurants, I can find few things to criticize when it comes to the Blue Sage. The staff, although small in number, are always pleasant and friendly. The decor of the small dining room is classy, but with a modern twist on casual gourmet. Even to a non-vegetarian, the food is spectacular. I have never been disappointed by anything I have eaten here. The dishes are different from entrees you would find anywhere else. I must admit that I was initially intimidated by the menu. Many of the ingredients in the meals were unfamiliar to me. Even the appetizers and desserts are wonderfully unique. Don't come to this restaurant with preconceived notions of fake meat and soy products. No shortcuts are taken in the creations of these dishes, and the effort really shows. The food is presented as one would show off a fine painting, and it almost pains the diner to ruin the perfect meal before him. One might expect that a vegetarian restaurant would skimp out on portions, but they would quickly be proven wrong as the entrees are quite massive in size. I sometimes find that I have to bring my leftovers home with me, which almost never happens. Every time I drive by this restaurant, the parking lot is always full, and with good reason. If you are looking for a great place to bring a date, or a group of friends, you can't do much better than the Blue Sage.

    This place is great. I honestly am at a loss for words! The food is so good at Blue Sage that you forget you're not eating any meat. Every time that my boyfriend and I go, we always get the Blue Corn & Asparagus Tacos and the Quesa Havana. They are amazing! One word of advice: GET RESERVATIONS!! Reservations are a MUST any night of the week. This place is tiny and fills up very fast. People usually stay for long time, which means the turnover is quite slow.

    I am not a vegetarian, but enjoy Blue Sage very much. It has unique food and lots of options. The nachos are amazing, as is the mushroom risotto. I would give it 5 stars, but the service is SLOW. Even with a reservation we wait quite a while every time.

  • Chas Z.

    Everything I've ever had from here has been excellent. I could each the nachos every day! They also have amazing desserts! The staff has always been friendly, the atmosphere pleasant, the meals excellent, and I have never felt rushed or had a meal take too long. They are BYOB, which is nice, too. I was afraid to take my 1 year old to dinner, but it was not an issue. She loved the food, and the other customers were super friendly towards us. My only complaint is that they are sometimes really busy, and being a small place, they can't have space for everyone, but that's why you phone ahead or make reservations for common busy days or holidays. Overall, I love this place, and I can't wait to try their brunch now that they started it on Sundays!

    I would recommend the Blue Sage Vegetarian Grille to vegetarians and meat lovers alike. We started with the Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos. Holy shit, best freaking nachos EVER! The heaping pile of blue corn tortilla chips, topped with adobo black beans, corn, oven-dried cherry tomatoes, and creamy roasted onion goat-monchego queso, was devoured in record time. For dinner, we decided to split two entrees, the Blue Plate and the Sonoma Sampler. The Blue Plate - pine nut crusted, roasted garlic glazed portobello skewers, smoked sweet potato mash with grilled avocado succotash salad - was quite good. The Sonoma Sampler - tabouleh grain salad topped with grilled pita and hummus, guacamole, and sesame eggplant spread - was tasty, but not quite what I was expecting. Lastly, for dessert we enjoyed the White Chocolate Expresso Creme Brulee and Green Mountain organic coffee. I've since been back with a larger party for my birthday and had the opportunity to try a few more dishes. The Mushroom Risotto was very good, but far too rich for me. I was able to sample my friend's Macadamian-crusted Black Bean Cakes, which were awesome, as was the Asian Beet and Pear soup and the Corn Chowder. An inventive menu, fresh ingredients, and creative presentation make for a unique dining experience in Bucks County. The restaurant itself is very small, so reservations are necessary. BYOB.

    I freaking love this place. Its tiny and crowded, but the food is so worth it. I had a fried green tomato sandwich and my boyfriend had falafel. Mine was absolutely perfect and his falafel was the best he had anywhere (and he has had it everywhere). We asked the waitress if it was made with chickpeas or favas (or both) and she said they used chickpeas and red lentils. I'll be trying that next time I make them. The one drawback of feeling like the people sitting next to me can't help but eavesdrop on every word I say due to the tight quarters isn't enough to keep me away. The food is way too good.

  • Julianna K.

    The blue corn tacos are amazing! So are the spring rolls, and the nachos, and the portobello skewers and the desserts... I could go on forever. I have only been here a couple of times but it is always well worth the schlep. It's the kind of make-you-wanna-lick-your-plate-clean good! Seriously. Go there.

    Blue Sage and Horizons are probably the two essential vegetarian restaurants in the Philadelphia area. You gotta go to both. The food in both places is equally good. But there ARE some differences. The menu at the Blue Sage features dishes without meat substitutes such as seitan and tofu. Now that placates some meat-eaters that whine about tofu like it's something to avoid. But the non-meat substitute approach is also a chance for some real creativity. And this restaurant features some incredibly creative dishes. We shared the Wild Mushroom Risotto and the Green Curry Shepherd's Pie. Both dishes were outstanding. The Green Curry Shepherd's Pie featured vegetables such as squash in an really tasty curry sauce that was spicy without being overbearing. The risotto was a real treat with several different types of mushrooms in arborio rice with some goat's cheese. Yum. And oh yeah. The soups here are great. We had an Indonesian soup to start which was so good we took home a beet soup to have for lunch the next day. The beet soup came with a wasabi/sour cream combination that was a perfect addition. The service here was very professional and helpful. It was nice to see a server who obviously loved the food and could make helpful recommendations. As far as atmosphere, Horizons is more romantic and the tables are much more private. Blue Sage is more cramped and informal and the tables are close together. But Blue Sage is BYOB while Horizons isn't. Someone at the table next to us said "if we could have this kind of food everyday we'd be vegetarians too." So this restaurant seems to be appealing to meat eaters too.

    Boy do I love the food at Blue Sage. It's right around the corner from my house. And it's 5 star food. But I rarely have a spare two hours to eat. If you have time, the food is worth it (esp the desserts). The servers are wonderful, but the service is slow because it's too small! They need a bigger location, more staff, and faster service. They certainly have the customer base.

    Vegetarian or not, it is sure to make anyone happy who goes there. This is a small byob where they serve some really tasty food. The entrees and the deserts are both out of this world! Definitely one of my favorite places to eat! Now, if I could only learn to cook like this. The only thing that prevents me from going here more often is that it is a little bit of a hike-- way out there in Southampton. Lucky ducks who live close by!

  • Jason F.

    The best restaurant I've ever seen. Anywhere. We went pretty much every week for the three years we lived there. We've since moved away, but we will drive hours out of our way to come back here whenever possible. Some of our favorites are the corn and potato chowder and asian beet soup, goat cheese nachos, spinach fresco salad, and macadamia nut cakes. Desserts are all spectacular, favorites are the chocolate panini and snickerdoodle ice cream sandwich. Make reservations, though...it's always packed...and make sure to get some take-out soup for the road!

    Wow. What a meal. Though I have always enjoyed vegetarian cuisine, it is just very recently that I actually proclaimed "I'm a vegetarian!!!" I was here several years ago for lunch. I think I had soup and don't remember it all that well, despite my reputation for having a ridiculously vivid memory. Anyway, we we were at Blue Sage this past Saturday night....this time it was quite memorable. Prices may seem high for a Bucks County suburban location, but well worth it. Sometimes you see the prices, and as long as the food is good, you don't mind if the portion is so-so. Well, the portions were pretty decent. Everything was fresh and flavorful, creative, inventive. Something to hit all the senses. When we were first seated, they brought us some wonderful brown bread from Metropolitain Bakery, along with their housemade pumpkin seed butter and cranberry relish. We started with the Red Pepper Hummus Trio: red pepper hummus, roasted eggplant dip (smoother than baba ganoush,) and 3 falafel patties topped with a roasted tomato pesto. The dips were smooth and creamy; the falafel was moist and mild. I had the Macadamia and Black Bean Fritters. Wonderful texture and flavor, lightly crispy. They were served with black rice (great chewy texture) and a sweet mango salsa that was the perfect compliment. My boyfriend had the bento box which had a lovely and mild Lemongrass soup with veggies, veggie dumpling and an Asian cucumber salad. As I mentioned before, the portions were generous...I took over half of my entree home...yet I was too stuffed to try one of their fabulous sounding, and looking, desserts. Service was attentive. Decor is a little minimal, but the place is small and cozy and comfortable. I can't wait to return since it was so hard for me to decided between 5 or 6 different entrees. I highly recommend!

    Absolutely THE BEST food I've ever eaten. I've taken my meat-eating friends to this place and instantly converted them into a veg*n lifestyle. They couldn't believe that eating veg*n could be so tasty and satisfying. I just wish the chefs at Blue Sage would put out a cookbook of sorts. They are so talented and their food never fails to impress! I've tried practically everything on the menu(s) so far and there hasn't been one thing I haven't thoroughly enjoyed. :)

    i have lived in southampton for my entire life, Now that I have moved to Boston, when I come home, this the first place I come to. Blue Sage is probably one of my favorite restaurants in the world, and I am not even a vegetarian!! I get the same thing every single time, Rasberry Zinger Ice Tea and the Porto Cabana. I am drooling just thinking about it. True, the place is small, and it would be amazing if they would take over the place next door, but they have told me that it is a parking zone issue, which is tragic. However, the wait is worth it, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

    4.5 out of 5. Wonderful little vegetarian place, even for us carnivorous. No over reliance on soy here, no tofu to "replace" meat, none of that at Blue Sage. No, here the dishes and vegetarian because they where meant to be vegetarian in there inception. The Chef manages to blend Cuban, Indian, Middle Eastern (Iranian?) and Mediterranean cuisines into something wonderful all on its own. His use of cheese amazed me when i tried the Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos, the monchego works SO well it makes you question your taste buds. I would highly recommend it, along side with the Sonoma Sampler w/ the goat cheese. Be warned, reservations are a must at Blue Sage, seeing how it is tiny, and expect to wait 15 min for your order to come out of the kitchen when its crowded. (made from scratch though) This place is perfect for a romantic dinner but it is pricey and a bit noisy. I would suggest finding a Cafe elsewhere and having coffee and desert there afterwords seeing how the DESSERTS ARE HORRIBLE. Fair warning! P.S. Maybe a BYO, don't know.

  • Amy H.

    First: I concur with the other reviewers - make a reservation. They also do take-out, though, and they give the food to you in great reusable containers. My office-mates and I did take-out lunch from there all the time, and it never fails to please. I'm a meat lover, and I still found lots of goodies on the menu. I don't generally like meat-substitutes like tofu, and, delightfully, they stay away from using that stuff - they embrace the vegetable and cheese world, and do it creatively. For the first-time diner, if you're nervous about some of the descriptions or you're a bit more conservative in your tastes, try the Blue Corn Asparagus Tacos - they're cheesy and incredible. Or, my absolute favorite, the Fingerling Potato Salad. It's not "potato salad" in the usual sense - it's a big serving of mixed greens with grilled tiny fingerling potatoes, goat cheese, AWESOME candied pecans, sauteed onions and more - ask for the Pear Walnut dressing. You won't be disappointed. If you're eating in the restaurant, be prepared to wait a little for your food. They do, however, try to keep you happy with bring appetizers quickly. It's not so much about the ambiance - they're all about the food. A word of warning: I've seen a few people react with serious heartburn after their food, so if you've got a sensitive stomach or are thinking of taking an older relative here, be sure to try something mild or you'll get a very rich and/or oily, albeit delicious, meal. Overall, pretty great. For a vegetarian joint. ;)

    Though I am not a vegetarian, my meals at Blue Sage Grille have been some of the best I've ever eaten. The unique aspect of Blue Sage Grille is that they don't fall back on the "fake meat" band-wagon that so many vegetarian restaurants do. As an omnivore, biting into tofu where I'd normally get meat is pretty much always a downer, but at Blue Sage Grille, the food is designed to be focused on vegetables from start to finish. A large contingent of the dishes at Blue Sage are of south-western or Asian inspiration but they are not simply familiar recipes minus the meat. The staff at Blue Sage have concocted a menu of interesting and creative entrees that utilize fresh vegetables, grains, and legumes in a variety of ways. I've yet to get a dish that has disappointed me. The menu changes from time to time (they don't have the Chinese 5-spice dumplings anymore), but I hope they never get rid of the BBQ Summer Rolls because I could inhale those things non-stop if given the opportunity. The food has always been beautifully presented and the service impeccable. The servers are educated in the cuisine and can offer great recommendations and the pace of the meal has always been spot-on. One other aspect that I enjoy about Blue Sage Grille is that since it is a rather small dining room, it is easy to strike up a conversation with the diners next to you. This restaurant seems to attract a rather eclectic clientele and several times we've met and talked to very interesting people about topics ranging from baseball to local politics. If you find yourself in Lower Bucks County, go to Blue Sage Grille and treat yourself to one of the best dining experiences in the area.

    This place is the BEST. Hands-down. I would go to this place any day of the week, any time of day...it's that good. The menu is unique, unpretentious, and accessible for even the most carnivorous. I have eaten here a number of times, and had dinner there again last night. All of the food I have eaten there has a terrific balance of flavor, and you can tell that they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Everything in the quesa I ate last night seemed so simple; yukon gold potatoes, caramelized onions, cheese, carrot reduction, tomato pesto, etc. but the flavor combinations were amazing. I don't know how they do it. And if you go, go hungry so you can have dessert. Their desserts are to die for. I highly recommend the Chocolate panini. Blue Sage is a BYOB, and is really small, so definitely make a reservation.

    Even as a non-vegetarian: this place rocks! The restaurant is small and parking sometimes tight, but it is never to the point that it is a problem. BE SURE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT. Cozy setting+BYOB+good quality food+good service=be sure to try this place out. I LOVE meat and I still eat here a lot. Portion sizes are on the average to large side. My favorite dish is the nachos(can be a meal in itself). You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Went to Blue Sage for lunch on a Friday. The place was busy, but there was no wait. We ordered iced tea, smoked gazpacho soup, a tofu hoagie and Buddha tacos. It took 45 minutes for our food to arrive-- tables seated after us were served first. The waitress forgot about our soup. The "hoagie"was tasty. We were interested to try "something different". Based on the menu description, we expected the favors to be stronger. The tacos were terrible. They were supposed to have a peanut "sauce"... I expected Asian peanut sauce-- slightly spicy... Reality-- peanut butter sauce. Seriously tasted like cilantro and Skippy. Yuck. When our soup finally arrived, we were very disappointed. Definitely needed more salt & pepper-- but the real bummer was that the "smoked" flavor was really "burnt" flavor. My friend, who had been to Blue Sage before, was surprised by our disappointment as she had been there before and had a nice meal. I definitely will not return.

    "The waitress comes to the table to take our order, while my friend is still perusing the menu with great care and attention. I recommend the Chinese five spice dumplings, I tell her I dream about them. Now, I'm the girl who dreams about food. Everything is delightful about the Blue Sage: overall taste, creativity, and plating. We hold our "friends, not family" Thanksgiving dinner here. Vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike rejoice in the dishes. I give them major praise for not resorting to soy, or faux meat in their dishes, however, I really wish they changed their menu seasonally. Yes, the dining room is small. They don't take reservations for lunch, but they offer take-out, so have a picnic in Tyler Park!"

    Love Blue Sage! This is quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the area. Food is fantastic and the portions are huge--most of the time I only order an entree. However, I have tried the apps & desserts and they are fantastic as well. The dining room is tiny and I would recommend making reservations--even on a Tuesday or Wednesday night when you think you might not need one. They will be busy and they will ask you if you have a reservation. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and preparation methods. I can't say it enough, the food is phenomenal. I love the macadamia black bean cakes.

  • Zanna H.

    If you want to try this restaurant I strongly recommend a reservation. Their dining area is incredibly small and so it fills up fast. All of the food was beautifully plated. The ingredients were fresh and the dishes were very hearty. I enjoyed everything except the desserts which were overly sweet. The small dining room made the service difficult and we were at a table in the middle of the room near the entrance so we constantly felt trampled. This place would be awesome if they expanded the size of the room.

  • Whitney A.

    This my absolute favorite restaurant. We've been going there for years. Consistently delicious food and the service is always outstanding. You may need to wait a little after placing your order, but it's so worth it. Bring a bottle of wine and order the goat cheese nachos- they are the best. The soup is always great and the desserts are too... although I rarely have enough room left to order any. Play it safe and call ahead for reservations.

    I never would have not even noticed this place without Yelp. From the exterior the place isn't compelling....I hesitated to venture in. But since Yelpers liked it-I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by the nice interior. Nice decorating job. There is an extensive menu. I don't think I choose the best thing. I love Shepard's Pie so I decided to try their vegetarian version. What they served looked more like a soup than a Shepard's Pie. Plus it was loaded with red bell pepper which doesn't agree with me. They should call the dish something else as it doesn't come close to what a veggie version could be of this great dish. I felt like I was fishing for veggies in a green soup while pulling out the red pepper to discard. In the middle was a generous scoop of tasty mashed potatoes. There were other sliced potatos, sweet potatoes, beets, and almost raw Brussels spouts. The veggies were tasty but I felt like I was carb loading! Oh and more carbs-Israeli cous cous too. If I was in the area I would go again and try something else ensuring that whatever I order next is bell pepper free. I think I will try the tacos...less expensive too. My dish was about 20 dollars. Quite pricey!!!

    Blue Sage is an amazing vegetarian restaurant I had the immense joy of eating at last night. To start, though my husband and I were running almost 15 minutes late (yikes!--we called in a heads-up though), they welcomed us with smiles and seated us almost immediately with no issues. After reading a lot of other Yelps, we were set on the Goat Cheese nachos without hesitation. When we ordered, the waitress warned that they were highly addictive. Not long after, the heaping pile of nachos arrived (enough to easily feed 4 by the way), I figured, eh, I'll have a few and let my eager husband munch the rest. Well, I clearly underestimated the waitresses words of caution...15 minutes later, I was still stuffing succulent blue corn chips lathered in deliciousness into my mouth and slowly came to realize that I had absolutely NO room for my entree. Whoops. I was given a short reprieve from food while my husbands Sweet Potato soup arrived---I had a taste and it was fantastic! (We had to doggy-bag that though because he overindulged in nacho-heaven too.) For my entree, I ordered the Cubano Supper which consisted of plantain pasteries, mango and avocado salsa, yellow tomatoes and mixed greens. Still full, I forced myself to try at least 1 plantain pastry with the fixin's and I was NOT disappointed. Although by now, I had nearly lapsed into a food coma, my taste buds were still alert and taking in the festive flavors. My husband had the Buddha Crunchy Tacos and loved them. Needless to say, we had to doggy-bag most of our entrees too, but, we're quite excited to have leftovers. I can't believe that we moved to the suburbs from Queen Village last year fearing we would fall into a foodie void, and found a restaurant that beats almost any Philly BYOB I've eaten at, hands down! Great job Blue Sage!!

    OH MY GOSH PEOPLE, IT IS SO WORTH THE WAIT- if there is any wait (think of the Cheese cake Fac. and the crap you get there). Remember to give your name as soon as you get there-- and then you can wait out on the porch and they will come and get you when your table is ready. The staff is all so nice and doing their best at dealing with a lot of hungry people. The food is healthy and complex. Yummy- good every time. It is our favorite place to eat and WE ARE PICKY. Try the green fried tomatoes - Whistle Stop Sammy or the El Fino (a ladies that lunch fav.). Salad comes with sandwiches so your eating HEALTHY. The desert is top notch. I do this review against by own better judgement because I want to keep them all for myself-

    Having heard many wonderful things about this place, we were very excited when we finally got a chance to eat here. However, while our experience here during lunch here was decent, it wasn't the home run that I was hoping it would be. I really wish I could give a higher rating, but based on the food, I wouldn't call myself a fan. We started our meal with the Buddha crunch tacos; the peanut sauce wasn't extraordinary (actually, it tasted mostly like peanut butter; I couldn't detect an asian element), but worked with the rest of the dish. He then opted for the falafel gyro wrap, while I ordered the vegetarian banh mi. His wrap was undoubtedly the best part of the meal; the smoky tomato relish and caramelized onions were a wonderful compliment to the delicately spiced fritters; I do wish that the vegan version came with a soy yogurt substitute. My banh mi, on the other hand, was a disappointment. With every bite , I kept getting a gritty taste.The tofu was flavorless and the only dominant flavors that I got were from the very long stems of cilantro (which should have been chopped) in the sandwich. We decided to round of our meal with the vegan hazelnut toffee basket. When it was first brought to our table; we were impressed by the presentation. However, it did not taste as good as it looked. The problem with the dish was that it was one-dimensional. It just tasted sugary. I really wished for another flavor to balance the sweetness. Given the price of the food and the reputation of the establishment, I really expected something imaginative (and delicious) but that didn't happen for me. I am glad that the place is doing well, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    All I can say is WOW! By no means am I a vegetarian, I LOVE steaks, and chicken, etc. Very small place. We got take out and the food was awesome! I can only imagine how good it is if you eat in. The flavor of this food is amazing! The portions are HUGE, and the food is delicious! My only problem is that it is VERY expensive. But I mean if you are going to order it everyday then it is going to be expensive, if very little than not that bad. Defiantly worth going back!!!

    I have been wanting to try this place for years and finally had the chance a few weeks ago and I've been drooling thinking about going back ever since. I met a few friends there for dinner. None of us are vegetarians but I've definitely been thinking about becoming vegetarian for the past few months. I am not but have just been cutting down on my meat consumption during this time. We decided to just split a bunch of appetizers and we each had soup. First let me just say the soup was awesome. They have several options each day and the day I was there there was a potato soup, a Thai sweet potato & peanut soup, and gazpacho. The potato soup was creamy and was listed as dairy-free. I had to order it because 1. I love potato soup and 2. I am really not supposed to eat dairy so I felt less guilty ordering that. Well, it was delicious. It was so creamy, you'd never know it was non-dairy. The waitress said it was made creamy with coconut milk. Yum. My friends had the sweet potato & peanut soup and they both loved it. For appetizers/meals we ordered the hummus platter (OK, but not really my thing), the blue corn & asparagus tacos (really good), and the goat cheese nachos (heavenly). Yeah, I know, I'm supposed to stay away from dairy but once I tasted the nachos, I had trouble stopping. Oh, and meat lovers, you really don't miss the meat, I promise (at least I did not)!

    HOLY CANOLI this restaurant is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Suggestion 1: Make a reservation with four people. Suggestion 2: Take two bottles of wine to accompany your dinner (FREE corkage) Suggestion 3: If your three other friends are close, choose one soup, 1-2 appetizers, 1 salad, and 3 entrees. With this combination everyone can try the amazing flavors of this vegetarian restaurant. Oh and suggestion #4: go hungry! I haven't been to a vegetarian restaurant as good as this place. GOOD NEWS Philadelphians, they are opening a restaurant in Philadelphia: bit.ly/8PqKpk

    I had lunch here with my two vegetarian daughters on a Friday afternoon in late July. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared and well-presented. We shared the Mediterranean Sampler appetizer and then had the Inverno Salad, the Serrano Wrap and the Quesa Havana between us. However, we waited in their very narrow entry hallway more than half an hour to be seated; the two wait staff were stretched to the limit with customers and for a long time after we arrived, the seating hostess was nowhere to be seen. We waited even though there were two empty tables for more than 10 minutes, just waiting to be cleaned and re-set. We had read the menu during the long wait, so we were able to give our orders immediately after we sat down. There was only about a 15 - 20 minute wait for our salad and sandwiches. Once served, we languished in a back corner waiting for water refills and later for the check. I would give this restaurant a 5 for the food, but the overall dining experience was so negative that I have lowered it to a 3. Perhaps it is less busy during the week but expect a long wait and sub-par service on Fridays in the summer.

    Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite restaurants everrrrr. It has been my "go-to" vegetarian restaurant for years. I have persuaded many non-vegetarians to join me here, and never have they left disappointed. The portions are worth the cost. The menu is varied, and interesting. They don't really do any kind of meat alternatives, just balanced meals of veggies, grains and legumes. There is cheese in some dishes, but almost everything can be made vegan. They make their own delicious desserts. The service is always on point and friendly. The hardest part is ordering- because everything sounds so good. Go with a group and share. It gets crowded fast, so make a reservation. BYO.

    This is by far one of my favorite places to eat! The food is consistently delicious and fresh. The hot dishes come out nice and hot. Each dish is plated beautifully with lots of color and strikes all your senses. I have a few recommendations; for starters the goat cheese nachos are fantastic and full of flavor. The melted goat cheese really takes these to a new level. I also love the plantain appetizer with the creamy wasabi sauce. It's spicy but so good. Their soups are also a must try, the Thai ginger carrot and potato chowder are two of my favorites but I feel as if you can't go wrong with any of them. The place is small and you need a reservation. The only semi down side is the service is a bit slow, but totally worth the wait! Great place for a girls night out, a date or even a lunch date with mom!

    I have never actually been to the Blue Sage, but I have eaten their food for years. Every Christmas Eve my Aunt gets two huge platters of food from the Blue Sage for us vegetarians. I have one thing to say: Blue. Corn. Aparagus. Tacos. I don't know what they put in those things, but I can magically put back at least a dozen of these every year. I think I gain a couple pounds at Christmas just from the Blue Sage food. It's so good.

    This place is amazing. My boyfriend and I save it for special occasions. I am a vegetarian, but my boyfriend is basically a carnivore. Despite his love of meat, he really enjoys this place. I always leave full, and wanting to order another dish so I can have something to take home for the next day. I have tried the following and recommend all of them: Blue Corn & Asparagus Tacos Pacific Rim Tostados Green Curry BBQ Summer Rolls Roasted Fingerling Potato Salad Poblano

    Variety of vegetarian food is enormous! They have tons of different items that most people have never seen. The food was a little bland for me but that didn't hinder the overall taste of the food. I would still come back to try all the items. If you are a vegetarian or just want a different taste, this is the place to try!

    remember that feeling of anticipation when you were about to head to disney world for the first time? you could barely sleep the nite before...you'd heard everyone else rave about mickey mouse and space mountain...and now you were finally going to experience all the magic and wonder for yourself! yeah, well, that was me as i awaited my virgin visit to blue sage. oftentimes built up expectations work against places. space mountain? nothing but a lame roller coaster in the dark. but not blue sage. after 4 years of people telling me that i MUST try this restaurant, that, as a veg, i would absolutely LOVE it, i can honestly say that my experience most definitely lived up to the hype. for starters, i was in great company with dining companions heather M & tom C. tho they're both eaters of the meat, this was heather's third visit to blue sage in two months and tom exclaimed that the menu read like veggie porn...which it does. with the description of [cue slow, sexy voice here] "fresh blue corn tortilla chips with smokey adobo black beans, roasted corn, grilled julienne red peppers, ovendried cherry tomato halves & creamy roasted onion goat-manchego queso," the adobo goat cheese nachos sure sounded like a must-have app. not surprisingly, they were as delicious as we'd hoped they'd be, and the portion was so large that the 3 of us couldn't even finish it! there were two entree specials being offered - a poblano pepper stuffed with caponata and another one featuring squash blossoms - which tom & heather ordered respectively. i went with a menu item, the cubano supper, featuring [sexy voice again] "flaky plantain pastries stuffed with sunflower seed-smoked red pepper pesto surrounding a tower of yellow tomatoes & avocado corn salsa and served with chipotle jicama slaw & mango-papaya relish." let's just say there was as much color and flavor in this dish as there were adjectives to describe it. dessert items like a chocolate panini and a hazelnut toffee basket sounded tempting, but were quickly forgotten when our server informed us of the nite's special: a pumpkin bread pudding with whiskey caramel sauce and scoop of ice cream. wow! a delicious seasonal treat that i highly recommend whenever available. i knew going in to this meal that there was no tofu or faux meat, just straight up veggies, and i'll admit that i thought i would miss it...but ya know what? i didn't. not. one. bit. all that said, the drive from my office in media, pa to the unassuming southampton strip mall where blue sage resides took me close to an hour. for food this good, i will gladly make that trek again.

    I had the nachos, some salsa dip, hush puppies, green tea creme brulee, and the shepherd's pie - all unbelievable. If you go on the weekend, reservations are a must. The place is tiny and gets crowed quickly. Finally, there is a vegetarian restaurant that even carnivores can't resist!!

    Took the vegetarian bf here for a relaxing birthday lunch. We did not leave disappointed. No siree! Note: For Lunch Only - you do not need reservations ... though if you are going at the peak lunch/brunch hours - you may need to wait as it is a smaller dining area. Ambiance: Don't let the outside strip mall look deceive you... once you step inside - you are greeted with warm wood paneling and quaint decorative touches that make you feel like you are just stopping in for a meal in a rustic farmhouse. Service: Very helpful and bright. She did try to warn us about the portions but we ignorantly did not heed her advice. She had a good chuckle when she saw our desperate "oh no we're too full already" looks as we finished up our appetizers. Food: Phew... get ready to give your stomach a workout... if you are like me and usually indulge in a few appetizers plus your entree and almost ALWAYS get a dessert... Beware! the portions here will dominate your eating capacity, which is AWESOME. *Blue corn asparagus tacos* are dense and packed with delicious flavor and texture. This "appetizer" could have been an entree... *Cheese sliders* were also big flavor winners. The meat lover in me kept thinking how amazing it would be to have a nice pat o burger in it BUT it was delicious enough to hold it's own. TIP: if you are a hater of blue cheese - you can ask for a replacement cheese such as goat cheese. but to be honest - as someone who isn't a big fan of the strong blues... this particular blue cheese was not only tolerable but scrumptious in the slider! We arrived upon the entree portion of our meal and split the *eggplant/brie sandwich* - which was decent but the flavors were much more earthy, subtle and muted comparatively to the very bright / sharp appetizers. If you are into more mellow flavors - go for this sandwich. At this point in our mid-day meal... we were approaching food coma but we had to at least try one dessert. *Chocolate bread pudding?!* YES please! It's rich, thick, dense and more chocolatey than your usual bread pudding. I highly recommend BYOing a little pint of raw organic milk to wash this dessert down. Drinks: BYO! But everyone around us were clearly loving the offered selection of iced teas. Alas, we were satisfied to enjoy our meal with a nice Rochefort 10 & fresh farm milk. Overall, we left very full, very happy and with decent leftovers! The price point and portion size ratio is incredible compared to the city's top veggie restaurants. Now, I do wish they offered espresso items and more dark chocolate dessert options. But these are minor afterthoughts and I cannot wait to go back!

    THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!!!! Everything I or my friends/family have gotten they have loved. My grandmother said that the ice cream was like "sunshine in your mouth." Servings are large, and prices are a little high for the non-casual entrees. I love the focaccia mushroom sandwich, the queso/roasted cherry tomato/blue tortilla nachos, all of the salads, all of the soups, and ESPECIALLY THE DESSERTS!! You never would have known it was vegetarian because the menu is big and diverse and of course DELICIOUS!! Plus the atmosphere and the servers are fantastic. I always chit chat with them about the food and get recommendations. This is also a BYO. Highly highly highly recommended. Get a reservation, though, because the place is tiny. My first choice for a special night out.

    Blue Sage is my favorite restaurant in the Bucks County area...their food never disappoints. Although it seems a bit pricey, the presentation of their food and the actual quality and taste is well worth the price. There aren't very many vegetarian restaurants in the area, so this place is always packed! The only downfall of the restaurant is the size of it...because there is a lack of room and space, sometimes it may feel crammed walking to the bathroom, or walking through the tables to pick up your take out. Another thing that I dislike regarding the size of the restaurant is that the tables are VERY close, if you are sitting on the side where the booth is, you can pretty much hear the conversation of the person next to you. This also makes making reservations very tough, because their are only so many tables... But all in all, regarding the food and service, I have been going to Blue Sage for years and I have never been let down

    I'm finishing off the last of my *Adobo Cheese Nachos* as I write this review. MmMmmm. The Blue Sage Grill is one of the top 5 highest rated vegetarian restaurants in the Philadelphia and I am so so happy I finally had the chance to stop in for dinner. This tiny restaurant is serving up some of the best food I've ever tasted. Vegetarian or not you will absolutely love this place. The dishes are light but filling and packed with enough flavor to satisfy even the most carnivorous among us. Not having meat as a focal point in these dishes really highlights the flavors in the vegetables and herbs. We made reservations thanks to a tip from a fellow yelper . The place was packed at 5:30 but the food came out fast and the waitress was very nice and informative. She brought out fresh pumpernickel bead with a delicious pumpkin seed butter and cranberry relish. YUM. I ordered the famous *Adobo Cheese Nachos* to start. These things could of been a meal of their own HUGE and layered with black beans, tomatoes, corn, fresh chives , cilantro, adobo cheese and freshly roasted red peppers( so smoky). Oh and the beast part * creamy roasted onion goat-monchego queso*. For my entrée I ordered the *Macadamia Crusted Black Bean Cakes. They were amazing served over quinoa-black rice pilaf and pineapple salsa . Most entrees start at about $20 which isn't too bad. Me and Autumn both got appetizers and entrees for about $60total. I love this place. This place impressed the pants off of me. I have no pants! Definitely going back with everyone I know :)

    Awesomely delicious food, nice variety of menu selections, but too much dairy. Nice atmosphere. The prices are high but the portions are huge (so you get virtually two meals out of one). I don't trust the "request dairy free" suggestion - my food still tasted cheesy.

  • Kate M.

    Loved it! Went here with a few friends a few weeks ago. For my soup, I got the black bean soup which was great!! Best black bean soup I ever had. For dinner, I had the poblano, which was HUGE (had enough to eat it for lunch the next day) even with my friend and I sharing it. It was stuffed with veges. Had a corn type salsa thing on the side. My one friend had the falafal which she said was excellent. And for dessert, we split the bread pudding with peanut butter sorbet on the side. AMAZING!!! I am not a vegetarian, but you don't have to be to have a great time here. It is BYOB but it is a tiny place so make reservations if you can.

    I have to admit, I was very skeptical when I was told I would be spending one of my valuable Saturday nights eating at a vegetarian restaurant. I assumed I would be eating tofu made to look and taste like meat. I was pleasantly surprised. No fake tofu meat. In fact, I don't think I ate any tofu. The food was great! I did not find myself missing or wanting meat at all. Most of the dishes I sampled had a Mexican flavor to them, I guess Mexican spices are bold in flavor and effective in spicing up a meal. However they did it I loved Blue Sage. The food was great by any measure, not just in terms of vegetarian food. It is also good to share. There isn't a whole lot of room so make sure you call ahead. This place is great for vegetarians and non-veges alike, there is no reason to say "eww, it's vegetarian". If I could have good like this everyday I would be a vegetarian myself.

    Been here like four times, always good. Came here for my birthday as well and had a great something or another inside a nice crispy shell of something! Good iced tea. Parking is sort of a nightmare, and it's always crowded because it's so good, but well worth any sort of inconvenience you may think you have. You aren't being inconvenienced, because you're about to embark on an epic culinary journey to Blue Sage. From the moment of entering the door, the waiters bow down to you and you get a towel in lukewarm water laced with lavender and rose petals. JK LOL! Good vegetarian food.

    Blue sage ROCKS. It's a shame it's so small, as it makes it NOT a good choice for one of those Friday nights when you're like "hey, why don't we...?" But, I'll forgive it for its smallness and move on to my fav things there. The first time I ever went there like 5 years ago, I got the El Fino Wrap (it's this wrap with poached pears, gorgonzola cheese, toasted (i think) pecans and maybe some dried cranberries and onion?), and I almost passed away it was so amazing. To this day it's still my favorite thing there, and in my top 5 favorite foods on earth. They don't have it on the dinner menu though, but you can always order it. THAT is my ultimate fav. In terms of soup - they are like soupmakers from the future. Flavor combos I've never heard of warm ginormous bowls. The thai carrot soup makes me want to live in Thailand and become a carrot farmer. They drizzle this creme fraiche on top and.... yeah. You get it. I also had this really awesome beet soup there... Which reminds me... Those crazy cooks at Blue Sage are like Masters of the Beet. In fact, I was not aware of the degree at which I adore the beet until I'd seen it cooked/utilized about 5 different ways there. It's awesome. Then it's like, okay.... What else could they do to be Awesome McAwesometon? Oh, they could have world-class desserts (w vegan options too) that make you want to setup a little cot and just live in their dining room. So, obviously, I love this place. One more thing - I prefer Blue Sage for lunch. The options are there, it's cheaper, and they actually have more stuff I like on the lunch menu. DInner gets a little too grainy for me - literally. I mean, I like quinoa, but it just doesn't wow me like the lunch stuff does. Na mean? Hearts out to the Sage.

    This is BY FAR my favorite Vege restaurant that I've experienced ANYWHERE. It's a small space (well, at least compared to the restaurants I frequent in the DC area), but is cozy (in a make friends with your neighbor sort of way) and charming. The service is attentive without being pushy and gives you a kind of "this is our home....welcome" sort of feeling. The menu, while Vege, is HARDLY boring. You won't miss meat one bit (not that I eat any besides poultry to begin with). The dishes are representative of countries all over the world with occasional dishes that have flavor combinations from two countries or more - and are unexpectedly well paired. Truly, the food here is, simply put, amazing. And coming from the DC area, I hardly ever encounter a BYOB, especially one that doesn't charge a corkage fee more than most home bought wines! This is always a welcomed addition and a fantastic way to experience the wines you enjoy with their amazing repertoire of dishes. The menu is seasonal, so there are always new surprises that await you. Two dishes, which I believe are staples of theirs and NOT TO BE MISSED, are The Adobo Goat Cheese Nachos and the Asparagus Tacos. Do not pass these up! You will not be disappointed!

    Blue Sage is always great, almost always crowded, and, tragically, closed Sundays and Mondays. Reservations are definitely a must and I recommend bringing friends so you can get a larger table and be slightly further from the next table. The two-person tables always seem to leave us sitting 4 inches from an unknown loud-talker. While the entrees are all delicious I recommend that on at least one visit you go the appetizer + sandwich route. My wife and I always choose a new appetizer and then order our regular sandwiches. We split the Falafel Wrap and the Wild Blue Focaccia and usually have 1/4 of each to take home. The falafel is ludicrously tasty and has a magical stay-crispy-while-surrounded-by-spicy-slaw property that leaves me stunned. The mixed mushrooms in the Wild Blue focaccia do their job and let the Gorgonzola really hit you. We're always too full for dessert. P.S. BYOB

    Love, love, love Blue Sage. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in the area. I have been here a number of times and have never had anything I didn't like. The menu changes periodically and there are seasonal additions as well. The 2 must-try items on the menu are the corn chowder and the goat cheese nachos. Everything is a little more expensive, but the portions are enormous. You definitely get what you pay for. Also, if you plan on going in the evening, you definitely need a reservation.

    Thank god my job takes me all over so I have the opportunity to try new places for lunch. This was delicious. I had the Porto Cubano. It was huge and extremely tasty. I also took home a container of the sweet potato peanut soup. Also very good and chunky, more like a stew. I had the iced tea of the day, which tasted like a pomegranate tea blend. Everyone was very helpful and nice, even though they were jammed. If I'm ever back in the neighborhood I will definately eat there again.

    This place has been high on my queue for several years. I always tell my friends it's like eating a five star meal on a three star budget. The owners, who are also the chefs, control every plate that exits the kitchen and onto the patron's table (which is also why the dining room isn't very big). Each dish is well thought out, from the locally sourced ingredients to its final execution. There's no skimping on the amount of food on your plate so you're guaranteed to go home with leftovers for next day's lunch (you mean I get to extend this wonderful experience?!) The Sonoma Sampler is my favorite dish which includes oven roasted baby beets and cherry tomatoes over tabouleh and lentils mixed with pistachios, corn and cucumber, watercress in a pear walnut vinagrette, topped with grilled pita slivers topped with hummus, baba ghanoush and guacamole. If you've saved room for dessert, might I suggest their Hazelnut Toffee Basket, a rich chocolate buttercream mousse which is reminiscent of Nutella, carmelized bananas and toasted hazelnuts. Oh, and did I mention this is available as vegan upon request? I've brought countless meat-eaters to this place and they've never complained about missing meat. No matter for lunch or dinner, the place is always packed, which to me is a great compliment to the food. And although the noise levels can be overwhelming at times, great food is for great conversation and if you take a glance at the surrounding tables, everyone is laughing and smiling and enjoying their experience (perhaps it's b.y.o.b. policy helps, too). Expect your meals to take a little bit of extra time to come out if the place is packed, so remember to bring some patience along with a bottle of wine. It is not for those in a hurry! You can also order food by phone to take out. This is by far the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to in the Philly/NJ/DE/MD area, my most recommended and always my number 1.
