    This is such a local gem! I had my wedding at Buffalo Trace and the next morning 20ish of my friends from Chicago and other cities joined us for late brunch/lunch. This restaurant handled our large table with ease and the food was fantastic! All my friends still rave about this place! It's so charming, wonderfully decorated, and the service is great. I had the pimento cheese sandwich which came topped with bacon. Bacon! So so good. Everyone in our party loved the food. Thanks for a memorable lunch with our closest friends!

    Sage is a fresh cafe done right! I have dined here several times, and carried out when I couldn't stop, and I have always been happily surprised by the fresh ingredients and careful preparation. I love the space - open and inviting - and I love the food here. I have eaten delicious chicken salad sandwiches (where chicken was the true star, not the mayonnaise!) freshly made on thick, fluffy slices of house-made bread. I have eaten delicious angel hair pasta with a sundried tomato pesto that was so good I asked for the recipe. I have eaten a salmon sandwich with beautifully moist and flavorful fish, perfectly seasoned, and, more than once, I have grabbed a bag of hand made garlic crackers and eaten them with fresh pimento cheese and a perfect piece of fruit. Sage is well worth the extra ten minutes it takes to get here from Midway or Frankfurt, and I can't say enough about the quality of the food. Their menu offers salads and desserts, as well as fresh soups and sandwiches, and they do boxed lunches for groups and events. Sage is a healthy alternative to miles of fast food offerings, and my new go-to place for lunch :-)

    Delicious sandwiches, real ingredients. In the midst of all the greasy, fried offerings of Frankfort, Sage fills the gap by offering sandwiches made with fresh produce (Sage Cafe is part of Wilson Nurseries) and bread made from scratch. I recommend any sandwich made with their sourdough bread - it's AWESOME. It is so fluffy and flavorful. They sell it by the loaf, which I may try one day. Everyone I work with loves the roast beef sandwich. I don't eat meat so the caprese sandwich and a tomato soup is good for me! The tuna sandwich is good too. Also, unlike a lot of non-chains in Frankfort, Sage is open 11-3 to on Sundays! Food on the weekend - yay! The only drawback I'd say is it's not as cheap as getting that other aforementioned fried stuff Frankfort has, so it's a little too pricey to go to all the time. And it can get crowded during lunchtime. You can call in orders to pick up though, which is nice. It's located on the East-West connector, away from Frankfort's other clusters of restaurants, but I highly recommend venturing out there and giving it a try.

    I found this cafe to be a delightful spot to stop for lunch! The decor is lovely- plenty of plants from the nursery next door (which I also suggest you spend some time at!). Fresh options- they bake some wonderful sourdough bread. I had a savory panini- a fall special- with ham, mustard and green apple slices- a wonderful combination and a filling lunch. Unique soup and sandwich options, fresh bread and desserts. I overheard several other patrons raving about a mango smoothie- may have to try that next time.

    Great service and with the extra miles off the interstate for a satisfying lunch. We enjoyed the Monti Cristo and the Cranberry Chicken Salad Sandwich. Both were great on homemade bread. Kids enjoyed their meals of pasta and Parmesan (almost like Mac and Cheese) and ham sandwich. We finished we sharing a big cookie dipped in chocolate. Very clean and quaint. Will be our Frankfurt restaurant.

    Sage has only been open a few months but it has already become a popular spot for lunch in Frankfort. Located next to a garden nursery Sage offers up a variety a foods and desserts. Soups, salads, sandwiches, quiches and super rich desserts Sage does a good job with all of it. The dishes they offer up latch on to the theme of the restaurant and its location so you will find a lot of different fruit or vegetables involved with an emphasis on freshness in all their choices. No matter your taste you should be able to find something to eat here, and if you can't find something for lunch double down on dessert because let's be honest who doesn't like an awesome dessert. The decor in the restaurant blends nature with art. Along the walls you will see large sections of bark and tree limbs that work really well together. The great thing about being close to the nursery is that Sage benefits with having access to fresh flowers and plants that you will find all over the restaurant. They offer outdoor seating which gives you a great view of the little vegetable garden they have in between the restaurant and nursery. The restaurant does not allow people to smoke in the outdoor eating area. Parking can be kind of a pain here since it serves both the restaurant and the nursery. It's not bad in the winter when the nursery traffic is pretty much non existent but when its planting season again things can get packed.

    Its okay. The sourdough bread is good. The desserts are pretty bland tasting. Sandwiches have gotten bigger since my first review.

    I make special trips to Frankfort for their homemade Yeast bread. I bought 6 loaves today to freeze. It is yeasty goodness. Chock full of pecans too. Advice preorder this bread a week in advance cause there is a waiting list. IT. IS . THAT. GOOD!! They also have a delicious salt risen bread. This cafe is attached to Wilson's Nursery. LOVE IT!

    The setting was nice. The waitress was friendly. However, if I order a Greek salad I expect a Greek salad. I could just as easily have gone to the grocery store, opened a bag of salad and dumped it on a plate. The two bits of feta cheese and the two olives were not that impressive and took a minute or two to find. And lastly the napkins they use are cheap and flimsy and not at all absorbent. Next time I'll bring a piece of paper towel from home

    I'm a fan because I highly enjoy the atmosphere and decor. Being operated and owned by a nursery means the plentiful plants are amazing! I also love the vegetarian friendly (obviously) menu and how many choices there are! You can also buy different herb infused olive oils by pouring your own bottle. I also like how I got a mint along with my lemon slice in my water. Kirk's review mentions small sandwiches. They're not small, just regular size. :) I ate the blue cheese tomato sandwhich, which was good, but after a while the cheese was overpowering. And there was too much butter on the bread when it was toasted. The broccoli salad was okay; it was swimming in sauce. Finally, the frozen fruit salad was gross. So... why did I give it a 4 out 5? Because I have high hopes for the other food and want to go back, and the atmosphere was awesome.

    Nicely appointed spaces, both inside and out. Great use of absolutely beautiful plantings, and just about anything one might want as far as cool garden / patio furniture, planters, etc., as carried by Wilson Gardens. A beautiful setting to spend the afternoon on their patio enjoying a cool beverage. A fairly creative menu of soups (didn't try - it's summer), salads (good), sandwiches (some better than others), burgers (didn't try, but plan on it next time), and a small number of sides (starches, fruit, salads). Many ingredients were higher quality than one usually finds in Kentucky. Yep, even in Louisville or Lexington (snort). Pleasant and helpful staff. So, why only a three star rating? Because, and this is entirely worthy of an all caps BECAUSE: SEASON YOUR FOOD. Sure, there's more than salt and pepper (and I can certainly understand not wanting to oversalt, but FTLOG on a recent visit, literally everything we were served tasted just the same as every other thing we were served, because nothing was seasoned). "Roasted herbed potatoes" were neither roasted (red potatoes, entirely white on all cut potato surfaces - roasted, my nuts), nor herbed (again, that would involve adding something, anything, anything at all that would actually be both visible and able to be tasted. Literally no flavor. Couscous / quinoa salad tasted of nothing until I came home and added a dash of salt, a few dashes of pepper, a healthy dose of shallots and pepper, and about a teaspoon of Penzy's Greek seasoning. Then, it was marvelous. But, as served? it tasted like boiled couscous with the occasional crunchy quinoa "bug"...since a serving of this item involved literally one slice of olive (not one olive - a slice), one small slice of already quartered artichoke heart (again, not a quarter of an artichoke heart, a paper-thin slice of a quarter of an artichoke heart), a 32nd of a seeded tomato (for comparison purposes, an equivalent would be an eighth of a small seeded grape tomato - honestly, there wasn't enough of it for me to be able to identify what sort of tomato it was), and several large feta hunks.

    Perfect little spot for a quick and yummy lunch. I had the chicken salad sandwich. It was great! The bread they use is AMAZING! They could step up their pickle game. I hate a limp pickle...and the kettle chips were fine, but they're kettle chips you can get at the grocery store. Definitely worth visiting.

    I've been coming to Wilson Nursery for years. On my last visit I encountered a new to me feature, The Sage Garden Café. What a delight! Rather than picking up fast food on my trip to Frankfort I was able to enjoy a leisurely lunch at Sage Garden Café. So many choices on the menu from soups, burgers, sandwiches, etc. I drooled over each description. The menu does a good job revealing the components of the dish so that a person like myself can avoid allergic reactions to tree nuts or specific spices. My final dilemma was between the butternut squash soup or a 1/2 sandwich and a cup of soup. The bowl of soup won out. It was absolutely delicious to the very last drop. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying something else from the menu (probably the Hot Brown Sandwich). I'll be planning future trips to Frankfort around my lunch schedule so that I can eat at The Sage Garden Café.

    My husband took me on a lunch date here today. Amazing! I couldn't stop gushing over the place. I haven't been that in love with a restaurant in a while. I will definitely be back. The decor is gorgeous - nature inspired, rustic yet modern with lots of greenery. They have a wine selection, extensive dessert list, and a great kids menu. The menu changes seasonally and everything is fresh and delicious. I had a sandwich with turkey, bacon, guacamole, lettuce, tomato on homemade oatmeal walnut bread with the Tuscan vegetable soup which had squash, cabbage, white beans and carrots. It was so good! Everything else on the menu looked great as well. My husband has to stay on a strict lowfat diet for medical reasons and there were lots of options for him - as well as healthy, but more fattening foods for me. Perfect. There also seemed to be quite a few vegetarian options. I seriously wish this place was right next to my house.

    It is surprising finding a restaurant right next to the nursery but that just means they grown their own fresh ingredients. I love coming here for lunch on my work trips because not only are the ingredients fresh, but the food is delicious. The sandwiches are nice and thick and the salads are Huge. One of my favorites is the Thai Salmon Salad with Mandarin Oranges and capers, it's so good i ordered it on my last two visits. The ambiance and atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice but casual and with a homey feel. It is a struggle finding a restaurant to eat in Frankfort, much less a good one. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed.

    I have been coming to Sage since it opened, and they have gone through a lot of changes. I usually don't accept changes well, but it seems that it's always improvements. My favorite has always been the chicken salad on that yummy walnut cranberry bread, but lately I have taken a liking to the Mary Cat's Monte Cristo - with cranberry sauce for dipping! The atmosphere is great! They carry local wines from Prodigy Vineyards, my favorite! They also gve out coupons on the receipts for 10% off at Wilson's Nurseries next door! The desserts are sinful, but worth it - they have a local lady that makes them. The staff is friendly and most of them know my name even though I only get there about once a month.

    Went for lunch on Sunday. Good menu, relaxing patio. Modified their hamburger to be on sourdough toast for me. Excellent. Took our time and wandered through the nursery. Nice afternoon.

    Yup. The picture I took makes the Black Bean Burger look horrible. So maybe they shouldn't burn the food that they know is going out the door in a box and they wouldn't have a cruddy photo on their Yelp site huh? Any-whoo...The BB burger was delicious after picking off the burnt bits and cutting out the "core" of the tomato. I definitely feel that it was overpriced as well but at least it tasted good. Remember to not follow the Yelp directions page as it will take you to the wrong place!!! you need to look up Wilson's Nursery on your GPS and go with that. I did take home a loaf each of the sourdough and the walnut breads based on previous Yelper's recommendations. I loved the walnut bread. Very good! I would go back here just to give them another go at not burning my patty and for more of the bread to take home. :)

    Awesome service over the phone - they're super nice and always gets our orders right. Sandwiches and burgers taste pretty fresh and their bread is pretty good. Their soup sizes are tiny so u should get the bowl, not the cup size. Good for lunch

    Creative, delicious and fresh salads and sandwiches. Always experienced friently and quick enough service. Nice to sit on the patio during the warmer months. The adjacent Wilson nursery is a must visit. Great plants, although sometimes pricey. Their amazing shop, especally during the holidays, is a wonderland of gifts, goodies and trinkets of all kinds. If you go, take your time with lunch and a wandering through the nursery.

    Food was delicious, everything else was okay and I'd definitely go back if I lived in the area. Location is somewhat remote but if you want to shop at the nursery next door it could be a worthwhile trip. I also suspect it's one of few local health restaurants in this city. Menu was really great. There are many vegetarian options, not many vegan but I made it work with a black bean (mostly grains actually) veggie burger on walnut bread with a side of the best fruit I've had yet this season. Really abundant portion sizes, good value, delicious and my special order came out right the first time. My travel buddy enjoyed the Helen's choice sandwich and a mediterranean couscous salad about which she raved. Service was a little slow but, to be fair, it was extremely slammed on the sunniest lunchtime afternoon in late April. It's also very loud inside due to it being a small but beautiful and sweet venue. There were lots of wonderful health and whole foods for breakfast that I was sorry to miss and some selections of teas and coffees I'll try if I make it back.

    Very Very yummy!! I go here often and when people come from out of town, this is the place I recommend first. Food is FRESH. Bread is out of this world. People complain about the proportion sizes, but I don't know why...it is always more than enough, and most the time, I take home a box to go. Atmosphere is very classy and modern. Everyone I take there, loves it. Worth going, because that's what GREAT FOOD should taste like!!
