Sage Kitchen — Restaurant in Virginia

Worst restaurant experience, I have had bar none. I am, by nature, a patient and laid-back man who extends a wealth of understanding in most situations. This was simply unacceptable. We went there during lunch hour, they told my wife and I that it would take 20-30 mins to get food. We ordered two sandwiches. We wanted to shop a bit, so we ordered, and got a table. We browsed the shop for about 20 minutes since they gave us a card to put on our table to indicate our ticket number and alert them that we were shopping. We got back to the table and waited another 20 mins. I went to alert them and informed the order taker that we had waited for 40 minutes. He confirmed that they had our ticket number, and they were working on it. About 15 minutes later the gentlemen who had ordered just a head of us and had overheard my wife comment that they had finished their meal before we had been served went to the counter to alert them that we had not yet received our food. Another 20 to 30 minutes later, when the place was so quiet the manager/order taker was out cleaning tables, we had still not served. I requested a full refund and was granted it. She initially tried to tell me they must have lost the ticket, and I explained that they confirmed they had it once with me and once with another customer 20 and 40 minutes ago. We waited 180 minutes for food they had not even started to prepare despite being prompted twice. This was by far the worst customer service I have experienced. It's hard not to wonder if this was intentional. I would not recommend this...

This is the neatest little place! It is basically a cafe set inside a garden center...... but not a stinky garden center that is just full of fertilizer bags, but a garden center that has all sorts of gift, Home decor, Etc displays on the inside. All of the plants and that sort of thing are on the outside.

A friend and I came here a few days ago, and because I have to follow a gluten-free diet, I am always a little unsure when I go to a new place if I am going to feel okay later or not. However, I am pleased to report that I ordered the blackened chicken sandwich with blue cheese (minus the bun, of course) with a side of sweet potato fries, and I felt great afterward. Plus, the food was delicious, and there were no gross chunks of fat or tendons or connective tissue left in the the meat. It was so lovely to just be able to eat it without having to look for the nasty bits to cut out. I had heard about the chicken salad here some years ago, and I always thought that's what I would get when I visited, but I am so pleased I got the blackened chicken. It was really yummy!

I was on a some what tight schedule, so I did not have an opportunity to look through all of the lovely displays inside, but this is on my must visit list the next time...
