| - I've been to Sage several times, mostly to grab a slice of their quiche (which is always tasty and filling, and my favourite offering of theirs) when I'm too rushed to pack my lunch that day. That being said, I have several reservations about going here:
1) The rest of their food is pretty bland. Sandwich/wrap fillings are surprisingly tasteless, even the curry.
2) Some items are overpriced. $4 for a side salad that's just a small pile of lettuce and some grated carrot/radish?
3) They give you a really hard time about using a credit card. They will take it if you absolutely have no other form of payment, but will let you know how unhappy they are about it. Which leads me to my next point...
4) Few places in Toronto have staff as rude as Sage's. I don't expect restaurant staff to be smiley or even friendly, but on multiple occasions I've seen Sage's owner and employees badmouth customers who've just left, in front of a long line of people waiting to pay/order. Once about a woman dared to ask to use debit for a $4 purchase (I was about to pay with debit for a $5 piece of quiche, and quickly started scrambling in my pockets for enough change...). And once about a customer who had changed the number of sandwiches they were ordering for catering.
Like I said, I'll go here if I need a quick bite, but I stick to the quiche, make sure to bring cash, and try to be in and out as fast as I can.
