Sage Cafe Sherman

Based on our first visit we will likely be returning for more and here are the reasons why: 1) I've had the pleasure of having had Chef Robert's food in the past at Willowood Ranch in Bells, so I had higher expectations than I otherwise wouldn't at a new eatery. 2) The restaurant was very clean. I understand we probably arrived shortly after they opened today, but it's important to my family and me to see cleanliness where we eat. 3) There were three in our party and all three meals arrived piping hot and fresh. I had ordered a reuben with pastrami and a side of fresh potato chips. The meat was moist and tender and the bread, a rye, was fresh as well. We also had ordered a brisket grilled cheese and a kids meal with chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. While the brisket could have been chopped a bit more, the flavor was spot on with a fine balance of smokiness. 4) The prices were slightly more than I would have liked to pay for lunch (sandwich and chips - $9), I looked over the entire menu and felt the cost for meals and appetizers was just and affordable for dinner on a small budget. 5) The staff was friendly, courteous and attentive. One can't have too much of that while eating out! I would have loved to try the desserts because they, too, looked amazing; however, I was STUFFED and needed to return to work without wanting to take a nap. Overall a 5 out of 5 for downtown Sherman because it was indeed excellent.
