Sage on Laurel

Great food, decent prices and friendly staff! Modern and clean environment and fun food with diverse options.

Just came here for the first time and the food was absolutely amazing, we ordered the veggie lasagna, and the spring roll salad. Service was great but it does take a little bit of time for you to get your food, I think because they make everything super fresh. The atmosphere is cute and cozy nestled in the old Brainard downtown area. A must go to spot.

Great setting and atmosphere. Chicken pot pie to die for. Mixed drinks are excellent and affordable.

This is a really cute place located in the cute small town feel of brainerd. Plenty of gift shops around. I felt like this place stood out because they have some hipstery menu options. There's street and lot parking which does fill up fast on the busy days. The place itself was quiet on a Saturday at 1:30pm. Very cute and decorated with plants on the inside I indulged on the Bloody Mary and the wild rice dragon bowl. The bowl sounded light and delicious. The smoked salmon was an excellent smoky flavor that stood out to me. I felt that the bowl was a missing a complimentary sweetness to it though. The walnuts added such a dull crunchy taste that didn't serve much purpose. I would've liked to see maybe some pecans or cranberries instead? I would've liked to see a little more apple slices as well. The creamy balsamic was amazing! I thought it was ranch at first, I have never seen a creamy balsamic like this. I would recommend not to dump the dressing onto the dish all out at once because it looses its flavor real fast. The bloody tasted like a simple bloody. I wished a place like this used their own mix. Instead they use zing-zang which isn't unique at all and anyone can get that mix at the liquor store. PPrices were fair and so was the service. Kind of a black sheep in the small-town feel of brainerd.

Stopped here for an early dinner before the Escape room across the street and the service was super kind. I loved that they did a soup flight that allowed you to try everything. The server was also really nice about my friend who is gluten-free I have to say, though my steak dinner and the broccoli side had way too much of the jar garlic on it. I also did not love the Italian meatball soup, it had little pieces of chopped up salami that made it taste kind of funky.The inside was super cute and the music was pretty decent! Probably one of the nicer spots you're gonna find to eat in Brainerd.

My wife and I went here for a date night dinner. Very artistic and memorable decor with an overall fun ambiance. Service was attentive but didn't seem like they were excited to make recommendations or ask us anything personal about our visit. I got the beef and cheese sandwich which was decent but not something I'll get again. My wife got the dragon bowl which she thought would have more 'Asian' flavors, adding smoked salmon which was delicious. We might be back to try the spring rolls and another entree.

Fast, friendly service and fresh delicious food! Very cute, artsy atmosphere inside. I had the Fresh Spring Roll.

We love that they always seem to have something different and interesting on the menu - things you can't always get in Brainerd! You can't pass up the patio in the summer!

Comfortable atmosphere, unique menu offering fresh, local ingredients. Great drinks and a private meeting area. Super friendly service. Note the eggroll bowl is very salty if that is a concern.

As mentioned on other reviews, the service was slow... very slow. It wasn't that busy for an evening. The CWR soup was good, but the CWR pot pie was too salty. The
