Plant Bingo at Sage Kitchen was a fun evening overall. Check-in was smooth, and the staff did a…read moregreat job explaining how the game worked and what to expect before everything got started. The game itself was lively, well-paced, and everyone seemed to have a great time. The patio where the event was held is beautiful, and it was spacious enough for the crowd. The only downside to the seating was that some guests ended up behind a wall where they could hear the caller but couldn't actually see her or the plants being awarded. One suggestion that I think would make the event even better is the prize structure. When there are ties, the winners have to play rock-paper-scissors to determine who gets the plant. While that's part of the fun, I felt bad for the people who won their bingo card but ultimately went home with a donated T-shirt, soil, or plant food instead of a plant. Even a small, inexpensive plant for the runner-up would make the experience feel more rewarding, especially since the event is centered around plants. The food and service were a bit of a mixed experience. I ordered the California Club with sweet potato fries, and it was delicious. However, the menu was more limited than expected, and we were told some of the regular menu items (including the tacos!) weren't available during the event. Our server was genuinely pleasant and did the best she could, but she appeared to be covering more tables than one person reasonably should. Service was slow, and we had to remind her about our drinks after our food had already arrived. It felt more like a staffing issue than a service issue. One thing I didn't care for was the payment process. We were only brought a credit card slip with the total to add a tip and sign after our card had already been charged. We had to specifically ask for an itemized receipt to review the charges. I would have preferred the opportunity to see the bill before my card was run or at least have the option to use a different payment method. The event advertising was also a little misleading. The description said, "Join us for 20 rounds of bingo, raffle entries, plant prizes, tacos & drinks!" Based on that wording, it certainly sounded like tacos and non-alcoholic beverages were included with the ticket price. Instead, everything had to be purchased separately, and we were told the tacos (which are on the regular restaurant menu) weren't even available during the event due to the limited event menu. Clarifying that food and drinks are available for purchase would help set better expectations. Despite those issues, we genuinely enjoyed ourselves. I was fortunate enough to win one of the plants, and it's beautiful. My suggestions are simply things I think would make an already fun event even better for everyone. The energy of Plant Bingo, the beautiful patio, the organized check-in, and the friendly atmosphere made for an enjoyable evening, and with a few improvements to the prize distribution, staffing, payment process, and event advertising, it could easily become an even better experience.

The check-in process was seamless; my group received our bingo cards and the flyer outlining the 20 game plays, and we appreciated the flexibility of the indoor and outdoor seating. The service was both friendly and efficient. We were required to start a tab; I was unsure if this is standard policy or specific to the event, but either way it worked out well. I ordered the Baja bowl: grilled chicken, black beans, corn, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, and avocado served on cilantro-lime rice topped with tortilla strips and Aji Verde sauce. My bowl was delicious, fresh and portioned just right. The plant selections for the prizes were great, I actually won a Pothos Yellow Flame. I do have two suggestions: 1. Consider having extra plant prizes available for tie-breaking rounds instead of playing rock-paper-scissors. If you win you deserve a plant. 2. It would be helpful if guests were provided with a copy of their bill to verify for accuracy before their card is charged and the tab is closed. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the event. I look forward to returning to Sage Kitchen soon.

Owner Bob was manning the truck today as my kids were anxious to try them out. Bob was very patient and gave nice recommendations to the children. They ended up getting a Strawberry Smoothie and I forgot the other one darn it. They both enjoyed and Bob even gave them extra whip cream on top. I also sampled a Frozen Lemonade that was tasty. The truck features six signature drinks with catchy names like Feelin Froggy and Mellow Monkey at $6 a pop. He also offers coffee drinks including an expresso. Since I love coffee I really wish that I would have given one of them a try. Check out was smooth using a credit card. The best way to find out where the truck will be is to follow them on their facebook page https://www.facebook.com/TheThirstyFrogLLC. Bob provides updates of the trucks weekly locations. Bob provided me with a customer loyalty card. If you buy six drinks with a $3.50 value you can get any one FREE! I like what I saw and Bob was a really terrific guy. The operation was very clean and presented well. However, I need to see more of them to upgrade. I would absolutely like to try them again and sample more options off the drink menu. I recommend you give them a try, I think you will be pleased with the quality.

On the way to a restaurant in nearby Pungo for a Yelp event, I stopped here for some treats. Let's see if the good vibes lasted. After parking behind the building, I walked inside towards the counter where staff was already in place. They greeted me immediately once I walked up. At first, I was gonna order the Double Jeopardy coffee, but once I saw their Summer Latte menu, my mind was immediately changed. I picked a small hot The Verdict which was toasted marshmallow and dark mocha (milk was 2%) and also a white chocolate coconut cookie. Everything was really good. The coffee was well made and the cookie wasn't too sweet. I ended up sitting in The Judge private room which was really nice. I didn't take any pics since there were other folks inside, but it's a nice area where you can hang with some friends or your significant other. An excellent time here at Astraea Coffee. Wonderful staff and really good selections to choose from. You'll definitely see me here again soon :)

Customer service was attentive and welcoming the entire time. Overall, great food, great service, and a pleasant experience.
