Then the music is turned on and I'd call it 1960 English rock mixed in with other genres from all over, a little too loud and not really be fitting of the environment. We mentioned it to the waiter and he said it's the chef's jam so to speak. The food was certainly adventuresome. It just missed the mark too often. Either a bit too acidic or a bit off on a funny flavor profile, or in the case of the tuna really inedible as it was very tough. When all 4 ppl leave most of it, you'd think the server(s) would inquire but they just cleared the plates as if it were normal. I really hope the restaurant makes it and of course being a prefix menu we might just have been in on an off night. The plating was beautiful. The dishes were beautiful and unique. There was certainly thought put into it and the service was very nice and attentive. Wine pairing was nice and generous. If you do go here, it's worth adding it on as an option. Overall It just missed on too many flavor profiles that didn't quite go together. They do say the chef likes to combine all types of different cuisines and he certainly did that. I'm just don't know if they blended well. I probably would give it a 3 1/2 if that were possible.

I had the most wonderful three-day stay at the Retreat on a rainy weekend. The small Oak Room is in…read morethe third cottage down from the main house and was comfortable and cozy, perfect for one person or two who are traveling very light. Parking is nearly right outside the door. I had been afraid that, as a 73-year-old woman not in the best of shape, I would be too far away from the living/dining room and that the steps would be difficult, but it was really only about 60 steps (the length of a hotel hallway) from the room to the main house and there are only about 30 wide short steps. Handrails also provide security in the dark and rain. It was so quiet and peaceful. I felt completely safe and secure. No traffic or airplane noise. No TV! My background was the rain in the oak trees. The breakfasts were perfect and the living room is actually open 24/7 so you can get water and coffee or tea any time. Staff is very friendly, kind, and helpful.

Karol and Gregory were available to us throughout the process of set up and tear down and could not have been nicer or kinder in all our dealings and interactions with us. Due to our original ceremony venue being unavailable due to the recent storm we found ourselves in search of a venue. Sane Living Center fell into our laps so to speak and all our worries and concerns vanished! The space was incredibly suited to our needs and with wonderful lighting and in house sound operations we really lucked out. Thank you Karol and Gregory for making our day so very special.

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with White Sage. From our very first meeting…read morewith our planner, Jen, we knew we were in the best possible hands. Her calm, grounded energy, professionalism, and thoughtful organization immediately put us at ease. Throughout the planning process, Jen was consistently responsive, thorough, and proactive. The regular check-ins helped us feel prepared at every stage, and we always ended our calls feeling reassured, excited, and more confident about the journey ahead. As the wedding weekend approached, we were blown away by how seamlessly everything came together. Jen, Brooke, and Megan were an absolute dream team. They took care of every detail--from large vendor coordination and rental setup to the smallest personal touches that made the weekend feel uniquely ours. We were especially impressed when unexpected weather forced a last-minute dinner location change. The White Sage team handled it flawlessly, and the transition was so smooth that our guests had no idea it hadn't been part of the original plan. Jen's attention to detail, calm presence, and ability to stay composed under pressure truly set her apart. We not only felt supported by her expertise but genuinely enjoyed every conversation we had with her. We'll actually miss our planning calls--she made the process feel collaborative, grounded, and even fun. Thanks to White Sage, we were able to fully relax and be present the entire weekend, knowing that everything was being expertly handled. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they'd ever attended--and we agree! We cannot recommend White Sage highly enough. If you're looking for a team that will not only bring your vision to life but make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, this is it.

I love the colors, packaging, and decor of this place. We chose a few small bags, and one large one. They smelled great and we loved the combination of ingredients. Only drawback was we seemed to get the less friendly, less competent of the two people ringing up. She was slow to ring us up, and not very friendly. They had a complimentary pot of tea that was empty, and I asked if there was more maybe behind the counter. She responded in a cold tone that she didn't have the time to make any more. Ummm, we just dropped coin at this shop, and you can't be cool and refill the demo yummies for us? Messed up the vibe for us after being totally into the vibe of the shop. =/
