Visited Sage and Cedar for a weekday lunch. Plenty of seats at 11, but by noon the indoor and back porch seats were nearly full. Decor was thoughtful and artistic woods and masonry with open air and light, a la Ballston Spa's Whistling Kettle or many Saratoga or Bennington area pubs but a bit classier / feminine.
Food was updated American lunches (Bowls, Wraps, Pub sandwiches, soups).
The food was very good and the ingredients fresh, with some homemade refrigerator pickles and sauces sprinkled throughout.
We both had the gazpacho, very fresh, plainer than some, perfect for the hot summer day. I had the cuban sandwich, which had all the traditional ingredients. Easily one of the best I've had in the states, but if I had a critique, it's that the flavorful homemade pickle kind of stole the sandwich from the somewhat bland ham: if they leaned into a smokier ham it might stand out against the homemade pickle better.
ADA access was fair, with the front door level to the streetside and the whole space on one level hardwood floor. Three low wood tables to the left could fit a wheelchair nicely on the end, but other tables were high or in tighter spaces where a wheelchair would struggle. Bathroom was a single unisex, but large enough for a wheelchair and a helpful family member or assistant beside, very clean, and artistically decorated. However, the parking lot/ back door is only accessible up a flight of wood steps and would be impassible for a wheelchair or walker, navigable for the visually impaired.
Very much enjoyed Sage and Cedar, will return. If you're in Gloversville and need a lunch with more than a touch of flavor and class, this is the spot. Gloversville and North Amsterdam have a somewhat deserved reputation for being big box/steakhouse territory only, but the past years new arrivals of Grand Indian Kitchen and Sage and Cedar are adding more variety. read more
