From the outside, saw a few people eating under a large covered patio shared used by multiple restaurants. Only saw a few people on the inside of this tiny restaurant.. Before decided to go in, was thinking, we are a long way from the ocean, looking at a tiny hole in the wall restaurant, serving sushi. What could possibly go wrong here.? Read the outstanding Yelp reviews and recall some of my best dining experiences have been st in the wall restaurants. Walked in and was quickly created. They have and benches and tables on one side and along table boor facing a window on the on the other side of the room. Menu was Asian Fusion and opted for the BBQ Pork with Rice and Fresh Vegetables. What a score. Huge portion and very tasty. Since I was eating with chop sticks we were there for a very long time. Saw many fresh dishes, happy customers and the place was packed . Lots of to go orders from locals as well. All great here!

This company is probably one of the better Thai places in Durango. Unfortunately, we do not have…read moremany options. I specifically let the ownership know that I was on a low-carb diet so I didn't want any noodles or rice. The woman that I was speaking to before told me to order off of their paper menu and she told me what numbers to consider, which were #5 and down through #22. I've only eaten here once before and took her suggestion literally. I guess it's the brother, or Manager as he stated on the phone that took my order. I asked for a number 9 without rice, and it's listed under rice dishes. When I got home with my food, it was filled with noodles. I called to note the consistency and he turned it around on me stating that this is a noodle dish that is also served with rice and I only asked for no rice. I tried to point out to him that nowhere under the ingredients mentioned does it list any noodles on this dish. He never understood my reasoning and said that there were pictures that were there of the dishes that I should have used when making my order. I didn't see that there were any noodles on this that I needed to omit from my order. For all I knew these were rice noodles or an option. I am also not used to seeing both noodles and rice on the same dish and he stated that these were tapioca noodles, not rice, so that's why they came. I could see his point, but he could not see mine. He accused me of harassing him, which I felt was rather strong because I simply called in a calm voice, trying to explain my logic, but he did not care at all. He said this was my fault entirely, which I don't agree with but you can see the picture of the menu for yourself. At the end of the day, if a customer has a concern or a complaint, they simply want to be heard. There was no apology for any misunderstanding. There was no customer service tone in anyway, I even had to ask him to stop interrupting me for just a minute so I could complete a sentence. If anything, I simply wanted to have them acknowledge what happened so it can help other customers in the future. As far as the food, there was no depth of flavor. I ordered it medium which was recommended since I cannot handle "Thai" hot. I give this dish a 2.5/5 on just the flavor as it was missing something. I give my experience a 1 for the overall rating. It's not saucy but I didn't know what to expect. However, given the size of the serving, it could have used more mushrooms, cilantro, and peanuts to balance out the dish. It came loaded with bamboo shoots, noodles and there was ample onion and pork, but the pork was tough. The female there was very nice but this guy obviously ruined it for me.

Located on the main drag leading out of town toward Silverton, it seems popular. There is a small parking lot that we were fortunate enough to find spot close to the door. Upon entering, there is a counter to the left and seating to the right. The seating is bar style, along with tables and booths. My wife chose a chicken salad sandwich and I chose the ham and Gruyere sandwich. They come with, in my opnion, rather flavorless tortilla chips. However, my sandwich is really a panini, toasted on the outside. It was very flavorful with a crunch on the outside due to being toasted but a chewy inside due to the ham and cheese. Really, a great texture, in my opinion. My wife felt the cashier had a bit of an attitude when she needed one of the soda dispensers changed out due to be empty. Like he was put out. Overall, we did like Sage Fresh Eats and would come again.

The owner was super friendly and a pleasure to visit with. She was exceptional with greeting her customers and telling them until we meet again upon leaving. Would definitely recommend this place.

It wasn't crowded during my visits, but even with a line, you'll get your food quickly. There are lots of vegan and veggie options. Stuff for the kids too. Our food was ok. We both ordered off the menu, rather than making our own salad / bowl. I had the Vietnamese bowl - chicken, quinoa, cabbage, cucumber and carrots, with a vaguely Asian dressing. My fiancé had the Caesar salad with chicken, and while it bore little resemblance to a Caesar salad, he enjoyed it. I can recommend this place for a quick and healthy lunch, but look over the menu, and consider building your own. Happy travels! Seatbelts!

INCREDIBLE!!!! Mike,…read morethe bartender, took wonderful care of us. He has great energy, is incredibly accommodating, and couldn't have been friendlier. We started with the carpaccio, which we almost always order when a restaurant offers it. And we were completely blown away. This was, without question, the best carpaccio we have ever had. Seriously -- the best. It was the surprise of the entire dining experience. That's not to say the dishes that followed were anything less than spectacular. The puttanesca, lasagna, and affogato were all excellent in their own right. But the true star of the evening was the carpaccio. If you go, do yourself a favor and order it. You will not regret it.

Halfway through our salad they seated a male right next to my husband. The rest of the bar area was open and all the booths along the wall were open as well. The man was filthy dirty and the odor from him filled the room. His hands had blood on them too. He kept mumbling and laughing and when the bartender tried to take his order he was having a difficult time understanding him. My husband got up to go to address the situation and the man proceeded to show me his teeth and growling at me. This behavior completely changed the direction of our evening and hopes for a nice experience for dinner. The restaurant wanted us to make changes rather than the man disrupting the evening. We decided to leave and dine elsewhere. The restaurant made zero efforts to accommodate this unfortunate time for us on our vacation. Empathy for someone is not lost on me, but lack of respect for us was certainly lost on the management here! Save yourself the time and find an alternate place to patronize when in Durango!

Absolutely some of the worst front of house I've ever seen. I asked the check mid-way and left because of how uncomfortable the atmosphere was. Note: this was the sushi restaurant & a general spot recommended to me by many online lists and locals. It's sad to see a horrific front of house ruin an otherwise lovely establishment. Sad on all accounts. Do a lot better for these premium price points in a small town. If management or ownerships cares -- your staff is ruining your business.
