"Well lit, enthusiastically decorated, and saturated with deep crimsons and eggplants, this vegan mecca remains one of the area's prettier suburban restaurants. The servers supply knowledge without preaching, and entrees like a Thai green curry noodle dish and zucchini Alfredo with marinated mushroom and fennel defy expectations of vegan cuisine.

menu inspired by exotic flavors from around the world, using organic
ingredients to nourish the body, and providing a warm, earthy, yet romantic

Liz Fixsen's Music Column: Damon Foreman Brings His
Charisma to Great Sage in Clarksville


There are several apparent
contradictions at Great Sage restaurant in Clarksville. Why is such a stylish
little eatery hiding at the back of a shopping center off Route 108, on the
fringes of Howard County civilization, instead of at Lake Kittamaqundi
in the throbbing heart of downtown Columbia? Why is a powerhouse red-meat funk

peppers, carrots, and panko, served over separate beds of cranberry-mango
chutney and sautéed swiss chard with cashew sauce—a
grand-slam of imagination and presentation, and absolutely the kind of thing
