Cocktails and draft beer choice were excellent! Plenty of amazing vegetarian options on the menu. The server knew the menu and accurately answered our questions. He also served/entered the food so things ordered together didn't all come out at once. We had a salad, two small plates/apps and split a dinner item (all vegetarian) and it was all so good. Flavors were all on point, excellent chefs. They had THE BEST mushroom steak we have ever had! And to top it off, the Texas Sheet cake was to die for! Recommend again and again! Can't wait to try the brunch menu.

Fourth visit in a month. Does not disappoint. Love everything about Borage. We came for dinner and live music afterwards. But we shop the bakery first because my favorite canele might be sold out. Tonight I got the last one! We also got pain au chocolate, bagels, baguette, and the indescribably good toffee cookies. And Basque style coffee cheesecake. You simply must go. I recommend reservations.

We had a fantastic evening savoring an array of delicious, palate-pleasing dishes. The crispy fried oyster mushrooms made for a perfect starter, setting the stage for my main course—a refreshing cold Brussels sprouts salad with sliced chicken breast and two types of lentils. The mustard maple dressing elevated every bite! If you’re in Speedway, this hidden gem is definitely worth a visit!

Had the chicken sandwich. The bun was too heavy and dry and overpowered the small piece of fried chicken. The chicken and homemade pickles were delicious once the bread was removed. Definitely too small of a portion and no side for the price. My friend had the turkey manhattan. She felt the turkey tasted like bacon. The cranberry compote was too sweet. The sweet potato was a diced garnish for color and almost nonexistent. There were plenty of creamy mashed potatoes and gravy. Neither of us would order the same dish again. We might go back and try the breakfast items.

Our server was amazing. They do not have a dedicated gluten free menu, but she walked me through it explaining which items could be modified. Kitchen cooked my eggs and sausage in a separate skillet- turned out perfect!

They were out of three dinner menu items - one salad and two main dishes. We planned on ordering the mains so we were very disappointed when told they were out. Seemed inexcusable at 7:00, but we figured the way it goes. Otherwise a pleasant enough meal and good service.
