    Josh is an amazing chef, hands down! His new restaurant, Borage, in Speedway, is a wonderful addition to the westside. Four of us dined there last night and we all walked away completely satisfied, if not in astonishment, with every dish we ordered. Having eating Josh's cooking before, I was curious to know how he could elevate a grilled pimento cheese sandwich to the next level. Lo and behold, he blew me away when I took my first bite. Who would have ever thought you could wrap a grilled pimento cheese sandwich with an actual thin layer of grilled cheese? Yep, that's right. A crispy and lacy layer of grilled cheese handsomely wrapped around the sandwich was both beautiful on the plate and surprisingly the perfect touch to the yummy gooey sandwich inside. Sprinkled with peppers and pickles, it was the right amount of heat and comfort that my hard to please taste buds loved. Josh is an amazing chef, worthy of Michelan stars, no doubt. Am so grateful his restaurant is up and running and close to where I live; we will definitely be going back soon! Ten stars!

    Was in town from Oregon to watch the Ducks spank Penn State. Had brunch here. Food was outstanding, and varied. Ambiance was fantastic. Very clean, "arty" with an attached "Market". Had such a great time, that we went back today for brunch again before the big Penn State loss. When we come back for the Big 10 Championship next year, this restaurant will definitely be on our list!

    Food arrived cold. Even the coffee oddly was cold. Service was very slow.

    I will definitely be returning to Borage! Loved the unique menu and everything that we ordered. We especially enjoyed the deviled eggs (and this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t eat deviled eggs-the caviar and mini potato chips were a lovely addition). Would definitely recommend if you haven’t tried it yet!

    As always the service and food were excellent. Ive had a few things on the menu and all have been tasty, fresh and hot. My favorite thing on the menu is the “fried to order donuts”. I look forward to coming back soon because those donuts are fire.

    We were a party of 7 adults and 2 children celebrating a birthday. It was a great family time with outstanding food and efficient and friendly service. Highly recommend Borage for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And don’t miss the bakery
