Due to inclement weather, the Sage Student Bistro will not be open today for lunch service, Thursday, February 16th. We will not be reopening for another service, as today is the last day for the classes to meet. At this time, we are still planning to operate for dinner service. We look forward to serving you in the spring term; dates will be posted in early March.The Sage Student Bistro operates as a customer-focused classroom providing our students an opportunity to refine their culinary, bakery, service, and supervisory skills in a setting where the element of time is as important as the food and service. Because this is a class, the Bistro is open when the students are in session. A standard menu and weekly, student-designed prix fixe specials are offered during dinner.
