Sage Cottage Restaurant opens near Adairsville: Here's a change of pace--reporting a restaurant opening in Bartow County rather than the other way around. We're getting good initial reports on the just-opened Sage Cottage Restaurant near Adairsville and Barnsley Gardens. The cottages offer a different style of accommodations in an attractive layout with just-as-attractive prices. Now comes the restaurant courtesy of Jim and Sharon Southerland, known for their great work at the original Adairsville Inn. The menu features steaks, seafood, crepes and killer homemade desserts. Our friend tried the orange roughy with a twice baked potato and dill green beans followed by a chocolate torte with whipped cream. Her summary: "Delicious." Sage Cottage Restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and for dinner from 5 to 9:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Sunday hours: 11:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. For more, call 770-877-5995 or click Sage Cottage.
