The menu is limited but the food is exquisite. I had the venison burger. My husband said he’d never heard me rave about a burger so much. He had swordfish and it was perfectly and seasoned.
The hand-crafted cocktails are great! The wine choices are very pricey.
We had wonderful desserts—chocolate mousse got high marks from my husband. The strawberry shortcake cheesecake was lovely.
We went for our anniversary, and it was a perfect place for the occasion. Our server, Paul, was phenomenal!
Spectacular food and service. The striped sea bass was out of this world. Ask for Wes to be your server. I am so happy this place was recommended to me. Don’t miss out on one of Chicago’s very best dining spots.
Our party of 4 was seated in the covered outdoor area, as it was packed in the dining room.. they're doing well!
We all had burgers, 2 classic 2 venison, and they were fantastic!! Fries were very nicely cooked, crunchy.
Excellent food and good service. Will return for burgers.
Highly recommended
We walked in off the street while on a one-day trip to Chicago to celebrate our Anniversary. Had no idea we were going to be treated to such a great meal, service, and atmosphere. Friendly staff that know how to read a table. The staff exuded pride in the establishment and their work.
The building is stunning and the decor is rich and warm. The heated patio was perfect for brunch. Location is absolutely prime!
I ordered medium-rare steak with my brunch which did come out a bit too medium for my preference. I do not mention this as a complaint... more of a tip for you rare steak lovers out there! It remained tender and juicy and I enjoyed it despite the temperature.
We recommend the Duck Poutine. 👌 👍 Fantastic coffee.
Elevated pub food and lively atmosphere. I really enjoyed the bison tartare but the bread it came with was a bit too heavy for my likes. The curry was super tasty although had a disproportionate amount of potatoes compared to other veggies. The prawns were super fresh and well cooked. The rice was a bit bland. Service was attentive and very quick.
Great menu! Really enjoyed the salad and the burger. Wine and cocktail options are also quite good. The cauliflower steak deserves a special shout out… my wife loves it and it is so good!
I love their Duck Poutine and Creme Brulee. Cocktails too; I ordered a 75 Tokyo. Actually, I love everything about the Gage down to the smallest detail. They definitely deserve that Michelin star.
My waitress was Crystal. She's a sweet and easygoing lady. I hope she serves me again next time I go!
Always a pleasure. Great service. Outstanding fish and Wedge salad. Burgers are always delicious. Much enjoy the Hefeweizen and proper Guinness
Ivan was our server and host. He did a great job communicating the food items and service was spot on!
My wife has a salt issue and cannot have cannot have much salt as it is a medical issue. It's always a challenge to find a restaurant who can accommodate her. The restaurant was fully packed Saturday night during taste of Chicago. You could tell they were struggling as they probably didn't plan on having a full house as they did.
Lisa's fish came out with salt accidentally. Michael didn't hesitate to make things right and really impressed us. It was our first time here we will definitely come back.
It is a beautiful cozy restaurant with amazing food and specialty drinks.
Thanks Michael and Ivan!
Went by myself for a quick mimosa before going to the Art Institute. Place was PACKED. Sat at the bar. Bartenders were very nice. Received a menu and drink in 2-3 minutes! Check back often. Really solicitous. Had amazing fried pickles. Made with a crunchy tempura batter and a spicy mayo dip. SO yummy. Portion large enough to share. I’d definitely go back!
Normally one of our first restaurant trips when we visit Chicago. The Gage never disappoints.
It's always nice to see the same staff on our visits.
We had lunch at the bar. Both of us had the always reliable and delicious bowl of Chicken Orzo soup.
The wines by the glass selection is very extensive and has some great wines on it.
Can't wait to come back to The Gage.
It was a nice stop with no plan for lunch. Good food and service. good vibe as well. the patio is available as well. it’s located opposite with millennium park. Variety menu and drinks. I tried a cash of the day, was great choice.
