  “The atmosphere is great, it’s the type of place you’d want to dress nice for. Service was good was good as well. Purely giving this place 4 stars instead of 5, because for the price, you’d expect the food to be a tad better. Don’t get me …”

  “Food was just okay. Everything had something wrong with it. Scotch egg was soft boiled, gravy poured on my chicken was ice cold, the Baileys brownie was more Baileys than anything etc. Everything was mediocre or missed the mark. Our server …”

  “Top shelf experience. Our server Avery did a super job with explaining everything. I would highly recommend the Cheeseburger Royale! Done to perfection and cooked the way I ordered. Caesar salad again excellent. Lots of staff attending to everyone.”

  “The Gage has for years been my favorite restaurant in Chicago. I find myself here every time I'm in town, just as I found myself here every few weeks when I lived in Chicago fifteen years ago. It was excellent then, and thankfully, nothing has changed. The Gage delivers in every respect, from the outstanding food at all times of the day to the stellar drink menu full of creative and classic selections; from the atmosphere--which between bar and multiple dining spaces always offers the vibe you're looking for--to the amazing staff. Special shout-out to Olivia, a friendly and skilled server, whose wealth of local knowledge is a secret weapon for the restaurant. She will set you up with the perfect next-stop spot for cocktails or night-life -- that is if you're even able to tear yourself away from another drink at the Gage. This is a Chicago institution in my book, and it never disappoints.”

  “We went for Restaurant Week late lunch. The food was very good while service was great. We had a nice booth and found it very conversational friendly. Next time we will explore more of menu and try bar seating as well as Happy Hour.”

  “We ate outside in the covered area near the street. End of January and plenty of snow on the ground. Still warm while eating and drinking :) The food was good, not great. Seemed like elevated pub fare for some of the plates Drinks were made well and the wine was delicious with plenty of options. Definitely will be back to try different food options”

  “This was an excellent experience. I was seated promptly at a nice quiet table near the back. They didn't mind I needed time to get my coat off and settled. I had the Buffalo Check, it was a really nice spirit forward drink. The special was a halibut with a beurre blanc caper sauce, broccoli and potato pave. It was amazing, I cleaned the plate! Glass of white wine paired very well. For dessert I tried the sticky coffee pudding. Sauce was perfect. Carmel ice cream amazing. The pudding was a tiny bit too dry. The cream sherry pairing was perfect. I will certainly come here again.”

  “The food was excellent and the service was welcoming and great! My boyfriend and I went for a dinner date and our favorites were the house country bread w/ brie and fig jam, prime filet mignon, and poutine! After that, I devoured the apple galette with caramel ice cream (an absolute must try)! I’m already looking forward to trying the burrata toast and scallops on my next visit. Thank you, Billy and the entire staff, for an incredible experience!”
