    As always at The Gage, our delicious lunch was served in a pleasant atmosphere by a highly capable waitstaff. The bright yellow forsythia in front that greeted us made us believe that spring is just around the corner!

    A friend and I were celebrating; Fallon ensured we were well taken care of. This was a spectacular experience and I would absolutely recommend this restaurant. Please ask for David, he’s so kind and accommodating. I’m looking forward to brunching again very soon!! Thank you all.

    The restaurant is very appealing, although the tables are very close. Our waiter was great, and the food was very good. We were there for brunch. My only complaint was that I ordered a cup of coffee, which was the best coffee I've ever had. When I requested a second cup, our waiter poured from a pot, and that coffee was like the dregs from the leftover coffee. I would have requested and paid for another cup from the barista, but I wasn't informed of that need. This wasn't a big deal, I would still recommend The Gage, but it is not cheap, and so be aware of the second cup of coffee.
