    You just cannot go wrong at The Gage. It is our go to Chicago celebration spot. We were there for our anniversary and thought we might try a new restaurant and after looking around a bit we just kept coming back to how much we love The Gage and it just has such a place in our life for celebrations. Tried "The Professional Martini" and the Sazerac and both were perfection. We always love the oysters as a start and truly love everything we have ever gotten there. Anthony, our server last night was so friendly, professional and just gave us the most personalized special service and made us feel like regulars.

    This is the third time I’ve been here. Service is excellent! Food is delicious! We had the fish and chips and the lobster roll. Both were so good. Always a great experience!

    We’ve been coming to the Gage for years after the symphony jazz concerts. The last few times have been disappointed. The service is always good however the food which we always expected to be great has taken a down turn. We were there last night and your menu totally changed. To us the gage was a place for original different pub style food that was always great. I don’t understand your new menu. You removed the venison burger which was always amazing, and removed your new addition from last month the coq coq vin and left the shepards pie for a spring menu? I’m surprised and so disappointed. You left a few staples like your fish and chips and curry but now your menu is rather uneventful and lacks the creativity I always expected from the gage. Not sure what direction you are now taking however if this is your new menu we have enjoyed you for years but now need to find another place to dine

    Anna was our server and the best! Thank you, Ahna! The halibut was fantastic and my husband got the mushroom bolognese which was also fantastic. We come to Chicago a few times a year and always come to the Gage. Excellent food, service, drinks and ambiance!
