Stopped in for brunch. The service was great and food was excellent- ordered a Scottish egg and it was perfect. It seems like the menu changes based on season, so I cant wait to come back and try something different.

Dressed up for date night with my wife and headed to this spot. It is a beautiful place! Very modern and warm! We had the Scotch Egg for an app and while I was tentative, it was delicious! We had drinks off the Pride menu which were yummy but we tried the habanero margarita and it was NASTY. My burger was not good either, I asked for mustard and it never came. The fries were great though! While the atmosphere was on point, the food and drinks overall were not.

So good to be back! First time back and did not disappoint! Best apps were prawn cocktail and of course their signature scotch egg (not to be missed!). Drinks were excellent (even had a Madeira list!). Server was attentive. Had a wonderful date night on their patio. Inside the restaurant is beautiful as well. Always a great spot; especially after a trip to the Art Institute

My husband and I are coming up on our one year wedding anniversary and our dinner was in the Theodore Ascher room and bar. Our families are still talking about how delicious their dinner and the blueberry cheesecake! From our first visit at The Gage we were greeted by friendly staff, had all of our questions answered, and felt very comfortable with having our most important day at The Gage. The cherry on top is that we got to meet Billy that day as well. Sheena was our contact throughout the planning process and day of. She is amazing! everything was beyond taken care of coming up to and day of our wedding dinner thanks to her and her staff. It was the most perfect day for us thanks to The Gage.
Since our wedding we have visited The Gage throughout the entire year and have tried the changing menu. Every time we are so happy with the recommendations given by the staff. Fadi was the bartender at our wedding and we have had him on numerous occasions when visiting. He makes fantastic drinks and has a great sense of humor. Again our families cannot say enough things about him from our wedding.
Overall The Gage has the most perfect Chicago charm to it. Besides being at an amazing location the food is beyond belief superb. Just visit..you’ll fall in love

We came here around lunchtime and it was great. Wonderful cocktails and the chicken Vesuvio was amazing! My husband got the adult grilled cheese and he liked it - a super minor thing is that the menu didn’t mention arugula in the sandwich which he doesn’t like, and it was kinda tough to remove. We loved it though and would for sure come back!

Went here for a work dinner and really enjoyed it!! The food was delicious and the servers were all very friendly.
Our group definitely ordered too much, but we enjoyed every bite anyway. I'd recommend the mussels, the poutine, and the creme brulee. They had scallops as their special and I adored them. All in all, the menu was pretty standard but everything was top notch.
The restaurant has very dim lighting which definitely set the mood but did make reading the menu difficult from time to time. There were restrooms on the basement level reachable by stairs, but I'm unsure if there was an elevator or anything more accessible for that level.

Had an awesome night at this place. Was actually looking for another restaurant for dinner and stumbled upon it. Our waiter was amazing, the mussels bowl was wow! My pork shank was melt in your mouth fall off the bone. My partner had the Mac n cheese and bison burger which he said was amazing and very well prepared. The ambiance was great, one could have a good conversation without the music being overbearing. It was more of a ‘mature’ adults vibe which I enjoyed as compared to most restaurants where the ‘millennials’ frequent and make it less interesting. It is a bit on the pricey side I’d say with our bill crossing +100 but hey, how often does one do date night ????. Was a good day out overall, I’d come again.

We came here after a long walk in Michigan Ave, for the hope if we can get seated. We were starving so badly that we had to stop by some restaurant for check their availability.
Anyway, we get seated by the bar (it was first come fist serve). They had delicious burgers and Cauliflower fries.
We enjoyed our drink and time in there .
It was crowded and it carried out a great vibe

Our outstanding waitperson, Kim, recommended the mussels appetizer. She said it was enough for an entree, and she was right. The mussels were medium in size, sweet and super fresh. The saffron-based broth was seasoned perfectly. Kim also recommended the watermelon gazpacho to my friend. I'm not normally a fan of cold soup, but I had a taste, and it was delicious. Her wedge salad looked good, too.
What's a meal without a dessert? At The Gage, they are huge (like Gibson's). We ordered the peach cobbler for two, and it would have easily served four. Freshly baked, served with a mound of premium vanilla ice cream and cajeta caramel sauce. This is one of the best desserts I've ever had (and I've had a lot of them).

The Gage Old Fashion- it pretty much tastes like an elevated old fashion. One notch up.
Steak Frites- Good flavor. Cooked to perfection. Worth the visit. Net time, I would love to try another plate
Starlight Private Collection- Had to try it. Good flavor profile.
The dessert is a must have.
