“ This is a really great restaurant located right in the heart of Chicago. One of the things I appreciate most is the menu – it’s limited in size, which makes it easy to choose without feeling overwhelmed, yet every dish offered feels carefully curated and unique. Even though the menu isn’t huge, the selections are creative and interesting, with plenty of options that stand out from the typical fare you find elsewhere. The food itself is excellent – every dish is packed with flavor and clearly made with attention to detail. You can tell the chefs put thought into balancing the ingredients, and it makes for a memorable dining experience. The service is another highlight. The staff is attentive and quick, so you never feel like you’re waiting too long. There’s also plenty of seating, which makes it comfortable whether you’re visiting for a casual meal or with a group of friends. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting – laid-back enough to enjoy a slow meal, but still stylish and modern. It’s the kind of place where you can sit back, unwind, and enjoy good food without any rush. Overall, this restaurant is absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Chicago. It combines great food, fast service, and a welcoming vibe, making it a spot you’ll want to come back to. ”

“ I came here after visiting Navy Pier and the other Chicago lakefront parks. The hostess was welcoming but there wasn't any outside dining available. There were open seats when we arrived, but they must have been reserved. The food was great, my daughters and I enjoyed everything that came to our table. Service was a bit spotty. There was also a tall, middle aged blond man that did nothing but stand in the dining area, staring, and taking notes. He added a weird vibe to the restaurant. The Gage is inviting but very dark inside. This restaurant seemed overstaffed, more employees than customers. Burgers, steak, salads, seafood, and a great bar with a bunch of unique drink and cocktail recipes. The wait staff was cautious and thorough when asking about food allergies. This restaurant deep fries a lot of lobsters, so the other fried foods have a risk of cross contamination. They do a great job of asking customers about their allergies. ”

“ Very nice place for diner. Good looking patrons, peaceful and everyone looks Happy. We share the steak and an appetizer had a drink each. on the sheep side bad very pleasant place to catch up with an old friend or for a date. Cozy, warm, great light. Make reservations in advance ”

“ I had dinner at The Gage and really enjoyed the creative twist on classic American dishes, especially the bison tartare which was delicious and well-prepared. The drinks were great too, but the prices felt a little high for the portion sizes. The atmosphere was lively and stylish, though it got pretty loud at peak hours ”

“ First time here and had lunch. Loved the scotch egg. I never had one with a soft yolk and it was delicious. I can never pass up fried pickles, the coating was light and crisp with a nice dipping sauce. My entree was the blackened fish sandwich and the blackened seasoning really shines. Sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and attentive. Would definitely recommend! ”
