The Gage

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

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.

astounding scotch egg — finally found one i can recommend. the chicken kiev is to die for good (doesn’t squirt with butter but still sensational). drinks were all lovely and staff were all fantastic, from the hosts to the servers to the bartenders — everyone going above and beyond. the lamb was falling off the bone. the salad was layered. i would absolutely recommend this place !!

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.

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.

Great place to eat and drink downtown! A lively gastropub even on weeknights, with live music and local beer & craft cocktails served by friendly, energetic bartenders. A sprawling bar and cocktail area, with an enclosed patio overlooking Millennial Park. I had a wonderful experience having dinner and drinks at the bar, and experienced hands-down the best Scotch egg I've ever had!!

We had a great dinner at The Gage during restaurant week. We were visiting Chicago and this was our first stop. Our waitress Grace was friendly and attentive. Every dish was delicious, we will for sure be back. Great wine as well and Grace was very helpful in selecting that. We also loved the whole ambiance of the restaurant including great music!

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
