    The Gage is a solid choice for a well prepared meal in Chicago’s Loop neighborhood, despite its location in a high tourist area. Nice bar and sidewalk dining space, too.

    The Gage seems to be a traditional dinner stop for Chicago Symphony attendees, as were we. We split the beef Bourguignon, the bosk pear salad, and brussels sprouts tartine, all of which were delicious. (We've reached the age where splitting entrees is a good idea for us!) We finished with the crème brûlée, which had gooseberries! (I loved it/them, my wife, somewhat less.) The service was super, and the bill was, well, what one would expect in downtown Chicago right on Michigan Ave.

    Wonderful place where high-quality service, food and drink are a standard. Our favorite refuge in city, a truly unique experience in the vastness of Chicago. The Gage never disappoints no matter how many times we visit.
