    We were seated right away. The poutine was amazing. My son’s steak was cooked exactly how he likes. The flourless chocolate cake infused with orange was decadent and a hearty portion to boot. The staff was attentive yet not intrusive. The atmosphere was cozy on a frigid winter evening. I will definitely dine there again.

    We ate at The Gage after seeing the CSO Christmas show. We walked 1.5 blocks from the show. The food was great. We had the fried pickles as an appetizer. They were excellent. I had the fish and chips. The batter was light. The fish was flaky and tasted great. Had a Guinness which was poured to perfection. We had a great time 👍🏻👍🏻

    Our party of 5 had an amazing brunch! Everything from avacado toast to chicken sandwiches to burgers was delicious. And don’t skip the punch bowl if you have a big group. Service and environment were top notch. It definitely made for a memorable meal before the show.

    Nice place and atmosphere but extremely overpriced priced given the quality of the food. Just not worth the prices. Go one block in to millers pub and avoid this place.

    We walked in and were immediately asked if we could be filmed for an upcoming channel 11 show called Chicago stories! We absolutely participated and then our delicious meal was on the house! Lol Great night to say the least!
