    Haven’t been here for some time because it’s always so loud. We tried again and the food was fantastic, loved our server and the atmosphere was really nice and it wasn’t too loud. Will be back!

    Gage has been a go to restaurant for us for many years. This visit was after a midday theater presentation and we were at the restaurant at 4:00 PM early for dinner, quiet and wonderful service. Never fails at the Gage.

    We got a lovely table near the fireplace in a rather quiet room. Service was a bit slow in the beginning, but our waiter was very kind and attentive. It was a lovely lunch. Very nice decorating.

    The food, service, and ambiance were exceptional. We were told the burger was one of the best in Chicago and I can’t imagine anywhere else coming close to it. It was fantastic, and the fried pickles were great too!
