Try the duck sausage sandwich.
I love the patio seating here - it's perfect for people watching on Michigan Avenue and if the day isn't too hot I highly recommend sitting outdoors. There aren't too many tables, but there are nice
umbrellas to block the sun.
Service here is really nice and professional and my duck sausage sandwich was quite impressive. I had never tried duck sausage before, and it was like nothing I had tasted before. They actually make the sausage in house and the pickle and giardiniera are a perfect garnish for the savory sausage. The French bread was a little dry, but the chewy texture went really well with the sausage. This is a great simple lunch option that still feels very gourmet.…
Great for After Work. I keep recommending it and will still because the owner is so nice, the space is great and the food is really good when it is "on".
Food Should be Better. My Husband and I really, really wanted to like The Gage. It is within walking distance to our fabulous condo, it had been highly recommended by several people and we were looking for a new restaurant to add to our nightly eating-out repertoire. Unfortunately it was not to be. The bar pours a short drink. We both had vodka on the rocks for $12 each and the glass had so much ice in it you could barely get to the vodka. My husband ordered the Elk and I had the much acclaimed Fish and Chips and we were both very disappointed with the food. The wine choices by the glass were lousy (hate to use that word). We loved the ambiance, our service was mediocre but the owner and the matre' d could not have been friendlier and really wanted us to be happy. As I said, we really wanted to like The Gage.…
Amazing atmosphere and food!!. I have been to the restaurant on numerous occasions, and have had great experiences!! The decor and overall atmosphere couldn't be better. My favorites have included the rabbit salad, the scallops, the "Gage" burger and the fish and chips. The menu is much more interesting than most Chicago restaurants! I have typically ordered the appetizers off the special list, and they have been great! I know reviews elsewhere have commented on the mussels, but these were mediocre in my opinion. Oh yes, and if you enjoy oatmeal, WOW, the Creme brulee oatmeal is YUMMY!!! Our service has been great on most occasions, at times a little slow! I would highly recommend this restaurant! The noise level can be high, but it makes for a fun place!…
May have to go to England to find better fish and chips.... Can't believe I am so excited about Fish and Chips. We (my wife and two daughters) all had the fish and chips and we were literally stunned how much we loved them...make that devoured them. Salads and fried zucchini were almost as sensational as the entree. Service was friendly and attentive. We did arrive a bit early for dinner; the restaurant seemed to get a bit chaotic as it ramped up for the dinner rush.…
