TsvetaMay 12, 2017Everything is so delicious! If I have to pick two - the venison burger and smoked mushroom soup of the day.
Michelin Travel & LifestyleMarch 3, 2013Clubby leather booths and celadon-tiled columns add decorum to this large, bustling space serving British and international pub grub. – Green Guide Editor
Steve FarrJuly 27, 2021The food and atmosphere was good. Had the burger, which was tasty, not as fantastic as I had heard, but it was fine! 😎
Jason NewbergJuly 15, 2015One of the best wagyu ribeye I've ever had. Apparently I was raving about the mint ice cream as well...
Aimee AimeeNovember 28, 2012Sunday brunch here was good until they took french toast off the menu. One day we saw Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohan who play Glenn and Maggie on The Walking Dead eating at an outside table.
Nelson V. GuevaraSeptember 22, 2018Venison burger is great. Ought to try it! Juicy, flavorful, mild game taste. Great burger!!
Michael CDecember 12, 2015Cocktails, wine and craft beer ... The California Burratta was delicious and the short rib squash soup was inspired.
The Gage Old Fashioned is awesome (if unorthodox.) And the elk poutine is amazing. As is the escargot risotto. And the regular burger. And the benedict and grits at brunch...I have a problem.
Joseph BradleyAugust 8, 2014The green bean app. I can't tell you how good it really is. The perfect balance of bacon and lemon.
Caryn ThorSeptember 28, 2013Really delicious bloody Mary's and their smoked salmon bagel platter was probably the best I have had. Come for brunch.
Everything is delicious and fresh, everything can be modified for Special requests! My favorite!
mark silvaAugust 24, 2011Good beer selection. If Olivia's on tap you must try. Funky Saison that will great w/gastropub Faire.
Kevin DulinJanuary 5, 2022The poutine was fantastic. The striped bass was battered which was disappointing. It’s a bit dark inside.
Adam ChestertonJuly 11, 2013Was in for lunch and tried the Scotch Egg as an appetizer - was great and really authentic, a must try!
The poutine is decadent. They also serve an incredible cheese plate, it's listed on the dessert menu and can be ordered as an appetizer or with drinks.- Neal JainApril 15, 2017And the fish and chips are really crispy and stay crispy even with a lot of malt vinegar.
Rossella ZiniAugust 26, 2012Excellent place for gourmet burgers lovers, excellent service and attention, very wide selection of draft beers, loved it
MaegsJune 27, 2014Get a bunch of pub items and starters to share. My friend and I shared 6 small plates and had plenty leftover.
- Egor HomakovJune 20, 2014Had a burger, scotch egg and some cider. I'm completely satisfied. Lovely view from outside tables btw.
Alex RaduMarch 22, 2014The venison burger definitely lives up to the hype. Get it rare and you won't regret it!
Yellowtail Ceviche (avocado, cucumber, serrano aguachile, bunuelo crisp)
Therese Necio-OrtegaFebruary 22, 2010It is restaurant week in Chicago and The Gage has some delectable offerings that are truly scrumptious. Try the Poutine, the Spick Black Bean Soup and their Chicken. Don't forget the gourmet donout ho
Chicago TribuneMarch 24, 2015A bustling American brasserie on Michigan Avenue, The Gage is a fine place for a quick bite or more substantial fare. Read more- Summer Berry Plate (local summer fruits & berries, strawberry chantilly, crystalizedalmonds)
- Port Wine Sangaree (fortified wine, lemon, orange, rosemary, bay, nutmeg)
Cate C.December 3, 2010Had a great chicken salad (with curry!) and the butternut squash soup was divine. Also would highly recommend the Irish Apple Cider, it'll warm you right up!
Better than your avg irish bar food. Corn beef and cabbage, Scotch eggs, reuben. Also great soups and cheese plates.
Joseph B.August 26, 2014Really unique menu options based around American wild game. Good craft beer list too.
Lyz HMay 20, 2013The rare Venison burger was fantastic, so was the regular burger, the fish and chips, and the poutine as well. By far the best restaurant we went to while in Chicago! It's a must when visiting.
Nada AlshamiAugust 20, 2017The corned beef hash and the vension burger are to die for... Couldn't stop eating!
Rob RawlinsonMarch 24, 2017V. disappointing venison burger. Ate 1/4 before not being able to continue. Over cooked (Not medium-rare) and simply poor quality meat. Taste like Walmart value mince. a lovely atmosphere and bar!
Veg WiseJune 5, 2017Lively loud bar close to everything with cocktail specials in honor of u2 (this week)!
Igor BaltiyskiyOctober 9, 2013Nice Loop views, market fish comes with delicious crab risotto, but is not large as they may tell
If you like gin and want to try a different drink (which originated in 1916) ask for an "Aviation"
Marco HowellMarch 22, 2012The lake superior trout is perfect. Also try the fennel soup and take advantage of the Chef Week special.- Katie PritscherJanuary 12, 2017Everything is good here!!! The menu, the food, the service, and the atmosphere!!!
Laura MaceiraOctober 30, 2014The gage burher for dinner is amazing! The service is great! Nice spot :)
Go for the soup of the day. Guaranteed to be good every time. Stay for the mussels.
Tim NachbauerAugust 6, 2012Order the guajillo chicken you won't regret it. Best chicken sand in Chicago but its slightly spicy
Leonardo OtavianoApril 2, 2013Great service, excellent food and reasonable prices. Best food I've had in Chicago so far.
Jared HatchFebruary 4, 2011If you're having #SundayFunDay with luxury beer - the scotch egg, duck fat nuts, fried chicken livers, and elk ragout poutine are great greasy options.
Bo-Ram KimAugust 12, 2013Woodland mushroom sandwich is a must! Good enough to make a temporary vegetarian out of anyone
Alyssa NeyMarch 2, 2014Everything is good here. Especially recommend the venison burger. Great beer list
