The Gage

The venison burger is a must try here. By far one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. At first I was worried about the gaminess but the burger was literally cooked to perfection.

Ivan was our server and host. He did a great job communicating the food items and service was spot on! My wife has a salt issue and cannot have cannot have much salt as it is a medical issue. It's always a challenge to find a restaurant who can accommodate her. The restaurant was fully packed Saturday night during taste of Chicago. You could tell they were struggling as they probably didn't plan on having a full house as they did. Lisa's fish came out with salt accidentally. Michael didn't hesitate to make things right and really impressed us. It was our first time here we will definitely come back. It is a beautiful cozy restaurant with amazing food and specialty drinks. Thanks Michael and Ivan!

Went by myself for a quick mimosa before going to the Art Institute. Place was PACKED. Sat at the bar. Bartenders were very nice. Received a menu and drink in 2-3 minutes! Check back often. Really solicitous. Had amazing fried pickles. Made with a crunchy tempura batter and a spicy mayo dip. SO yummy. Portion large enough to share. I’d definitely go back!
