Downtown / Loop Restaurants

We always love The Gage and I forgot how lovely their brunch service is! Ask for a cozy spot by the fire, have an Irish coffee and tuck into some fish and chips. Heavenly.

We dined here on a Friday night prior to seeing a show at a nearby theatre with our tween/teen children. Everyone loved this place! The service was attentive and friendly, food recommendations were good, and the food was excellent. The prices are a bit high for the portion sizes, but it is in a busy area of the city so would be difficult to find the same quality for less. Would definitely return here again, and recommend this establishment to others!

We brought our two grandsons (ages 5 and 3) to the Walnut Room in Chicago on 1/3/2025, to experience the holiday decor. The "fairies" circulating around to each table were so engaging while chatting with our grandsons, and explaining how to "make a wish". Our server was very friendly and efficient, even under the pressure of a very busy day at the restaurant. The food was very good, and I was pleasantly surprised to see kids menu items available, which our grandsons thoroughly enjoyed. Two small glitches. . 1. Upon arrival, there were soiled napkins/food items on the floor next to one of the chairs at our table. I was disappointed at that mess. One of the "fairies" noticed this mess and got the staff to clean it up and 2. Our cocktails were served AFTER our food arrived. Despite these two small glitches, we had a wonderful time together, and on the way home, our 5 year old grandson told us he had the BEST DAY ever.

Delicious food and cocktails, wonderful ambience., and speedy service. Dined here before a show at the Cadillac Theatre. I also noticed that they have beautiful rooms upstairs for private dining

Lovely ambiance; great service and delicious food. And a Olive Oil Cake to die for!
