    I’ve been here a ton and the food has always been consistent. This last time, the food was just off.

    As a longtime fan of the Gage I was, for the first time ever, disappointed in my meal. The salad, wine choices and dessert were outstanding but my expensive halibut was mushy instead of the a-bit-steaky fish I like. My fault for not saying something to the waiter.

    We really enjoyed the atmosphere here but the food was not that great. We ordered steak au poivre and the sauce was not very good at all. The steak was prepared as requested - rare - but the sauce had no taste at all. Our server was excellent but for the price the food should have been better.

    Thank you to David for taking such good care of us! Food was great but we appreciated the attention to detail from David and making sure we had a lovely meal within a short timeframe. Will be returning during my next trip to Chicago!
