Overall this place is magnificent but they didn’t give us a al’acard menu. They offered 3 course choices menu. And although I specified our anniversary I supposed they wiould give us a nice table. We sat in the last row seating. I was a little disappointed.

The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was amazing. This restaurant clearly pays attention to detail—the lighting shifted at just the right moments, and the playlist of nostalgic hits perfectly set the mood, making our experience at Gage & Tollner truly unforgettable. This is officially our go-to spot whenever my fiancé and I go out in town.
