    We stopped by Gage after arriving in Chicago on a Saturday evening. ‘didn’t have reservations, but there was no wait. There were plenty of good options on the menu even though it was not extensive (which I prefer since it speeds up the selection process by my significant other). Everything was prepared nicely, the service was great, and the fresh homemade pasta was quite delicious!

    If you're a fan of fish and chips, this is the No.1 place in Chicago to order this...a hit from the day The Gage opened. There are lots of other delicious menu items, but this one is a personal favorite. This restaurant can be noisy, but my daughter and I were seated at a corner table in one of the small rooms and it was easy to carry on a conversation during our delicious meal. The service is at all times friendly and attentive, and its location is very convenient for Orchestra Hall and the Chicago Art Institute.
