    The Gage is a lively and fun place to have dinner. The service was very good as was the food. We went before an event at Symphony Center. The show was at 8 and we arrived at 6:15. We needed every bit of the hour and 45 minutes - not because of slow service, but because we were really enjoying our time at The Gage.

    I was really surprised at this visit. The gage is consistently great but today was a little different. The food was excellent as always But I ordered steak frit and my guest, a vegetarian, ordered a pasta dish. The waiter brought two steaks. When told of the error he took one back and left the other to get cold. After realizing that I was not going to eat until my guest had food he brought her a salad so we could start together. Then he brought the pasta. We ordered desert and he brought them and a crem brule ton the house o further make up for the mistake in the food order, This was too much food. If he was going to give us a desert he should have said it and we would not have ordered two. Again, we love this place and the food was great Just a lot of food and waiting.

    We celebrated our son’s graduation with a lunch at the Gage. Great service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was charming. Highly recommend this spot for a celebratory meal.
