    Wonderful service and delightful selection of cocktails and local craft beers. The appetizers and mains were all delicious especially the burrata spring pea tartine, fried pickles, chicken fried lobster, grilled asparagus and the Gage burger!

    My mother and I came here for a pre graduation celebration. We ordered the Cesar salad, fish n’ chips and the curry. Our food was delicious but it took over an hour to get. Our waitress checked on other tables but we constantly had to get her attention to receive care. I don’t think I will be returning.

    The Gage is no longer outstanding. The food was great, as one would expect. They sat us in a booth, which is normally cozy, but in this case was terrible. I’m the most petite frame of anyone I know and I felt crammed in - my normal sized adult friends were uncomfortable. When we sat down, they turned on a small LED lamp that was too bright and designed like it should be on a bookkeeper’s desk or library table. Poor ambiance. Finally, the servers were passing by with such focus to watch for us to finish so they could clear the table, it felt rushed. It doesn’t provide the experience expected for the price.

    EVERYTHING was amazing! The fussiloni was to die for. My grilled shrimp on the side was the best grilled shrimp I've ever had. The fried pickles and curry chips as appetizers were unbelievable. Ambience is great, packed restaurant on a Sunday too. Our waiter was absolutely the best!
