He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and gave us fabulous recommendations. Jose made me my first spicy margarita and it was delicious, then for my second he added strawberry to it and it was just as good!! My mom was between two wines, and Gustavo recommended the Pinot Noir and she absolutely loved it!! We ordered the Brussel sprouts and burrata toast after Gustavo's description and it was everything we could have asked for and more!! For our first time in Chicago, we are so happy we stopped at the Gage and that we had such great service from Gustavo and Jose! They made the experience 10/10, as if the atmosphere, food and drinks weren't already a 10!! Next time I visit Chicago I will 1000% be stopping at the Gage to hopefully get a bar seat in Gustavo and Jose's section!!

Everything was well prepared, but the fried chicken was the standout, especially with the hot sauce adding another level of flavor. The staff stayed attentive throughout dinner and even replaced our plates between rounds, which was a level of service I wasn't expecting. I also respected seeing the owner personally making the rounds, stopping at every table to check on the guests and the food. Calm atmosphere, solid hospitality, and a kitchen that delivers.

Luis has taken care of my table a few times and he's fantastic! He provides excellent service. I love the brownie. Bertha's brownie is a must try. Bertha Palmer actually invented the brownie in the late 19th century and they keep her signature recipe. It's so delicious!! Made with lots of butter. The cherry sauce with it is so good too. The drinks are delicious! During the holiday season, I enjoyed the Meet Me At Midnight, Cheer Spritz (mocktail), and the Vanilla Chai White Russian. All were amazing but wow, the chai White Russian was so good and beautifully presented. I love meeting friends for drinks here. On the regular menu, some of my favorites are Island Time, if you like rum, and Hot Pants if you like tequila.

We came for one reason--the famous Bertha's Brownie--and it definitely lived up to the hype. Rich, creamy, and wonderfully decadent, it's a must-try for any chocolate lover.

The elegant architecture and historic charm make the experience feel extra special.

I started with the Figget About It cocktail, which was delicious and dangerously easy to drink. Definitely my favorite part of the meal. For my entree, I ordered the braised short rib. While the flavor was decent, the meat ended up being a bit dry. Service was smooth overall, and both the drinks and food came out at a good pace. The food may have been a little hit or miss for me, but the atmosphere makes it a solid option if you're looking for a casual place to gather with a larger group.

We started off with the bone marrow; it was incredibly flavorful, paired nicely with a nut jam and some greens and bread. We also got the Agnolotti pasta, and this was our favorite bite of the evening by far. The beef short rib, paired with more marrow and the butter sauce were absolutely incredible and we will be thinking about them for a long time to come. We ended with the pork tenderloin and it was a lovely ending dish. The pork was cooked to perfection and paired with sautéed oyster mushrooms and corn. Service was exceptional and quick!

I would highly recommend reccomend the tropic like it's hot and sun boy cocktails. Both full of flavor and make sure to try the chickpea fritters and splurge on the pork shank. Well worth it and portion was perfect to share. The only negative comment I have to mention being interrupted 3 separate times by children trying to sell flowers at our table.

We got there around 8am on 06/18/26 and the place was kind of empty. We stood for awhile waiting to be seated. Finally a lady said she would take us to a table but that they were all dirty. We kind of looked at each other puzzled. She kept mentioning that they were dirty and weren't cleaned yet but seated us at a high top that hadn't been cleaned and tried to clean it herself. We wanted a window seat so we accepted it. It seemed fine after she cleaned it. It was just a strange way to bring us into the restaurant before the tables were cleaned. We could have stood by the door and waited some more. But the service and food were very good! Our server was Jose, who was excellent while checking on us several times to make sure everything was good. The vanilla latte that he recommended was delicious! I ordered the 3 Egg Ham 'n Cheese Omelet with mushrooms and my daughter had the Eggs Benedict. Both were cooked perfectly and seasoned correctly. Yummy! For dessert, we shared the delicious Cinnamon Roll Waffle, made perfectly, of course. We were surprised when we received our check, which was $92 for breakfast plus 20% tip. Anywhere else It would be around $65 but we were here on vacation. We were in Chicago for another 5 days but we did not come back here. There were many other breakfast places on the Riverfront that were equally good and much less expensive. My rating was 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars.
