The Gage takes its name from the Gage Group buildings at 18-24 South Michigan Avenue, constructed in the late 1800s and now historically landmarked. The site once housed milliners, including Gage Brothers & Co., and a staircase installation leading to the lower level still displays original early 20th-century advertisements for the company's hats.
The kitchen serves refined, rustic fare — a scotch egg, fried pickles, venison burger, lobster roll, and beet salad are among the dishes regulars mention — alongside an extensive libations program.
The address puts it across from Millennium Park and the Art Institute, making it a regular stop for both visitors and locals on Michigan Avenue.
Michelin has selected The Gage for its Chicago guide in 2019, 2021, and 2024.
