We asked for a quiet table, and received one in the back room with a window to the kitchen--perfect. Excellent waiter, with great recommendations and service. We ordered too much, so couldn't come close to finishing it all. Breaded pickles with siracha aioli were outstanding, wedge salad very good (tho dressing was sparse), Gage burger was good, chicken biriyani was very flavorful but too much. Next time we'll split just one entree.

Really fun atmosphere & approachable, yet sophisticated environment. Well rounded efficient menu offerings with something for almost everyone. The beers exceeded expectations, and the draft lines were perfectly dialed in. This spot is very much needed in the loop. We will be back.
