    Great to hear live music. Paul Marinaro quartet were amazing. Service very good and food and wine good enough. We will be back ! Glad there is a podium ask to keep voices down but some could have used a reminder during the set

    My husband and I had a delightful pre concert dinner (5:30) at a perfect pace. The Scotch egg was far better than any I have had in the UK. Perhaps there was too much béarnais on the lobster, but it was good béarnais and perfectly cooked lobster. Hubby’s coq au vin was excellent- rich and succulent. Service was quick and efficient. It’s a huge place and I wasn’t anticipating much, but the Gage far exceeded my expectations.

    Came here for a Valentine’s day dinner. Server was outstanding with information about the menu and the way dishes are meant to be shared. Food was phenomenal. We had the green beans, hamachi poke, grilled pig face and skirt steak. We also split a maple miso budino and a glass of port for dessert. By far the most delicious meal I’ve had in years. Setting was so cosy and casual while being chic and fun.
