    David made the experience incredible for our family. The Gage has been one of our favorite holiday visits for almost 17 years and today was the best because of the great atmosphere and David’s hospitality!

    Due the show we were seeing running later than expected, we had to change our reservation twice, and the staff was very understanding and considerate and held our table for us. The food was exceptional and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We will be going to The Gage again!

    The menu selection and variety tremendous. Best lobster roll and wedge salad I’ve ever had, beautifully prepared and the chef did not cut back on the serving size to cut corners unlike most restaurants. Well with the price which is not inexpensive. Much better than I ever remembered the Gage being in prior years, to bad we have to leave town and could not go again. But we will be back. Our server, Crystal G was over the top in her help selecting choices and in her attentiveness . A wonderful luncheon spot for sure and I’ve been to the best of the best around the world.
