The lake superior trout is perfect. Also try the fennel soup and take advantage of the Chef Week special.

If you like gin and want to try a different drink (which originated in 1916) ask for an "Aviation"

Try the cold watermelon soup. It's refreshing and has a lot of complex flavors going on
Bailey ShemenskiJuly 27, 2015
Fish and chips and the poutine!!!
Liz HarknessJuly 9, 2015
Best fish and chips I've ever had. Great drinks too!

Order the potato, smoked bacon and clam soup. The presentation was great and it tasted fantastic! Check your diet at the door. It's loaded with cream and butter but a worthy cheat.

Order the guajillo chicken you won't regret it. Best chicken sand in Chicago but its slightly spicy

Can't go wrong with the Gage burger, curry fries and the chicken noodles soup.

Elk poutine=amazingness. The rabbit salad, lamb entree and salmon entree were all equally delicious as well!

Worth a visit for the fried pickles. Some of the best I've had. :-)

Woodland mushroom sandwich is a must! Good enough to make a temporary vegetarian out of anyone

The Elk Rack is a bit on the pricier side, it's really worth it :)
