Linda AlexanderMay 1, 2014Great little neighbor place. Best part of meal was desserts: creme brulee is out of this world and fruit cobbler with ice cream amazing. I am returning for a dinner salad and dessert!
Kinshasa HawkinsJanuary 31, 2016You can't go wrong with the crab cake, scallops, short rib ravioli, & truffle fries - all super delicious. I'll be going back for more of all those things!
One of the best hidden gems in Chicago. The Gemini Salad is my favorite salad I've ever had and the truffle fries are so addicting. The Short Rib Ravioli is also a favorite.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014This neighborhood bistro pleases all kinds of palates, thanks to chef Jason Paskewitz's brand of American cuisine with a touch of Mediterranean flavor. Read more
Time Out Chicago KidsJanuary 10, 2012Kids can choose from the "X-Small" menu, featuring mac and cheese, grilled all-beef franks, and small bistro burgers. Classic kiddie cocktails are on the menu, so no one feels left out of a good time. Read more
Chicago magazineApril 16, 2012Solid offerings such as mussels (recently fra diavolo), short-rib ravioli, and swordfish Provençal are classically inspired but still have a point of view. Read more
Best nightly specials, best seasonal dishes, incredible fish (especially the Swordfish), very tasty truffle fries and last but not least....tasty deserts.Take advantage of the weather, sit outside
Jonathan LeakeJune 30, 2010What a wonderful surprise in Lincoln Park! This place has a very nice menu and great vibe going on. Try to eat outside at dusk when seating is available and weather permits.
Great little place. Enjoy the bread that comes before the meal. Sauce looks spicy, but its not. Excellent
Gilt CityMarch 10, 2011Try the beet salad with lamb’s lettuce and goat cheese, or short rib ravioli, served with an enticingly sweet tomato marmalade.
Tyler MayorasDecember 7, 2009Best desert in Chicago, the Cagney's Warm Skillet Sundae. The cook a large chocolate chip cookie into the bottom of the skillet then place the Sundae on top -- Wow it is awesome. Read more
HendyMarch 28, 2013The roasted salmon is super salty. But the beet salad, service and company was great
Sarah BroerenDecember 22, 2011Must haves at gemini: malbec by the glass and truffle fries! Delish. Skip the pretzel bun - it was very dry.
Chris KangNovember 8, 2010I love grapefruit! 'The Squirtsky' has Finlandia grapefruit, fresh lime, fresh grapefruit and soda!
Liz BarrettMay 3, 2010The roasted beet salad w/truffle oil is fab, as is the malbec by the glass. Bon appetit!
