GEMINI

Met up here with a friend for restaurant week during brunch and was very happy with the experience! I had the bubbly drink option, the cinnamon bun, and the egg scramble and all of them were great! I especially love the egg scramble because the eggs were soft-cooked. I would definitely come back for a different meal or the same thing!

Everywhere I go these days, I always have to have an espresso martini. Gemini is up there as one of the city's best, in my opinion. The food and ambiance is also top notch. Our server was charming and made great food/drink recommendations. Such a great space!

Had such an AMAZING experience at Gemini! We were visiting Chicago just for the weekend and before visiting we watched a YouTube travel guide on restaurants to try and this place was recommended as one. Just from the video the food looked amazing, so we decided to give it a try. We originally had plans to go to Geminis for lunch at 12pm on a Saturday but didn't realize lunch started at 2pm, so we tried making dinner reservations instead, but we were told they were fully booked but if we tried arriving around 5:30-6pm we may be able to catch seats at the bar since they are full service at the bar as well. We figured we would give it a try and when we arrived, we were able to get two seats at the bar. The atmosphere was amazing, and the staff was super nice. I ordered the Squirtsky draft cocktail, which was delicious, and for an appetizer we ordered the warm parker house rolls which was SO GOOD! For dinner we both ordered the Maple Glazed Salmon with the truffle-parmesan fries and roasted cauliflower, and everything tasted AMAZING! Next time we visit Chicago we are for sure going back to Geminis!

I am kinda torn on what you rate this place. We booked reservations to celebrate my gf’s new job offer. Had really high expectations. Our reservation was at 8pm. Got free parking on the street in front. We went 15 mins early and was told to wait. There is no wait area, and the bar was full as well. I kept on seeing people who came after us getting seats. So at 8:15 i approached the manager and asked him what was happening. He convinced me that the people who were getting seated were people who had reservations at 7:30 and 7:45pm. Well then you need to manage reservations better. Anyways we were seated at 8:20-8:25 pm. Really impressed with the service, food was served fast, and our server was very nice. We had the Parker House Rolls for apps. It was really good. We were also given the Grilled Spanish Octopus as a courtesy from the manager. The octopus was just okay, but we were really happy about the gesture from the management. For drinks, we ordered the Danny-O and FKG. They were both good. For entrees, we had the Butternut Squash Ravioli and Flat Iron Frites. The Ravioli was so yum - definitely the highlight of the night. The Steak was a disappointment. For dessert, we had the Brown Butter Apple Tart. It tasted delicious but unfortunately the Tart was undercooked. So not really impressed by the food to be honest. Also not not a fan of the ambience inside. It was very noisy and the table next to us was like so close, it was hard to have a convo. We were expecting a cozy date night. When the checks came in, we realized the Drinks were also paid by the host. Such a nice gesture, because of the wait Im guessing. So we will give this place a try again.

GEMINI is a true gem in Chicago. When you want a break from your daily routine and to just unwind by yourself or with whomever, then come on down to Gemini. You honestly can't go wrong with whatever you decide to eat or drink. Noah the bartender is absolutely amazing; there's nothing you describe to Noah that he can't come up with on the spot (thank you Noah for going above and beyond in making a cocktail off the menu)!!!! Helen, Amanda, and the whole team at Gemini makes sure that the moment you step into Gemini and are in their presence, you will leave your worries at the door. That truly says Everything you need to know about Gemini. The atmosphere, the staff, the drinks and food all come together for a recipe of your new favorite go to spot.

Fantastic tasting burger and truffle fries! The best way to start my Saturday was a trip to this sweet restaurant. Will be back again! Warm and friendly staff and open & stylish atmosphere!

We went for brunch and their bottomless deal which is one of the best in Chicago. Our waiter was incredibly nice and was very quick with refilling our drinks. Our table fit 8 girls comfortably and made for a wonderful day out!

Overall, had a good experience here. The seating is kind of cramped which means the ambiance gets very loud. Drink menu has some decent cocktails but not many options, and nothing unique. The food was alright but the prices are high enough that I expect more.
