Service is good, food is also good and tasty especially the mussels, but it is a little overpriced for what you actually get. $80 for two sandwiches, one appetizer, and one bottle sparkling water. Again, the place is very nice and the decoration is good-looking, with a cute terrace, but the price is a little too much. Will recommend for a date or a business lunch, but not for casual dining
Last Thursday was my husband's and my wedding anniversary and although this visit was only our second time, we celebrated at our favorite restaurant The Little Gem Cafe and they did not disappoint. The staff was so wonderful and accomodating and the food as always was exceptional from the calamari appetizer, the honey Brussels sprouts down to the main courses that included the Gouda stuffed pork chop and the sausage orecchiette; but the sleeper super rock star was those Brussels Sprouts which were crispy, sweet, flavorful and perfectly done. As always the desserts were fantastic and I would like to thank our server Carlos for being so attentive.
This restaurant is indeed a little gem! My mother, grandmother & I enjoyed our impromptu lunch date after celebrating the loss of a love one. We were greeted by staff and a owner I believe definitely all the warm fuzzy feelings from that. We order the mussels for an appetizer immaculate and perfectly cooked in a white wine sauce. We each order drinks; mom has the erocia riesling she loved, myself the new old fashioned it was good nothing to put of the ordinary or different, grandma had a martini with no vodka as she really isn’t a drinker but she loved it to say the least. For main course I had the boneless slow roasted half chicken pure perfection juicy and crispy skin; it wasn’t quite half of a chicken it was only a breast & thigh. Mom had the seafood risotto definitely lived up to the reviews of being delicious and cooked perfectly; the only critic I was there was a bit to much liquid to the risotto cause it to continue in absorption of liquid. If you were saving any for later which you probably won’t because it’s just that good it might be a little mushy while reheating. My grandmother had the pan seared salmon filet cooked medium well. She enjoyed it immensely; leaving nothing for later hehe. We’ve all started planning our return the on a couples date. Service, vibes and food were all amazing. Thank you for a pleasant dining experience.
I mean - it was fine - I wanted a "nice" sandwich and they had one and it was good BLT - bacon was perfect! Rest was textbook. Fries were tasteless. But service was slow and uninterested in a solo diner sitting at the bar. I had to ask for almost everything and no one talked to me. I think it's more of a "make reservations to have lunch with your mother" kind of place than a real hidden gem.
Like it's name suggest, is a Gem. Service was slow but worth the wait. The brussel sprouts looked and smelled delicious. Table next to ours had them. We had lunch but any of the entrees were available. Was a good find choosen randomly.
My favorite restaurant in Oak Park. Charming interior, live music, delicious food, attentive servers. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We had calamari, brie crostinis, rib eye steak and cheesecake. All spectacular.
We had a lovely time. Great atmosphere. Wonderful waitress Tanya, so welcoming and nice. Food was fresh and good quality. We had the fried calamari, so yummy, crispy not burnt. The steak was perfect better than ones from a chain restaurant and the salmon with the yummiest pesto we would definitely come back. It’s not a cheap restaurant but you definitely pay for the quality you are served.
My wife and I went on a date. Food was good. Calamari is the best. Steak and lamb chops were cooked perfectly. It was a great experience.Food: 5/5
Reserved a table for a small group of friends. Food very good, prices reasonable. The waiter was new to the job so there was some confusion in getting our orders straight. It's difficult to any help these days.
One of our favourite spots in the neighbourhood. The menu is simple but very well done. Feels like a good homemade meal dinner. The date night specials on Wednesday and Thursday night is amazing. 95$ for 2 persons with an appetizer, main, dessert and bottle of wine. The ambiance is really good specially in the "Encore !" jazz section. Love this place !
