The sun glistened on my hands as I applied the sanitizer before stepping out of the car. I walk up to a few steps and notice the restaurant was full of life and energy.We get greeted by a host who very welcoming and kind. We followed her to our table as the rays of light coming through the glass hit our face. It was like a moment from twilight. The restaurant was Edward and we were Bella.We get sat and take time to settle into our seats. Ugh, same side sitters; I couldn’t help but think that’s what our server thought as he came to the table. I know. I never thought I’d be one of those people. But here I was.When our server spoke to us he was direct and had a great energy. He ran us through the menu and made sure to ask about any restrictions we may have had.He made a few suggestions and they were great! We had a few drinks and some oysters too. The flavors all came to me, they hit me like a California wave on the French reviera.The lighting was set right, my eyes felt relaxed as I glared at the food.This night was great. The fact I could fuel my love for food and service while spending time with someone someone I love felt awesome.Look at the photos as they tell a story themselves.

Amazing place to dine, I found this spot while I was in town on a work trip. The food and drinks were amazing I visited twice within a 5 day span. Everything tasted fresh, I loved how the food was prepared. The soft shell fried crab and Branzino was amazing. I would definitely visit again when they reopen.

GEM dining is one of my favorite restaurants (Unfortunate that they're temporarily closed). I've visited twice and from the food, service, and ambiance they are consistently amazing. Every dish is unique and delicious w/ an amazing presentation. This is what I ordered:Food: Softshell Crab, Tomahawk, Tom yum Pasta, Bread, Beef Tongue Sising Fried Rice Dessert: Sticky Toffee PuddingIG: @gabxeatz

Love coming here. Their unique fusion dishes are always so interesting - plus I always end up trying all their desserts!

Hard to go wrong with a Kei Concepts restaurant. The food and drinks here were delicious, unique and beautifully presented. I enjoy the vibe here because it's a cross between fine dining and casual, the quality of food surely does not suffer. We had an awesome server, James. He was cool, efficient, and let us try some beers we were on the fence about. Uni toast (4/5)A delicious dish, but felt a little breakfast-e because of the scrambled eggs. Seems like it would be a great brunch dish.Laksa risotto (5/4.5)Delicious flavoring with a unique spin on risotto. It's on the soupier side.Tom yum linguine (5/5)Just as the name says, it tastes exactly like what you would think. If you are a fan of the Thai soup 'Tom Yum', and enjoy pasta, this is your dish!Sticky Toffee (5/5)I am usually a chocolate dessert kind of gal, but this was seriously so delicious. The warm date cake with the cold ice cream went perfectly together. This dessert is not overly sweet, and is presented on a cool wooden tray with smoke. Can't wait until they reopen!

Late post: The food was outstanding, the service was impeccable, and we sat outside, so the ambiance was broken by the noisy traffic. But two out of three ain't bad!Grilled Branzino was delicious. I had to cover the head because it was unnerving to eat it with those dead eyes looking at me. The food and cocktail presentation is absolutely stunning. And it all tastes as good as it looks. I don't have time to list what we ordered, but hopefully this review will peak your interest, and you enjoy it as much as we did!

I came here for dinner on their final night of operations after hearing they would be closing temporarily.It was a little difficult to find since their sign wasn't very visible. Parking is okay not great. We were seated outdoors which I preferred even though the inside is very aesthetically pleasing because it felt less cramped and more private outside.FOOD: Tom Yum Pasta: 5/5 Noodles were delicious, came with plenty of delicious shrimp and scallops. Mushrooms were nice. The broth was flavorful and paired nicely with the dish (splashes so be careful if you're wearing white)Laksa Risotto: 4/5 not as flavorful as the other dishes and make sure you eat it fast before it gets cold. Shrimp was tasty and mushrooms were good as well.Beef tongue Sisig: 5/5 my favorite dish of the evening. Portion was generous and the dish was seasoned well and came out piping hot. Definitely add some lime to take it to the next level. Mango sorbet: 4/5 nice palette cleanser after a hefty meal, sweet but not overwhelming.SERVICE: Staff here did great at ensuring everything was up to standards and that we were taken care of.Great place for a nice meal, counting down the days until they open their doors again.

Thankful to have been able to dine here before the hiatus. The service, presentation, and food are of the best caliber.
I've been wanting to go to Gem Dining for a while, so when I saw it was temporarily closing through TikTok I made sure to book a reservation right before it did. I am so glad I did! The service was wonderful and the food was delicious.We were seated as soon as we arrived. We sat outside which was nice as we got to watch the sunset and I noticed the inside was a more chaotic environment than outside. Our server was quite attentive and helpful, as well!Their dishes are so unique it is hard to choose wrong. I recommend sharing with others so you are able to try more dishes! Everything is so flavorful and scrumptious. Kei Concepts never disappoints!

First and foremost - I want to thank Brandon our server for giving us a wonderful "last" experience at Gem Dining! He really made our night! We took our friends here for the first time as they never got to experience Gem Dining before. Safe to say they loved it! Food was impeccable and amazingly delicious. We enjoyed every single bite. All the dishes came out were soooo good! We enjoyed all the appetizers that came out. We ate:Roti canai with butter chickenGrilled tiger prawnsSoft shell crabBone marrow elote Lomo saltado octopus Tom yum pastaSalted egg yolk pasta with lumps of crabLaksa risottoUbe lava tiramisu Toffee pudding Ambience is intimate and great for both groups and dates. The service really shaped the ambience here. I have been to gem dining when they first open and had their first menu. Been a big follower of Gem Dining since then. I am a bit sad that Gem Dining is temporarily closing. However I know when they come back they are gonna be bigger and better than ever. I'm looking forward to what is in store when Gem Dining opens next!
This spot has been on my list for a long while and when we heard they were closing we finally jumped. I just wish we had done it earlier. Everything we had (3 apps, 2 mains & 2 desserts) was great. I'd love to go back but seems we can't now.

Very nice and open atmosphere. Busy and a little noisy but not bothersome. Service was very welcoming and efficient. Our server provided great recommendations and was never pushy. Came by often to refill drinks and clear plates. Each dish was delicious. I thought the Filet mignon was a bit pricey for the serving but overall the uniqueness of each dish made the final tab reasonable. Overall a great weeknight dinner experience for our family.

First time here. Great flavors and service. It appears the restaurant is closing for dinner in the next few weeks to do some revamping. I hope they choose to open again as it was well worth the trip

Very good food, portions in just right size, yummy cocktails and very good service. Kevin was our server and he was amazing! Brussels sprouts, soft shell crab, salted yolk pasta, Tom yum, risotto. I loved my yolk pasta - very creamy with soft noodles. Risotto was spicy on my taste, but my husband loved it. Tim yum was very good. Too bad they didn’t have coconut cocktail that I saw on the pictures here. Another reason to come back. Ube tiramisu and sticky toffee pudding were delicious. We left full but not stuffed.P.S. there are like 4 restaurants under same roof so it took us some time to find the right door )
