Very typical fancy American food, but done well and responsiblly priced, cocktails are fine.

Wowowow. My partner and I went here for our anniversary, and holy cow! It's beautiful inside, the food is delicious, and the service is so warm and friendly. Definitely in my top five meals in Chicago, for sure. Cannot wait to come back. Thank you for such a special night!

So good. The mussels provencale (where is my cedilla?) were the biggest hit at our table. I loved the hangar steak.

Atmosphere and interior design are especially cozy this time of year. Food is mid at best. The meatballs definitely need to be reworked or taken off the holiday menu. The cuisine is contemporary American, and though we already knew the menu wasn’t particularly exciting or creative, we still wanted to try a new restaurant and show some support. At this price point or less, there are plenty of better options with stronger execution. Chicago is unmatched in contemporary American (easily outshining LA or NYC). The quality of service was their saving grace. The staff made this a positive experience. The food, though, is mediocre and lacking any hint of umami.

Great service but the food is expensive and average. There is also a 3% surcharge for whatever reason.
Sydney is great. Thanks for the great service and food.

Honestly, there are SO many restaurant managers who should come here to learn what truly exceptional service is. My friend and I were there on Thur Nov 6 and from the moment we walked through the door and were greeted until a sincere goodbye when we left, the people are just amazing. After having a reservation, we ultimately chose to eat at the bar because the bartenders were fantastic. My friend did note in the reservation that it was my birthday (something I am not a fan of being pointed out !), but they were so sweet about it. When we left, the host even remembered and he wished me another happy birthday. I don't often take time to leave reviews, but this team absolutely needs to know we had a fantastic evening because of them. (Oh, and the food was FANTASTIC! I do not usually order swordfish, but was so glad I did!)

Had an excellent birthday dinner here last night, one of the best meals I've ever had in a restaurant. Our server, Sidney, was friendly, helpful, and a terrific server. We shared the Shishito peppers (excellent), and had the specials: salsa macha octopus to start. I'm a huge fan of octopus and I loved the spice and the crema that it came with and it was cooked perfectly. I am a huge fan of the Caesar salad here (think it's the best in the city) but we had the Green Goddess Salad on special and it was superb. So tasty. I had the scallop special and they were cooked perfectly but the corn sauce it came on was out of this world. I would love just a bowl of that! My partner had the Ricotta Dumplings which I tasted and they were terrific. Loved the bit of sweetness in the sauce. As it was my birthday, I had Buck's cake and, though I'm not a cake fan, this one was delicious. Gemini is one of my favorite restaurants in the city.
