About Encore! by Little Gem

Encore! by Little Gem is a restaurant that offers a delicious menu, similar to Little Gem, featuring standout dishes like mussels, branzino, lamb chops, and filet mignon. However, the paella was described as soupy and overly salty. The restaurant has a live band, providing a pleasant background with guitar playing oldies that is not too loud. It charges $7 per person and has a 20% automatic tip added to the bill, so customers should be aware of this. The service is generally excellent, with attentive staff like Kyle, who is noted as a great waitperson. Encore is a great spot for unwinding, having a drink, and enjoying live jazz, with vegetarian options available. Although there can be challenges, such as during a storm when the electricity went out, the waitstaff made accommodations to ensure a pleasant experience in candlelight. The main dishes are often praised for their taste, although some have found certain specials like the prime rib to be disappointing. The bar may get backed up at times, but the staff is known to be friendly and helpful.
