I ordered carry out and the food was ready when I got there. I had ordered several dairy sauces on the side because I was eating with someone who can't eat dairy. I was very impressed that the menu listed about seven different allergens so it was very easy to tell what had soy, or dairy, or gluten or onions. So for anyone with some food sensitivities, I would recommend them highly. The food that we got was very good. read more

TL; DR: Reservations for weekend brunch, boozy brunch seems like a good deal Service was a little iffy since we had a reservation and had to wait an extra 20 minutes for a spot. Once we sat down, the waiters were great though. The pastry trio is a great way to share with the table, but the cinnamon roll was a little dry. The Lincoln Park Turkey Club was a great sandwich and actually has 3 pieces of bread instead of 2. The French fries were great for a side too. I would come back for bottomless brunch because it looks like there lots of options. read more

This place should be a go to for anyone who wants just good, simple brunch food with..an unlimited drinks menu for 1.5hours. So for that you get unlimited squirtskys, mimosas, Bellinis (please check the menu for who qualifies). There's outdoor seating when weather permits and the service and waitstaff are great (all the wait staff are great but big shout out to Katie - she's a gem!) read more

It was my first time at Gemini and I had an amazing time. Service was fabulous. our server was so attentive, sweet, and informative. The atmosphere was pretty great too, we got to sit outside and they turned on the heater for us! Food was delicious! Just wish that it was a bit more flavorful but overall still good. I loved their crème brûlée! So sweet and creamy. The drinks were amazing too. Parking wasn't super hard to find which was great and plenty of seating inside and out. Overall a pleasant evening at Gemini's! read more

Great spot of brunch! Omelette was great, a little too much cheese but I wasn't too bothered by it. The potatoes were great however a little on the colder side. The waiter was very attentive and gave us some champagne on the house. I will definitely be back! read more

I was excited to try this place for bunch. I got the vegetable frittata. The eggs were good, but the toast was super dry. Didn't come with butter or jam. I also ordered a cappuccino. Coffee was good. Service was unfortunately super slow. They didn't come by to ask if we need anything and sat for 20 min before we could even order. Also gave us the wrong change. I wasn't impressed for the hype of this place. read more

This place is consistent, fairly priced, great service and ambiance. Highly recommend it and it deserves a great review!

We stopped in for lunch this past weekend. Great food and drink was served with exceptional service. Truffle Parmesan fries were light and tasty. I enjoyed the Turkey club. All of the dishes were prepared with care and quick. Excellent presentations. read more

Service was absolutely fantastic and the vibes of the place were great. It was nice and crowded but the food came out so quick it was crazy. They have a ton of drink options. The frittata and it was truly delicious. Not sure the extra $4 to add an egg to avocado toast was really worth it since the egg came on the side and not on top. read more

Excellent spot for happy hour. I like that the bar setting is expansive and there are no big tvs blaring. The beef sliders and vodka martini with blue cheese olives that I ordered were stellar. Service was efficient, giving me the opportunity to enjoy this libation and bite to eat before attending a lecture nearby that evening. The modern interior is inviting and being able to watch the world go by from my perch at the bar is icing on the cake, so to speak. read more

I love coming to Gemini! This restaurant has great food, drinks, and service. I love sitting at the bar, but most nights it is crowded - so get there early! I do wish they had more seating options for larger groups. I once went with a group of 8 adults and we sat in a half booth and were mildly uncomfortable. My updated review is for Gemini's Restaurant Week dinner. I went to 2 other restaurants during restaurant week and Gemini's was the best by far! We received FULL portion sizes (many places serve half/partial portions during RW) and each dish was delicious and seasoned perfectly. I look forward to dining at Gemini again soon! read more

Solidly good American bistro food. Attentive waitstaff, vibrant atmosphere ( a bit on the loud side ) and good food ( not spectacular but good) . I appreciated how many fish options were on the menu. My ahi tuna entree was good. My friend enjoyed her fish special - the walleye. Husband had the special of the night , beef stew , which was decent ( wouldn't recommend that entree ) . Our friend enjoyed his burger and truffle fries. All and all a solid choice if looking for classic American food and want to stay in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. Price point a bit high but I suppose what one would expect and comprable to other restaurants in the area . Reasonable and convenient vallet parking available. . I'd return for sure. read more

Brought my parents here for dinner. The menu is small but everything we ordered was amazing. You can tell they take pride in their ingredients and presentation. Service was a little slow although we came later in the evening on a weekday so everyone may have been tired from the rush earlier. At night this restaurant is dark and moody with minimal seating. During brunch, it's bustling with brunch goers. We are going to be trying brunch next! read more

Great option in Lincoln Park for a super cozy dinner spot. Many options to split/share! Standout dishes for me were the rolls, wild mushroom risotto, and brussels sprouts. Excellent service too! read more

We stopped by here to meet some friends for drinks and it was the perfect atmosphere. We wanted to find a cocktail bar, but a lot of the bars in the area weren't open in the early afternoon, so we decided to check out Gemini. We were able to grab seats at the bar and were serviced right away. The cocktail menu was a little bit on the smaller side but the bartender provided multiple recommendations based on my usual drink picks. I had a spicy margarita that had a great balance of spice and flavor. Everyone in our group enjoyed their drinks, and we didn't get food so I can't speak to that but it looked great when it came out to others seated at the bar. Great for an evening drink spot! read more

The food and drinks were delicious, our server was nice, the ambience was great. My only con is that I thought the food was too pricey.. but perhaps on par with today's prices in that neighborhood. Note that if you tip using the percentages noted on the machine that it takes the percentage off of the after tax amount, not pretax, which I think is not general practice. read more

What an incredible dinner. The food is amazing, well priced and overall a great experience. The staff are knowledgeable and the service is quick and very efficient. I love the outdoor seating with the greenery and in the summertime it might be the best time to ever get outside in the city. They also have valet so you should keep that in mind which is a nice feature. read more

Went with a group of girls for brunch last Saturday and Andre took care of us. He was amazing, so nice and friendly with great timing. We really liked having him. The food was very good but the highlight was the bottomless drinks because you can alternate between a ton of options which is rare. It was a really solid experience and I'll be back and ask for Andre! read more

Casual brunch at this Lincoln Park neighborhood bistro. I was surprised at how far along the sidewalk their outdoor seating extended, down to the alley. Nice quiet neighborhood. Brunch menu seems a little basic, food was fine. read more

This was.... Bad. And I was kinda drunk when I was here so you know they're underperforming. Tuna tataki was like fine but definitely not worth the price. Steak from steak frites was just b a d. I've made better steaks at home and I'm not even good at making steaks. The fries were ok. My friend got the burger and that was also ok, prob the best of all the options. The drinks were all mid to bad. The ambiance is cute, we went on a day with nice weather so the booths inside were next to open windows that face onto the patio. That's probably the best part. read more

You honestly cannot get a better bottomless brunch drink deal than here!! It includes beer, mimosas, bloody Mary's, and cocktails. The food was also amazing.

We've been here a few times over the years and it's always a hit! This time we came for my husband's birthday during *Gemini season* and the experience was so great I had to review. We had the parker house rolls (yum), amazing wedge salad, and then split the ahi tuna tataki (one of the best dishes at any restaurant anywhere according to my husband) and had the special short rib (prepared with chimichurri & feta). Great martinis as well! Mikey our waiter was so attentive and helpful and fun, and absolutely hooked it up with birthday dessert. Timing was perfect, ambiance was perfect, we will be back asap! read more

My twin sister and I visited here for our birthday brunch celebration and had a lovely time. They reached out prior to our reservation and asked if we were celebrating anything, and when we showed up, we had personalized menus! Chris was our server and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable time. He was funny and informative and even comped a couple of our breakfast danishes for our birthday. The ambiance was fantastic -- slower music with snow falling outside. We enjoyed the avocado toast, spicy chicken sandwich, and the lox platter. read more

Gemini - Espresso martini and personalized brunch menu - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

BRUNCH REVIEW: We think Gemini has great food! We came for brunch with a group of seven on Sunday. It was pretty busy, so I do recommend a reservation if possible. The lunch menu is fairly limited but we do enjoy the bottomless brunch option. We got the warm rolls and prosciutto and burrata crostini as appetizers. I think they were tasty but a little underwhelming. The burrata had honey drizzled on it and was a bit on the sweet side. While we weren't overly impressed with the appetizers, the burger and spicy chicken sandwich were both fantastic. Both options are outstanding and very flavorful. I am not a huge spice person, but the sandwich is not too spicy and hits just the spot. Ambiance is nice for an intimate date or small group. Service was a little slow, but I'm not sure if it was just because brunch was busy. I personally feel that they are overpriced for what they offer. I would come back and try dinner, just wouldn't expect it to be a cheap night by any means. read more

What a cute little corner spot in Lincoln Park! I didn't even know it existed until a friend suggested we go there for dinner after work. And to find out it's from the same restaurant group as Coda di Volpe which I love! Anyways, we had a lovely meal. The mussels were delicious in the garlic butter sauce and my steak frites were tasty. I regret not upgrading to the truffle fries. For dessert we had the cookie skillet, which, as a warm chocolate chip cookie and ice cream, is hard to beat. I think we ordered pretty "safe" items and the menu overall is pretty safe but it was all tasty!! Would definitely come again. I also loved my mocktail and the service was excellent. read more

Attended a Sunday brunch with a large group. Waitstaff was very accommodating given the group size and the different arrival times of each of the guests. Felt that we were met with kindness, patience and understanding. Unfortunately however, the food was very bland. Extremely disappointing. My family ordered the eggs benedict, steak and eggs, breakfast chicken sausage (extremely dry and over cooked), and breakfast potatoes. Would not recommend ordering these items when ordering here. read more

I've loved Gemini as a neighborhood spot for years. This review is dedicated to the people that make it great. I had a great meal there last night but lost a piece of jewelry. THEY FOUND IT AND RETURNED TO ME. There are good honest people in the world and some of them are at Gemini. read more

We came here for brunch and waited for a nice seat outside so we could bring the dog. I loved the bottomless deal because you can pick from a variety of drink options and interchange. The drinks I chose were the champagne and squirtsky (vodka cocktail), which was super refreshing. The coffee I also ordered was tasty as well. For food, I got the veggie frittata with a side of bacon. The bacon was sweet and thick, and the veggie frittata was nice and light with fresh veggies. Our service was great but on the slower side in terms of refilling our drinks. Other than that, this was a great place to grab a nice brunch on the patio! read more

Cinnamon bun and their iced coffee is really good. The rest I felt was good but not outstanding. Had a weird experience where we were sitting on the patio and it rained so hard we went inside. Had to wait for the rain to stop before we could go back to our table to eat - place was full so very little options. Staff was quick to fix this issue by wiping off the table and chairs of water after the rain stopped 15 min later. Staff was apologetic about the situation. Pretty good portions - shared the meal with my girlfriend. read more

The table ordered 2 burgers with truffle fries, tuna, a wedge salad and the butternut squash pasta. The butternut squash was alright...nothing special, not super tasty. There weren't many of them, maybe 8 or 9 small pieces in the plate for $25. It was in a very liquid sauce and they weren't super stuffed on the inside. I wouldn't order again and left hungy. read more

I've been here twice so far, once on a busy weekday night and the other time earlier on a Sunday evening. It's definitely a neighborhood spot that also appears to be kid friendly. There were at least 5-6 incredibly well behaved kids in the restaurant on an early Sunday evening. Ambiance is relaxed but still feels upscale. Food is overall solid. I especially enjoy their appetizers: spring rolls, mussels and parker house rolls were delicious. The salmon was pretty thick and a little undercooked but seasoned well. I found the mac and cheese to be quite bland, especially for the price, and would have love it to be creamier and have like a crunchy breadcrumb topping. Both times the service started off strong but then left a lot to be desired. There seems to need to be a person to attend to drinks and getting you the check since the waiters seem to be so swamped. When I was with a larger group someone brought me a refill of my iced tea without me asking but we had to put a lot of effort into getting our waiter to come back so others could order another round of wine. read more
