GEMINI — Lincoln Park american that sets the standard. The noise level tells you everything you need to know. The bartender knows what they're doing. Victoria Herr: "The steak was a small portion on her plate, but was incredibly tender and flavorful with the chimmichurri"

“**Highlights:** * Amazing service * Gamlet cocktail is a refreshing and flavorful way to start the meal * Parker House rolls are light and fluffy with the perfect hint of salt * Wedge salad is delicious with unique bacon bits * Brussels sprouts are tasty * Steak frites are cooked perfectly with delicious truffle fries * Mushroom risotto is at the perfect level of creaminess and cooked al dente * Espresso martini is a nice way to cap off the meal”
UPDATE - Second time here. The prices are so high.
We went to this place specifically because it is low key on a game day.

“It’s all about that Vibe.”
It’s all about that Vibe! Wow, what a delightful dining experience at Gemini. Came here with the Mrs for pre-Vday dinner. The host was kind enough to seat us in a booth near the window - providing more space and privacy. And, from there everything was A++. Our server was a gem, food so flavor and the night ended with a rose brought to our Table. My only “slight complaint” - an old fashion should come w/ a big rock? Still, 5-Star all the way!!

“Absolutely incredible experience here.”
Absolutely incredible experience here. My fiancé and I went here on a date and we were blown away by the service. Zach and Doug made it one of the most memorable, special dates we’ve had in a while. We just got dessert (the cake, which was fantastic) but will definitely be back for a full dinner experience. From making sure we had a vase to put my flowers in to checking in on our experience in a genuine way - this trip felt especially personal. Thank you again to Doug and Zach. We haven’t stopped talking about what great service we got for days. :)

“Brunch was awesome.”
Brunch was awesome! Don’t miss out on the french onion frittata, it was so unique and extremely delicious. Prepared perfectly. I also tried their prickly pear bellini and wish I could have ten more. Anna was my server and was such bright energy for my brunch experience thank you. Thank you to all the staff for a genuine and positive experience.

“Please forgive me some context: 11 is a special number for my wife and I.”
Please forgive me some context: 11 is a special number for my wife and I. October 11, 11 years ago was our first date at Gemini. A year to the day after, we got engaged and again had dinner at Gemini. Of course, we had to come back for the special 11th anniversary of our first date! To say that the entire staff here made a special night that much more special is an understatement. Special shoutouts to Tom, Zach, our server Anna, Megan, and Juan (sorry if I misspelled!)! They prepared a special booth for us complete with roses, had printed a copy of their menu from that fateful day 11 years ago (we remembered exactly what we had ordered), printed congratulatory current menus, a special note, gifted us with special champagne, served a wonderful meal, and followed up with another copy of that older menu that had been signed with such kind notes from some of the staff. It was like love on a plate. We are so thankful that our story is intertwined with such thoughtful, wonderful, and kind people! Go here, eat here, get to know the staff, then come back; you won't regret it!

“This place is a true gem.”
This place is a true gem! We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and the entire experience was exceptional. • Service: While there was a bit of a wait for our table, the staff went above and beyond to make it right by comping our first drinks and appetizers. Our server was attentive and friendly all night. Truly impeccable service. • Personal Touches: The biggest surprise was the custom menus they printed for us with our names and a "Happy Anniversary" message. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made our night feel incredibly special. They also gave us a free dessert. • Food: Absolutely delicious! Every single dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor! Definitely do not skip the mussels!

We had the most extraordinary dining experience, great food, wonderful drink pairings, great service- don’t think I have ever had a better meal experience. Thank you Kyle, Meghan, Zach and Tom - don’t think we will ever feel that spoiled ever again! You made my friend’s birthday celebration one to remember! While the scallops were amazing, the steak tartare was excellent, and the peach cobbler with the dessert wine was impossible to resist even as full as we were! We will be back!

I love the food here! Everything was flavorful and perfectly portioned. The salmon was cooked good . The dessert was not overly sweet, which I really appreciated. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

“I knew on my arrival that l'd love the aesthetics of this corner breakfast restaurant, and guess what, I did.”
I knew on my arrival that l'd love the aesthetics of this corner breakfast restaurant, and guess what, I did! Clean and crisp atmosphere with a gorgeous inside and an absolutely beautiful patio with flowers and vines coming from the sunshade frame (totally spacing on the name of those things right now lol). We sat outside, even with hot weather. Nice breeze happening so it was fine, but I like the heat so it's not what everyone would fancy. It was busy inside and out. Service was quick and friendly. Our server, Phillip, was very attentive and told us the daily omelette and popular items. I ordered the daily omelette and switched my side out for fruit. Everything was beautifully presented and on the weekends they offer 90-minute bottomless options for cocktails. I went with the Bloody Mary then had the server randomly select all of the others I ordered. Bloody Mary was a little too seasoned and "thick" at first but once it watered down, it was delicious. My favorite though, was the squirtsky. Except the name (TBD). Gold Rush was good but the bourbon boldness wasn't my fave. And then the Bellini is good for those who like bubbles - my stomach and palate at the moment wasn't cut out for that one. Clean and beautiful bathrooms and the stalls are fun to dance in when listening to the music in isolation 😂 Just a really good time to be had here even if I think Pisces would be a better name OH and the flippin ice was sooo ASMR Imaooo Oh and one other thing - one of the ladies I was with spilled something on her (Worcestershire sauce) and I made a comment asking if they had a Tide stick and they TOTALLY DID! So generous to share that with us to save her outfit. Excellent service!

“I had a great time at Gemini.”
I had a great time at Gemini. We went on mother's day and enjoyed everything we ordered. The crudite stood out as an excellent appetizer and I rather enjoyed my steak. Its an excellent American style restaurant for bringing guests to.

“Overall solid brunch spot for families/friends.”
Overall solid brunch spot for families/friends. Super popular though. I recommend either reserving or coming at an off hour or see if u can eat at the bar. Patio is nice but it gets super windy and there is little to no protection at the ends from the wind. There are heat lamps but if youre sitting at the end the heat doesnt quite reach you.... Food was solid and reasonably (maybe slightly more expensively) priced. Service was good and even though it was busy it was easy to flag someone down.

“We came here a few weeks ago while in town before we had an engagement at the park west theater.”
We came here a few weeks ago while in town before we had an engagement at the park west theater. Everything was so good from the cocktails and wine selection to the food and service. I have the salmon which is absolutely amazing and such a nice portion and cooked to perfection.the salad was great also and able to share. The service was great, even though the server mispronounced the “ Wilamette “ valley which is actually “ will- lam- ette “ But that was minor. This place has a very nice ambience and the management would come around and ask how things were, which is a nice added touch.
