- KKarolinaChicago / Illinois •6 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a lovely experience at this charming restaurant. The service was exceptional, huge thanks to our waiter Axel, who made the evening even more memorable. We tried a Beef Wellington and a seafood strudel. Both dishes were well-prepared, though while enjoyable, they didn’t quite leave us craving a return visit. However, we were excited to learn they offer Sunday brunch and live jazz, so we’re definitely looking forward to checking that out soon! Overall would definitely come back to try other food items.More infoHemmingway's BistroPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Oak Park•4.6
- RRichardChicago / Illinois •20 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoAbsolutely wonderful. The meal was incredibly delicious as were the raspberry martinis. They really made it a special Valentines Day dinner with rose petals and little red gems on the tables. We had the mixed greens salad with champagne vinaigrette and the hangar steak. For dessert I had the crème brûlée and my companion the chocolate mousse. Both were excellent. Highly recommend this neighborhood “gem”.More infoThe Little Gem RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Oak Park•4.7
