The Little Gem Cafe

Went for brunch ordered a simple order of pancakes and received a stack of raw pancakes. Other items to note was the choice of fruit on top of my pancakes were melon and grapes which I found odd and the plate for the stack was small barely enough room for the stack. Overall, if they are unable to cook a pancake correctly I cannot trust anything else. That was my first visit to this restaurant and it was my last. I will say the waitress was very nice about it and comped the pancakes accordingly, but the rating is based on the food which was raw and inedible.

Wonderful evening. The entrees, especially the steaks, were excellent, and the ambiance is really cozy and welcoming. Our only disappointment was my wife’s mojito. She claimed afterwards that it was just water with some muddled mint. She thinks they forgot to add the rum - it was our anniversary and our daughters were with us and my wife didn’t want to make a fuss, so she just drank it and said nothing. My Old Fashioned was very good.

A perfect Valentines like I’ve never had before!

I truly love this Gem in the heart of Oakpark, and absolutely recommend them! The service was exceptional, the food absolutely delicious, the wine was also amazing, thank you for the recommendation! The ambiance perfect enough to savor the food, enjoy the wine, and enthralling conversation. I made a reservation and was running very late, i am most grateful to them for accommodating me either way. I have been here numerous times and will definitely return. I sure recommend them!!!

...have been to Little Gem many times. The setting, the service, and food are always stellar.
