Located in Lincoln Park, Gemini aims to be everyone’s neighborhood restaurant even if they don’t live around the corner. Gemini offers food that aims to please a wide range of diners and tastes with dishes that have roots in classic Italian and French cuisines but with Midwest seasonality and sensibility. A made-from-scratch mentality can be found throughout the dinner and brunch menus, including the bun for the signature cheeseburger, seasonal pastas, and ice creams and sorbets. The expansive u-shaped bar serves as a focal point in the 92-seat space designed by 555 Design, both physically and spiritually, providing a welcoming gathering spot for its many regulars. Local beers dominate the list, while a customer-friendly wine list is organized by price point. The rest of the space is equally inviting with cozy banquettes and booths. In warmer months, the pergola-topped sidewalk patio provides a perfect escape for diners as well as their furry four-legged friends.
