My husband and I recently had a magical experience at Geja. From the moment we walked in, we were swept away by the cozy and intimate ambiance that set the stage for a truly unforgettable evening. The menu is extensive, offering a wide variety of fondue options. We started with the classic cheese fondue as an appetizer, and it was a delightful blend of creamy cheeses, perfectly seasoned and accompanied by a selection of fresh bread, crisp vegetables, and fruit. We then opted for a meat and seafood option. When the platter arrived, it was arranged with an assortment of tender beef, succulent shrimp, potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli and onions. The fondue pot, bubbling, allowed us to cook the meats to our liking, creating a fun and interactive dining experience. We ended the dinner with the decadent chocolate fondue served with marshmallows, fruit and moist, fluffy cake. It was heaven. The service was impeccable (shout out to Tyson!). We wanted for nothing as he seemed to anticipate our needs. Overall, the warmth of the staff made us feel like valued guests. From the romantic atmosphere to the delectable food and outstanding service, every aspect of the evening was thoughtfully crafted to create a truly unforgettable experience.

My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary here. Geja's Cafe knocks it out of the park. We entered greeted with warmth and kindness from the staff. Constantly good wishes for our anniversary along with a beautiful card. We both ordered the Geja's Premier Fondue Dinners: Prince Geja's Combination and Beef tenderloin and chicken. Our waiter, Michael, was attentive and great. We enjoyed every stage of fondue, along with the great service from staff. Thank you so much!

We had frequented Geja's when we lived in Chicago more than a decade ago, and were happy to visit again as tourists. The ambiance and service were amazing--top notch as always. The fondue experience was surreal--highly recommend the outside patio dining by the fire. Cheese fondue was great, the main course was extremely fresh and ample servings, and of course, the flaming chocolate dessert. Wine service was great, with an incredible selection. Nothing compares to Geja's!

We went for our 25th wedding anniversary. It was an awesome experience! Everyone was super friendly, and we didn't have to wait for anything. They were super attentive and really sweet.

A great experience from start to finish. We had Prince Geja's combination. This was our first time at Geja's, but not our last. Our waiter Gary , along with the staff were very helpful. Dessert fondue with chocolate was also very good.

Where to begin. My lovely partner brought me here for dinner. The ambiance for one. Low light, candle lit tables, live music, everything about Gejas is romantic as advertised. We both got a bottle of red to start which was rich in flavor and was the perfect drink to accompany our meal. We got the Prince Gejas combination. The starter of cheese fondue, breads, fruits was excellent. The bread and cheese combo was so rich, creamy, and savory. Have to mention the salad also, loved the vinaigrette dressing. Onto the main course. The cooking of the food was a blast. Our waiter Gary prepped us on everything we’d need to have a superb meal. My personal favorite was the scallops, they’ve been on my mind since last. But the chicken, beef, lobster did not lack whatsoever. I’m a nerd and used my Apple Watch stopwatch to ensure proper cool times. The main meal was excellent and I would recommend to anyone. For dessert, the chocolate fondue… are you kidding me. Insanely good. S’mores like done on a campfire. The fruits and the chocolate, can’t say enough. Not to mention the little red velvet cake brought out for my birthday. If you’re lucky enough to go on your birthday you’ll have the ultimate wish placer on this cake. We finished off with two signature cocktails, I don’t think there is a drink that you could go wrong with on their menu. In all, this place is can’t miss. If you want the ultimate romantic evening you must come to Gejas. We felt so welcomed and fell in love with the whole experience, most definitely will be back. Thank you Gejas staff for all you do.

Fantastic place to celebrate our engagement! Food was delicious, servers were so friendly and helpful, and management was so kind. Will definitely be back again. Highly recommend the scallops. 😋

We come here every year for our anniversary and it’s always a much looked forward to event. Everything is always delicious and eaten no matter how full we get. Staff is super helpful and kind, valet is extremely convenient and quick, and the atmosphere is one of the coziest places I’ve ever been. Love Geja’s ❤️
