Geja’s Cafe was such a great experience. The staff was so friendly from the moment we walked in the door. The atmosphere was fun and so enjoyable with live music. And the nostalgia of growing up with fondue dinners in the 70’s and sharing that with my adult children now was so fun! The food options were perfect for everyone’s preferences and the drink options were festive for the holiday season. Definitely worth the price.

I had a great experience here. Our server was helpful and attentive. We had the salmon and the mezzi rigatoni and they were both delicious. The vibe was really nice. Adalina will stay on our list of places to go in Chicago for sure.
