What Alexandra Kozey doesn't like about The Little Gem Cafe:
very expensive new year dinner. steak was excellent. service was poor. had to order everything at once, although the other tables were served the courses in the order. a fixed menu does not mean to hurry the customers. server brought me the wrong ones. new plates were placed on the tiny table before used plates were removed. the desserts about half the size of other restaurants. not especially enough for over $200. View all feedback. What Arthur Lind likes about The Little Gem Cafe:
new year eva reservation for 8:15 kept disappointing as long as the kitchen staff overwhelmed. we have very long waiting times between the curses. the server was attentive and eating was really good, but the timing wore on us. View all feedback.

Delightful find. The place was welcoming and relaxed.

Tom George restaurant offers a unique dining experience, with a mix of positive and negative reviews from customers. While some had issues with the restaurant being closed without notice, others enjoyed the food and service. The restaurant is praised for its ambience, excellent service, and tasty dishes like truffle fries, fried calamari, and sea bass. The live music adds to the overall dining experience, making it a memorable night out for many patrons. With a mix of feedback on pricing and food quality, Tom George seems to be a restaurant worth trying for a special occasion or a date night.
