It was my first time and I had such a great experience! The food was fantastic and the wine added such a nice touch to the evening. I loved all the variety of wines available as it allowed me to explore and try something I couldn’t elsewhere. The food menu is also quite varied and has something for everyone! The service was great and quick, even though it was fairly busy. Will definitely be returning!

Good, but I thought a little overpriced. Elegant prices for basic and noisy ambiance.

Dining experience at The Little Gem was excellent. Service was smooth and appetizers and entrees were spaced nicely. We were a party of six and everything was seamless. Good menu choices and excellent preparation.
