AlisonDecember 30, 2022Wow, what an experience! The atmosphere is cozy, warm, and romantic. Great for special occasions. Their signature dinner is delicious and a TON of food, highly recommend!- Marnie CoeneJune 11, 2014You have to try this. Very fun and delicious. It takes a while to cook all the food but well worth it. Be prepared to spend almost three hours dining. The dessert fondue was the best!!
Edwin ValentiDecember 31, 2016Truly un-American dining in the wonderful city of Chicago. Although not directly in downtown it is easy to get there even without a car. Take bus 22 (Clark) north and get out at the Lincoln Park zoo.
Kenny UgelMay 30, 2017The combination dinner was so delicious. Still dreaming about the cheese fondue. Can't go wrong for a date, a special occasion, or even to just have some fondue! Come hungry and let your eyes adjust.- Staff PicksJanuary 28, 2016Geja's is the number one rated fondue restaurant in Chicago. Their cheese fondue is to die for, but make sure to leave room for the dessert because the chocolate fondue is not to be missed. Read more
Penny JoJanuary 9, 2013Service and food blows Signature Room & 4 Seasons out of the park! About $100 for 2 but worth it for the atmosphere, service, & food! Very romantic! Coat check & $10 valet available too! Will b back
Kyle AlbrightOctober 20, 2019The Fondue is fantastic, the was my favorite part. Seasoning my seafood and beef took a bit of trial and error, but I would highly recommend this place.
Elizabeth GospodinovApril 19, 2016The atmosphere is amazing dim lights and cozy. The food has made it one of my favorite restaurants, it's simple but delicious and the concept is so much fun.
Emily BoltonAugust 25, 2017This place is a great find, and they have a good Groupon deal! It's old school, romantic, dark, and delish. Good wine selection, too!- AnnaApril 29, 2016Super cute little place! Lots of fun to cook your own food and you can never go wrong with melted cheese or flaming chocolate.
Redeye ChicagoAugust 3, 2014This classic fondue restaurant is a favorite for dates. Order a bottle of wine and dip by candlelight to the sounds of a flamenco guitarist. Read more
Roy MJuly 5, 2013Make reservations if you expect to get seated. Very iffy with out reservations. Expect to spend at least $50 per person without alcohol. Food is excellent. Service very good.
Chicago magazineApril 16, 2012Gruyère fondue gives way to seafood, aged beef tenderloin, vegetables, or all three, which you bubble in hot oil at the table. For a sexy finish, dip fruit into a pot of flaming chocolate. Read more
- Rev "The Rev" 😈January 21, 2013When are they going to add hot dogs to the dessert menu? When you roll them in the chocolate sauce and graham crackers, it looks just like kitty poop in a litter box.
Konstantin TaletskiyJanuary 16, 2016Romantic and cozy there. Great fondue! Come here for a date night.
Sarah MastersFebruary 22, 2011For people with price issues... Go to Geja's during restaurant week. $33 for salad, cheese fondue, entree fondue and chocolate fondue. You leave smelling like hot meaty oil but it's worth it
Thane DykstraFebruary 15, 2022One of the most romantic fondue restaurants I've ever been to. Delicious!
Angie MiltonSeptember 3, 2014Romantic, low light, slow dinner designed to inspire conversation. Works well.
Caplan StrakaFebruary 28, 2010Best Fondue. Romantic if you are on a date or a fun night for a group of friends. Make sure you order the seafood with lobster AND the beef for your dinner.
Christian PokrywkaMarch 1, 2012Fill out the card at the end of your meal to get a 30 dollar gift certificate during your birthday and/or anniversary month!
Tim PMay 20, 2011Super cozy! The best dinner foods are scallops w/butter and potatoes with dill. Get the full meal with cheese and dessert, you will not be disappointed!
Ryan HeiserNovember 30, 2011Cheese is by far the best! Go for the cheese and chocolate, skip the main course...trust me, you'll be full.
Sara MNovember 8, 2010Super romantic and cozy setting! The food is delicious, but be sure to room for the delicous dessert...their chocolate is to die for!
Jennifer StraubJune 25, 2012One of my favorite restaurants in the city! Friend them on Facebook for a free $25 gift certificate!
Monique MathenyDecember 16, 2015Be advised, after diningat this restaurant your hair, skin and clothes will smell like oil. The food is great, the ambiance is spectacular, but the air ventilation is very poor.- Rev "The Rev" 😈January 21, 2013I am surprised that there is not more screaming here from the hot boiling oil.
Michael McCurryNovember 24, 2009Looking for an intimate, romantic place to take your sweetheart for dinner, this north-side fondue establishment is fantastic. A must-try for fondue enthusiasts Read more
