   Lovely ambiance. We enjoyed the Date Night Dinner. The food and service were both very good.

   Charming cafe with full bar and lovely menu. We were early diners so noise level ok but imagined that if full it might be a little bit loud. But service (Alicia) was attentive and responsive; allowed us to drink and dine at our own comfortable pace. Can recommend the cucumber/smoked salmon/cream cheese starter; light and delicious with a cocktail. Overall a “5”. Parking convenient.

   The calamari and crostini appetizers were very good. The beet salad could have used more goat cheese. It features prominently in the description but was barely noticeable. We had chosen this restaurant for outdoor seating but the weather proved too hot for that. Indoors was fine, but a bit louder than I prefer.

   Normally I don't find anything wrong with this restaurant but this time they gave me a table next to the back by the cash register. The bar tender was my server even though there were other servers. She gave me pretty good service but for instance she promised to bring me bread for my meal and I never got it because she was busy at the bar. I gave up once I had eaten over half of my steak. She also asked if I was ready for my check when what I wanted was another drink and dessert. This was probably my most disappointing time at this restaurant!

   It truly is a little gem. An amazing restaurant tucked away in the heart of oak park. The food was amazing! And the atmosphere is great.

    Beautiful venue! Service (bar tender running back and forth) made for herky jerky yet slow service. Prices (lunch) very reasonable. Toast (both sides) on my sandwich were burned (black) so unable to taste whatever was between the toast! Just disappointed as I know TLG could do far better

    The service was spotty (understaffed) and the food was disappointing. We’ve been there several times and the experience was not as expected. Sea Bass was over cooked and the short rib had gristle. Risotto was not the best either.

    What a lovely evening and delicious dinner. We started with some refreshing cocktails and all decided to try a few of their pastas. I had the linguini with mussels and it was absolutely delicious. I tasted the seafood risotto and the orrecchiette and both were super tasty. I highly recommend this Little Gem!

    Great Friday afternoon lunch at Little Gem! We enjoyed cream of mushroom soup, fig and honey crostini, and salad with chicken. We were able to take our time and enjoy the meal without feeling rushed. Give the Little Gem a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Had eaten here before and enjoyed it. Most recent visit not so good. Service was slow in a half-full room. Good appetizer of steamed mussels, but rest of food came out barely warm and had too much salt.

    A friend and I had lunch here. I ordered the chopped salad, which consisted of some diced chicken breast, a hard-boiled egg, chopped tomatoes, blue cheese, bacon, salad greens, and vinaigrette dressing. The bacon was undercooked for my taste, but the other ingredients were well-prepared and fresh. For the price, there was remarkably little food in the bowl. A roll alongside would have helped. The water was served without ice, at room temperature. The only reason I am saying "yes" about recommending The Little Gem is that other than diners, Oak Park has so few sit-down restaurants that serve lunch.

    We had a party of 6. Every one of us had outstanding dinners- veggie risotto, braised short ribs were fork tender, filet was cooked to perfection! Our server was attentive, our food came out in a timely manner and was hot. The four piece jazz band was phenomenal! I definitely recommend Encore for a memorable dining experience.

    First time here and we enjoyed it for the most part. Prices are a little higher than other OP spots with similar menus. We were taken aback when my friend asked for cauliflower instead of broccoli and we’re informed this would be an up charge per the menu. The food tasted excellent but portions will leave you satisfied as in don’t expect to have leftovers.

    Great food and service. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Ps it was a bit cool. Higher heating temp would make it a touch more comfortable but the good red wine took care of that as we warmed up.

    Food was delicious and beautifully prepared as we have come to expect. Our server Bronwyn was very personable and attentive, and offered great recommendations on the menu. The atmosphere in the new section of the Little Gem is wonderful and is in keeping with the original part of the restaurant.
