Disappointment. We had to wait 15 mins to be seated from the reservation time. The menus came out 10 mins after that and the food another 30 mins after that. The food was luke warm to cool and very little flavor. The waiter was basically working the whole restaurant by himself and friendly. The portions were small and the pricing was way too high. The pork dish was a pass. The birria dish was not savory. Confusing menu. Should’ve gone to tried and true South of Nicks.

Staff was nice, food took really long to come out and was lukewarm when it did. Husband sent back the filet mignon because it was very tough and chewy. Salad was pretty bland.

After reading some other reviews about their steak, we were excited to try Gema, but overall, it was a disappointment. The first and second courses came together, Tostadas and two whole Langoustines that delivered two small bites each after removing the shells. They didn't have the reviewed Tomahawk steak on the menu, so we opted for the Wagyu Filet. It was the worst filet we've ever had in a restaurant, tough and barely edible. We mentioned it to our waiter, Luca, and he seemed surprised when we asked the provider of their Wagyu. We split the steak and left over half. Tough meat happens sometimes, but when you tell the server there's an issue, it should be addressed with the kitchen. The flavor profiles of some of their dishes were interesting and new but we don't think we'll be going back.
