"Coffee comes black with a mountainous side dish of whipped cream. The melted Belgian chocolate, mixed with orange liqueur, is set on fire, all the better for roasting marshmallows...."

"Though the menu offers a few other items, it`s the assortment of meat, vegetable, cheese, and chocaolate fondues that keep people coming back to Geja`s. Often noted as one of Chicago`s most romantic spots for a first date, Geja`s is frequently host to num..."

"For every course there's a fondue at this Lincoln Park longtimer. Start with the cheese fondue, then progress to the sampler plate of shellfish, chicken, beef, and vegetables cooked in a kettle of hot oil (the tables are riveted to the floor to avoid disa..."

"A dark, subterranean hideaway, Geja's (pronounced gay-haz) regularly shows up on lists of the most romantic restaurants in Chicago (cozy couples should request a booth off the main dining room). But the interior might strike some as too gloomy -- and the..."

"When fondue cooking makes its return in the next millennium, this place will be right in step. You'll enjoy the whole scene as long as you don't mind cooking your own beef, chicken or seafood...."

"What you have here is an original in every respect---despite the fact that fondue cooking has made its return. This stalwart has survived the ebb and flow of trends, going on to remain one of the darkest, most romantic spots citywide...."

"I like Melting Pot, the prices are too darn high, so a better bet is Geja's. It's tucked away and dark, so it's pretty romantic save for the smoky smell (it's the hot oil smell, I think)...."

"For over 40 years, couples seeking a romantic meal to share have been drawn to this dark, intimate restaurant, for a 4-course meal of salad, cheese, meat, and dessert fondue. Dip bread chunks into melted cheese, cook your own beef, chicken or seafood in a..."

"Inside, Geja's looks pretty much the way I remember it from a dozen plus years ago and probably the way it's looked since it opened in 1965. Bottles hid behind cages with wooden breakfronts set in rich wood panelling to divide the space into small rooms w..."
