| Lincoln Park Bistro Will Serve Buttered Quail Eggs, Host Receptions for 150 |
|
From chef Jason Paskewtiz and partner Ryan O'Donnell, Gemini Bistro is slated for a September 9 opening in Lincoln Park. With tweed banquettes, a gold marble bar, and South African wall sconces crafted from ostrich eggs, the restaurant will be available for full buyout and will host seated dinners for 100 and receptions for 150. Also available for rental, a patio on Dickens Street will seat 40.
Paskewitz's menu will focus on American fare with French and Italian twists, and items will be categorized by size. The "Small" selections are set to include lobster gazpacho and summer tomato salad; the "Medium" menu will offer creamy vegetable risotto and bacon with butter-basted quail eggs; and the "Extra Large" items will include a whole roasted chicken with root veggies and a natural-reduction sauce. |
