"A great restaurant to celebrate special occasions. While the food was good, fondue is what it is. I did enjoy the extensive and inexpensive wine list. I would recommend waiting the extra 20 or 30 minutes for a booth."

"Great romantic date or special occasion restaurant. You won't regret getting a bottle of wine that's on special. Food prices are high, especially considering you cook your own food, but you're really paying for the experience. The lighting is so dim that you need a flashlight to read the menu, but that darkness is part of what makes it perfect for a romantic date. There's valet parking for $10 and a nice heated area for you to wait in while your car is retrieved. This is the kind of place one greatly enjoys going to once or twice a year."

"What a great place. It had been a while since I've eaten at Gejas and it is still just as good as I remember! The sauces with the dinners are creative and delish. The waitstaff is attentive and very friendly. I ordered a glass of wine. About a minute after it came, our server brought a new glass saying that she realized the bottle of wine I first got was open a few days and so she brought me a glass from a freshly opened bottle. Very classy. The staff clearing the table were on top of it without being intrusive. What a great place! Live guitar music added to ambience."

"This was the first time my fiance went to a fondue restaurant and he is now hooked. He "loved" everything! Geja's was very accomodating with everything down to filling the water glasses. Thank you for a wonderful experience!"
