Imagine you are in Paris or London on a chilly Autumn day where leaves of burnt orange, bright yellow and green are swirling and dancing through the crisp clear air. There’s a rosy warm glow in your cheeks with the newness of fall and a day of bustling vigor!
As the holidays approach you are filled with a magic of readiness and potential in this place so far away and yet so familiar…You walk through the park and around the corner and right there before you nestled on the street of Marion, framed in rich dark oak, you see flickering shimmers of amber and gold through the tall, wide windowed facade of The Little Gem Cafe.
This Stylish Little Restaurant is Intimate, Elegant, Romantic and Warm with a Friendly Welcoming Feel.
A Relaxed Fine Dining Experience. Casual or Smart – All Feel At Ease. Regional Cuisine with Seasonal Specials for Lunch, Brunch and Dinner.
It’s The Little Gem ~ Reservations Recommended – Walkins are always Welcome. We look forward to serving you!
Lots of people have asked how we came up with the name The Little Gem ….everyone thinks its because of the lighting that saturates the gold ornate ceiling and bounces off the mirrors, the bar and candlelit tables or maybe because of the overall cuteness of the space? the exposed brick, mahogany bar, solid wood tables and cherry wood chairs. However …. As we Celebrate our 8th Anniversary we think it’s time to spill the beans …. it’s YOU! You are The Little Gem.
