We enjoyed a great meal, chicken wrap’s appetizer, my husband had Gumbo and I had the glazed Salmon. It was all delicious. The drinks were also great. We each had two drinks and spend $160 including tip. Overall we were very happy with the quality of the food and service.

Dining experience at The Little Gem was excellent. Service was smooth and appetizers and entrees were spaced nicely. We were a party of six and everything was seamless. Good menu choices and excellent preparation.
