"Little Gem is a gluten- and dairy-free restaurant opened by Eric Lilavois and chef-partner Dave Cruz, both former Thomas Keller Restaurant Group members. The restaurant targets a scalable operation with its second location in Cow Hollow, following its first in Hayes Valley since 2015. The venue focuses on providing an 'all inclusive' menu catering to various dietary restrictions, including gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, and paleo options. The restaurant has a warm ambiance with a marble bar, skylights, and a small outdoor seating area. It features the 'LG Pantry' with pantry staples for guests to take home and is open for full-service dinner, with lunch and weekend brunch forthcoming. Notably, it has a larger prep area, allowing for the return of its popular fried chicken dish." - Ellen Fort
