The 12 Most Romantic Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Is Geja’s kind of cheesy? You bet your ass it is. And not just because it’s literally cheesy (it’s a fondue spot). This Lincoln Park staple has been around since 1965, and hasn’t changed its red-light-district style interior. Booths are separated by little curtains, and the only sources of light in the restaurant are the little blue flames from the fondue pots, flashlights the servers carry around to see, and glowing red bulbs scattered throughout the space. It’s a little lurid and a bit much, but it’s also romantically campy to feed your partner chocolate-covered strawberries in a place that feels like a 1970s darkroom." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
