"Walton Street Kitchen + Bar, the new restaurant from the owners of Gemini in Lincoln Park, have launched lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. There’s a serious selection of salads, sandwiches, and more." - Ashok Selvam

"The folks behind Gemini will open a fancy Gold Coast restaurant called Walton Street Kitchen & Bar later this summer. It will also feature a 'library-inspired' space named The Lounge, which aims to serve Chicago's largest selection of Scotch. The subterranean spot will seat just 18 people and offer large-format cocktails, booze-free cocktails, special wine selections, and more." - Daniel Gerzina

"Walton Street Kitchen + Bar has hired Jon Keeley as executive chef and Ji Yoon as executive pastry chef. Jon Farrer is the GM and managing partner. The Gemini partners have rebranded to Ballyhoo Hospitality." - Ashok Selvam
