GEJA’S CAFÉ TO ROLL OUT THE ROMANCE FOR A EXTRA LONG VALENTINE’S FESTIVAL
Geja’s Café, 340 W. Armitage, is planning the most romantic Valentine’s Day celebration in its 47 year history. For eight days, from Sunday, February 10th through Sunday, February 17th, the renowned “Restaurant of Romance” will be elegantly decorated and feature sparkling champagne, “Love Note Tuesday,” live flamenco and classical guitarists, photo keepsakes, and delicious sizzling hot fondue cuisine.
“Our goal at Geja’s is to create the perfect Valentine’s Day experience for our clientele,” says Jeff Lawler, Geja’s Managing Partner. “We will combine the ingredients – Romantic atmosphere, fine champagne, lavish decorations, live music, flower arrangements from Stems, couple massage packages at Lincoln Park Massage and special accommodations at the newly renovated Hotel Lincoln, plus delicious fondues – into the perfect recipe for romance.”
The eight day Valentine’s Festival celebration includes:
Double Anniversary Discount on Monday, February 11th

Love Note Tuesday on February 12th
On Tuesday, all guests are encouraged to bring in a copy of their most meaningful love note that was written to their significant other at some point in the relationship. Each love note will be collected, read, and should contain the appropriate contact information. The writer of the most romantic and heartwarming love letter will win dinner for two, once a year for the number of years the note is old (limit $150 per visit). The writer of the second most tender love note, will win a dinner for two (limit $150), and the third most touching love letter will receive a $75 gift certificate.
