Locally Rooted
Before it was a hot spot for music, cocktails, and culinary creativity, Rainey Street had another local legend: Geraldine the guinea fowl. Quirky, bold, totally unbothered, and absolutely unforgettable. Naturally, when we opened our doors in 2015, we named our restaurant after her. Because if there’s anything we love, it’s a little personality.
Whether you’re here for a big celebration, a casual hang with friends, or just vibing solo with a cocktail and some live tunes, Geraldine’s is your spot.
Private Dining
Groups of 15-40 can easily be accommodated for an intimate dinner or a large-scale event for 200 guests. From corporate events, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, or holiday parties, the dedicated culinary team at Geraldine’s will create an evening to remember.
Sergio Ledesma
Sergio Ledesma brings over 25 years of experience to his role as Executive Chef at Hotel Van Zandt and Geraldine’s. Chef Sergio conceptualized and operated La Central San Pedro in Monterrey and Cabo San Lucas, as well as Xocolat Posh Mexican Cuisine in Calgary, and also served as a national corporate chef for Mr. Pampas Do Brasil and its 13 locations. In 2022, Chef Ledesma was awarded the Hispanic Top Chef winner. He also secured first place in the AGC 2007 chef competition, as well as the 2006 Rocky Mountain Food and Wine Show competition.
