                                                    Great place. Some confusion with our server at the beginning meant we waited quite some time. But once sorted she was all over it. Love the whipped feta starter, and the pasta mains where all winners. Definitely a return place.

                                                    The service was outstanding; the food was excellent. Two of the 6 drinks were sent back, but the replacements were again superior. The only complaint is the women's restroom. It is in desperate need of remodeling--chipped paint, and water stained counters, plus it had a horrible sewer smell. This was the only thing that destroyed the experience.

                                                    Anther great meal at The Genuine. Six of us went on a Sunday afternoon after we'd been wine tasting nearby. The food was great, we loved chatting with our server, and the Chef who was nearby our table. The football game was on. Great time!!

                                                    Disappointed in the menu and food. Asked for hot tea and jelly for my toast. They did not have either. Cinnamon roll was average. Too many other places for brunch that have better quality food

                                                    It would have been nice had my dining reward been honored. I was so embarrassed and the manager refused to call Open Table. Jessica the manager told us it wasn’t her job. No wonder the place was half empty. Our server was rude
