You can have ok food with great service, or you can have ok service with great food, but ok food and bad service is a terrible combination. There are so many better options in the area, l would skip this place. I’m not picky. I just want someone to refill my water, maybe ask if l would like another drink, and not make me wait 20 minutes for the check. At this price point, the service should be so much better. They weren’t crowded, and they weren’t understaffed. They just were good.

Meghan, our server was amazing! She gave out excellent recommendations for some of the best dates and pizza we have had in a long time. We even got to chat with Jessica, the manager, who is doing an incredible job running the show. After just one visit we have deemed this our new go-to-spot. Can’t wait to go back for brunch and $10 Pizza Tuesday!

Another excellent dinner at The Genuine! We enjoyed outstanding cocktails crafted by Andrew-a Martini for me and the Blood Orange Paper Plane for my wife. We split the calamari, a delicious cheeseburger and a pizza with a couple of slices to go. The servers were lovely and attentive and made us feel very welcome. Jessica, the GM, spent some time chatting with us and she is an absolute pleasure to engage with. Whether you sit at the bar, or at a table, you will have an outstanding time. We’re going back for brunch next weekend. Go!

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 genuine is hit or miss each time we go. This time it was a major miss. Our drinks took 20 plus minutes to arrive, and one of the drinks arrived incorrectly made. The food was pretty good, except the ice cream had a hair in it. It’s always a risk when we go there, but sometimes it’s nice.

The Genuine has a lovely atmosphere, good food and great service. I had the beet salad with chicken which was delicious. The funnel cake dessert was a fun experience and creative option for dessert!
