"Decided to try something new and stop in here on a saturday afternoon. Not busy at all and the server was probably the nicest server we’ve ever had. The drinks are very yummy & the interior is unique and fun. We tried the double smash burger which was very good & the meat & potato skillet which i wasn’t a huge fan of. it lacked basic seasoning and the potato’s were a bit firm. We will be back to try more!"

"Love the retro 60's throwback inspired vibe. Excellent attentive service from Caleb. Inventive Mediterranean dishes. Good brick oven pizza. The whipped feta was delicious!"

"First time at The Genuine, and it was such a pleasant dining experience. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and it was a great restaurant to eat food and drink lovely cocktails. For appetizers, we ordered the duck egg rolls and the ahi tuna tartare. The duck egg rolls were honestly my favorite. The meat was well seasoned, and the slaw in the egg roll was really flavorful. The ahi tuna tartare was also great as well. For our main dish, I got the seared Icelandic salmon. It was nicely done, crispy on the outside with the salmon still moist. The salmon was a little on the salty side, but when eaten with couscous, tomatoes, corn, and squash, really it even out. For cocktails, I ordered the nitro double espresso martini and take Bethany home. Both were very good options. Our waitress Liz was amazing. She made us felt welcome. Gave great recommendations and was such a joy. The whole staff was awesome. The restaurant was clean. They had a complimentary valet. We will definitely be going back."

"My wife and I responded to a postcard from the Genuine for a complimentary Margherita pizza and bottle of wine. We are so glad we did. We went for their Happy Hour and got there just as they opened, so my pictures show the restaurant without any patrons. The decor is comfortable yet elegant their kitchen features a wood-fire oven, and their menu utilizes it perfectly. The lamb meatballs and pizza were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We enjoyed everything, and we can't wait to go back for dinner to enjoy the ambiance at night and sample more of their cuisine."
