    I really liked this place. The food was excellent. We had the Prosciutto pizza which was very good and the carbonara type of pasta which was excellent. The only reason I’m not giving it a 5 star is a couple of things. First we ordered the onion dip appetizer which was very good, but as always there wasn’t enough bread to finish the dip. SO MANY restaurants are starting to do this. It’s so annoying and disheartening. They know you will need more bread to finish and then provide you more bread to finish the dip as you request. Then you see a $4.50 extra charge. Other restaurants do this stuff and it’s really really annoying and wrong. I’m not asking for extra food for free I just want the food I paid for to finish the dip. STOP with this!! It makes me want to never come back. Then if someone requests jalapeños on their pizza, Use FRESH jalapenos, not pickled ones from a jar. Jalapeños should be cut fresh for pizza, this isn’t nachos. Just my personal 2 cents. Overall a great place, I wish these places just did these little things better. A hidden gem. Please to ALL restaurants, STOP charging extra for required items needed to finish an appetizer you already paid a lot of money for!!

    We have been there several times and this was the worst service we have ever had at a restaurant. We were seated right at the reservation time of 5pm. Ordered drinks at 05:05pm. At 05:15 we ordered dinner as drinks arrived and didn't see our server again until 05:55pm. That was 40 minutes. We finished our drinks at including all the water at 05:30. We would have ordered more if we had been checked on. Not once between time time a different server brought our food and the 05:55 did our server ask if everything was ok or if we wanted more drinks. We could visually see other table getting multiple drink orders after another and getting checked on. So at 05:55 we ordered more drinks. We didn't see our server again until 06:35. How is this even possible if other tables again are clearly seen getting more drinks and being checked on?

    We came in late Thursday for some tapas and 5$ martinis! Everything was to die for wow! Absolutely stop in for a Lychee martini. Great place for a girls night. However the kitchen closes at 9:45 even though we are able to make reservations up till 10pm. Our server took great care of us and got us our food anyway!

    Always an outstanding experience at The Genuine. I live nearby, and the food consistently exceeds expectations, and the space is a mid century gem - truly an additive element often missing from even great neighborhood spots.
