One of the best brunch spots I have ever visited. The food here is amazing. The savory crepe was my favorite and is something I would recommend everyone getting. It pairs perfectly with a side of bacon. My friends and I shared the lemon and blueberry ricotta pancakes and they were as delicious as everyone says they are. Honorable mention to the breakfast pizza, roast chicken on a rosemary biscuit, and their classic mimosas. I also suggest grabbing a cinnamon roll for the road. Warm it up later for a perfect treat.

Brunch here is amazing Croque monsieur, Savory Crepe and Lemon Ricotta pancakes were all excellent and worth getting again! My Americano was well extracted and had a nice fruity and pleasant bitter like dark chocolate flavor with milky body and nutty aftertaste like clotted cream. Also, this is a no-tipping establishment which is nice and means they have priced the menu so that they can pay staff reasonably :)

By far the finest breakfast I've ever had! Incredible natural lighting during the day. Every staff member was so kind, and as an establishment with a no-tipping policy (they pay livable wages) you know this friendliness is as authentic as their dish options.

If we could leave more than 5 stars, we would! Abby helped us arrange our wedding rehearsal dinner at the restaurant and it was the most magical experience. The atmosphere was absolutely gorgeous and romantic (and we're still getting comments about that AND the food!), the staff were so attentive and helpful, and the food was to die for! We absolutely adored the duck confit and the chicken and mushrooms (and we heard the beef burgundy was fabulous too, from our family), the mashed potatoes were heavenly, and the desserts were absolutely perfect. My husband melted into his creme brulee and I could have swum in a vat of the chocolate mousse and happily drowned. The staff even boxed up all the leftovers super well for us (which we SO appreciated!). Between the food, the service, and the mission (we chose Chez Genese specifically for the cuisine AND their MO), we are so incredibly happy we had our rehearsal dinner here, and we can't wait to come back during regular hours for a meal! (We only managed to get photos of the apertifs, which were also, of course, amazing)

Not only is the restaurant beautiful and the people friendly but the food was made fresh and was absolutely delicious. I had the dutch baby with a lemonade.
