Gene's

Went here on a whim when I heard good things and has seats available. My server was great and very patient in describing some of the drinks and meals to figure out what I'd like. The food was PHENOMENAL, the bone in pork chop was cooked perfectly and the maple glaze on it was perfect. It went so well with the grits and collards under it. I finished it with the Privateer's Lounge cocktail and the sticky toffee pudding and it was a nice finish to the meal. I'll definitely be back here when they change their menu up again, and if you have something to celebrate this is a great place to do it!!

This place is such a hidden gem. While it is on High Street, and in Old Dublin, it is down the street from the other restaurants and across the river from the loud Bridge Park. The window box flowers and outdoor seating are the perfect way to walk up to this quaint place. We ordered the melon/speck and the New York strip. The flavors of each dish were incredible. Having the staff explain everything on the dish as it was delivered was a great touch. For dessert we tried the black raspberry shortcake. The corn sorbet stole the show and was a great way to finish off the evening. Please check this place out but definitely get reservations. It is small but everything seems in its place.

Lovely place but recommend NOT ordering that second bottle of wine or dessert, or spending time before the meal with cocktails! The food is excellent, as always, and the wait staff wonderful- we had Ivy- highly recommended. Food was spaced nicely with beautiful presentation and explanation. After two hours we were abruptly asked to leave by a manager as another party needed our table. We had to leave full glasses of wine and half our deserts on the table as they had just arrive a few minutes earlier. If we could do this evening again, we would skip the cocktails, skip the second bottle of wine and forgo the dessert and it would have been a perfect evening! Wonderful food and service!

One of the best restaurants in Columbus! Every time I go back it gets better and better. Every dish was outstanding last night. My favorites at the moment are the roasted leeks and the cavatelli pasta. Everything is fresh and seasonal. Can’t wait to go back!

Took a risk and visited here for the first time for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We LOVED it. Inspiring seasonal dishes, vibrant fresh flavors and stunning plates. We were welcomed with sparkling wine to celebrate, and were amazed at the speedy service especially for a Friday night. Hunter our waiter was excellent and we adored the interior design. Can’t wait to come back! Favorites: the Crudo and the eggplant. Spectacular

Well… First off, this place is pretty charming just generally. Ambience is pretty good too - always a welcomed plus. It’s contemporary and chic. The staff are interesting and excited and committed. I went in the early months of its grand opening; so let’s hope the commitment is consistent. How’s the food? Totally excellent! I will only note that when we visited, we found the menu to be very simple ingredients that seemed to ask for impressions on nuances in our palette - rather a “kapow” of decadent tastes. It was in that way, slightly underwhelming. But the menu has changed since and I believe will continue to. Assuming they stick to the quality and presentation of their well prepared and fresh ingredients, then you have everything to look forward to. It’s small gems like this that I hope survive. If the management are listening then I would say. Take risks but also accommodate the classic palettes too. Isn’t balance everything after all? Dublin needs you. Thanks.

I walked into Gene’s on a Tuesday night and sat at the bar. The space was cozy and its decor polished. Lively without being too noisy, the dinner crowd was a mix of small and large parties, more bustling than expected for a weekday evening, but in a good way. The hamachi crudo and sparkling wine couldn’t have been a better pair to start the meal. The chicken-fried mushroom—all the more as a gluten-free and vegan dish—blew me away. When I’m in Dublin again, I’ll be bringing my friends and colleagues to Gene’s. It was the whole package in atmosphere, quality of food and service, and in really having something for everyone.

Gene’s has created a quant and personal, yet inviting space. All of the dishes on the menu are very creatively and delicately curated. Received genuine service from several members of the staff and would recommend to any small group!
