Genevieve's Kitchen

Joey the chef and owner was very accommodating to all requests, my family suggested the place and we mobbed the back room, very private and very cute. The food portions were bigger than expected. For the price I thought the crab cake dinner would be one cake, but out comes two massive cakes, more than enough to take home for a second round snack. Down to earth professionals that have heart! Love to see it - and when we come back we will be there again. Highly suggested for anyone locally for a date night or anyone visiting like we were; a for sure spot to visit. Now note: it's BYOB, but they allow you to bring your own alcohol, meaning our in laws brought a case of beer and 6 bottles of wine for our party of 9, (great in-laws) I didn't know this was possible being from south Florida where there is a crap ton of rules, no corkage fees and you can bring beers in, which is a big no no. I was reveling in the fact it's like visiting a good friend's home, that was also a chef, was preparing you dinner for you with love, and was very cool. Wish I could have stayed longer.

If you’re looking for a cozy, local gem, this small local restaurant is a must-visit! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making you feel right at home the moment you walk in. The food? Absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection with that homemade touch you just can’t beat. Every bite was flavorful and fresh, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this place needs to be on your list. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and Italian themed food here. Had never been before, but was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Menu was well coordinated and pricing was moderate for the level of charm. Was blown away by the buffalo shrimp appetizer. Brunch menu looked interesting, but have not had the chance to experience yet.

What an amazing experience! Restaurant is located in what seemed like a historical building. We came in and were seated right away, decided to sit outside in the back. Very cozy atmosphere! As far as food goes - you have to try their lobster corn chowder - the bowl is very large and it’s the best chowder I have tried! Over all we loved everything we ate!

Wonderful meal! We had the shrimp and corn bisque which was unusual and tasty, grouper which was fresh and perfectly prepared, and lobster and shrimp ravioli with whole shrimp. Service was perfect and the chef/owner, Joey, came over to see how we liked everything. Can't wait to return!

Wonderful atmosphere, relaxing, menu options have variety. I love that the options are cooked in ways I wouldn't be able to make at home with flavor combinations that are fun. Service great too, not rushy...just very relaxing. Dinner: Thai short ribs, Gnocchi and app was goat cheese beet dip Dessert: key lime pie, Gelato in a wine glass and Americano coffee. BYOB

Came for Sunday brunch, Oct 15, food excellent. Crab cake sandwich and omelette du jour, both nicely presented and flavorful. Wait staff is great. Only issue was a very noisy table next to us, but they got quiet when their food arrived!

Awesome Cajun mussels! Next time going to get the entrée and a side of pasta, do use an entrée. I think it was nice the way the owner/chef came out to talk to the patrons during the night.

Many thanks to Joey and Amber for a wonderful evening to celebrate our anniversary. The summer salad was watermelon with greens, with a great substitute of cantaloupe. The spinach salad dressing had a nice kick also. We ordered the Bronzino and the lamb chops both were delicious and nicely prepared. The garden was beautifully done, by the owner and his crew, and everything was laden with pride. We will return, we will bring friends, Many thanks again!

We dined at Genevieve's Kitchen recently. The food and atmosphere were amazing. The chef is friendly talented and his staff is delightful. We highly recommend this establishment

Been coming here for 2 years and I've never had a bad meal. Fresh and exciting. Restaurant is small and quaint - you will be close to other diners. But you will get personal service and the chef coming out with a smile. A true gem in Doylestown!

Had the "locals" dinner on Sunday night this past week. it was excellent. Entree selections were great and the price, $30 , for a 4 course meal was exceptional. The bread pudding dessert was yummy as well as the sweet potato soup. it is a BYOB. We requested the front room seating and it was delightful.

The food and service were just okay. not the best spot i've visited in doylestown. Food: My party shared the mushroom sandwich, salad, and filet mignon hash. I wasn't a fan of the filet mignon seasoning and the mushroom sandwich was just okay, but the salad was my favorite out of all three. Service: there weren't many workers so i completely understand there being a hefty delay on bringing things out. other notes: my cup had thick lipstick stains, and there were strange black specs in all of our hot waters. i think this portion will be the reason why i don't return.

I gave Genevieve's 5 stars for the terrific food but some improvements are needed. Started off with the rather large yogurt parfait that somehow came without any granola...like where's the granola?!? Sorry about that...we're out. Not so good; Still, lots of strawberries and delicious yogurt. The spinach and cheese omelette was one of the best I've had in a long, long time. Perfect. Great grilled sourdough bread. Great salad + fruit subbed out for the hash browns. Some of the best coffee (1/2 caff) I've had in some time. Too bad about the coffee cups being lipstick-free. Yeah...that's not so good but the food quality was so phenomenal I couldn't ding them enough to make this a 4-star review. Those quibbles are minor compared to the excellent food quality. Service was nice and the ambiance converted house...cozy. You're close to the James Mitchner / Mercer museum complex so this is a nice lunch/brunch stop.

Interesting restaurant with fresh food and not a large menu, which I love. Service was good. Nothing to write home about. Decent. The place is nice, small, but cozy.

What happened to this place? First, I see that I previously reviewed G's in 2014 and back then we got shoved to this crappy table staring at the kitchen; now nine years later and Viola -- same table. We had a group of six, so they said they couldn't seat us in the (empty) dining room. We had guests from Congo and France...come on man, we're trying to show them the best of Doylestown! You are a SERVICE business. Shoved into the crappiest table in the place with only a view of the dirty kitchen. The "bread and oil" was embarrassing to serve to our guest from France!! The bread was stale and tasteless. So bad. Embarrassingly stale. As we awaited our appetizers, the owner, who was also the cook that we had a terrible view of, came out in what looked like dirty pajamas and actually called the place "this dump" in front of us and our international guests! We were mortified. The only saving grace was the food, which was pretty good. NOT worth writing home about, but plenty good and hot. No complaints about the entrees themselves. At dessert, we ordered coffee. It came out room temperature. So we asked for a heat-up. The waitress, nice enough, but not a real service pro, told us how the coffee maker was acting up, etc. Really? $65 a plate in a restaurant in the heart of Doylestown and you can't make .... coffee???? When dessert finally arrived, she tossed the forks in a pile on the table. So, the entree was tasty, but man, everything else was like a bad day at Ruby Tuesday. Just bad, especially for the price and for the expectation. Really disappointing. Scratch Genevieve's off the list. We won't go back. Too many other good choices in the area. But I'll leave with simple free advice that will cost NOTHING to implement and will make a huge difference in keeping future customers: 1. Serve good, fresh, warm bread. Go to Simple Fresh down the street and get it. They have an incredible selection of fresh breads. 2. Serve the women first -- the sign of a restaurant that gets it. 3. Take the extra five seconds and place the silverware on the table; don't chuck it. 4. Make good coffee. It's not hard. 5. Engage with your customers. You are charging $14 for a handful of lettuce and $35 for a small pork chop. This is not TGIFriday's. THINK SERVICE! 6. Don't call your establishment a dump in front of your customers who are about to spend over $300 at your dump, 7. Step up your service game. You are not Red Robin!

We went to celebrate a special evening at Genevieve's Kitchen in Doylestown this evening and are so glad we did. Chef Joey personally came to all the tables to check on his guests. The ambience was incredible. Walking through the front door you are greeted by a fireplace and wooden tables with flowers on top. The restaurant is inside of a house which gave it a really warm, welcoming feeling. The food was some of the best, if not the best, in Doylestown. The crab cakes were incredible, filled with fresh lump crab meat and very little filler. Chef recommended the filet, which came out perfectly charred, medium rare and very well presented. Thank you to the staff for creating such a special experience, from being greeted at the front door to getting to speak with the Chef and ask for recommendations, it made for a truly delicious and special evening. We can't wait to return. Ryan and Lauren 10.23.2

Service was fast and the food came out quickly. The food was good with everything cooked perfectly. Restaurant is smaller in the inside. Make sure to make a reservation.

Excellent food, and service. Menu changes seasonally. Parking can be tough. They have a crab melt that is to die for.

sunday Night is a fixed menu with No vegetarian option on offer. After some discussion we were offered vegetarian burger or pasta and veget with olive oil. Don't go here unless you eat meat!

Great restaurant love sitting outside in the garden in nice weather great brunch selections also great for dinner also

Food is really fantastic, but it is a small menu so make sure it meets your dietary restrictions. The outdoor area is so quiet and private and nice. The service is great. Wonderful spot

Table of 6 for dinner - did not disappoint! The short ribs and linguini - melt in your mouth - and the gluten-free crab cakes were out of this world. Everyone enjoyed their entrees and the desserts were perfection. Will definitely be back!

Wow it's so hot I thought I'll have a salad, but the menu was so appetizing I had to get something more. I got the arugula salad with feta cheese and balsamic vinagrette followed with the omelette apparently it's different everyday, todays with sweet Italian sausage, hash browns and fresh fruit it was absolutely delicious Professionally served by Rosie I will be back to try out the rest of the menu

We went for a brunch and the food was amazing. We were promptly seated and the service was excellent. A cozy little spot that will definitely visit again.

Joe is a superstar and his food is outstanding! Service is always on point and the atmosphere can't be beat!

FANTASTIC food, you truly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is delicious. Great service. Wonderful ambiance, very charming inside and a beautiful outdoor seating area. My absolute favorite restaurant. Can't recommend highly enough.

Great farm to table! Everything is so fresh and delicious! Never disappoints regardless of what day you choose. Eating inside or outside, the service is amazing. "BYOB" too! Be ready for a terrific experience. The quaint indoor rooms are so beautiful.

Genevieve's is easily our favorite place for a nice evening or morning out in Doylestown. Chef Joey is an AMAZING chef and a master of his craft. The customer service is top notch. The ambiance is just so classy, and the outdoor dining is easily the best I've ever seen. I promise, if you stop into Genevieve's Kitchen you will not be disappointed. And Chef Joey will be at your table to personally greet you and make sure that you loved your meal.

Great atmosphere/ambiance outside. Chef is very interactive. Food was excellent. Cool live music playing also. Great dinner.

Great open faced Reuben sandwich and stuffed French toast. Attentive service. Charming dining room.

Enjoyed our dinner for locals night. Good service. Wish they just served dinner with bread. Nice byob

We went after thanksgiving and they had decorated for the holidays and it was very atmospheric. Almost romantic even during the day. The service was fast, friendly, helpful, and just over all very pleasant. I highly recommend a reservation but if your party is small (2 or less) they normally try to fit you in. The food is some of the best in town. Very unique take on traditional items, some more special to them plates, and everything is very flavorful. Overall, highly recommended.

G's offers delicious food and friendly service. Joe is an amazing person. Very cute place.

good place. food is very well cooked and presented. nice variety of seafood dishes. staff was friendly. dining room is very nice, quiet as we like.

This was a cute little spot that me and my friend had gone to while we were out venturing through Bucks County on Yelps Road-trip. My friend had chosen this spot and it was a good choice. The staff were very friendly and seated us right away. They had a set brunch menu with a pretty good variety of foods to choose from. There were eggs to burgers and the special for the day was a chicken salad sandwich on brioche, which the waitress had said had walnuts, grapes, apples and raisins on it. As soon as she mentioned the special I knew I wanted it. The sandwich also came with French fries. My friend had ordered a grilled cheese sandwich that was made with all different types of cheese and I believe had mushrooms on it. The food came out so quickly and was so tasty. The brioche bread was buttery and so fresh and grilled perfectly and had a great crunch to it. The chicken salad was also flavorful and the sandwich was filling. My friend also ordered the truffle fries and they were so tasty, hot and fresh. We ended up drinking water and I ordered a lemonade. The lemonade tasted more like a sparkling fizzy drink like a soda more than what lemonade I'm used to but was surprisingly refreshing. I was shocked to know they didn't serve soda, because a soda would've paired better with the sandwich-- but I was still very satisfied. Overall I would definitely come back and eat here again if I'm ever in this area. Maybe I'll come back and try their dinner.

Excellent food, a great date night place very intimate small restaurant with excellent service. The menu is very fresh and exciting.

It's been a few months since we last dined here, but it was another outstanding meal. We eat at Genevieve's a few times per year (we're locals) and I haven't had a meal yet that failed to impress. Gail, our server, was so welcoming and friendly. She was attentive without hovering and seemed genuinely pleased to have us as customers. We'll be asking for her by name when we're back again. Do yourself a favor - dine at this BYOB if you can. Yes, space can be cramped (it's an old building with lots of character), but the food and the service are outstanding. Don't miss out!

The food is always delicious and the service is top notch. I highly recommend this place. Inside is a but small so i recommend outdoor seating. Great atmosphere.

Very nice casual spot in Doylestown. Service is always excellent as well as the food. Owner/chef is always present and personable.

Great food and caring chef! We love coming here when we can. Sitting in the backyard is a lot of fin!

This is an adorable little restaurant nestled in an old historic building. Service was great and the food was fresh. The food was oddly under seasoned but maybe we got it on an off night. We had a nice time in this romantic little spot. Good place to come for a nice glass of wine and some good conversation.

I had the best Osso Buco here at Genevieve's. It's a Doylestown treasure. Brunch is also wonderful.

Food fantastic! We went for brunch. Service great, very attentive. Took off star because soup was too pricey.

The best brunch food I have encountered in my thirty-five year existance on this planet! All the items are unique enough that I support the decision to travel over one hour to this establishment, hey guys its also right on the main strip of Doylestown so you can walk around and shop in an awesome area or take in a movie right across the street, you can see the theater from the location where we sat right in front of the window. bbq chicken benny - A terrific bbq flavor, (think spice but not your typical bbq spice more so a tabisco light feeling sauce with great flavor) all white meat chicken with a poached egg on an English muffin. Our table also ordered the Duck hash skillet. The duck was crispy and my god what a tremendous decision by the chef to prepare it this way! So delectable, the pototoes were also exceptional which I normally stay away from for a brunch option but these taste very clean and healthy. Last meal option we tried was the wild mushroom omelette. Wow, I am a huge fan of wild mushrooms and you definitely can't order this item at Denny's, IHOP, Jack in the box, or insert your typical chain restaurant. All items at this place are farmed with care and prepared with passion! I will be back you can count on that. Definitely recommend coming early or making reservations not a ton of seating but that also adds to the craft ambiance for this historic building.

Stopped in for lunch on Mothers Day-they found a table for us despite being fully booked for the holiday. Wonderful lunch; I had the Kobe burger and my wife had chicken salad with scallop/sweet potato soup. All was excellent and we look forward to returning for dinner outside during warmer weather. The food is a cut above most restaurants.

Ambience in their garden; service and the best food in Doylestown- truly excellent; chef/owner always chats with you. We love this restaurant

Just went back with a friend and again- the food was noteworthy. I got the shrimp tacos and they were spicy -crispy and served in thin flour tortillas with crunchy slaw on top. Generous serving of hand cut fries to go with. My friend got the avocado Benedict and said it was delicious. We shared a slice of key lime pie- creamy and a nice balance of tart to sweet. Staff is friendly and accommodating. BYOB and a nice garden patio out back!

This was worth the 50 minute drive!!!! Came here for restaurant week and will have to come back soon! The food was awesome! The wild boar meatballs were delish. It was well seasoned and full of flavor, just perfect. Then I had the Arctic char! Yummm! Crispy skin with some mussels and potatoes in a light red sauce. It's a cute small establishment in a cute town. It is BYOB! The owner was awesome/friendly. He came out to check on our meals and even delivered our food. Service was great. Food was even better!!

Street side Paella. Divine. Streets closed and great scene. Beautiful night to be put and find nice food.

The food is good with an interesting if somewhat limited menu. It's a tiny charming place right in the middle of town across from the movie theater. We were only unhappy there once and that was due their admonishment when we booked that we'd have to leave by 8:30 so they could seat another party. Sure enough at 8:15 they reminded us unceremoniously and hustled us out quickly. It tends to leave a sour note although we'll probably return owing to the short list of good eateries in Doylestown.

Such a cutie brunch spot in the heart of Doylestown! It's a small quaint family owned restaurant - love that. Came here on Mother's Day brunch, we were able to get a ressy about a week before. It's also byob! The menu is small, but that's when you know it's fresh and delish. Service was good and it's affordable for what you get! I recommend!

Delicious food and cozy atmosphere. I enjoyed the spinach salad with fried pecan-crusted goat cheese and then butternut squash mascarpone ravioli with shrimp for dinner. I could not get over how well balanced the sauce was for the ravioli- amazing. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic Mothers Day brunch. The food and service was excellent. We will be returning very soon.

We are huge fans of this darling restaurant, and we went again this past weekend with some great friends. The chef/owner, Joe, goes out of his way to make everyone feel at home, and his cooking is outstanding. He makes gnocchi like they're clouds, little delicious delectable clouds. My wife had a bowl of corn and crabmeat chowder that proved simply "devine." The crostini was mouth-watering, the filet tender, tasteful, and perfectly cooked (medium rare), and the veal-and-pepper bolognese exceptional. Thank you, Joe, for another fabulous meal!

I'll start by saying this place would get 4-5 stars if the service were better. It's in a cute building that looks like a former house. The layout is narrow but welcoming. The food? Fabulous brunch! I got an omelette. My bf got a great waffle with pork belly and sriracha. This dish was spectacularly flavored! About the service: SLOW. Meaning: we waited 20 minutes to order food...as did the other 2 tables in our room. One table asked each other, "What are we doing here? Eating? Let's leave the waitress seems to have forgotten." The waitress, who was very nice, apologized as they left and promptly took the orders of the 1 remaining table and us. The food came out after about 20 minutes. The entire visit was 1 hour 20 minutes...and the place wasn't busy. Good food. But tooooo slow!

Such a great restaurant. A great atmosphere, superb service and amazing dishes. Very cozy inside... And the outdoor patio seating is great!

Cramped and Loud... With other diners so close and none of the staff in masks it's hard to feel COVID safe here. And if you have the misfortune of a screaming child near your table you can forget about having a conversation. Too bad, because I liked the food. But there's more to dining out than the food.
