   I’ve been raving about Genesis House since it opened, and it used to be one of my favorite spots. I’ve even been to the Connaught Bar in London, considered the #1 bar in the world, and honestly, Genesis House was right up there for me. I loved their seasonal cocktails and food menu—it was always an incredible experience. However, after my visit this past weekend, I was deeply disappointed. They’ve changed the chef, staff, and bartender, and unfortunately, it shows. The new food menu lacks the same quality and creativity, and the cocktails just don’t compare to what they used to be. It’s heartbreaking to say this because I’ve been such a loyal fan, but I don’t see myself returning. The magic that made this place so special is gone.

   Service staff, ambiance, and food is fantastic, but management is extremely lackluster. The front of house managers struggle to complete relatively straightforward tasks expected from restaurant operators - issues include (i) difficulty using OpenTable-provided rewards, (ii) double charging on a credit card, and (iii) inability to provide a system-voided receipt. I expected better from a restaurant operating prix-fixe menus at $60+.

   Food was not great and service was not great. Restaurant was basically empty and yet it still took time to be served

   Great experience. Unbelievable atmosphere, service and food. Only dish I did not care for were the beef pancakes. Tasteless. All else top notch

   Genesis House is a gem! It is tucked above the Genesis showroom but the space is very spacious and beautiful. My friend and I went there for lunch on a Thursday and it was so nice and quiet unlike some restaurants where you cannot hear yourselves talk. We opted for outdoor seating since it was a nice day and feared that we may not get enough attention but our server (Nick) was very attentive and helped us through the process of deciding which dishes to have. We went with a la carte menu and shared several plates which was a good amount. The food was delicate Korean and we enjoyed everything. They had a vast selection of teas and the tea vessels were hand made and added to the whole experience. (Everyone there was very kind and friendly) Highly recommend!
