Dude,,, unreal culinary experience. Took mama on a windy rainy Friday evening. Super lucky to get a table w/out a reservation. Luckily seated right in front of a open space to watch Chef Joey and Chef Blake passionately create their dishes in their kitchen. Sheeps milk ricotta on amazing crostini topped with oyster mushrooms was bonkers. Not heavy, so flavorful, gorgeous presentation. Mushroom stuffed gnocchi, duck confit, brandy spinach broth was one of the best entrees I've ever had in my life. No joke. I was smiling the entire meal. Special place. Byob. Amazing staff. . Cannot wait to go again. read more

Reserved seating for a Thursday night outdoor (Covid 19 style). They did a great job with distancing the tables. Our group of five had its own little alcove, which made it feel private. Food was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back. read more

Love this adorable quaint little place! The flavors in the dishes were fantastic! I had an off the menu option of the salmon, green beans, and polenta... which was perfect for me. Husband had pumpkin filled gnocchi served with duck and wow was that an amazing dish!! Also it's BYOB which makes it extra convenient!! The staff is great and the Chef makes his way around the restaurant making small talk with the guests, which adds that homie personal touch!! I loved this place and I'm so happy we stumbled upon it! read more

Genevieve's Kitchen - Off the menu Salmon Dish offered - New American Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

We made late reservations on a Friday night and the staff were wonderful about accommodating us. I ordered the calamari to start and unfortunately it was a bit greasy for me. Thankfully, my main meal, stuff duck breast, was amazing over risotto freekah. Great meal and ambiance. I would love to try out their seasonal menu in the near future. read more

Genevieve's Kitchen - New American Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

One of my favorite restaurants in Doylestown. Overall, not too pricy. Is a byo (which I love). While the menu is limited, the food is delicious. It's a farm to table concept with locally sourced ingredients which I like. If you have a small party ask for the window seat up front. read more

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. read more

I have only been to Genevieves a handful of times but the food and service is always excellent. The old building that it is in provides the perfect cozy atmosphere. read more

The main reason I deducted stars from the review was due to the awful attitude from the inhabitants of Doylestown. I have never encountered such judgmental and arrogant set of people. I probably will never come to this sorry excuse for a downtown- go to Newtown or New Hope: better people and better vibe. I went here for brunch with a few friends. The food was fantastic. The service was warm and genuine. We also loved that it is a BYOB. But what ruined it for us were groups of people who arrived after us and were more concerned with our good time and judging it. I'm sorry- just because you live in Doylestown doesn't mean walking into brunch looking like a slob in yoga pants is acceptable. I have had continual bad experiences in Doylestown where these residents seem to think they are the creme de la creme, ummm no you are not. If we didn't have such a sour experience due to the patrons, I probably would give this place close to five stars. read more

Brunch was delicious. I had the avocado eggs Benedict on sourdough bread and limoncello cake for dessert. The chef came out to introduce himself. read more

This was my first time dining here. I had reserved patio dining not knowing what the setting was. To my surprise I was very delighted; it was very quaint and charming out back. The menu was on one page but had plenty of options for me decide on. I chose for main course the spicy pork which was so tender. This came with mashed potatoes and asparagus but since I am allergic to asparagus, they substituted with broccolinni. I was very pleased with my dish. The servers and the chefs were very nice. I would definitely go back. Also it's a BYO so this is a huge plus! One of the chef said that they have great brunch, so I would definitely check that out. read more

New Year's takeout dinner was excellent! Filet mignon was perfectly cooked. Everything was still hot when we arrived home. The cheese cake and flourless chocolate cake are very good. Couldn't have found a better dinner! read more

Love some of the selection on the menu. Everything is fresh made wish is nice. Prices are a little higher than I'd like but again, it's freshly made. Not bad service and chef is owner. Will continuing going to try their seasonal menus. read more

It's a sweet spot, seating for maybe 10 tops in the dinning area. No multi page menu it's simple, the food healthy (most of it) and the staff helpful. read more

Genevieve's Kitchen - Avocado toast with egg and fries - New American Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

I have been here on two occasions once with my dad for dinner in the other time with my coworkers for a holiday celebration dinner. Everything is freshly prepared if you enjoy organic fresh homemade cuisine's. read more

Perfect stop for a tasty breakfast/brunch or a sweet luncheon with a friend. Bright and sunny. Super fresh. Eat outside in good weather.

Limited premium menu but sadly kitchen doesn't pull it off. Bison bolognese craggy texture. Acidic red wine in bolognese overpowering. Crab soup appetizer had just crab flavor, no crab. Pork shank with simply unseasoned and actually over braised. No texture falls apart. Middle eastern seasoning somehow not put together right, flavorless. One appetizer was worth the $, a pound of mushrooms on huge slice of brioche with an egg in the pocket. Pass. read more

I hope that when you wish a delischious lunch you will check their web page and see when their busy times may be to avoid a wait . Good food and much of it read more

I'm not sure how to describe Genevieve's... a casual atmosphere with a menu / prices approaching fine dining. For starters, we tried the shrimp bisque and watermelon salad. Nice portions but the bisque contained three small shrimp (should it have more or none?) and the salad was lettuce on top of watermelon slices. Both good but not special. For entrees, we ordered the seared duck breast. The portions were small and flavor was good, again not special. Dessert was better ... a delicious lemoncello cake. Service was very good but we were surprised that none of the staff were wearing masks in this pandemic, making us uncomfortable. (We almost walked out after being seated.) Three stars sums it up. read more

BYOC (bring your own champagne) they supply the OJ! Great brunch! The short ribs (very tender) and polenta are delicious and the truffle fries too!(you actually taste the truffle, huge plus!) Very small place, Reservations needed! read more

My wife and I went to Genevieve's for lunch today and we LOVED it! The outdoor seating was a great experience. The waiters service was exceptional!! The owner came out and introduced himself which was nice. The food was fantastic!!!! Highly recommend Genevieve's read more

My husband and I came here for lunch while we were in Doylestown for the afternoon -- we were drawn in by the menu options and the lovely orange awning outside. The entry is a bit funny (the front door leads into what's essentially an apartment lobby, and the entry to the restaurant is the door at the back) but the inside of the restaurant is lovely and very inviting. We were seated right away and opted to sit on the patio outside. It's very cozy and quiet, which we loved. Just a note that there are only two tables fully under a roof/in the shade. Our table had an umbrella, but you'll still feel the sun on you depending on the angle -- just something to consider! Everyone we interacted with was so friendly, and service was quick. It was still brunch time, but we both got lunch: I ordered the lobster grilled cheese (comes with a side salad) and a sparkling lemonade, while the husband got the burger and fries with a sparking ginger drink. My grilled cheese was great: jam-packed with lobster meat and several different kinds of cheeses. It was very rich and yummy. I will say that I didn't love the inclusion of the spinach in the sandwich as the texture didn't quite fit with the rest of the sandwich, but it was still so good. Unfortunately, the husband wasn't as impressed with his burger -- he asked for it medium and it was still quite rare when he got it. He also said the bottom bun was very thick but also crumbly, like it was stale. It almost looked like cornbread? Despite his disappointment with the meal, he did love his ginger drink, which I tried and also liked. Overall, this was a great pick for a quick lunch right in the heart of Doylestown. I'd definitely consider coming back if I pass through here again. read more

Stopped in last night, delicious. Salmon, pork chop and filet were great, not just good. My salmon was exceptional. We'll be back. Do hope they upgrade the olive oil, though, very bland. Spinach not so hot. read more

Amazing food! You'll want to lick your plate clean! Tasty combinations and slightly outside the box dishes that are like heaven in your mouth! The chef is VERY talented! If going in the warmer months, request to sit outside. The indoor dining area is very snug. read more

What a lovely, cozy, quaint, adorable storefront BYOB I found to broaden my Doylestown restaurant experience. Damn I wish this place was in my neighborhood. Other than the noise level from only 5 other older people sitting next to us, who had no regard nor respect toward fellow diners with their voices getting louder and louder to attempt to speak over one another, the atmosphere, the room (the front room) was charming. The new fall menu was presented to us from our excellent, knowledgeable server and from the special butternut squash soup (savory, not sweet nor nutmeg-y, just the way I like it), the farro salad with the burrata (melt in your mouth) cheese, then the lamb shank (tender, flavorful, fall off the bone) over creamy polenta, and the rosemary lemon stuffed branzino (light and fresh) over mashed potatoes, everything was wonderful and my palate was impressed. I can't wait to go back. Thank you, Genevieve. read more

Phenomenal! Homemade pasta, need I say more?My wife and I went to Genevieve's for the first time and we were blown away. We ordered the goat cheese stuffed meatball and arugula salad to start. Best meatball I've ever had. All meatballs should be stuffed with goat cheese! For dinner we had halibut over pumpkin marscapone ravioli. What!? Out of bounds! (Sorry to get all Guy Fieri on you) Also, the most perfect braised beef short ribs over fresh ribbon pasta. Mmmmmmmm. Our plan was to try a different Doylestown restaurant every month. Now, we are just going to try different thing off of Genevieve's menu every month. The restaurant is quaint and inviting. Make a reservation and ask to sit by the window. Enjoy! read more

Need to work out the growing pains. This restaurant has a lot of potential but needs some work: speed of service, kids menu or knowledgable servers on portions for kids, a distinct entryway to know where to come in. I hope they will make changes and we can try again. read more

I'm updating my review of this place and taking a star away. My wife and I stopped by for lunch today. Our experience was not as expected-- An overly dressed Kale Salad, and this is after my wife specifically asked for very light dressing upon ordering. Also, I ordered an iced tea which came in a small rocks glass. When I asked for a refill, my waiter told me there would be a charge. Ridiculous. Won't be going back for awhile. Too much else out there to explore. read more

We took my mother here for brunch for her birthday yesterday. The setting was so charming- in an old home. First we ordered an appetizer of the Crostini with smoked salmon and trout pate- it was really delicious. For the main entree, I had a kale salad with a poached egg on top. My sister had the fritata and my mother had the avocado toast with scrambled eggs. All of the food was delicious and very fresh. When I called to make the reservation, I told them it was my mothers bday. At the end of our lunch, Genevieve came out to great us to and to offer my mom some dessert. I thought it was such a nice touch. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I am from Doylestown but no longer live here - I wish I were in the area more so I could try their dinner menu! read more

Genevieve's Kitchen - Crostini with smoked salmon and trout pate - New American Near Me - Doylestown, Pennsylvania

Delicious, fresh, food cooked perfectly. 5 stars all the way. Best food in Bucks or Montgomery County.

From beginning to end, the meal was wonderful. Everything was fresh, presentation was beautiful and the atmosphere was perfection. My husband and I sat outside and thought it was very romantic. The twinkling lights and delicious food made for a perfect evening. We started with the steamed clams and spring salad. The portions were just right. I had the spring orecchiette with peas and my husband had the branzino. We were very happy with our entrees. They were fresh and full of flavor. We ended the evening with cheesecake and the strawberry crisp with ice cream. Sitting outside on a warm night, it was the perfect ending to a delicious meal. We highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Yes! Wonderful food, nice atmosphere. Lobster grilled cheese!!! It reminds me of restaurants in Brooklyn Heights. The converted house feel is cozy and you overlook the downtown activity. The owner is very friendly and the service warm and inviting. read more

This was an enjoyable experience,the food was delicious and the service okay. There was only a minimum choice of food but the food you order is tremendous. If you are planning in advance you should definitely make a reservation especially in the morning/afternoon. The service was okay, desent but not extraordinary. read more

We had brunch here today and loved everything about it. The menu was covered with so many tempting dishes, what we ordered was one just fabulous, the service was professional, plentiful and gave great guidance, and the restaurant was just charming and adorable. I can't wait to go back for dinner, have another fabulous meal there and sit in their inviting outside. read more

Always a great meal! Genevieve's never disappoints. Quality ingredients, creative menu, great atmosphere. One of our favorite restaurants.

Lovely ambiance, helpful staff and some of the better food I've had in downtown Doylestown. I had the orchiette (they call it ears or something) and added prosciutto. It was great. Husband had the burger and father had the pasta w clam sauce (it's massive). Mine was the favorite of the table. The clam sauce is a red sauce and I think would be more interesting if another base were used. Overall a lovely experience read more

First time but won't be our last time. Really good food, and a great atmosphere. We went for brunch and will be back for dinner. Ask for a table not near the back patio door as this was a high traffic area. read more

I'm newer to the Doylestown area and was told to visit Genevieve's as it is a great local BYOB restaurant. So I made a reservation for seven for our ladies night this past weekend. We came in two groups as one group was coming from an event. The waitress sat the four of us as we waited for the rest to show up and that was the last we saw of her for awhile. Our friends were running late and apparently it their policy not to even wait on customers until the entire group shows up. I even stopped her as she walked past several times without acknowledging us and asked if we could just order some apps for the table to have them ready for when the rest of the group arrived? "No, you have to order your apps and dinner at the same time." Did I mention that we also had to get our own ice bucket for wine, request some ice and water? So when our group arrived (yes, I know they were late and that's on us) she finally came over and couldn't seem more annoyed with us. We ordered mostly appetizers to share and a couple a meals which through completely off and came with an eye roll. Finally when it all came out, she forgot one of the apps and tried to charge us for it. The food was just okay and frankly overpriced for the quality. When came time to pay (Note) they only take 2 credit cards, we gave specific instructions on how much to put on each card. She reversed them and charged too much on they wrong cards. If your policy is to only take two credit cards you better charge the correct amount on the correct card. Then as we were finally leaving the restaurant the chef came out, I said thank you to him as I walked out and he asked if we enjoyed ourselves and I said we did. Then...yeah, it certainly sounded like you enjoyed yourselves...in that snarky annoyed way. Needless to say, none of us will be returning to eat. read more

I really like the concept. The menus is interesting. Funky home decor works for the area . Mostly stay at home moms trying to pretend they are eating healthy. At least that's the crowd I've seen at lunch. The service is professional. But the food. First they were out of many menu items. Then I ordered and my guest and I where asked if we could alter our choices or would we mind if the substituted some of the ingredients. Now both our meals were good but not really what I wanted. So, yes I will try it again but..... read more

Horrible horrible and more horrible. Had the worst experience here. Waitress was horrible. There was only one chef. Extremely understaffed and unorganized. We left without having eaten our entres. We ordered soup and it was again horrible. I don't recommend this place. read more
