Fantastic Experiance all around!

The experience was fabulous from the moment we entered to the time we left. We sat out on the deck which was just perfect for a warm night. Everyone ordered different items from the menu and ended up sharing...

Disgruntled Chef?

Dont be fooled by the review below. The last review was obviously written by someone who knows a little too much info about the on goings of Genia's Restaurant (possibly a disgruntled employee???). I've had...

Owners blew out

Word on the street is that the owner lost control when a server dropped a pitcher and fired everyone, accused them of everything but murder and hired back the profanity screaming chef. I'm not going back! One...

What does decor have to do with it?

We ate at Genia's several weeks ago. I have eaten there prior to the current chef so obviously the previous review was written by a friend of the last chef that screamed obscenities while we dined. We loved...

Avoid this train wreck

Let me first start off by saying that I liked the previous decor due it's romantic ambiance and cozy feel. The new design is ok, but seems to be a bit colder and impersonal. I do not understand the reason as...

Fabulous dining experience!

Chef Amy does a great job: dishes that are delicious, not overwhelming (some chefs overdo it), uses fresh, high quality ingredients, and I am STILL dreaming about her huckleberry dessert! I had a wonderful...

A five star secret! Genias is a

Chef Amy Jermain hits a home run with her Starters including the Trout Salad with Latkes and Farmer's Fresh Greens. We just thought we were experiencing a bit of culinary heaven but were taken to a new plateau...

Very good, but not 5 star

I've eaten at Genia twice before and twice after they've found their new chef. The food has taken a remarkable turn for the better since the change. We dined on Valentine's Day. I think the restaurant is...

A new star in Lake Oswego is born

Classy, comfortable and simply wonderful. We had been there once before when it was Amadeus and was not impressed with either the food or the service. What a difference!! The service was spectacular, and the...

If this is French, I'll eat my chapeau

I recently had a business trip to the charming village of Lake Oswego, a bit south of Portland, ORE. I always try to find French cuisine on my travels and used CitySearch to find this place. I'm not sure if...

A real disappointment and extremely overpriced

We were so excited to try this place when a friend raved about the live music. Our first disappointment: they discontinued live music. We stayed anyway, and had a passable dinner (me pork, my husband veal)...

Worst...experience...ever

Well, I took the advice of the others here and had quite possibly the worst dining experience of my life. First of all, the "chef" ((I use the term loosely) is literally working behind a curtain hung up by the...

change of venue, quality , cuisine

1 year ago, after trying Genia's a few times, we wrote a "recommended review". However, the past 2 times, Genia's has not been able to meet prior expectations. It's unfortunate, as we really try to support the...

I almost hate to write a review because then everyone will know my new favorite restaurant!

A hidden jewel!

New French chef combines dishes that you don't see everyday (venison, elk, rabbit, kobe beef) with great presentations. I've had most things on the menu and each is cooked perfectly with comlimentary side...
