We always love going to Genos, now Pearl Street Steakhouse! Ever since the new owners took over, it's one of our favorite places to dine! I ALWAYS get a steak, but their Brussel Sprouts are out of this World. Highly recommend!

New decor, still great food under new ownership. I saw the reviews about poor service so was pleasantly surprised to have attentive staff too. Great place for a nice dinner!

I'm still dreaming about the Chicken Alfredo. It was the best I've ever had! We visited an a quiet evening with only a few other patrons. The service was great. I'll be requesting a menu to place in our short term rental to encourage our guests to treat themselves to a delicious meal ♡

Attended a graduation party in one of the back rooms. Our server was very friendly and made several trips and checked up on us multiple times. There was another party going on at the same time along with regular customers coming and going and I was very impressed with how fast we were served. The meals cost a little more than I was expecting, but they were big servings and tasted great.

Parking: There were spots in front of the restaurant and more spots across the street lining almost the whole block. There were also a few spots around the side of the building where you'll find the handicap accessible entrance.

Mahi mahi is my favorite, but you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! Weekend evenings are busy- so make a reservation- but it’s worth the wait and it’s busy for a reason. Steve, Brittany, and staff do an amazing job.

I had the 16 oz ribeye, it was cooked perfectly. The grilled vegetables were an excellent edition. The plating could have been better...they were very busy and the food more than made up for it . My wife enjoyed her patty melt too. We will definitely be back.

This has been a long time loved jewel of our city. The past and present owners have both been amazing. They always go above and beyond for their customers. You will leave feeling full and well taken care of during your dining experience.

It’s kind of ridiculous to call this a “steakhouse”. The food is mediocre at best, and surprisingly lacking in many respects; the salad is lettuce in a bowl, the steak is a piece of meat, the vegetables are probably reheated from frozen, and the potatoes are nothing notable; even the butter is kind of flavourless. The “salad bar” is a joke. The service is only average; you can expect to wait a lot and be ignored often. Specifically as to the steaks themselves, they are not anything special and are not prepared in any way that makes them more interesting or memorable; it’s just a piece of meat that’s been cooked. The non-steak options didn’t look particularly appealing, either. I’d avoid the fish. Overall, Geno’s can be summed up as being identical to food made at your aunt who hates to cook and has no talent for it anyway’s house. It’s dull, uninspiring, and definitely overpriced.Honestly, you’d be better off just buying things at the store and making them at home. You’d pay a lot less (Geno’s is ridiculously overpriced for what you get), and can dress up your own food the way you want it, doing crazy, nutty things like adding garlic and onion to your mashed potatoes, or some flavourful butter and sour cream to your baked potato, using different varieties of lettuce and vegetables in your salad, and steaming fresh broccoli or roasting it in olive oil and garlic. You know, completely insane things that nobody does to food. Well, nobody at Geno’s.

My $40 MR steak was overcooked to almost wedium well and the waitstaff had no idea what to do about it.. they dont like to talk or joke with tables and thats how you earn tips.. people stare and make ya feel uncomfortable when you laugh or have a good time.. parking is hard to get a spot when ya compete with the bars for parking spots. Had a table of 6 and we got served after other tables got their food which we ordered before.. the menu is expensive but ill be back to try other things that aren't the steak. Chef Webber is a good chef and I believe things will get ironed out.

My wife and I visited 12/28/2023 for our wedding anniversary. My wife had the Blackened Mahi Mahi which she shared a bite with me, I thought it was delicious. I had the 15oz Prime Rib with hashbrowns. I would definitely recommend both entrees! We also ordered appetizers bbq wings and Calamari. The wings were delious and had plenty of meat on them. The Calamari was probably the best I have had, I order it every place we eat that have it. They were very tender and not rubbery what so ever. Both appetizers photos were taken after we started to eat them. Portions were great! We will definately be returning more excellent food and friendly staff. We had two different Mascotos both were delious, one had a bit more bubbles than the other. Our waitress was very nice, polite and friendly.
