Moved here over 5 years ago from DC (a foodie city) and in that time I’ve had a hand full of meals that I would consider truly great. This would be one of them! Service matched the food in a cozy atmosphere. Even the home made soda was awesome. Hands down the best food, service and experience I’ve had in the years I’ve lived in CBUS. Do yourself a favor, try it.

Great experience, highly recommend this place to anyone else. Our server was Ivy, she was excellent. She made an excellent wine recommendation for us, as wine-noobs who aren't too fond of the tasted of alcohol. Food was great, unique flavors and quite creative.
Total after tip came out to ~$100 for 2 people. Decently filling.
Vegetarian options: There were a few vegan, vegetarian and nut-free options available at the time of review. The menu seemed seasonal so this may change.

Went to Gene's after some friends recommended it. I'll start by saying the service was outstanding, both the waitstaff and bartender were hustling and attentive the entire night. The venue is beautiful yet simple with a homey and intimate feel.
The food was generally quite delicious. We shared the crudo, fried mushrooms, ceasar salad, bacalo, and eggplant tonkatsu. From a preparation and presentation perspective, everything was outstanding. My only critique on the food was that the eggplant definitely needed more seasoning, specifically salt.
We will definitely be coming and consider this a gem in Old Dublin.

I have been to Gene’s a few times and thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience, staff, and atmosphere. If possible, sit outside on their patio! The menu does rotate and offers a selection where you cannot go wrong. The food is delicious, the staff is courteous, and the overall experience is amazing for any occasion. I recommend Gene’s to everyone!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Gene’s and will look forward to eating there again. The food was delicious, service was great and we loved the atmosphere. So fun to have a restaurant like this in Dublin.
My husband and I have dined at Gene’s twice so far, and the food, cocktails, and service were top-notch both times. The whole staff treated us like old friends. We look forward to dining at Gene’s again soon!
The service is attentive and first rate. Our server, George, was enthusiastic about the menu and made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed the creative food and fantastic cocktails. The vintage decor and high-end experience make Gene's our new favorite restaurant.

Food and service are great. We will be back exploring more items.
One thing to notice is it is a small restaurant and kind of cold sitting close to window. The tables are very close to each other. Conversations are heard from next table.

One of our new favorites for a special night out. The atmosphere is so cool, the interior space is pretty small but beautifully decorated, the outdoor seating seemed plentiful. The wine list is great and we’re glad we swung it for a whole bottle of Two Shepherds. The food is delightful. We got oysters which were super fresh, and the whipped ricotta toast for an app. My wife and I split the steak which was a nice size. It might be in the top 2 or 3 steaks I’ve ever had, truly divine. And the potato pave it was served over…*muah*. We finished with the corn custard for dessert which was just what the doctor ordered. It’s pricey, but if you split things, not as bad as you’d think. We will be back as many times as our wallets will let us
