Genie's At Hollands

Egg rolls, creamy vegetable soup, mixed salad, chicken curry, and mussels.

Food came out piping hot which I liked because there is nothing more disappointing than some luke warm soup. Mixed salad could have been a little more exciting. It had the standard lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot combo. Chicken curry was tasty but the sauce was thin and there could have been more of it. Egg rolls, vegetable soup, and the mussels were good but nothing to be wow’ed by.

Service was friendly and they have live piano music on the weekends which was enjoyable.

Following on from my last review (saved under 'Genie's restaurant') I can report that the food here has dramatically improved since my last visit.

As one of Genie's regulars I was on the guestlist for their Spring ball which took place last night. Every so often they hold one of these events and invite all their regulars. It is always a riotous night which inevitably ends up with people singing and dancing around the piano and the lovely pianist Ebonard Lysander.

And last night was no different. The place was packed and buzzing. Apart from hearing some great numbers from Ebonard, who plays here on Friday and Saturday nights, one of his pupils and a guest also took turns on the mike.

So back to the food. I ran into a friend of mine who said how delicious his Thai chicken curry had been and others raved about the spring rolls, made by Genie herself. They have also introduced a delicious new wine to the menu.
