    a plate of spaghetti and meatballs
    Sloan R.

    Amazing experience here tonight. Truly felt like an "at home" getaway. The history of the restaurant was explained to us by our delightful waitress and we were given a complimentary tiramisu because it was our first time. This place is a hidden Monroe treasure. Loved supporting this family business (since 1964) and enjoying homemade spaghetti. We will definitely be back.

    Geno's is a family owned Italian restaurant. I'm more of an Olive Garden type guy, but if you want home cooked Italian, then try Geno's.

    Very disappointing. Very small portions for lunch and way overpriced for what you get. Will not be returning

It is a truly magnificent venue Cotton and it was understandably bustling with a very lively, chic Saturday crowd. The interior design is absolutely exquisite. I was deeply impressed by the sophisticated decor and the stunning murals that grace the space. It had been quite some time since my last visit, and stepping back inside reminded me exactly why this place is an absolute standout. I was escorted to a wonderfully private table, which allowed for a perfectly serene dining experience despite how busy they were. The service was entirely impeccable from start to finish. I began the afternoon by speaking with my attentive waiter and ordering a classic Bloody Mary, which was mixed to absolute perfection. For my selection from the menu, I chose the Deviled Farm Eggs, and they were a total culinary triumph deeply satisfying and beautifully presented. Between the vibrant atmosphere, the flawless service, and the exceptional flavors, the experience deserved full marks. I am thoroughly delighted and will certainly not wait so long to return next time!

We started with the upside down chicken Caesar salad with fries. Delicious. Fries could've been hotter but the salad was the star. A meal on its own but i love that red fish so much. So seasoned, beautiful meaty fish, mmm. The service was wonderful and the sweet tea was delicious. I will always come here if I'm in town!

    Great Seafood, But Service Needs Work…read more I've been to this seafood spot a few times, and the food is always amazing -- fresh, flavorful, and well worth the money. The crab legs and shrimp are some of the best I've had in a long time, and the portions are generous. That said, the service during my last visit was really disappointing. Our server, Ashley, forgot our food more than once and seemed irritated whenever we asked for help or updates. Everyone can have an off day, but the attitude and lack of attention really took away from what should've been a great dining experience. I'd still recommend this place for the food alone, but I really hope management takes a closer look at improving customer service. With better staff attitudes, this would easily be a five-star restaurant.

    I just saw a post where the owner tried to shame a customer for not tipping. Not tipping isn't…read moregreat but it's completely optional so to see a restaurant shame customers like that and tell customers that they are responsible for other peoples rent, medical bills etc when we all have those bills as well...that's not ok. I will not be back in that kind of environment esp not when I am on a trip and trying to find time to enjoy myself

Upon entering, I found the interior decor to be rather average and understated but do not let that fool you for a single moment. The true piece de resistance is the spectacular view of the Ouachita River just on the other side. It is absolutely magnificent, providing the most glorious backdrop that would be utterly perfect for an elegant evening out, a romantic date, or a refined family gathering. While the setting isn't overly fancy, the natural beauty of the river paired with the immense warmth of the staff makes it incredibly special. To commence our meal, I opted for a classic, perfectly chilled Martini, while my partner ordered the Watermelon Breeze both were thoroughly refreshing. As we sat chatting and taking in the scenery, we ordered the Shrimp and Grits along with a side of hush puppies. When the cuisine arrived, it was an absolute triumph. The flavors were entirely delicious, capturing the very best of Southern comfort. Between the breathtaking view, the flawless hospitality, and the exceptional food, this establishment is a true treasure. It deserves every bit of its five stars, and I shall most certainly be returning
