We visited Genisa Wine Bar!

We visited Genisa Wine Bar!

What’s up Janesville, it’s Carly and I’m back with another food review this week! We visited Genisa Wine Bar located downtown in Janesville’s only historically preserved Italianate-style building on 11 N Main St.Although the outside of the building is historical, the inside is extremely modern and downright gorgeous. It took me a while to look around and fully ingest all of the details of my surroundings. We went around 3pm so only drinks and snack items were available, but this was more than enough to leave me satisfied with my experience. I ordered their Margherita Pizza consisting of delicious traditional red sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil cooked in a red Italian brick oven I could see from my table. Their Neo-Neapolitan dough is made with a living sourdough starter and takes about 3 days to prepare. It was extremely tasty and made for some good leftovers as well. We also got the Florentine Artichoke Dip made up of artichoke, kale, sarvecchio parmesan, and crostini. I’m a sucker for any artichoke dip so I of course loved this creamy appetizer. This was an overall lovely experience, the service was polite and timely, the food was amazing, and the atmosphere was to die for. Next time you’re looking for some good Italian food, you know where to go!

Rock Star Mural History

Rock Star Mural History

Hey Janesville, welcome back to my public art series! This week I’ll be covering the “Rock Stars” mural that was on the former record store, The Exclusive Company, on Milton Avenue. The chain closed in 2021 with the death of their founder, James Giombetti. The mural has since been painted over, but it’s still a part of Janesville History!The wall has been repainted a few times, the first mural had colorful depictions of music legends David Bowie, Bob Marley, Janis Joplin, and Miles Davis. This mural faded with time and inclement weather, so The Exclusive Company decided to repaint it with a more diverse and modern variety of artists. They had 3 artists attempt to repaint the mural, the first two giving up before finishing. Finally, the third artist Mitchell Highnam, an employee at The Exclusive Company, completed the mural in 2016. The black and white mural included musicians such as Nas, Kurt Cobain, Billie Holiday, Prince, Johnny Cash, and Bob Dylan.I wish I could say go check it out, but unfortunately the music mural has gone along with it’s record store...should there be a 4th attempt?Until next time Janesville!Source: The Janesville Gazette

We visited Sandee's Thai Fusion!

We visited Sandee's Thai Fusion!

Hope you’re hungry Janesville because we’re about to dive into a review of Sandee’s Thai Fusion, a popular downtown restaurant!Starting off right away, when we first walked into Sandee’s we were seriously transported to another world with the well-thought-out décor. It is stunning in there. The service was friendly, timely, and helpful. Our server had a lot of great recommendations with such a vast menu and the food came out really fast!Now I loveee Thai food so I would have enjoyed anything from the menu, so I went with a classic Pad Thia, and it did not disappoint. I’m also extremely happy to report that I successfully used chopsticks the entire meal! Sandee’s Pad Thai included rice noodles sautéed with eggs, scallions, onions, and carrots topped with bean sprouts and peanuts on the side. You also get to choose your protein, I went with chicken, but you can also get tofu, seafood, or extra veggies instead. Overall delicious meal that I would highly recommend. They DO NOT skimp on portion sizes either – I got a few meals out of this. Another thing I liked about this restaurant is you can pick the level of spiciness you want in your dish, so even if you have no tolerance for heat, you can still enjoy many menu items.The other dish we ordered was a recommendation from our server, the Pad Prik Pow. This included colorful peppers, carrots, onions and basil leaves in sweet chili paste sauce with your choice of protein. Jake went with chicken but as mentioned earlier, you can also get tofu, seafood, or extra veggies instead. This must have been a great recommendation because Jake did not go home with any leftovers!If you’re looking to get out and try a new restaurant, Sandee’s is a great option! Until next week Janesville 😊
