Great place for brunch! The portions was quite large for the price. French toast was awesome!

Not my favorite restaurant of all time but still delicious! Lots of great options. We sat outside in March/April when it was still a little cold – which is on us, but the wait staff got us food quickly. They were super friendly and the ambiance of the restaurant is on point.

The Dial is the kind of place I’ve been looking for. Wonderful atmosphere, great music never too loud or soft, and staff is experienced and it shows. From Ava, Camilla, and Nicole, the level of professionalism they pride themselves in while also being their authentic selves. I went back 2 days later because it’s a place to enjoy, remember, and certainly to frequent. Food is fantastic and drinks are exceptional including their draft choices.

I’ve come here several times and each time was a blast. With friends that late at night it’s so easy to grab a cocktail and in the winter time they had such a wonderful spiced wine that smelled of cinnamon and I’ll kinds of homey good slices and my friend and I had such a wonderful time. When I came here with a larger dinner group we had all sorts of appetizers and entrées and drinks and they were also good. They also have small servings and large servings so you can get a little bit of everything by ordering the smalls. The waiter was really nice and I had the same later both times and he was very attentive and kind. Thank you so much I wish I knew your name but I hope you get a raise. I’ll deathly be coming back and it’s in the top three restaurants I take people to when people visit the city.

The interior is nice and the food looks pretty, but it doesn’t taste good…. My husband and I got really sad after we ate here because the food was disappointing 🙁 If you want some pretty Instagram photos, you can come here. But if you want quality food, I would not recommend this place at least for brunch. (Dont know whether dinner food would be better) The server was nice though.

TLDR: Get the French toast with a creamsicle frozen cocktail. Ask for maple syrup on side.

Had a FABULOUS time at The Dial last night! The staff was super attentive and so helpful with their recommendations. I was particularly excited about our bartender (Megan, I believe? I apologize if I am misremembering her name but she had stunning rainbow colored hair and was an absolute delight!). She went above and beyond mixing my friend and I mocktails after we let our server know that we don’t drink alcohol but were looking for “non-boring” drinks Becky and Jared assisted us throughout the evening and we adored both of them. The atmosphere was very intimate and served as a wonderful background for catching up with a dear friend I hadn’t seen in ages. Will definitely be returning!
