We had the best time! The service was phenomenal, and the food was absolutely incredible. There wasn’t a single thing our party got that wasn’t delicious. We went for my birthday and joked that our group wants to go for everyone’s birthday for the next 10 years. You won’t be disappointed!

We enjoyed The Select for their Christmas Eve Prix Fixe. We had the trout and vegan plate and loved both. The sorbet and pear tart were excellent. The Reindeer Don’t Drink mocktail was delicious. The restaurant was decorated beautifully and our waitstaff was highly attentive!

Enjoyed lunch in the indoor dining room and despite being the only patrons, our experience was great. Our server Alejandro was a master at timing and understanding the importance of when to approach. His professionalism is an asset to Dahlia’s. We enjoyed delicious salads perfectly made And presented. Ana who was manager during our visit, was fun and informative and grateful for our support.
