The food ranged from really good to not very good at all. It was also overpriced. My friend ordered wine which arrived promptly and she sat there waiting to drink it while I waited for my cocktail (a Manhattan -- nothing too complicated!), which took about 20 minutes to arrive. There was a serious draft coming from a vent above our table. We sat eating our dinner with our coats and scarves on. All in all I don't plan on returning to Dagon!!

The food was very good. We ordered only a main course (lamb, beef brisket) and dessert. The main course portions were very small, especially for the price (~$40 each). The service was fine, but we were taken aback by the rapidity of the main course delivery (under 5 minutes from ordering). It was really quite a surprise, as we were still wondering if bread or some other prelude would arrive. The dessert ("Silan") was amazing. But its tremendous size was actually shocking! Especially compared to the size of the main course.

Dagon serves up delicious, creative and modern Israeli and Mediterranean dishes in an upbeat yet elegant setting. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared. It’s our go-to when in the West 80’s or 90’s.

Nothing at all special about this place - no ambience, crowded, food is just fair, difficult menu choices. I wouldn’t go back.
