    Prime rib was excellent and cooked perfectly. The ribeye was equally as good. Potato Cakes were delicious and highly recommend them.

    Celebrated a birthday- really lovely! Food was amazing, service with Quinton was above and beyond. He was kind, addressed all our requests and smiled! (Its winter in Indiana- we need kind smiles even for “older” ladies) Highly recommend!

    Our first experience with Dawson's was everything we hoped for. From the time we were seated, then throughout the meal and a complete menu list, the experience and ambience was top notch. I would recommend this restaurant for that special experience and the opportunity for future memories.

    Food was great. Portion size was very nice. Our Bartender /Server was in a great mood being it on Christmas Eve. Only thing was I didn't get my meal and that was ok. I understand how crazy it is on the holidays.
