Mushroom ravioli was out of this world! Calamari for appetizer was delicious as well! Orzo salad and tricolor were so yummy! My husband had the seafood special and my children had the lasagna and the kids pasta with meatballs. Everything was delicious! For dessert, we had the brown butter cake and the chocolate mousse and would definitely get them again!

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.
