   The restaurant allows a 90 minute dining experience. I recommend not purchasing the unlimited mimosas, at $30 person. The champagne isn’t table side and you must wait for your server to notice that you require a refill . I will return however, the noise level is loud, the wait staff is attentive. The food was service was great.

   I sat at the bar and Karen serviced me. She was great! The drinks were on point, the service was fantastic and the food was impeccable! I will definitely be back and bring friends when I do.

   Love this place. Food and service are great. Recommend the deviled eggs with salmon, the shrimp and grits, and the lemon-raspberry waffle from experience. There are a lot of good sounding things on the menu.

   Extremely busy location but great food! You definitely need to reserve in advance for a seat.

   My fourth time visiting this establishment. I took a girlfriend for her birthday and she enjoyed the food. I was not over the top with my food selection this time around. The salmon croquettes were a bit dry and the mac n cheese was just okay. I had to remind the waitress four times for hot sauce. I will admit that the owner stopping by to make sure that things were okay added a nice touch and I will certainly come back for some of my favorite dishes.

   We'll be back, but never on a weekend, not even as early as 5pm, which worked fine last Saturday. The acoustics with nothing but hard surfaces made our visit for drinks and dinner but mainly conversation truly impossible. We ordered a drink apiece. Normally they'd get to the table in 5-10 minutes. Tonight: 25. Server couldn't get back to the table for our food order until we'd been there 55 minutes: You're seriously understaffed. But we'd given up. The nearby and not-so-near conversations had become so loud that we couldn't hear one another. At one point we found ourselves shouting to be heard, yet still couldn't hear each other's voices. That's miserable. It's nuts. It's no way to get people to come back. We over-tipped when paying for the drinks, left after making plans to give you one more chance on a less busy night of the week, and strolled to a Thai restaurant just over a block away, had a fine meal there and lots of conversation. It would be a shame for you start losing customers because of the miserable, painfully piercing noise levels we experienced. Please add something to your decor that muffles sound. What a shame it would be for such a good food-and-drink program in such an appealing setting to be spurned because no one can enjoy it when the pain of such high decibels is so severe.

    A.M. Dawn was an absolutely delightful dining experience. It was like eating a delicious home cooked meal at your favorite aunt’s house.
