    The smoked salmon deviled eggs were delicious and you can’t skip the homemade biscuit. Worth the extra calories!

    The food was okay not worth the cost. Our waitress was good and the front maitre d was excellent, but the person who brought our food was terrible. May go again to see but not impressed

    Bright, clean and inviting dining space. The food was excellent and in particular, salmon deviled eggs, gumbo and fried catfish.

    Food was fantastic. Ample portions I always have leftovers. Service exceptional. Jasmine has been my server in several occasions and is at the top of her game in terms of being courteous and attentive. Previously Roux was my fave in the neighborhood but now Dawn has become my go to spot for breakfast and brunch. Make reservations ahead of time they book quickly.
