"Came with a group for dinner. There are two entrances. One from the botique hotel and the other from the side street. Lighting was nice and the bar/dinner area had a relaxing atmosphere. In the next dining area was a large mural that displayed the restaurant's international flare. Service was simply outstanding. We tried six dishes and dessert. The cranberry pecan salad with a maple vinaigrette was amazing. Green harissa grilled chicken was great. However everything was overshadowed by the vegetable japchae. I would come back to The Dial just for this. Currently not on the menu but you need to ask for it. To round out the meal was a Turkish Coffee Chocolate mousse. Also enjoyed their Basil Orgeat Lemonade and frozen Bailey's coffee. Highly recommended."

"Great place for brunch! The portions was quite large for the price. French toast was awesome! —— Came back again for brunch. Great spot with lots of good and reasonably priced options. I really liked the frittata as well as the shakshuka. The servers are friendly and welcoming. It’s not too crowded in the mornings, so there is no wait time."

"I’ve come here several times and each time was a blast. With friends that late at night it’s so easy to grab a cocktail and in the winter time they had such a wonderful spiced wine that smelled of cinnamon and I’ll kinds of homey good slices and my friend and I had such a wonderful time. When I came here with a larger dinner group we had all sorts of appetizers and entrées and drinks and they were also good. They also have small servings and large servings so you can get a little bit of everything by ordering the smalls. The waiter was really nice and I had the same later both times and he was very attentive and kind. Thank you so much I wish I knew your name but I hope you get a raise. I’ll deathly be coming back and it’s in the top three restaurants I take people to when people visit the city."

"Excellent place for a casual night out with great vibes and delicious food. Recently took a visit for dinner with a friend. Based on the reviews saying that the food here was subpar, I initially didn’t have high expectations for their food. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that most of the menus we ordered were amazing. Hiramasa crudo was a solid start to the meal, and the parmesan rosemary fries were also good. The star of the meal, however, were the lamb ribs and the trofie. Lamb ribs were extremely tender, and I enjoyed its creative combination with the pomegranate glaze and cashews. Trofie was also very flavorful, and a slight hint of mint really enhanced its flavor profile. For the entrées, we had the carne asada and the fish and chips. They weren’t as good as the other two, but we enjoyed them nonetheless. Overall, this place certainly lived up to its hype on social media, and I would highly recommend trying them out for dinner."
