The Dalton Royal 3161 East Ustick Road, Meridian, ID 83646

"Update: dear snarky owner- we didn’t move the table, we began too but it was too heavy, also no clearly posted signs as I have pictures of the area (just attached where not one sign was in sight) , the waiter came with water saw us moving the chairs and we said it was to heavy and he then put water down and slid the table over with two guys. So if it was so much as forbidden why wouldn’t he have said anything? And why would he have joined. Now I’m not one to put bad reviews. I put honest reviews good or poor. But do not come at us because we were not the issue. The restaurant was nice, the service was poor (forgot orders, was hard to get service). The appetizers were the best part 5/5 and the dinner we were a group and all got different things and not one person liked their entree. That’s rough."

"***UPDATED REVIEW To the owner, it wasn't an issue of expense or being on a budget. I don't mind paying those prices for really good food and drink but your spot didn't hit that bar for me. It tasted like chain restaurant food so that's why the price seemed off to me. Best of luck! It's just not for us. ***UPDATED REVIEW We saw the review history of this place and wanted to see for ourselves what the deal was. We ordered 2 cocktails and an appetizer to split and decided not to get dinner after that. It was very pricey for the quality of food and serving size. The Spinach Artichoke Dip tasted fine but was very loose, almost soupy or saucy, and appeared to be microwaved in the bowl (bowl was piping hot when it came out and we could see dried areas around the edges typical of microwave heating.) The crostini was DRENCHED in olive oil that was pretty flavorless. Cocktails were watered down and expensive for what you got. Cheap ingredients all around which I don't mind if you're charging accordingly. Their mark up seems quite high for what they're serving. Service was very kind and attentive, but they are severely understaffed. 1 waitress was servicing about 10-12 tables alone. The huge event like space might be fun for a big party but the vibe was confused for just casual dining and again, I'm not sure that the staff could keep up well with larger parties. Maybe check it out for karaoke if you're in to that but expect to pay for drinks, maybe more than you want to for a karaoke bar experience."

"The Dalton Royal Event Center has space for over 200 people, good food, amazing drinks, skee ball, air hokey, and pinball machines. The stage is a great place to do karaoke. Located on the corner of Ustic and Eagle, this is a conveniently located local business that is an excellent place to plan your next event!"

"Just like the other reviewers, the theme or design of the restaurant/bar is unique. I think it wants to go with fancy vibe, but also tropical and arcade theme. I like that they had live music but not a cozy place. We got the spinach and artichoke dip, it was ok but I honestly thought we got the crab dip. The amount was small and very runny. We shared a burger which was good, and the fries were probably the best because they are large potatoes scoops. Would I return? Probably not, it just didn’t fit my vibe and I wasn’t too impressed with the food."

"My wife and I went here for lunch for our anniversary. The service was fantastic and the food was just as good. We got the crab dip for an appetizer and she got the macaroni and cheese and I got the ribeye that was perfectly cooked. everything had incredible flavors. We will be back!"
