"This was our first time to this restaurant and will return. Love the atmosphere. The food was so good and there are more entrees i would like to try. The scallops were delicious as was the appetizer of crabcake. Best dinner out I've had in a very long time."

"It was a great experience overall. My dining companion and I had been to the Dressler's in Birkdale Village on several occasions, and were excited to try the more convenient location at the Metropolitan. We ate outside, which was not as noisy on a Saturday night. Our server Chris was very attentive (but not over the top). He comped our mac and cheese side, since it took a little longer to come out. The calamari is superb. I should have gotten my filet mignon prepared medium well, rather than medium, but that was my fault. It was still tasty. The pork chop was excellent and the fingerling potatoes are a flavorful side. Although I thought I didn't have room for dessert, I made room when the carrot cake was served. Delightful!"

"Saturday night was my first time dining at Dressler's. The food was great - loved the homemade bread, smoked organic chicken, and mac & cheese. My fiancee had the salmon with risotto and he enjoyed his food as well. It was a perfect day for dining on the patio. Our server, Lydia, was wonderful. They view was gorgeous and relaxing. All in all, a great date night! Would definitely come here again."

"We had the G Salad and the Spinach Salad which were very good. Then... we had the filet (far subpar for Charlotte steak options) and the Mahi which was severely overcooked. I personally would only revisit Dresslers if it were for the bar and the light menu... their salads are great, okay apps and very good soups."

"This was the first Brunch visit. Normally we have dinner, as Dressler's is one of our favorite restaurants. After receiving the email about their Easter Brunch, I thought that it would be great. I made a reservation for my husband, myself & two other friends. Needless to say, we all were very disappointed. Food was very bland & some dry. Service was VERY slow. Upon leaving I saw a co-worker of mine & we discussed our visits that Monday & both we both had the same opinions. We both were very disappoined with the brunch. I also found out from my co-worker that she was allowed to use a half-off voucher. I presented my server with the same type of voucher & I was told I was not able to use it for the brunch."
