Myself and my brother have eaten at Dexter regularly for several years, bringing friends, family and work colleagues. The food is incredible (it's hard to go past the brisket, but all of the dishes are amazing) and the friendly personable service is a delight. Can't recommend Dexter highly enough. We'll continue to visit.
