    Great food and even better service. The only issue I have is with the noise level. It can be difficult to carry on a conversation because the restaurant is always crowded and the tables are fairly close.

    Our waiter, Dimitri, the Greekin’ Rican, was a pleasure. We rate him a 5 along with everything we had. The pumpkin ravioli was amazing! Worth having as an entree. Dee’s never disappoints. It’s our new favorite place!

    Good food and great service! We dined here on a Sunday night for an impromptu date. To start, we had the calamari, and for dinner we got the chicken Parmesan (served with risotto) and shrimp and gnocchi.

    Despite being very late and adding another person to the reservation, they were very cooperative and welcoming! They sat us very quickly. The food, drinks and service were outstanding. I used to be a more frequent visitor when I worked in the area. It was just as I remembered. A local GEM for sure.

    The food was not up to snuff. Good service and outstanding $5.00 Brunch Cocktails. Otherwise, foccaia was the best dish that we tasted that day out of all the other dishes ordered. Sorry to say.

    Went this evening with a friend of mine for dinner, our waiter was Dmitri. He greeted you with this incredible smile and attentiveness. He went out of his way to have a special cocktail we requested to be made by the bartender. He was most attentive and anticipated our needs. Next time that I go to Dee’s, I’m going to request to be seated in his section!  Thank you Dimitri  for making out evening special. Connie

    I hadn’t dined at Dee’s for a long time. But whenever I dined there, I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs, which were Mama’s spaghetti and meatballs. This time the menu called it Nene‘s spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs were different and not as good. They were not moist and soft. They were harder. A different recipe. Not mama’s recipe. More like what you would get in the frozen food department of a grocery store - maybe not even as good. I took half of my meal with me and shared it with my brother who agreed that the meatballs were different and not as good.

    Dee's is my go to neighborhood spot. But the last two visits in August were a bit disappointing. While the food is generally consistent and good, the service has been lax and both times the bottle of white wine we ordered was room temperature. Ice bucket did not do the trick. Also, ran out of mashed potatoes at 5:30 on a Sunday??

    Couldn’t say enough good things about this place. Food was excellent and service was also excellent. Thai pizza was amazing! I could not stop eating it and was full by the time dinner arrived, but leftovers were great! Will def be coming back again with my kids to have a family dinner and this place will be our new date spot!

    The best item on the menu was the truffle pizza. Everything else was ok. Not many options for dessert. They only had chocolate chip cookies and one more item. Haven't been here in years. Feels like they changed the chef.
