Our server was awesome - very knowledgeable and helpful for somebody with Celiac disease (no gluten or cross contamination). Food and beer were outstanding. And the King of the Hill club is an excellent value. Overall fantastic experience!

We went to the Dime for lunch on a weekday. The food, service, and ambiance were great. We enjoyed seeing the city from the restaurant window. We would have preferred to park closer to the restaurant and not have to walk so far from the lot to the restaurant. Alternatively, we would have taken advantage of valet parking, but this did not appear to be an option.
