    I've eaten at Dagon many times. We arrived for a late dinner after a show. The dance music inside was blasting, even though there were just a handful of patrons. I'm not sure this is the crowd for that on a Wednesday night after 9:30 PM. The food was delicious-- the octopus, the Israeli salad, the flatbread-- but when the waiter brought the dorade in a two handled copper bowl, he did not mention that it was hot and I burned my finger when it brushed against the side of the bowl. There was no serving spoon, so if I had grabbed one of the handles, I would've been on my way to the ER. It is the responsibility of the staff to tell diners if a dish/plate is scalding hot, which this was. I asked for burn cream. The waiter said he'd get right on it, but then I saw him ringing up other tabs. He returned and said they were out of the cream. Hello- this is basic first aid in a restaurant. Get it together.

    So disappointing! We have eaten here many times but tonight’s meal was mediocre at best. The service was surly and slow and the whole fish came with only half! When we mentioned it to the waiter, he said the manger would take care of it. But then he didn’t. $240 for three of us and we left hungry and frustrated. So sad but we won’t be going back.

    The food was good and service good. However I felt rushed between courses - staff kept trying to take our first course away before we were finished. Several times I had to stop the staff from taking plates away. The noise level was very high and I often felt like I was yelling across the table.

    Very nice staff; busy and noisy for a Monday night. Food was okay. Loved the Tunisian cigar and the flourless chocolate cake, but the Dorade and Fish Kofta was heavy and, despite the server's assurance, too spicy for me.

    Ordered a cosmo, waiter did not ask the type of vodka, but gave me a cosmo plus (think that was name) which was with a premium vodka that had a $4.00 up charge. Drink was small, too. In future, waiter should ask regarding vodka and not assume.

    Met for brunch on a Saturday. First table to be seated for the day. Took a little bit to for a server to come and then the service got better. They even offered us a free latte because one had been made by mistake and they knew one of us had already ordered one. Food is very good.

    We were there for lunch. There is a fixed price lunch menu and a regular lunch menu. We did the fixed price -- appetizers and main -- and the choices were good and the food is amazing. If I had one complaint, it's that we had a 1:30 reservation and they were definitely rushing us because they close for a period between lunch and dinner. Our first server was ok; but when he left and the second one took over, he asked us repeatedly if we wanted dessert or coffee before we had finished our wine or even had a chance to look at the menu. Also, the mains came out shortly after the appetizers, so we didn't have an opportunity to finish the appetizers.

    We do not often find ourselves on the upper west side of Manhattan, so whenever we get to a new neighborhood we usually ask Open Table for suggestions. This time they recommended DAGON on Broadway and 91st Street, and we couldn’t be happier. Dagon is an Israeli based cuisine with artfully prepared dishes and delicious food. Their tuna sandwich was freshly made and the chicken schnitzel was double the size we were expecting. And the flourless chocolate mousse with fresh ice cream was likewise a treat. We highly recommend Dagon and look forward to the next opportunity when we can enjoy their food again. About half the menu is vegetarian.

    So disappointing. We’ve been to Dagon many times. Love sitting and eating at the bar. This time, the bartender was great, the rest not so much. Other than the Caesar salad, food was bad. The tuna crudo was so spicy it was uneatable. The main course took over an hour to come out and then my swordfish was way over cooked (I asked for medium rare). The sea bass was so spicy it tasted like spice with a little bit of sea bass. While the bartender was apologetic about the food and service, the manager was borderline rude. Spent more time fixing his mustache than caring about the restaurant. Very disappointing after many good meals at this restaurant.
