Dagon

Great experience as always.

Terrible service!!!
Had to ask for water multiple times..

Didnt get seated for 20 min even though we had rsvp.

What type or Mediterranean restaurant doesnt offer humus all day? Only available for dinner time?? What a joke..

Sat at the bar with Thor who was great. Met the manger Stephine who was equally great. We will be back !

Amazing food and service but terribly loud during dinner service.

Delicious meal, attentive service and good wine list! Reminded us of our Moroccan holiday trip. We will be back.

Amazing food!! Great service. Will definitely go back!

Best Israeli food yet. Outdoor eating in comfortable setting.Service excellent and proactive. Traditional food with a modern twist.

We had a reservation for 5:00 pm on a Monday night. Predictably, only one other table both inside and outside of this large restaurant was occupied. We were shown to the absolutely worst table in the entire restaurant. Hands down. No other occupied table and we had a reservation. When I requested another the table, the hostess was so rude and so hostile, that I was inclined to leave the restaurant. We selected a comfortable table for two and were served by an attentive waiter and attended to by considerate staff, all of whom seemed to care that we were enjoying our food!
The food was tasty, the presentation was lovely, and the bread was exceptional! The drinks were good, as well. My husband had the specialty gin and tonic cocktail--a refreshing version of our old standby.
But our experience was tainted by our initial greeting and incomprehensible treatment. I watched as other twosomes throughout the evening were seated at less than desirable locations repeatedly while many nice tables for two remained unoccupied.
I will not return nor recommend Dagon. I cannot in good conscience given the more accommodating restaurants in our neighborhood that should be supported. The restaurant is not a good value, but, again, the food was tasty and the presentation lovely. You can decide!

Delicious and different twist on Israeli cuisine. High quality food, fun vibe, but just a little too noisy. Will definitely come back.

Understaffed and overbooked

The food was outstanding. Cant wait to go back. The service was great too.

Wish the falafel sandwich was on the menu!

The price point is a little high. We had Israeli breakfast which was delish. Second time there- both times service was subpar. Waiting 15 minutes at table before acknowledged or had water brought to us. Have to remind or ask for refills. Breads are great. Beautiful place. Wish I loved it.

Delicious food and cocktails. Great service. A little loud but it brings you away from the UWS.

Second visit. Amazing food. Helpful service.

Fabulous food, great service. Inside is nicer/more atmospheric than outside.

Our first visit and wanted to love it. Seated inside and noise level was very high—hard to talk across the table. Food was delicious and inventive. Busy evening and service was a bit slow but staff tried hard. Would go back and recommend it to others but only for outside where it was much quieter.

Incredible food in every regard: Fresh, inventive, perfectly prepared. Every dish was jaw-droppingly good and this is not the place to forego the insane bread that comes with labneh. At $22, two scallops seems chintzy, but it was a knockout dish. The mushroom dumplings are melt in your mouth. The fatoosh salad is a winner, but beware-- it has the dreaded cilantro-- I asked as it says "fresh herbs" (it's the only one I cannot tolerate). They left it off when I asked. We also had the lamb and the delicious cauliflower. Service was excellent. Too full for dessert. Highly recommended.

I visited the highly touted Dagon and have mixed feelings about it. The food was quite good, but from a hospitality standpoint I was not impressed. When two out of 4 of us arrived first, we were asked to stand by the bar even though the dining room was sparsely filled. We declined. When seated, I asked about the mezze offerings and was given a terse and not at all friendly response from the server. Then when we tried to order mezze, we were told that we had to order the entire meal at one time. It was my Birthday and I was looking forward to a leisurely dinner, while cognizant that there were time constraints which I understand, and thought it not unreasonable to peruse the menu (the place was new to us) while munching on mezze which are already prepared and could come out fast. The place is overly bright, which makes it feel a bit like a cafeteria. It's also fairly expensive, so given my mixed experience, it's unlikely that I'll be returning.

Excellent food & drink at very fair prices BUT noise level inside leaves one's ears ringing, and service, though attentive and polite, seemed hurried, as though kitchen was about to close (it was only 7:15) and we felt a bit rushed. Weather permitting, I'd prefer dining outside here.

Very nice! Good food!
Good ambiance and well decorated.
Just, prices are to high depending the quantity…
$14 a small dessert.. $22 for a little small plate.

We were underwhelmed. Some dishes were great, others were ordinary. The service was very slow. Loved the chicken liver mouse and the shishbarak. The whipped eggplant, Moroccan carrots and cauliflower were just ok. We ordered the tuna crudo and when the waitress brought it to the table, she said they are out of tuna and used salmon. She said the chef never told her about the switch. It was good, just minuscule. I ordered a glass of wine when they brought our 2nd courses out but we were practically finished when I told the server to cancel the wine. She said the bar was slammed. Didn’t look like it. Not sure I will return.

Great spot for a date night!

Food was DELICIOUS! However, service left a lot to be desired. When we arrived, the hostess shared thst she had given away our table. It was 12:01pm for a 12pm reservation. She then tried to convince us to sit indoors, despite having intentionally made an outdoor reservation a week before hand as we were celebrating a Birthday. We continued to wait, and were finally seated 45 minutes after our reservation. Took a long time to have our order taken and the waiter seemed to be very confused. Drinks came out after Mezzes had arrived. One diner, waited nearly 30 minutes for her coffee.

Food was excellent and a wonderful atmosphere! Will return but hope that service is much much better!!

Very cool chic ambience! Great brunch unlimited mimosa special too. Will come back for another brunch sometime.

A great addition to the Upper West Side. The food is excellent and varied, too many good choices!! The kitchen was slow, but our server kept us posted and was most apologetic. The biggest problem, if the noise level. It is difficult to carry on a conversation and much of the time I found myself having to yell to make myself heard.

The food was great. But don't order passion fruit bellini.

Awesome all around

Absolutely amazing flavors and very welcoming staff!!

Loved everything

A little too noisy for my liking, but the food is FANTASTIC!!

Introduced my tenth group of friends to Dagon on this trip. As usual, it was a HIT!! Chef never misses.
Shishbarak and cauliflower reigns! New salmon and the original lamb were favorites . And the pastry chef of the night was encouraged by our server to produce a five star rendition of Silan. I’ve had some good results, some not good results and until tonight’s perfect presentation, only one Perfect Silan. Now I’ve had TWO!!! It takes a skilled hand to arrange the Ingredients to create the magic. We were charmed!

The food was only OK.

The BEST restaurant! We loved everything we tried!! Highly recommend all the breads and dips and cauliflower and mushroom dumplings 🤩 also our waiter Eduardo was great! Also the halvah ice cream was beyond!!

Great first try at Dagon. Food was great -ate too much because the breads were too delicious. I’ll definitely be back to sit at the bar especially. It was unreasonably loud and we couldn’t keep conversation going across the table. I hope they find a way to manage the noise.

Hostess was haughty and officious. She made us wait to be seated even though we had a reservation and there were plenty of empty tables.

Cocktails very imaginative with Mediterranean twist on classics. Potent and yummy. 😊
Loved the cod with vegetable tagine.

Food was beyond delicious. We over ordered but finished most everything. Waiter’s recommendations were spot on. Something for everyone - meat eaters or not.

Food and service good. A bit pricey for the portions. Very noisy inside, hard to relax and have a conversation with companions.

Food was fantastic. Would highly recommend. Great options for all types of eaters and all was delicious
