   My husband started with the shrimp cocktail. He proclaims it as the best he has ever had. The cocktail sauce was incredible. I shared the charcuterie and burrata with our friends. Both were very good. The luxardo cherries in the board were a welcome sight. So delicious. The burrata with Brussels was one of the best appetizers I’ve ever had. For dinner, our friends had the 44oz steak. I stole a bit of their bone marrow. It tasted just like the organic, farm-raised beef my local farmer provides us back home (which is a huge compliment). I had the linguini carbonara with the poached egg. Also delectable. We were hoping to slide over to the speakeasy but it was slammed. The bartender fetched us drinks from there as we sat at DBA’s bar and sampled the tiramisu and Nutella pie. While the food was beyond measure, it was Ben our waiter who made our evening perfect. So kind, so personable, so helpful. The bar staff was also wonderful. When I come to town again, I hope to return to this restaurant. It really was one of the best dining experiences I have had in many years. Thank you, Ben. You really made for a wonderful experience.

   My husband and I visited from out of town and had an amazing experience! The valet was cheap and even came to our table in the restaurant after we paid the bill to return our keys. Our waitress (Sarah Mercedes) was AMAZING- request her if you go. She was knowledgeable and attentive and made our dining experience unforgettable. The food was amazing-we had the mussels for an appetizer, a delmonico ribeye and duck breast for entrees, truffle fries and duck fat fingerling potatoes for side-dishes, and the mousse and oreo nutella pie for dessert. Our alcoholic drinks were well balanced. It was more than affordable for the quality of food. The menus and atmosphere was beyond unique where fine dining meets rock and roll. The menus are actual vinyls and there are music quotes on the walls. The seating is comfortable and the view is great! We will definitely return in the future!

   You go to a restaurant, first, for food; and the quality of the food at dba was absolutely top of the line. I had perhaps the best mussel appetizer I have ever had - the sauce was superb. The main course of Icelandic cod was also superior. Service was also excellent. I cannot wait to go back.

    Second time to this establishment and it did not disappoint! Elegant inside with a modern spin that makes it feel approachable. Fantastic steak, filet, and salmon. Tons of sauces and toppings do customize to your liking. Cocktails are fantastic and the Northside speakeasy is next door and also owned by the same company. Cheaper options if you want to keep the bill down but also pricier options for special occasions. We love it here!

    Dante did not disappoint! First time for our party of 5. Had shrimp cocktail and shrimp were quite large and delicious. Would suggest finding a new recipe for cocktail sauce. Was thick and not good! Hong Kong mussels were delicious. We had salmon, filet, breast of duck, and monkfish and everyone’s meal was delicious. It took exceptionally long to get drinks snd food but I’m thinking it’s due to short staffing issues. Overall very enjoyable evening and all cocktails were delicious as well . Had old fashioned, vesper martini. Smoked Maple bourbon drink with bacon in it which was so good! Had another special Martini created for Valentine’s Day which was creamy and sweet, I think a cappuccino type drink. We will return!

    The calamari tasted like it was frozen and thrown in a deep fryer. My husband’s sea scallops were unfortunately way too salty, and he actually prefers salty foods and found it inedible. But he enjoyed the risotto that came with it. My seafood dish was very good, and our daughter enjoyed her filet.

    Birthday dinner for my wife. Been here many times. Tonight the food was not cooked to what was requested. I ordered the burger medium and it came out with absolutely NO pink. Well overcooked from what was ordered. My wife ordered the filet at medium rare, came out minimal pink, was closer to a medium well, as the outer edges were definitely a well done status. Service was fantastic, drinks were great. Chef(s) need to watch their grill temps closer.

Our waiter was so patient and helpful….one of our friends was very unhappy with her order and our waiter ( I can’t remember his name) whisked it away and in no time replaced it with something else. Brilliant! We love ❤️

    I've gone many times and they never disappoint! We actually dined there last week with some friends that are both chefs and they absolutely gushed how well the menu was done and we all were obsessed with the tuna appetizers as well as the short rib and burrata. The dry aged ribeye was phenomenal as well as the scallops. My husband and I split both because we couldn't decide which sounded better. The broccoli casserole side was so good I'd go back just for that! Lol.. Last Night was New Years and yet again service was perfect if not even better than the week prior. They had such a great set menu and it didn't leave us wanting anything else. The menu was executed perfectly! 😀 This has quickly become one of our favorite places to dine at.

    My filet was perfectly prepared (medium rare) and delicious. The peppercorn sauce that came with it was outstanding. I ordered the fingerling potatoes and my husband ordered the truffle fries - the fries were better. I ordered a patron silver margarita on the rocks - it was very good. The calamari was not the best I've had, I wouldn't order it again. Service was friendly and efficient. One of the best things was the music. It was 90s alternative rock. Not something I would expect, but a very nice change from most fine dining restaurants. Overall, great experience. We would go back.

    Everything was excellent on the menu. Great attentive service. Not too noisy- easy to talk across the table even though the room was full. It helps that the room is small and their are noise canceling fabric on ceiling. Very cool menu which was in a real vinyl album cover with the record. Loved the place.

    Made reservations for a party of four on December 22nd Upon arrival,the hostess greeted us and took us to a delightful table. The restaurant was warm and inviting with the dark colors with red accents. We started off with drinks. My wife had her traditional Cosmopolitan. I had the house Old Fashioned. Both were delicious. We ordered a stuffed pepper appetizer along with a flatbread. Both were large enough to share. For our main course,everyone except my wife ordered the filet, she had the scallops The beautiful presentation of the meals was wonderful accompaniment to the tasty deliciousness of the entrees. Each of us commented that the dinner was one of the best we’ve had. If you want a truly delightful dining experience for any occasion, I would highly recommend DBA
