   We ordered two pasta dishes (although this is not their primary menu profile). We were not impressed. However, the wine list was lovely.

   We decided to sit at the bar instead of a table because they were a little to close to each other. Our bartender was lovely, and had wonderful suggestions for things to try.

   The ambiance is outstanding, even though its loud on the first floor. However, our experience was overshadowed by high prices for food that was pretty good, but not up to the quality of other fine dining restaurants (Carlo & Johnny, Precinct). The ribeye was passable, but not great, the squid ink pasta was barely warm. The salmon was the best of the three entrees. Service & food timing was definitely slow, poured our own wine all evening and staff did not mention ordering sides when everything is ala carte. Dessert only had 2 of the 4 options available. Dinner for three with one of the lower priced bottle of wine was over $300, pricey for the food presentation & taste. I’m sure its a welcome addition to dining on the square, but we won’t hurry to return.

   Open Table made this reservation for us. We arrived on time for our reservation only to find the restaurant CLOSED! I have a confirmation from Open Table for this reservation. I’m terribly disappointed in OPEN TABLE.

   Short wait for our reserved table but we’re treated to a small glass of wine - nice gesture. Food very good - beets were spectacular. Unfortunately they were out of some of our first choices - oysters, fish. Would love to see a bit more non meat but it is a butchery!

    This was my third time at Dear and somehow it was a complete miss. My first two experiences were nothing short of magical, from the impressive cocktails to the perfectly salted rolls to the most amazing pasta dish I’ve had. This time was different. It started off great with oysters, rolls & cocktails. The charcuterie we ordered never came. Then we decided to try the beet salad, hot Italian & chicken curry sausages and smoked fries. The salad came out with dinner which wasn’t favorable, but worse is that they were so vinegary. I know the fries are “smoked fries” but they were so smoky, I couldn’t get past the smell. I had one bite of everything and was so disappointed. My husband did like the strong flavors so maybe these dishes just aren’t for everyone. After our first drink we asked to the drink menu to order another and our server never came back with it. She didn’t seem too concerned that more than half of the dishes were still half plated when we asked for the check. I will go back and try again but steer clear from what I ordered this time!

    It took 45 minutes to even get drinks. The waitress got Bloody Mary all over my sweater and my husbands jeans and never said anything. Couldn’t even get a second cup of coffee. Service was so very bad.

    We were extremely disappointed with our experience. We could not hear our waitress as she essentially whispered when reviewing the menu, and the restaurant was moderately loud. We realize that all restaurants are struggling with lack of staff thus we understood the slow service, however, when the food finally did arrive, we were not impressed. The steak was extremely salty and the seafood dish had a very strong fishy taste. The food was extremely overpriced. For the significant amount of money we spent, we wished we had went to another similarly priced restaurant. We had great hopes for this space but unfortunately, we will not be returning.

    Found this place through Google searching for a last minute reservation. I had really no idea what to expect other than the menu looked amazing online. One thing that should be known is that the menu changes almost daily. This was hands down some of the best food I have ever had. I had the filet and it was seriously top notch. They are a restaurant and butchery. So they cut everything fresh to order. One of the best overall experience I have ever had. I feel like the prices were very fare for the amazing quality of the food. A must go to place

    The location is very nice, but the food we ordered arrived late (45 minutes of waiting) short (one plate was not available and they brought another one as substitution not at same level - without asking) and the quality of the food was low average for a place like this.

    Delightful. Beautiful space, great service. We had the tuna crudo, a couple of oysters, the ribeye, the squid ink pasta with mussels, the fries with cheese foam, the honey nut squash and the candy bar cake. All delicious. The squash had a cream on it that was super sweet, almost tasted like whipped cream which was too sweet for me. Everything else was very much worth this experience which was a special occasion for my husband and me.

    Dear Restaurant was quite disappointing. None of the food was memorable. And their plating is lacking visual appeal. All five of us agreed that it is not a restaurant we would ever go to again. One of the oddest experiences at Dear is that they will not allow you to order appetizers first. They require you to place your entire order at one time. Not recommended.

    Went to brunch on Sunday at 12:30, they were out of several items, which we were not advised about when we were given menus. Some members of our party had to pivot twice around the lack of items. Brunch itself was underwhelming and some of our eggs were undercooked. We all ordered coffee and asked for cream, and when the coffee came out, we were informed they were out of cream as well. Without cream, the coffee was unenjoyable for some members of our party and I was disappointed that after our poor ordering experience, they didn't see fit to comp us even one cup of coffee, at $4 cup it should be enjoyable.
