    Do not eat here. I had a reservation through OpenTable. However, when I arrived, I was told and they were closed. This was very irritating as we drove across town to go to this place. She then told us never mind they are open. We should’ve taken that as a sign and ran, but we went inside anyway. Service was incredibly slow. Some of the food was OK but some of it honestly couldn’t figure out how they could serve that.

    I made reservations for Saturday September 22nd at 1:30. When I got there, the sign said the restaurant was closed to the public. Why would you accept reservations knowing you would not be opened. My time is very valuable and was wasted. You have very poor management and I will never made another reservation again!

    Thank you for asking but it was a very bad experience for my Dad’s belated Father’s Day; starting with they noted they are not affiliated with Open Table and did not have a reservation for me. My reservation was for 5:30 and they closed at 6; the rest was all downhill from there.

    First time at Delicious at the Dunbar! Food, service and ambiance were on point! The waitress/hostess was personable and professional. We had the Smothered Chicken with greens and yam. Everything was delicious but the yams were superb. So happy to have discovered this hidden gem!

    There is no longer outdoor dining. On the open table app, it does allow you to choose outdoor dining, but it's no longer available at this restaurant

    Visiting this historical hotel and having lunch was awesome. Angie can read a fast and knows what to do. She as great as mixing a drink. My food was worked to protection. My food was nice and hot with full body of favor. Soul food, Creole food and Mexican food is served here

    Went here for Dine LA menu. I thought it was a decent value and food was tasty. Jambalaya was excellent, the banana pudding very good, the smothered chicken was above average but thought the brown gravy may have been instant. Overall it was good with friendly staff and good food
