    We’ve been going to Dreamland for years and have never had a bad experience. The food is always phenomenal and has an elevated home cooked feel, the interior is sophisticated and stunning, the staff is always so kind and helpful, and I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. It’s truly my favourite restaurant.

    Food was absolutely delicious! We had the spicy Cesar salad, meatballs, black truffle pasta and lobster pasta. All were unique and quality was top notch. I would recommend and return!

    All of the food and drink were stellar, but the Honey I Deep Fried the Brussels was the single best appetizer I have had at any restaurant, anywhere in the world, ever. Highly recommend the espresso as well, and I want to highlight the lemonade, because it’s really nice to have a non-alcoholic option that’s made in-house and still feels special, and beyond that it was also really good.
