Went to Dressler’s during Queen’s Feast (Restaurant Week). Even though they were busy, we had great service and didn’t feel rushed. Tammy, our server, was excellent — great attitude, attentive, knowledgeable about both the menu and cocktail/wine list. My husband and I both had the same meal — warm pimento cheese appetizer with tomato jam and crostini, wedge salad (no tomatoes though :( ) and petit filet with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Everything was delicious. In particular the filet was cooked rare, perfectly. Wine list had several interesting choices. We went with a J. Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon which paired nicely with the meal.

The overall restaurant was gorgeous and the food was good. But the noise level in the place actually hindered the ambiance. Also this was my first time attending this establishment and was celebrating a birthday with my boyfriend and the restaurant was made aware once we entered the restaurant, but he didn’t get complimentary desert at all. Our waitress was also not the most friendly or knowledgeable of how she should handle guests. She was rude and sarcastic and it put a damper on our dinner. So I’d give this place a 4/10 because of these issues. Probably won’t return due to the experience we had here.

The service quality is always perfect. Food was perfect all but the bone in rib-eye special. I would recommend skipping it. The quality of meat just was not there. They’re ribeye in the Monaco on the menu put it to shame. This is probably our have tenth visit in the last year. This is the first negative thing I could say about the place! That should tell you something.
