    I don't know why this place doesn't get more buzz (though I don't live in the area). Wonderful food (house made bread is to die for), great views (not a bad seat in the house). Service (Jennifer) was terrific and you can just tell that the employees are happy to be there. Not surprising, it's fun to work when everything goes right. Highly recommended!

    While the food was very good, the atmosphere is dark and not very inviting for a water view property. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. When one of the diners in our party asked about the sides with an entre, our server replied ‘it comes with two sides.. just like it’s says in the menu’. We felt rushed and that our server was annoyed with us throughout the night.

    This is the second time I have visited SS Dion. I love the Prix Fixe Menu. For my Appetizer I had the Chicken Wings, then the Pasta Bolognese for my Entree and lastly the Flambe Banana's Foster Bread pudding. Everything was delicious. For the cost the portions were reasonable. However, the bread-basket only contained to small pieces of focaccia with dipping sauce. I would suggest that if they are going to do small pieces of bread like this, that they do two pieces per person. Otherwise, I have no suggestions for improvement on either food, atmosphere or service.
