Sueño

If you're looking for a contemporary twist on Mexican cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. We recently enjoyed their Mahi Mahi tacos, and they were nothing short of exceptional. The fish was perfectly fried, flaky, and seasoned to perfection, served with a mix of fresh toppings that elevated the flavors. The warm, soft tortillas added the perfect touch to every biteSides were equally impressive and tasty. The roasted brussels sprouts were a standout--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and enhanced with a subtle smoky flavor. The ceviche was fresh, tangy, and vibrant, a refreshing counterbalance to the warm dishesThe papas were rich and comforting, seasoned just right for a satisfying bite. Lastly, the piquillo peppers were an unexpected choice, sweet with a slight kick, making them a unique addition to the mealThe atmosphere was modern yet inviting, and the service was prompt and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. If you're a fan of innovative takes on Mexican classics, this spot deserves a place on your dining list!

We took our 21 year old son here for his birthday dinner with the family. All of our dishes were well prepared and delish. The staff are very professional and we enjoyed our evening celebrating him! I really enjoy the ranch water drink. It is so refreshing. The restaurant is not very loud and has a beautiful open kitchen concept. It is very dim in the restaurant, if you are getting older like I am make sure to take your readers! lol

Possibly the best restaurant in all of Dayton right now. Truly elevated dining experience bringing a modern take on Mexican cuisine. I've eaten here a couple times, including on a JAM Foodie Tour (which is a must do!) The depth of flavor in every dish is just mind blowing. The ambiance and architecture is gorgeous. And the service is top knotch. An amazing place to celebrate or just to indulge your senses.

Great ambience. Slow service. The food was an attempt at upscale Mexican food but fell short in flavor.

MUST TRY!!Went on a weekend before peak dinner hours. There were a lot of tables open but due to reservations, our party of two could only sit at the bar. The bartender was informative and helpful. I tried the Guacamole, Piquillo Peppers, Lamb Birria, Col de Bruselas, Tres Leches and Churros. The appetizers came out quick. Once we finished the appetizers, there wasn't a long wait on the mains. The guacamole itself was good but wasn't anything spectacular. I would get it again for the made in house corn chips. If you like goat cheese then you'll truly enjoy the Piquillo Peppers. The ratio of cheese to pepper is borderline too much in my opinion. The pepper itself seemed just like a bell pepper. The Lamb Birria was delicious. The side of Arbol was textbook. Both desserts were good. Overall, this might be the best food in Dayton.

Am I missing something here? My boss recommended I check this place out and after checking the reviews, went for it. I will say... I had my cocktail in-house and my food to go. Perhaps that makes a huge difference (which isn't ideal but alas). Anyway...Went with "The Guy" cocktail and it was delicious, albeit a tad expensive for the area. Ordered because it had "sea air" listed as an ingredient which I loved and found clever. My ranking would be higher if it were just based on the drinks.The food was... Very disappointing. I should note both the items are my go-to dishes so I have expectations. I ordered the shishito peppers which lacked flavor and honestly, weren't cooked well. Some were burnt, some were undercooked. How does that even happen? My entree was the fish tacos. Again, got these to go. I understand fish tacos are best served fresh and hot, so I didn't expect to be infatuated. But I also didn't expect the tacos to be soggy, fall apart when touched and basically be a fried fish stick with some cabbage. It was just, bad. Would not recommend for takeout and I'm having a hard time contemplating how in person improves it that much. Moral of the story: I would happily return for a cocktail, would never get their food to-go, and would need some coaxing to come back for a meal.

I truly enjoyed taking my niece here for her birthday. The ambience when you walk in is welcoming, dark and brooding. The staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. The food was delicious. We started with drinks, I got a mock tail with jalapeño which was refreshing with a kick. My niece got the margarita which she enjoyed thoroughly. We got the peppers for our App, they did not disappoint! Highly recommend. I got the bistec y mole and she got the lamb birria, both were delicious but the lamb was Amazing! We split the tres leches cake, it was a birthday celebration after all, and we were both so happy we did. Not sure when I'll be back in Dayton next but definitely worth the trip to get a little taste of SUEÑO!

Atmosphere, ambiance, food, service...this place has it all!!! It is so unique and just what downtown needed. The flavors were amazing, the menu is incredible and the quality of food was really impressive. We got a boat load of different things all equally as good as the next. We will definitely be back here for date night!!

TL;DR: Came here for a date night at the end of vacation as a treat based on others recommendations. Didn't live up to the hype and don't plan on coming back.Service:Bartender was friendly and attentive. Explained menu very thoroughly and provided recommendations. The only service issue we had here was with an order of tacos. We had ordered the pickled red onion on the side, when the order arrived the onions were on the dish, let the server know and she had it remade but this time they just left the onions out completely. Food: I was the most excited for the food, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. We had the taco de cochinita, bistec y mole, and mahi mahi. Flavor was good on the tacos, but definitely wasn't as spicy as we were led to believe. For the mahi mahi the fish itself was good, but the flavor of the rice really ruined the dish for us. The bistec y mole had a good flavor, but I wouldn't say it was amazing. Overall we liked the bistec y mole the best. Drinks were all good.Cost:Another strike here for me. The entrees were touted as being family style with portions sizes described as being for 1.5 people which would have made sense at about $40 a piece. Sadly the flavor didn't live up to price and the portions were smaller than I would have expected. I had two of the three tacos and the bistec y mole and was still hungry after. Drinks were about $14 a piece. Overall:Drinks were good. Food was overpriced for the taste and portion sizes. I don't plan to come here again.

Complimentary valet parking and nice frontage.Food was good. We had carne asada and pollo Al carbon. The chicken was particularly well seasoned and prepared! Service was spot on and the ambiance is very nice. Seemed a bit pricy for what we got so I pulled a star.
