The Dawson NYC

I NEED to come back here. I love the elevated pub atmosphere that was the perfect combo of casual but also fit a classier vibe at the same time. Seemed like a happening happy hour and really want to try their Sunday roast. The food was great as was the service. We got the Dawson salad, Dublin sliders which came with aioli and ketchup, and chips and guac.

Different dining experience than I'm used to. The place is absolutely gorgeous and with so much history. Nice cool vibe, that's perfect for a date.The drinks that I had were not great, but not horrible either.Our waiter suggested the flatbread and the braised short rib for us and she was not wrong. That short rib was amazing and the gravy was so delicious. The meat just melted in your mouth. Def 10/10

We got a table during Christmas time..If it hadn't been for the server paying zero attention to our table, this would be a five star review.The waitress came to the table twice. In 2 hours. Had to flag down other servers, bidets, and the manager to get another drink. Food was pretty good, a fancy Chili's, nothing to write home about and nothing to consider as an established NYC cuisine. Overall - decent. Bathrooms were the best part - clean and well-kept.

Food. 4Service. 5Ambiance. 4We shared the triple hummus plate for appetizer and had the salmon and fish and chips. All was good except the fish and chips. Greasy and a little overcookedWe sat at the bar and the service was top notch. The ambiance is great and decorated for Christmas. It was a bit loud but everyplace is this time of year

They had quite a few "reserved" tables but we were able to be seated at a bar table right away. We ordered truffle fries and a couple cocktails. The fries were good, though I would've liked them to be... longer? They seemed to be pieces. Small fries. We both enjoyed our cocktails. Our server was attentive. All in all, it was a good spot in NY

I came here solo around 5 pm on a Tuesday. Place was hopping but I was able to find a bar spot in the corner. Bartenders were really good, especially for the amount of people ordering drinks. Ambiance was that of an upscale American bar, which I love but I will say it was pretty loud. Yes I know it's a bar but it seemed to be a little over the top. Plenty of beers on tap which I enjoyed as well as seeing many beautifully concocted mixed drink going out as well. They looked tasty even though I didn't try any. Nice spot that when I go again I'm coming with a friend and enjoying a cocktail!!

This was my second time here and it didn't disappoint. Still one of the best burgers I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and the toppings go together so well. My boyfriend got the roast and I of course stole a bite - definitely ordering this next time! FYI, only available Sundays Service was great! Or waitress was super patient with our large and indecisive party. Great restaurant in a great location.

Seeng the ambiance in the photos definitely made me choose the spot to have a quick bite and drink. The spicy margarita had some HEAT and tasted delicious, I also had some Pinot Grigio that was refreshing. The chicken Caesar salad wrap with sweet potato fries was exactly what I wanted, and I'm still thinking about it. The staff seemed to be super friendly with the patrons and preemptive to needs.

My friend and I stopped at The Dawson for dinner before a show on a Wednesday evening. The place was pretty hopping but we found an open spot at the bar right when we walked in. The bartender acknowledged us right away and was very kind and attentive the entire time we were there. We ordered drinks - a gin 45 and a mango margarita. Both were delicious that we just had to order another round later in the meal.We began with the whipped ricotta crostini appetizer. It was delicious! There were four pieces and each crostini was piled high with whipped ricotta and strawberries. It was a delicious way to begin our meal. I ordered the Pear N' Goat Cheese flatbread and my friend ordered The Dawson salad. I absolutely loved the flatbread. It was delicious and sweet. Almost like eating dessert as your meal, which is something totally up my alley. It was also the perfect amount of food, I ate every last bite. My friend said her salad was very good as well.After we finished our second round we had to head out to the show. While eating at the bar, it did get a bit loud, and it actually felt kind of warm - almost a little humid, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. I hate being hot, haha. Overall, the food was excellent at The Dawson and so was the service. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a place to eat in that area.

Perhaps our new go-to happy hour spot with coworkers. Their upstairs library-esque level made for a pretty chill conversation. Make some room for their truffle fries!
