"Upstairs, chef Justin Urso slings burgers, empanadas, and other bites at the Blue Owl, with its sweeping views from the gorgeous rooftop deck. On the first floor at the Dial, check out the new outdoor patio and container bar, savor some global small plates, and grove to tunes from DJs and live musicians every Sunday through September." - Eater Staff, Nathan Tavares

Came with a group for dinner. There are two entrances. One from the botique hotel and the other from the side street. Lighting was nice and the bar/dinner area had a relaxing atmosphere. In the next dining area was a large mural that displayed the restaurant's international flare. Service was simply outstanding. We tried six dishes and dessert. The cranberry pecan salad with a maple vinaigrette was amazing. Green harissa grilled chicken was great. However everything was overshadowed by the vegetable japchae. I would come back to The Dial just for this. Currently not on the menu but you need to ask for it. To round out the meal was a Turkish Coffee Chocolate mousse. Also enjoyed their Basil Orgeat Lemonade and frozen Bailey's coffee. Highly recommended.

Great place for brunch! The portions was quite large for the price. French toast was awesome! —— Came back again for brunch. Great spot with lots of good and reasonably priced options. I really liked the frittata as well as the shakshuka. The servers are friendly and welcoming. It’s not too crowded in the mornings, so there is no wait time.

Food This is a hidden gem and I want everyone to know about it. I did not expect the food to be this good, especially for a restaurant inside a hotel. The menu is small, but everything we ordered was great. The best dish was the fried soft shell crab. The spicy seasoning really bought the dish to life. Everything else The restaurant has a big patio and good amount of seatings inside. The waitress was very friendly and super enthusiastic about the restaurant, which always help improve the experience.

Not my favorite restaurant of all time but still delicious! Lots of great options. We sat outside in March/April when it was still a little cold - which is on us, but the wait staff got us food quickly. They were super friendly and the ambiance of the restaurant is on point.

The food was great. Staff was friendly and we loved the vibes. Props to the DJ for the good music selection We went with a group of 5 for brunch. Everyone enjoyed the food and we’ll definitely be back. I ordered the Breakfast Sammy with egg, bacon, and avocado. I really enjoyed it. The brioche bread was great. I believe the eggs were fried over easy. When I bit into the sandwich, the yolk of the eggs ran down the sandwich and was soaked up by some of the bread. It was absolutely delicious. I also ordered the 907 G&T, a gin and tonic variation with orange and lemon. My friends ordered mimosas and said then orange juice was great, with pulp! I would come here again with a group or on a date.

Honestly a little disappointed by brunch here. The food portion was quite small for 3 of the 4 dishes we ordered. We left hungry after spending $20+ per person for one appetizer and 4 entrees. The bunuelos were good and the dinner menu looks delicious but would not come back for brunch.

I’ve come here several times and each time was a blast. With friends that late at night it’s so easy to grab a cocktail and in the winter time they had such a wonderful spiced wine that smelled of cinnamon and I’ll kinds of homey good slices and my friend and I had such a wonderful time. When I came here with a larger dinner group we had all sorts of appetizers and entrées and drinks and they were also good. They also have small servings and large servings so you can get a little bit of everything by ordering the smalls. The waiter was really nice and I had the same later both times and he was very attentive and kind. Thank you so much I wish I knew your name but I hope you get a raise. I’ll deathly be coming back and it’s in the top three restaurants I take people to when people visit the city.
