Great food and service. The Brussel sprouts as an appetizer were the best I’ve ever had. The chicken was tender and full of flavor. Had the cobbler for desert with pecan ice cream. Everything was delicious and server was friendly and knowledgeable.

This restaurant is one of those exceptional, special stand out places where every staff member is outstanding, each dish is clearly thought out and executed perfectly, every drink is expertly and uniquely crafted to balance with the meals, and the ambiance is warm and inviting enough to go with friends, while also being just romantic enough for a great date. I literally cannot say enough good things about Dahlia, so all I will say is: ABSOLUTELY DO NOT SLEEP ON IT!! If you’re looking at reviews and trying to figure out where you go, you found the spot. You’re welcome 💕

Not our first visit, but definitely our best! The menu, always do the 5 course, was perfection. Our server was on top of our every need. The rest of the staff was friendly, picked up on our joking fun nature and laughed with us. The farm is beautiful and the food was fresh.
