    The service was very slow. We were told it was because the "Course Meals" tend to take a little longer to come out. I have experienced "Couse Meals" in several restaurants before and this was never an issue until now. We had the crab dip appetizer - the crab tasted and had the mouth feel of something that had come out of a can. We were really hungry by this point so ate it anyway. When our main course FINALLY came out - it was the wrong order. It took several minutes for our meal to come out after we finally said something -- way later than other diners around us who had arrived after us and had their food at least 15-20 minutes before ours. My husband ordered the braised beef short rib - it resembled a chunk of slow cooked pot roast. Decent flavor but the barley mixture it was served on top of wasn't great (and I like barley). I recommend adding a side of mashed potatoes and ditching the barley stuff. I ordered the halibut. It was dry and had no flavor. I have eaten a lot of halibut - and this was the worse. I ate less than half and threw it out. Very disappointing. The mac and cheese was okay. The best dishes from this meal were the wedge salad and the asparagus. We will not eat at this restaurant again. The food definitely is not up to par with the prices they charge - and heads up, the specialty cocktails cost an average of $16.

    Another fantastic meal at Dresslers. Great service and a fantastic menu for the last weekend of the Queen City’s annual parade of restaurants known as the Queen’s Feast. Keep up the great work.

    It was our first time visiting this restaurant. The whole experience was great. Our server, Jules, was awesome and really made the experience fun. She gave suggestions on our menu choices and the meal was awesome. We will definitely be back, and hopefully, Jules will be there.

    I have to give this restaurant 10 out of 10. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming.  James (manager) Josh (chef) and Curtis (waiter) were phenomenal and the food was amazing. This is one of the best dinner experiences I’ve had in many many years. Again the restaurant, the staff, the food, and the ambience; everything was 10 out of 10. I can’t wait to go again.
