    Dos Tacos w/ bacon!
    Maddy A.

    Walked in for a Saturday brunch & got a seat immediately outside. These breakfast tacos were wonderful! Only complainant would be the need for a bigger tortilla because it was packed to the brim with toppings! LOL not a bad issue at all, there was so much flavor in the mango salsa + dimes hot sauce, the eggs were perfectly cooked & the bacon was PERFECTLY crispy! Exactly how I want my bacon. The only reason for 4 stars is because our food took quite a bit of time to come to the table after ordering. Vibes were great outside on probably the last warm NYC fall Saturday this year!

    Esquites Croquetas & Togarashi Potato Wedges

    Dimes, located at 49 Canal Street in Manhattan's Lower East Side, stands as a culinary and cultural institution that has significantly influenced the neighborhood now colloquially known as "Dimes Square." Founded in 2013 by Alissa Wagner and Sabrina De Sousa, Dimes began as a modest 20-seat café on Division Street. Its unique blend of health-conscious, California-inspired cuisine and minimalist design quickly garnered attention, leading to its relocation to a larger space on Canal Street in 2015 . The restaurant's menu reflects its commitment to fresh, innovative dishes. During a recent visit, I sampled the corn croquettes and thick-cut potato wedges, both of which were delightful. The corn croquettes offered a crispy exterior with a creamy, flavorful center, while the potato wedges were perfectly seasoned and accompanied by a tangy green goddess aioli. The veggie burger, however, leaned heavily on seaweed flavors, which, while appreciated by some, may not suit everyone's palate. Beyond its culinary offerings, Dimes has cultivated an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. The crowd is notably LGBT friendly, exuding a genuine and low-key vibe that feels both authentic and unpretentious. This ambiance aligns with the founders' vision of creating a community-centric space that resonates with a diverse clientele . Dimes' influence extends beyond its walls. The establishment played a pivotal role in the emergence of "Dimes Square," a micro-neighborhood characterized by its blend of art, fashion, and culinary scenes . This area has become a hub for creatives and trendsetters, further cementing Dimes' status as a cornerstone of cultural evolution in the Lower East Side. Almost everything in the menu is healthy and tasty and the vibe feels like family and home. Go Check it out!

    it's a small little place but a great vibe inside and casual atmosphere with nice servers. The dos tacos had scrambled eggs perfectly ripe and delicious avocado (which is really important to me) nice corn tortillas MANGO SALSA add bacon... it was so so so good. i don't like mayonnaise, but my foodie companions LOVED the BLT. And the other is obsessed with the potato wedges (for some reason lol i thought they were mid) i think because it has a tiny kick of spice on seasoning,

    Enjoyed a hearty well-balanced breakfast plate here with a good matcha-macca latte that I asked for extra hot and they actually made it extra hot. Very friendly service and they did not rush me on a weekday afternoon.

    Been wanting to try this place for awhile, food was pretty good and the staff was super nice! Not my favorite breakfast spot I've been too but I enjoyed going. Def a great back up option for brunch but o wouldn't go out of my way to go here

    Breakfast Sandwich
    Rae Lynne K.

    In the neighborhood and looking for a great little brunch spot you found it! Nestled on Canal my friend and I came for a Sunday brunch. The place is small and very cozy. It wasn't super busy when we first got there but it definitely got really busy! And it was not loud at all. We were seated promptly. My friend had coffee and I had a latte which came out with a heart shaped design. For brunch my friend had the breakfast sandwich and I had the bergamot pancakes. LET ME TELL YOU! I'm not a big pancake eater but these pancakes were light, fluffy, oh so full of flavor. The blueberries on top were just perfect! I didn't even need the syrup on the side. Lots of items on the brunch menu. I can't wait to come back to try the dinner menu! And the prices are good too.

    Neptune burger is made with seaweed--delicious and packed with minerals!
    Fallopia T.

    I happened on Dimes last evening on my way to Chinatown, and decided, "Why not?" I chose the only vegan entrée--the Neptune burger, made with seaweed--and was totally unsurprised at how delicious it was. I'm sorry there weren't more vegan options on the menu, but everything I had was amazing. This tiny--I counted 30 seats, plus bar--restaurant is cozy and comfortable; I didn't ask their hours, but I'm sure they're on a par with the area restaurants. I'll have to check out the other location soon!

    Great service, amazing food and the ambiance was amazing... will be back soon can't wait to spread the word

    Bavette Steak - extra brocoli rabe instead of fava bean
    Ari A.

    Dinner was a cute spot for dinner. Nice location, ambiance and helpful staff. Dinner was a tad underwhelming, but it seems dimes is more well known for brunch/breakfast. My steak was great, albeit a small portion. The broccoli rabe was bitter... but I'm convinced it's just a bad season for broccoli rabe as I've been disappointed all summer at multiple spots whenever I choose to Eat it. Next time I'll come back to dimes for lunch hours, and stick to my favorite Kiki's around the corner for dinner.

    Dimes may be considered a "health conscious" place, which terrified me. In actuality, it's a neat little restaurant with some awesome menu items, such as the chicken soup and the pork (not pictured).

    One of the most hipster restaurants i have been to. Very cute interior. Loved the vibe. Servers were very friendly. We came on a Saturday and there was no wait although almost all tables were taken. They have really nice outdoor seating with shade as well if you prefer that. The menu has breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We went more of the brunch route and everything was delicious. I really liked the mango salsa on the tacos. The eggs were cooked really well. Overall fun spot.

    Salmon Entree and King Salad with Salmon
    Brianna D.

    Good service, music, and vibes, but very disappointing food quality for the price. My salad ingredients were not fresh and the salmon portion was extremely small for the large add-on price.

    Dos Tacos
    Robert Z.

    I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from Dimes when I walked in, and I'm not sure I know what to expect after I've eaten there, either. There were lots of "trendy" people there when we went on a Sunday morning. The menu was full of interesting Brazilian inspired brunch items, but the decor and atmosphere felt more like a toned down Urban Outfitters, and it felt disconnected. The coffee was great but the portions of the food items were smaller than I expected for what we paid.

The ambiance feels straight of the golden age, which is an aesthetic I'm certainly a sucker for. Even their robust cocktail menu fits the bill and is one of the prettiest menus I've ever had the joy of perusing. Staff was able to sit us a little bit ahead of our reservation which was also much appreciated. Wait staff was also very helpful and attentive, I don't think I've ever had my water glass so topped off! Starting off with cocktails, this place is a gin bar through and through and you'd be making a mistake if you didn't try one of their many options. I went with the 10,000 words, which you simply just give a spirit of your choice (I picked gin of course) and whether you antes) wanted your drink shaken or stirred and the bartender does the rest, so a bit of a surprise! I wound up with their version of The Last Word which was delightfully citrusy but I was hoping I'd wind up with something a little more adventurous app things considered. My girlfriend got the blackberry G&T, which was not only very pleasing to look at but delicious to boot. For food, we started with splitting some zucchini blossoms and beef cheek bao buns (both come in portions of 3). Both were tasty, but I love a good bao bun and these were so light and pillowy, I could have just went for an order of those for my main course. For the entree I went for the roasted half chicken, perhaps the most unassuming choice on the menu but this was maybe the best roast chicken I've ever had. Prepared perfectly, cooked to perfection, excellent portion size, and the kicker of it all was the stunning gravy that I was tempted to lick my plate for. Chicken is very easy to screw up, and they nailed it on all fronts here. My girlfriend went for the Valerie Signature burger with white cheddar and this thing did not mess around! A very rich patty, cooked to her temperature of choice served alongside some garlic truffle fries that made an American classic feel just a little more elevated. Our experience was delightful and I'd love to comeback here again, especially to check out more of the cocktail menu and soak in more of that golden age aura the place gives.

Next fail, we wanted to start with a Mediterranean dip, but they only offer that if you go with a $39 tray with multiple dips. Not something a party of two would be able to east, so we skipped apps altogether. Sucks too, because several tables had it and it liked amazing, just too much for two. For dinner I had the Yemeni Au Police Kebab, Filet Mignon which was absolutely delicious. The peppercorn Hawaii really sweetened the meat's flavor. So high marks for the steak.

Very pricey, beautiful atmosphere (if you get a nice table) and maybe a place that's better for a group than a couple.
