I ordered: - fried chicken: the best fried chicken I've had in a long time! So crispy, juicy and packed with flavor. - biscuit: delicious! Buttery and flakey. Not dry at all. The butter it comes with was so good! - Yams: so much flavor! - Mac and cheese: creamy and cheesy. Not watery at all. Perfect texture and flavor. - cobbler: so much flavor! Nice and warm. I wish there was more crust but other than that it was perfect. This was the best way to end the meal! I would definitely come back when in the area.

wow. truly one of the best dining experiences i've had. the service was amazing from start to end…read moreand the food was just as exceptional. despite everything being amazing, i have to highlight my favorite bites of this night. the tuna taku handroll was truly one of the best things i've ever eaten, i can't stop thinking about it. the crunch of the radish with the soft, fresh tuna was heaven. the concept of fresh nori gives both a nice interactive experience to the item, while keeping the seaweed nice and fresh for each bite. i genuinely would come back to eat a whole meal of only this. i'm also someone who would not even give a second of consideration to a single item costing more than $50 but the hikari don was truly so worth it and i have told all my friends they have to try it. i even mention multiple times that i can't wait to go back to get it. everything is just so incredibly fresh and of great quality. the miso clam chowder was a first for me and i didn't expect much from it but i thoroughly enjoyed having that clam chowder satisfaction while being so light at the same time. the flavor was so refreshing and balanced. what a unique combination. i need to go back asap. i will go back. i love this place so much, most possibly one of the best restaurants i've tried. mirrors quality i've had in japan, which is such a high point for me as everyone around me knows how much i loved japan especially for the food.

This is definitely not your traditional Japanese restaurant. The portions are surprisingly…read moregenerous, making each dish great for sharing. The presentation is beautiful, and the ingredients taste fresh. I especially enjoyed the specialty sushi and seafood dishes. While the flavors were good overall, I'd rate the food around 8/10--creative and satisfying, though a few dishes leaned a bit heavy on the sauces, which covered some of the natural seafood flavor. What really stood out was the service. Every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. Overall, a great place if you're looking for modern Japanese cuisine with large portions and excellent hospitality. I'd happily come back to try more items on the menu.

The meal was largely a success .. a couple of misses that coulda brought me down.. but the highs were so high.. they made up for the missteps. Service. Hostess was super friendly and welcoming. Somethings they can be not so much.. but she was just lovely The actual service was friendly. But like some other reviewers said.. maybe they were a bit over whelmed. I'd label the service and friendly functional. The waiter said we ordered the perfect amount of food. I'd say we ordered 1 too many items. Scallop crudo: a lovely starter. It came really quick after ordering. We were sitting at the cold bar so could see these getting prepped. Drizzled with ground pistachio and a citrus oil. Simple. But delicious. Over priced a bit at $23. Maybe. It was delicious. Who cares Peaches and farmers cheese. Wow o wow did this dish sing. It was just light and lovely. Just the way I love to eat THE cornbread. Could it live up to the HYPE?!? Yes. Oh yes. It borders on being under baked.. ours actually prolly was a bit. But it just makes it that much moist The outside is crispy. Inside moist. It was the single best bite I have had in years. I am in love All is good in the world with this cornbread Tomato Caesar. Our meal took a dip here after three unbelievably fantastic dishes. Were they fine. Yes. The toppings were so strong. I really couldn't taste tomato. While these look great, I'd say skip this dish. Order the green salad instead Next the steak : at $149. I was hoping for greatness. It mostly was. I took a the middle slice and it was great. Our bone marrow was a bit stingy. Only had enough for two slices. But it definitely enhances the steak! As we ate from the middle out. (Animals I know). It bacame apparent that everything but the middle slice was over cooked (ordered medium rare). This steak was cooked medium. So much so the outer 1/3s are dry. A bit disappointing for $150 steak. The server never solicited feedback on the food as it was served, even when we asked to box up half the steak. As they cleared plates.. we did get a "how was it,". Bit not a real check in as to how our food was The mashed potatoes were perfection. I did add some salt that was served with the steak to them as they were slightly....just slightly under seasoned. But still. These are pretty perfect mashed potatoes. We topped it off with cobbler (peach blackberry). It was great. And a small scoop of $9 ice cream .. cookies and cream. I'd skip this favor. Too much cookie. Not enough cream. Al in all. A really wonderful meal. The steak, even though it wasn't cooked perfectly . Was still delicious. That cornbread does live up to the hype. It is my best bite of the year for sure We have reservations again next week. I'm already looking forward to it!

Dunsmoor (Glassell Park) Review…read more Overall: 4/5 Ambience: 4/5 The restaurant has a great atmosphere, but it was extremely loud and very crowded inside. It made it a little difficult to relax and have a conversation. Service: 3/5 The staff was friendly, but they seemed overwhelmed. The restaurant was packed, and it felt like they accepted more guests than they could comfortably handle. It took quite a while for someone to take our drink order, and the food also took a long time to arrive. Noise Level: Very loud Food: 4/5 The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, and the food quality is there. That said, it feels like Dunsmoor has reached "hipster hype" status, where the buzz may be a little bigger than the overall experience. I'd definitely go back, though, because there are still several appetizers I'd like to try. What We Ordered: - Chicken Liver - 5/5: Absolutely delicious. The rich chicken liver paired perfectly with their incredible sourdough bread. - Green Chile Stew - 5/5: Outstanding. It was packed with large, tender chunks of pork, and the fresh flour tortillas were amazing. - Trout - 3/5: The biggest disappointment of the meal. While the fish was meaty and cooked well, it lacked flavor and felt very basic. - Famous Cornbread - 4/5: Good, but it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Final Thoughts: Dunsmoor serves some excellent food, especially the chicken liver and green chile stew, but the overall experience was held back by the long waits and noisy dining room. I can see why it's so popular, but I think some of the excitement is driven by hype. Even so, I'd come back to explore more of the menu.

I came here right at opening on a Sunday morning and was able to sit right away down at the bar area inside. I was gonna grab breakfast - most likely the pancakes, but I saw that some pasta dishes were available. I ended up ordering the linguine al limone. I'm sure I would have been happy with the pancakes, but so glad I opted for the linguine. The pasta was perfectly cooked and it was a bright and tasty dish with a slight citrus zest. Such a fun dish to eat. Especially in the morning where I was able to enjoy with a nice cappuccino. Definitely a place I would like to come back and enjoy with another person or a small group. I got there pretty much right at opening on the weekend so there was plenty of street parking nearby
