    Prime rib sandwich with baked potato, both were excellent!
    Erika H.

    We had reservations for nine, they had our table ready early. It was a birthday, we got a free ice cream scoop with a candle. All of us loved our food--the seafood risotto was ordered by two of us and loved! Prime rib sandwich, Cajun chicken sandwich, burgers, fish and chips, fried shrimp, broiled seafood, we loved it all!! The only complaint was that we asked multiple times for water refills and didn't always get them, but it was a busy Friday night and a large party, so it was forgiven!

    North Atlantic Grilled Salmon with remoulade dill sauce

    J.B.Dawson's is just amazing! Everything they serve is top grade and tastes delicious., They have a low cost lunch menu that gives you the same dynamite food and service, but on a budget price tag! I had the wood grilled salmon with broccoli. The fish was succulent and moist, while being fully cooked. It was so delicate and fresh tasting! The remoulade with a tinge of dill was spectacular as a compliment to the salmon. The ambience is very warm, cozy, and inviting for conversation. Try this place, you'll love it!

    Amazing food and drinks at JB Dawson! Hidden gem in Park City Center Mall. But even more importantly, the service is impeccable! The wait staff and bartenders are top notch! They are attentive, prompt and professional! And the food is DELICIOUS! Happy Hour M-F from 5 to 7pm and they have amazing food and drink specials! I absolutely love the bruschetta! Sooooo good! The steaks are always cooked perfectly and I love all the sides! From the shoe string fries to the baked potatoes or lobster bisque! You will not be disappointed. I can say prices are a bit steep for the are but you get what you pay for and it truly is a higher end dining experience with a nyc vibe with red decor and mood lighting no matter what time of day you visit!

    Came in for happy hour and dinner. Happy hour is 5-7 and only at the bar. The drinks were delicious. We also ordered a happy hour crab dip appetizer, which was on happy hour as well. The service was great. It was quick and professional. It's a great spot for a date night or a quick bite.

    I now see why this place has so many good reviews! In May 2021 I came here just for some cocktails and absolutely love the drinks and service. For a while now, I've been wanting to come back and see if the food is just as good. And spoiler alert: it is! I ordered the Texas tenders with a side of fries and the garlic whipped potatoes. The tenders were, dare I say, so moist and juicy! And the batter isn't too crunchy, but it's sooo good! I liked the fries, they're more like shoestring fries, so if you don't prefer that then I'd skip out on them. The garlic whip potatoes were my absolute favorite thing on the plate! And that's saying a lot since I'm not a huge mashed potatoes person! I seriously can't wait until I can come back! I highly recommend the food and cocktails!

    It has been years since I have been to JB Dawson. So while visiting my friend in York, PA, we had dinner there. The food was still delicious. The service was very good and so was the ambiance.

    We were walking around the area and wanted a small bite - salad or some small eats. We walked…read morearound and around and couldn't find anything else that caught our eye so we went back to The Coffin. They welcomed us in, told us to sit at any open table. They stay true to their name with their decor. They were coffin shaped shelves, gothic/satanic themed wallpaper. It's all very well done. Very unique! One of the staff members came over to tell us that their beer and spirits are all from PA. This was music to our ears! We ordered a local IPA. We shared the Brussels Caesar salad. It had crispy brussels sprouts and arugula. Topped homemade crouton. Dusted with Parmesan. It was delicious! Loved this spot! Will go back the next time we're in town!

The vibe leans goth, with a definite metal/punk edge rather than a tightly curated "theme bar" look. It's not as uniformly designed as the name might suggest, but it is interesting and cohesive enough to feel intentional. During brunch, the space is well-lit, and they keep the heavy metal/thrash/punk soundtrack going at a very low volume, exactly the right choice. It supports the aesthetic without turning brunch into a performance. The food is the reason to come. The menu is built around the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Wrath, etc.), and everything we tried was outstanding. Between the two of us we had Lust and Gluttony, and both were excellent, high quality, well-executed, and clearly made with care. Service was solid: efficient, reasonably quick, and professional. Not overly chatty, but attentive enough that you don't feel ignored. Drinks were fine. The mimosa and Bloody Mary were exactly what you'd expect: competent and enjoyable, nothing gimmicky. Logistics are also manageable for a downtown spot. Parking exists in the area, including garages nearby, and it's a comfortable walk if you're already in the city center. Overall: a fun, slightly offbeat atmosphere paired with genuinely great brunch food. If you like a darker aesthetic but still want a bright, relaxed daytime meal, Coffin Bar is an easy recommendation.

I would say there was too much topping but it was tasty.

When you see the sign for the restaurant outside, you go into the alcove and open the big iron gate and go down the steps. It's really cool down there & it has a nice dark speakeasy vibe. There were groupings of couches and tables. We ended up actually sitting at the bar. They actually had comfortable barstools. I would probably recommend a reservation. We had made a reservation for 5 PM and then decided to sit at the bar instead of a table because they told us that all the couches were reserved... But we were there for well over an hour and there were plenty of couches still available when we left, so I'm not sure what the deal was there. The cocktails are pretty pricey going as high as about $19. I had seen online that they had a flight of sparkling wines and before I arrived I was considering that until I realized it was $40. But the cocktails are very well mixed. The food menu I'm sure would not appeal to everyone. It's kind of eclectic and they have some small plates and a few entrées, but it's pretty limited. I would recommend the charcuterie board because you can just pick and choose from the charcuterie menu as to how you want your board created. We were all pleased with the charcuterie board. We would most likely return there for cocktails, but I don't think we would do it as a dinner spot, we ended up going elsewhere to eat our dinner. But I definitely do recommend checking this place out!
