Simply amazing. We didn't have a reservation, and couldn't have gotten one anyway, because they…read morewere booked solid for two weeks out. So we just walked in, and the host was kind enough to let us sit at the little bar area near the window. I like their ordering system. You have many options --- go up to the cash register and order there, order from the server who comes by your table (or in our case, bar), or use your phone by scanning the QR code. And if you use your phone, each person in your party can do it themselves on their own phone. Regardless, it all gets added to the same order for the same table. Pretty slick. At the end, when it comes time to pay, the app lets you split the check however you want, and you can even see the name of the person that ordered each item. The food was incredible. It's not cheap, and the portions are a little smaller than some might expect at an Italian restaurant. But for us, it was filling enough. I personally had the raviolo, which was delicious. Little did I know that in Italian, "raviolo" is singular while "ravioli" is plural. So I got one giant raviolo on my plate (see picture). I didn't care much for the runny egg yolk on top, but it was as advertised on the menu. All the other food orders were amazing, especially the desserts. I'd definitely come back once my food budget resets.

Salar is an elegant restaurant with an interesting menu and beautifully prepared dishes. We've…read moreenjoyed several special meals here over the years, including this past Mother's Day brunch. For our main courses, we had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, the Salar Breakfast, and an Omelette. Everything was generous and perfectly prepared. The smoked salmon was balanced nicely -- flavorful without overpowering the dish -- and the poached eggs were done just right with a slight firmness. The spinach pairing, both cooked beneath the salmon and fresh on the side, worked really well. The ham on the Salar Breakfast was a standout: smoky, flavorful, and not overly salty. The omelette was cooked perfectly as well. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were seated immediately, our server was attentive throughout, and every request was handled without hesitation. The restaurant was also spotless, including the restrooms. Highly recommend.

We come to Dayton once a year for WGI Percussion world championships in April…read more We usually come here for a nice sit down dinner. The food is Latin American fusion and it definitely gets filled even in the Thursday night that we eat there. Menu seems to change slightly every year. The plating is very appealing and the tastes match the food. Definitely get a reservation, especially in the prime dinner hours. Come here if you are looking for a more upscale and slightly more pricey experience to accompany the good food.

I had the spicy miso maple glazed salmon, or something like that. It was good. The salmon wasn't particularly spicy, but tasty nonetheless. It also could possibly have used some more sauce on top, or something to make it less dry. It came with funny-looking radishes, pickled ginger, lemon asparagus, and a tasty rice side dish. Great meal and great service.

I've been to Lily's a few times, once on the patio for drinks and twice for dinner. Would like to…read morego back and try brunch. The people who run this restaurant seem so nice and dedicated and they really support the community. That keeps me coming back. The space is fun and eclectic, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. That is worth an extra star alone. However, I will say the primary reason we don't come more often is that we don't love the menu. It's sort of a mix between Louisiana comfort and Asian fusion. Nothing we've had has been poorly prepared, just not something we're in the mood for very often. We've had the fried chicken and burgers, both were good. The cocktails have also been good. As mentioned will definitely try brunch, but would love to see a menu refresh.

The deli has a really nice selection of sandwiches. I ordered the large Reuben which was around $14. It was so good I got a second sandwich. The guy working the deli counter also was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place itself had plenty of seating and was quite clean. Definitely a perfect spot to stop in Dayton to get a delicious sandwich and a refreshing beverage. They also had signs posted allowing kids during the day which is perfect - they can play the old school arcade games while you wait for your food! Highly recommend!

It seemed like they had a motto of being nice, which is a great addition.

Wow! We got lucky at Lucky's. Visiting from California. Always looking for veggie options. How…read moreoften do you find a local bar, with 20 choices of draft beer, and vegan options? First. Our server, TAYLOR was the best. So friendly, patient, accommodating, and fun. She made our meal experience. The selection of beers is impressive, and Taylor helped my decision with giving me samples of beers. I went with the Imperial Head Hunter and was happy as can be with this IPA, The food? Incredible. We started with mozzarella sticks and faux chicken tenders as appetizers. Both were great. The mango habanero sauce is more sweet than spicy. But both the cheese and chicken tenders were wonderful. Our appetizer +, was the tequila vegan chili. We don't find veggie chili very often, but this was prepared with veggie chili, beans and soyrizo. It was wonderful. My wife chose the jackfruit Reuben sandwich. Those of us that are vegetarian, miss favorites like Reuben sandwiches. This jackfruit Reuben met the challenge. Delicious and plentiful. I had the Fierro burger with an impossible patty. Definitely not as spicy as I wanted, but delicious nonetheless. Lucky's was a fun place either way, great food, cold beer, lots of vegan options, and a friendly staff. Go there!

It has a Thai-style Marinade, with Peanut Butter, Fresh Cilantro, Cucumbers, Pickled Carrots, Jalapeños, and Sriracha Sauce. I've had peanut butter on burgers elsewhere but those are just a gimmick and don't have thought behind them. Thai food often has peanuts, so this combination makes sense and is fantastic! The restaurant itself is a bit of a hole in the wall. Nothing fancy but they have a lot of interesting and yummy sounding dishes, with many vegetarian and vegan options. I'd love to try other items but just can't pull myself away from The Cobra. They also have a good beer selection and the servers are friendly. Food came out quickly and several people checked in on us to make sure everything was good.

I definitely received my $7 worth of pork, along with the other toppings. The bun is also lightly toasted and I appreciate those little things. I would definitely get this again. The macaroni and cheese is soft and is flavored with black pepper and herbs. It's actually much better than most macaroni and cheese I've had in restaurants around here. The real winner here is that it pairs excellently with the burger toppings. I have extra bits of pork and slaw that I'm eating with the Mac and cheese, and it's awesome. I would order a bowl of this with pork and slaw toppings, seriously. The side portion was $3. I was shocked at how fast they were able to get the food out to everyone. I waited...maybe 5 minutes, if that? Normally I expect to wait at least 10-15 minutes without getting grumpy or watching the clock for lunch. There was a medium size crowd today (about 25-30 people either in line to order or standing around waiting for food). I'm definitely coming back. This is a great food truck!
