This is an American tavern with a wide range of food. Really unique appetizers! We loved the Duck Rillette with toast the most!... The burger and the traditional Icelandic cod were delicious, but not exceptional. The non-alcoholic drinks were bit too sweet.The apricot sorbet was good, but it was too much for us to finish after the sizable meal. In my opinion, the price isreasonable. Service can be a little faster. Overall positive! Read more
First time here with my husband and we loved it! The fish and chips was the dish of the night for me, the drinks were amazing... despite of being non alcoholic! The ambiance was very pleasant also! Our waitress was very sweet, plus informative! The generalmanager Greg was pleasant, kind and very welcoming! Will be coming back! Read more
The Dearborn has an inviting atmosphere, I really enjoyed my experience having lunch with a friend. We sat in the outdoor... seating area on a nice day. The staff was welcoming and assisted us kindly and expertly. We ordered Shrimp and Grits and Oystersas appetizers, both were PHENOMENAL but the Oysters really impressed me. The presentation was artistry and the flavors wereunique and citrus. The shrimp and grits were seasoned so well it tasted like someone’s grandmother was back in the kitchen.For the main course I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich and my friend ordered the duck. The duck dish looked wonderful and myfriend enjoyed it but I was not too impressed by the chicken sandwich. With so many places mastering the chicken sandwich, it isdifficult to say that this one was memorable. It was tasty, but not something I would order again. Overall, the experience wasvery good and I would patron this place again. Read more
If you're in the mood for great food and drink and have a few bucks to burn, The Dearborn is absolutely great. The service was... fast and friendly. The vibe inside is really cool, though a bit cramped if you're a table of 2. The steak, fries, short rib andcreme brulee were all top notch. The drinks were good and strong as well. Definitely recommend a reservation as we would've hada very long wait without one. Read more
Anniversary was the occasion for brunch. It exceeded my expectations!(Make sure to get a reservation!) For drinks we just had... some strawberry lemonade as we had to drive later We got a basic starter of the prosciutto potatoe balls. They. were. mouth.watering. Can't stress it enough for a starter. For main course we got the pepperoni pizza and it was good.... but what sets itapart from other pizzas you might be asking? The house ranch. Asking for it to use as a dipping sauce was the right move. I willsuggest that. It makes me want to go back again!! The final part, they gave us a card for our anniversary and a nice littledesert. :) Read more
Our 15 year old son had found The Dearborn restaurant online. We agreed to try it out and were very happy with the food and... service. I had the Steak & Fries, my wife had the Fish & Chips and our son had the Dearborn Burger. If a lot of pink is aconcern don't ask for medium rare. Both the steak & the burger were ordered as medium rare and both had a lot of pink. Neitherof us were concerned and we ate each fully. The service was top notch, attentive, friendly and helpful. Their own gin is greatas well! We did experience an incident at our table. A guy came in while we were eating and sat at the open spot next to ourson. He started saying can I ask you about your food but then started asking for money. He was not dressed poorly or disheveledand I noticed his ear buds. The staff was on it quickly but it did get heated. Police were called but we were not tooinconvenienced and the staff was very apologetic. Apparently this guy has done this before. Makes you wonder how bad it couldhave gotten but I'm thankful it was just an interesting story. Read more
Food is AMAZING. The atmosphere is perfect and the manager is very friendly and visited every table to make sure everything was... great. They had themed 'Wicked' drinks that were very tasty and aesthetically pleasing. Their homemade buns with borsin are todie for and the brazed beef rib was insane. I will definitely go back if I'm in town. Read more
