Best Lunch Restaurants in Dayton

We brought my Dad here for his 80th birthday. There was complementary valet which is great on a busy Friday night. We had a warm welcome from the reception staff and were quickly seated with a birthday card and confetti on the table. Our waitress Jherri was amazing! She was very attentive and pleasant to banter with while we ordered and enjoyed our food. The food was great, but my lasting memory will be the overall and exceptional customer service from Jherri.

Cooper’s Hawk is becoming one of our favorite mid-priced dining choices lately and today’s visit was as good as all the others. An eclectic menu offers plenty of options to satisfy just about anybody’s appetite of the moment. Service is excellent, too. The house wines, a feature of this chain, have gotten much better over recent years. Some of the dry reds especially hold their own nicely with big-name brands.

The risotto was excellent. Ordered protein on the side. Drinks were good.

Must try - the beer cheese and pretzels - awesome! Great choice of salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups and entrees. Our server was accurate and attentive enough - not enough to interrupt our great visit with friends. We like everything we have tried - especially the salads.

We’ve had multiple entree’s at Thai 9 and our meals have been delicious, had great presentation, and staff has been very attentive! We especially like the Sushi, Sashimi, and Nigiri. Try the Boat!
