   This was our 1st time & we were visiting from out of town & heard good things. We got lucky & was able to get parking on a Sunday which is hard to do, I'm told. Although we had a reservation for 5p we didn't get seated until after 530p so that was slightly inconvenient. The food was very good. Some of our party said the chicken was not seasoned to their liking. Overall, the food was delicious & the experience was awesome. Would definitely go again.

   Hi, NaRee. Quentin here, a manager at Dawn AM Eatery. We are pleased you enjoyed your time with us and hope you back back very soon. As we understand street parking is tough in Hyde Park, you may utilize the 5th floor of the Solstice parking garage located on 56th Cornell. It is a free to use garage for patrons of Dawn.

   Horrible customer service. As soon as we sat down took them 15mins to bring water, menus,& silverware. Order the catfish dinner after waiting for 2hrs on our food and drinks they came out and said they were out of catfish

   Hi, Ya'Kima. I'm Quentin, a manager here at Dawn. Firstly, my apologies for any shortcomings you experienced at Dawn during your visit. I see that you dined during a time we noticed a food quality issue and that you were informed about 40 mins after placing your order, which I can FOR SURE understand your frustrations behind. After frying a few batches, none came out of quality to serve. We take integrity in what we do and would rather you be frustrated in us not selling something because of not so great quality than frustrated that we brought you out a poor quality dish just to try and make a sale. I see our other manager Ty'Asia offered you two free entrees. I hope you come back to redeem those so that we can redeem the culinary greatness Dawn AM Eatery has to offer.

   Our experience at Dawn Eatery was phenomenal. We were greeted with a smile and courteous service by the host. As the host tried to maintain waiting order at the front door, they politely requested the waiting guests to move to the open area. I was pleased with the way the host staff handled the large group of people waiting. We arrived 15 minutes early and were seated right on time. My husband and I didn't expect what was coming next. Our server (Mario, I think this is his name) was kind and provided excellent service. He gave recommendations and was perfectly attentive (not too much nor too little). The FOOD was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I will return to try other items that I was interested in. I ordered the salmon croquettes with the jalapeno grits, and a biscuit. My husband had the smothered potatoes with chicken sausage. The food reminded me of that good breakfast food someone's grandmother made in the south. Dawn Eatery is my new breakfast/brunch spot with my husband and/or friends.

   Hi, Belinda. I'm Quentin, a manager here at Dawn. Thank you for such an amazing review. Our host staff tackles a quite overwhelming task, especially on the weekends and it usually goes unnoticed. I appreciate your shoutout to them and will for sure let them know. I'm glad Mario could give you an amazing experience as well. Our goal is to bridge generations through recipes and it sounds like we may have done that for you, which we're extremely happy to hear. Have a great day and we hope to see you really soon.
