   Great food and customer service. Will definitely return to try more items on the menu. The chicken and waffle appetizers are da bomb!

   Welcoming greeting upon entering Host seated us and was specific about the 90 minute time limit. After that nothing no water,no service Manager was not attentive, walked right by our table i even called for him, he obviously didn't hear me didn't look at any of the tables he walked by just was on a tablet Told another host we didn't have a waiter or waitress, he said I'll let her know. Another 15 minutes went bye we left. Seated at 325pm left at 410pm. Very dissatisfied for this too happen during Mother's day weekend. Just for the record they were not that busy, I say this because there were 2 open tables in the restaurant during this time. If we ever decide to come back we would suggest adding the HYDE PARKER DRINK TO THIS MENU LUKE YOUR OTHER SPOT ITS FANTASTIC

   Hello, Ronald. I'm Quentin, a manager at Dawn Eatery. Firstly, I am very apologetic about your visit. I cannot speak firsthand to what exactly what went wrong with your table and why you weren't serviced, but it is unacceptable regardless and not a reflection of the integrity we take in hospitality. I will for sure find out what happened in this instance and rectify this for you. You had a reservation for two, so I will apply 2 free entrees to your next visit. My apologies once again and I do hope you consider Dawn as a dining choice.

   The establishment is impeccable! From the ambiance, kind staff from when you walk into the restaurant and delicious food and spirits! The owner came by our table and was very personable and made you feel comfortable! The long windows offer so much natural light which is something amazing and really sets to vibe! I highly recommend the biscuits and deviled eggs as appetizers and shrimp and grits which was cooked perfectly! I will definitely be returning to try the other food and drink items! 10/10

   Everything I tried to order was NOT available. Vendor mistake? Apologetically and cheerily a discount was mentioned for the inconvenience, but do not appear on the check. Next time I’ll call ahead to insure supplies have arrived. 🙁

   Hi, Nathalynne. My name is Quentin, a manager here at Dawn. Apologies about item unavailability. We did have issues with certain items being improper to sell so we decided to make them unavailable until we had proper means to bring the highest quality product out of the kitchen. Since you didn't receive the discount, I have attached a free entree to your phone number. On your next visit, give the server(dine-in) or host(takeout) your phone number to redeem. Again, apologies for the mishap. Have a great day and hope to see you back soon.

   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.
