We had an unforgettable meal at Dumplin last night. Our favorite dishes were the hamachi crudo, the porchetta bao buns, and the wagyu and black truffle dumplings. The octopus fritto was irresistible and was so light and crispy. Innovative flavors, thoughtful presentation, and service was top notch. For dessert, the scorched s’more sundae is absolute perfection! Can’t wait to return for another date night or with a small group!
