   We selected this venue because it was a steakhouse and we eat strictly gluten free. Because there was a Concert at the adjacent venue, they had a limited menu (that didn't include their primary steaks). We asked for a wine list when we arrived (their website indicated a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence). We specifically included Gluten Free in our reservation and reminded the waiter when we sat down. He checked with the chef and came back to tell us what appetizers and entrees we could have. We then had to ask for a wine list a second time. We finally placed our orders and selected a bottle of wine, which was on a rack on the wall (no refrigeration system). The glassware was pathetic. Ultimately, revisited the website to find that the award was granted 6 years ago (and their was obvious change-over in people who actually cared about wine service). The table next to us received their food, and two of the four had ordered the same Steak Freitas as my wife (who has celiac). The truffle fries parm looked amazing, but were clearly deep fried. We stopped the waiter and asked if they were fried in a dedicated fryer.....he checked with the chef and the answer was "NO, but we'll substitute mashed potatoes".... In summary, the staff has no clue how to deal with Celiac Disease, even the chef is clueless, service is extremely slow, the limited menu is marginal at best and the Spectator wine award is no longer valid. Pick a different restaurant.....even if you have to walk somewhere!

   When the restaurant became busy or “hectic” as our waitress said, they closed off all cocktail orders and only allowed beer and wine. Not what you expect from a nicer, upscale restaurant.

   Great experience at the Dime we went for both breakfast and dinner in one day. The staff was courteous, prompt bringing our food out, and made sure to check frequently to make sure we did not need anything. Fantastic experience!!

   Their Valentines special menu was very expensive, at $70/person and the place was empty -I guess no one else wanted to pay this high dollar ticket for the food... the table setting was just a bare wood sticky worn table, there should be a white tablecloth and candle. And the service was a huge disappointment, just not professional or appropriate for the price we are paying for this menu, grabbing silverware from other tables and handing to us while holding the part that would go in your mouth. The meal was mid level at best, the filet was fatty and hard on the outside and the dessert plate was a pathetic small jelly filled tiny donut and small chocolate and a stale small piece of red velvet cake. Not worth it at all. Sorry we wont be back.

   Service was really poor. Had to ask for water refills. Ordered drinks for main course. Had to ask where they were and almost done with dinner when we finally received. The Dime did comp us for drinks. Had to-do food before we received dessert. It was never brought to us. Left without them. Didn't realize we never received until we arrived home.

    We were visiting the area from out of town, we took a chance dining at the Dime when we found it on Open Table. We used the valet parking at the Renaissance Hotel which was very convenient. We had a nice lunch with very good food. The big windows made it bright and cheerful in the restaurant despite the cloudy winter day. The service was excellent, from the gentleman who greeted us and took us to our table to the woman who served us. The staff were all professional, friendly and seemed happy to be at work. I will return here again when in the area.
