The taste of the food at Dalton's could use a hefty pinch of gusto as customers have found the meals bland and lacking in flavor.

However, the portions are generous and hearty, and the value for money and variety in menu are points in Dalton's favor.

Vibe: Low-energy buzz, positive ambiance

The lackluster buzz at Dalton's may leave those seeking a vibrant or hip atmosphere slightly disappointed. While the restaurant maintains a cozy, home-like charm with its decor, it does not seem to capture the current definition of 'trendy'.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, home-like atmosphere with clean and warm decor frequently praised.

  • Negative Buzz

    Unremarkable atmosphere, not trendy or hip, lacks a vibrant scene.

Perks: Great staff, poor parking

Parking and noise seem to be major obstacles at Dalton's, causing a less-than-pleasant experience for diners. Conversations are challenged by the overwhelming sound level, and finding parking during dinner rush is deemed borderline impossible. Service, however, is a redeeming factor, as the staff has been commended for their friendly and efficient manner. The restaurant seems to manage smaller groups well but gets a mixed review when it comes to accommodating kids.

  • Great Service

    Wait staff consistently praised for being friendly, attentive, and efficient.

  • Okay For Groups

    Good for smaller groups, uncertain about large party handling.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking during dinner rush is pretty impossible to find.
