Good food, quiet atmosphere. I like that I can always get a table, the food is solidly good and the price is reasonable. I like this middle tier of place increasingly--good value as compared to the high end of Boston.

Every now and then the place can be a little erratic. Most times the service is great, but now and then it's a little slow. I've eaten there about 5 times and 4 times the food was above what I was expecting and once it was a little below.

I like the variety on the menu and the wine list. Some things seem to stay the same but others are constantly changing. The salads, meat and fish dishes have been consistently good.

All in all a good choice if you're in the area and want a very good meal.

Absolutely Amazing. My boyfriend and I both work in fine dining, so we are super picky. We loved this place. The prices are really good, the food is exceptional, and the ambience is great. I could not reccommend it enough. Wine menu is extremely affordable.

great taste. I love this place, I have been dining here since it opened. All the food I have tried is wonderful! I really enjoy the Dalias salad and the filet of beef. My frineds all seem to love the scallops if I were somebody that ate fish I would too. The food is very high quality for the price, they have a well priced wine list. All the servers traet you very well, they never interupt or rush you.

Nice neighborhood place. Dalia's is a nice, very romantic addition to Washington Square. The appetizers are really good, but the main dishes can vary a little in quality. Some are excellent, some merely good. The desserts have been wonderful every time I've gone. The service is friendly, if a little slow, but the well priced wine list and overall atmosphere make up for any deficiencies.

Good, but not what I expected. The atmosphere was great, definitely a great date place. We were not seated immediately, eventhough we had a reservation. It was actually the guests who decided to take time to finish their water while there was a line of people at the bar. The owner/manager? was very apoligetic however and offered us a free drink. This was the one downside of the limited seating. The food was good, nothing too spectacular, but the cheesecake was one of the best I've had. I was disappointed in the wine selection/service. The waiter was unable to recommend or advise us on our wine selection. The management should have a least advised the staff on what to recommend. I probably won't be a regular patron but its worth a visit.

Great Dinner. I took my wife here for our anniversary. The atmosphere is great. Service was a tad slow - we waited for 15 mins and had three different people tell us they would be right with us - despite having a reservation - and no one else in front of us.

Overall the food was great - and we had a great seat in the window overlooking the Square albeit rainy.

My New Fave. I must say this is the best new spot to dine.

No rush, no attitude, delicious food and a wonderful selection of wines by the glass. The staff was very helpful in choosing wine with dinner and even offered a taste when I was not sure. They were very busy when I was there but I still felt as if I were the only table being served. This place is a "perfect 10"!

Good food, price not entirely reasonable. The CitySearch staff much be far more wealthy than me! The food was good--but really not so well priced in my book (comparable to Wash. Sq. Tavern, just around the corner).

RE food: The lamb they mentioned was moist but more weakly spiced than I would have hoped. The salad with pear and gorgonzola, however, is DELICIOUS and the wine selection is very good. they even know what they're about when they serve it. The temperature was right for the wine and everything--rarest of the rare!

Just note: for us mere up-and-coming professionals, this is not an inexpensive place for a meal.
