Editorial Review for dbar – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
By serving one of Dorchester's most fashionable menus (mussels in basil-coconut milk, wild mushroom risotto), dbar aims to please area foodies. When nightly dinner service ends at 10pm, the space transforms into trendy nightclub and lounge where patrons sip pomegranate cosmos and ginger-lemon drops while listening to live or DJ-supplied music.

I really enjoyed DBar. It was on my list of places to get to because of its Best of Boston 2006 rating, but I thought I'd be going there for some night life. Instead, Sunday morning a friend was in town and we wanted a place for brunch. I remembered that DBar advertised a Sunday brunch special. Not knowing what to expect, we went in search. The place was a bit empty when we first arrived, but the manager and our server were friendly and accommodating, encouraging us to choose our own spot, and turning down the fan when we said we were cold. The music was a good mix, and the decor is tasteful and comfortable, with wood floors and warm colors. Service was great; if anything, perhaps a tad over-attentive. The food took a little time to come out, but the coffee--which was excellent--kept getting refreshed, and my friend and I enjoyed the time to chat. Our meals were beyond my expectation: I had the wild mushroom omlette with goat cheese; my friend had the french toast with berries; both were exceptional. I'd definitely go back even though the prices are on the high side of moderate (with a good tip our meal was about $30).
Pros: ambience, food, parking, service
Cons: prices a bit high

Food is good, not extraordinary. It's a bar, loud music, dingy. Service was slow, virtually non existent and terrible. Portions are extremely small, not enough for my son or husband. A better bet is the Ashmont grill.
Pros: None
Cons: Small Portions, lousy service, dingy, loud music
