    Wonderful dinner at Dawson’s Steakhouse! Started with a very enjoyable bartender, serving us martinis in the bar. We sat down for dinner and had a fabulous Caesar salad, then a filet cooked perfectly with truffle butter and Bernaise sauce. The Caesar salad was so good. We asked if the Chef would share his dressing with us, one of the best dressings we’ve ever had on a Caesar. Service was great. Highly recommend Dawson‘s for a wonderful steakhouse experience.
