As always, a lovely experience at SS Dion. The food is always fresh and the menu is creative and nicely varied. Drinks are excellent and the service is great. We especially felt well taken care of by the waitstaff and the owner.

The crude is beyond compare. We enjoyed fluke, bluefish, tuna, and mackerel. The RI chanterelles were delicious and umami bombs. Entrees were top notch -- fluke milanese and a tuna bowl packed with frisee, yam chips, avocado, rice, and, of course, tuna, with a yummy aioli on the side.

Thank you so much helping our group of ladies celebrate their 25th bookclub anniversary. The sparkling wine toast was a special touch. Outstanding restaurant

The menu has changed and does not have as many options. There were no chicken or shrimp entrees that did not include pasta. We used to get bread while we waited for our meals but we did not.
