The food is simply fantastic!! The owner/chef is amazing. Quality is a word that simply can not be over used when talking about this place! Every dish I have had has been cooked to perfection! The best way I can describe the food is 5 star technique with a down home style. The portions are extremely generous and the price is more than fair, if not actually under priced. From sea bass to baramundi and salmon, to chicken and steak, there is no way you can go wrong with anything you choose!!!

The food is fantastic every time I visit! The chef is friendly and personally checks on us to make sure our meal is good. This is an outstanding place for the holidays with family or a quiet date night.

Ill admit one of the best house salad's i have ever had other then that service was terrible took 30 min to get a drink after sitting down with only 3 medium tables. Then order and eat appetizer which was the ravioli's they tasted like the ones from walmart, the waitress then brings out our check and ask if we need to go boxes which we havent even got our food yet. We tell her we havent got our food which i ordered the tuna and it came out very much under cooked for my medium request. I tell the waitress and she takes it in the back for like 5 min then brings it out. Tasted like they stuck it in the oven cause everything else was soggy when i get it back and was now rubbery. I normally dont leave negative reviews but i will never come back to this place. Was very hopeful with all the positive reviews but they must be old, hope your experience is way better then mine if you choose to come here.

Dhafers is our go to date night spot. Great steaks and amazing grilled fish selections. Great atmosphere and friendly and excellent service.
Someone please explain to me how this is a "Mediterranean " restaurant? The ONLY thing Mediterranean on this whole menu is salsa and even that isn't really Mediterranean!! IfYou want Mediterranean. Dont go there

They try to present as a fancy restaurant but nothing fancy but the prices. Never order steak here.. they do not know how to cook a steak. Ate there twice and both times the steak was not cooked properly. They cut my steak in half and said "he does that for well done streaks". Two problems with that.. You never cut a steak in half, it makes them dry out when you cook them.. and I didn't order well done. Not only that the steaks tasted like they were way past expiration. Also as chewing as they were was like they were frozen and then thawed in the microwave.. Waiter was dressed like she getting ready for bed, not very professional for a waiter especially for a "fancy" restaurant. And she was fairly rude.I didn't eat more than two bites of my steak, and I usually don't waste food especially expensive food.They must have gone downhill pretty fast since most of the older reviews were good.They do have good rolls.

Food is alright, but they didn't have a trained bartender. By that I mean the person they sent to make my drink didn't know what went into a screwdriver. Ambiance was classy enough, price was insane tho. I guess if you've never left Dexter it might seem ligit though.

My family of four dined here last night and we all loved it! We tried the toasted ravioli for an appetizer and it was good. Nothing amazing, but certainly a generous portion and served with a good marinara. The rolls were AMAZING! Similar to Pasta House rolls, but so much better...light and pillowy soft and completely delicious! My husband and son both opted for the pasta with red sauce and four cheese topping. My husband also added chicken to his. They both pretty well cleaned their plate. My husband also had a Caesar salad, which was huge and my husband said very good. My best friend had the Chicken Beurre Blanc with roasted red potatoes and green beans, which was the veggie of the day. She said it was really good and definitely get it again. I had the Chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes and green beans. The chicken was very moist and delicious, the mashed potatoes were great, and the green beans were fresh and crisp. My only complaint was that the Marsala sauce was pretty runny. I would prefer the sauce to have some thickness, but the flavor was still good. They seemed to only have 2 servers, and they were busy, but we were still waited on in a timely and efficient manner. The ambiance is so surprising! When you pull up outside, it just looks like a bland regular building...but when you enter, the historical beauty is just phenomenal. They've done a really great job of creating a beautiful, welcoming environment that is perfect for any occasion! We will definitely be back!
