Every one in our party of five was blown away by each course. Sake and cocktails were equally delectable and service as always was above amd beyond.”

    “This is such a fun coffee shop in Dayton! I had the Gimme Smore latte, and it nailed the flavor (and even had a toasted marshmallow on top). The staff were super friendly, and it’s clear how much care they put into their drinks. The avocado toast was also phenomenal - the avocado is whipped with ricotta which creates an extremely smooth texture. This place is a great place to meet friends and just hang out for a bit - lots of different seating options and it’s not overly loud. Can’t wait to go back!”

    “Apps were delicious. One ordered spicy salmon and it came with no asparagus. Another ordered stir fry and it had no onions, carrots or red peppers. It had only one small piece of broccoli and mushrooms and it was cold. For dessert they didn’t have any banana pudding. Menu sounded great but the food didn’t match the description. Probably won’t go a second time.”

The chicken looked like something we would buy at Sam’s Club from a frozen bag of grilled chicken with some veggies. Not cooked in any sauce. The sauce served on the side. The yellow tail sashimi was great presentation and taste!! The we had dessert for my bday!!”

I had nigiri, edamame, wanton tacos and two sushi rolls - each of them unique and delicious. The service, too, was excellent. If you are looking for a really fun place with a special atmosphere, check out Dozo. Five stars!”

    “Mudlick Tap House is easily becoming a regular spot for us. The food is always fantastic—you can tell they actually put care into the menu instead of just serving standard bar food. Their beer selection is great, and the cocktails are always mixed right. The best part is just how comfortable the place feels. It has a great energy without being too loud or pretentious, and the staff is genuinely friendly and down-to-earth every time we walk in. Whether you're dropping by for a quick drink or staying for a full dinner, it's just a really solid, welcoming place to hang out.”
