Late birthday outing at Dream Steakhouse — 10/10, definitely recommend.The vibes were elegant, the food was chef’s kiss, and the experience felt like a proper celebration.
Group of 6 went New Year’s Eve with the expectation that service would probably be slow. Didn’t matter-we had lots of time and enjoy a slow dinner. Arrived at 7:10 with a 7:15 reservation. Sat at the bar after we were told about a 15 minute delay. No problem. 35 minutes later, sat at our table (drinks comped by host). Still no problem. 8:00 made drink order. 8:20 drinks came. Ordered food from NYE menu ($100 per person). Sat til 9:00 with nothing - no appetizer, no bread, no more drinks. We are a drinking table- 3 martinis, prosecco, knob whiskey on rocks, and an old fashioned. The potential bill on this table was at least $1000-$1200 just on bar and dinner. 9:00 talked to manager. 9:05 appetizers, bread, drinks delivered. Sat again til 9:55 with nothing but empty plates and glasses. Wow. At this table were two restaurant owners and two ex-waitresses. We know how this is supposed to work. Terribly poor example of front of house management. Finally walked out at 10:00 hungry, disappointed, and thirsty. This is not the way you want to celebrate NYE. Food looked good, but never got past appetizers. Tipped the waitress for what was served.
We went on our 55th anniversary last week. At first because we didn't have a reservation sat us out in bar area. A table opened up and we moved to private dining area. When we told Leo it was our anniversary he went overboard. Sent us champagne even gave us delishus carrot cake for dessert. We had fish fries but next time a steak. Made us feel special.

We visited Dream Dance Steakhouse for the first time with a party of four, and unfortunately, it was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had.
First off — $50 for a 5oz steak is outrageous on its own, but our server suggested going with the smaller steaks and ordering extra sides to share, which sounded like a great plan. Unfortunately, it went downhill from there.
It took over 40 minutes for our steaks to arrive. When they finally did, each plate had maybe three bite-sized pieces of steak — and nothing else. We assumed the sides would follow immediately, but after waiting another 10 minutes, our steaks were already getting cold. When we mentioned that our sides never came, the waitress looked surprised and ran back to the kitchen. By the time the sides showed up — nearly 15 minutes later and 25 minutes after our steaks arrived— we had already finished eating.
To make matters worse, when we spoke with the manager, Alexandro, he unprofessionally blamed the waitress for the mistake and offered to remove a bottle of wine from the bill as compensation. Honestly, we were shocked and offended by both the offer and how he handled the situation.
The total bill was over $600, and the entire experience was a complete disappointment. For a restaurant that markets itself as fine dining, the portion sizes, timing, and management were unacceptable. We will not be returning and would strongly caution others to reconsider before dining here.

We had the $120 Sunday Feast. Medium rare. $150 with tax and tip. The steak was very tuff. Everything else was great. But steak....Very hard to chew. Like a cheap class cut of meat. Server was excellent! Loved the chocolate cake.

We LOVED our server (Oliver, I believe?) He created the perfect dining experience for our table, beginning to end! Top-notch service. Wonderful focaccia bread with that crispy/salty crust is worth calling out - and those butters! We did the Sunday evening dinner - such a treat.

We always ask for Oliver. He is a well seasoned server, and is professional from start to finish. He knows exactly how we order and is very personable as well. Excellent knowledge of his job and exceeds beyond perfect! Food is always delicious and enjoyable.
Leo, the maître D did an outstanding job and took great care of us and all the customers in the restaurant. He paid attention to each and every table to make sure that everything was satisfactory with the patrons. Although I had an issue with the temperature of the ribeye, he made it right and had the kitchen remake it to my specific order. Our server, OK Kora was super friendly, super efficient and did a great great job and made the evening special and enjoyable. If you go there, make sure you ask for Cora to be your server. You will not be disappointed.

We went to dream dance last night. Multiple issues and quite honestly the worst high end steak house experience I have ever had. I frequent a steak house downtown called Carnevor where the steaks are in the $65-120 range and are excellent cuts and prepared perfect every time. So when I saw a bone in ribeye with a $95 price tag on it I expect an excellent cut of meat and a well prepared steak. It was anything but that. I can honestly say I have had a better ribeye at Texas Roadhouse. My steak was prepared more medium than medium rare and when brought to the attention of the waiter he looked at my steak with the lamp from the center of the table and said “nope that’s how our medium rare is prepared.” Then he looked over at my girlfriend’s Filet which was cooked still on the medium side but more medium rare than mine was and agreed hers was cooked wrong. When asked to remake her steak he said it would be 10 minutes. We waited 35 minutes for the steak to come back out. I was pretty much forced to eat my overcooked steak with no bill adjustment or anything of that nature. We spent 2.5 hrs at this restaurant! I have never seen such slow service at a “fine dining steakhouse”. The only thing I had at the restaurant that was worth the price was the Rockefeller oyster's. To say the least I was extremely disappointed and the price is definitely not justified. I will be going to Texas Roadhouse before ever going to this steak house again. Just all around horrible experience and rude staff.

One waitress for a table of 13. She was very sweet but it took 15 min to get a round of drinks and 2 hrs to get the entrees. What $100+ pp restaurant has one server for a table. Getting drinks, pouring water, making a table side Caesar salad, clearing dishes and dealing with the final bill. They would not do separate checks. You could only use four charge cards per table, so a bunch of us had to scrounge up cash or venmo each other. We’ve eaten many times at Mo’s steakhouse and had at least three servers for a table of two or four. Fabulous, seamless service. That is what I expected for a restaurant of this caliber. I will say, almost everyone’s food was excellent. One bone in fillet was sent back because it was too well done. Two people had a pasta dish that were sent back because they were not hot. Totally unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. I would not go back. We’ll stick with Mo’s steakhouse.

My husband, another couple and I dined at Dream Dance last Friday and were incredibly impressed by the service staff! Everyone looked like they were having a good time which helped us to relax and enjoy our experience even more. The food was absolutely outstanding as always. The ambience was elegant, upscale and comfortable. Can’t wait to come back. We enjoyed a huge arrangement of food from lobster bisque and stuffed mushrooms to New York Strip, Filet Mignon, Filet and Lobster combo, mac & cheese, the twice baked potatoes, and the asparagus was all perfectly prepared! The wine and cocktail selection was abundant and I finished off the night perfectly with a Frangelico! Thank you! Cheers!!
