    Everything was perfect!!!! The food had the right temperature; the service had the right smiles; I was late for my seating and it wasn’t a problem.

    A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Unforgettable View! My Valentine’s Day at Sun Dial Restaurant was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and breathtaking panoramic views of the city. The atmosphere was elegant yet cozy—perfect for a romantic evening. The food was absolutely exquisite. Every dish was crafted with precision, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was flawless. The wine selection was also top-notch, pairing perfectly with our meal. What truly made the night special was the ambiance—soft lighting, a gentle rotation that gave us different views of the skyline, and impeccable service that made us feel like VIPs. It was an experience we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a romantic dining experience, especially for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day, Sun Dial is the place to be.

    Wonderful experience! The ambiance was very nice and the service was phenomenal. We were there at the end of lunch, but my husband wanted a steak. While we were willing to settle for the lunch menu which did not include steaks, the server was very accommodating and came back to offer my husband the opportunity to get a steak. This made my husband's first experience great! Thank you!

    Made a reservation specifically to go have oysters and ended up having a little bit of everything on the menu, and it was all delicious. Our server was so kind to answer our gazillion questions, made informed recommendations, and also talked TikTok videos with our table. Admittedly, this wasn’t a spot high on my wish list, but it’s become one of my faves after one visit!
