I always order the same thing.. perfect pair with scallops and normally it is "perfect". Today the medium rare steak was a bit overcooked.. the waitress graciously took it back and while I did not complain, it was 'THE SAME" as the first.. a bit more on the medium side than the rare. Not s juicy at all. I did not complain but will make sure I specify the next time it should be "juicy" and not so well done around the perimeter. Everything else was great.

Dali is a small family-run place. It is just a hidden gem in Sommerville. The food and service were outstanding, we could not have a better celebration of our 2 birthdays. We return to Dali every time we have a chance. Lovely place and very affordable.
