    The Drill is our favorite and we have never been disappointed. Something different and fantastic every time. You have to take whatever the Chef makes which is really cool to experience and not know what is coming. They even pair a wine with the different parts of the five course meal, we have found many new wines that we now look for that we had never tried before doing the different Drills on several occasions.

    We enjoy our evening at Dear Friend. Staff are friendly and provide excellent service . Food is delicious. Cocktails are award winning. We had the pleasure to chat briefly with Patrick who is competing in the World Class Canada finals, with his world class cocktails. Dartmouth has a great culinary scene and I encourage people to give Great Friend visit. Thank you to all at Dear Friend.
