Been to Dina’s many times. The last three times it seems like it’s going down hill. The veal chop Marsala wasn’t up to par. It had chicken stock and no Marsala wine. Not good at all. My wife had the same. We used to love it there but something’s off. Maybe different chef. We went at least 12 times in the last year. Sorry to say we won’t be back. 🥲

This was our third time and the service just continues to be slow. Waited 45-60 minutes for our food after we finished our apps. We won’t return.

Another fabulous dining experience at Dina's Bistro! We weren't rushed through our meal which was nice. Almost three hours for three courses! The small charcuterie board was MORE than enough for four people- and it was delicious (but maybe some crackers would make it perfect). The entrees are huge- expect leftovers with most selections. I'll be eating the chicken scarpariello for at least two more meals. My husband ordered the land and sea; a crabcake, grilled shrimp and a filet mignon. Well worth the price tag. Don't leave without trying the almond cake w/homemade pistachio ice cream. It is to die for! I'll admit that we don't come to this BYOB as often as we should and I'm planning on changing that. It is a hidden gem, so don't go without reservations! The dining room was packed but the staff never stopped smiling.

This was our first time dining here with friends. The food was terrific. I had the mahi mahi (which is very easy to overcook) and was delicious and prepared perfectly. Everyone else seemed happy with their meals as well. My only issue was my husband’s food was delivered far after the other three meals. However, to make it up to him, they offered an apology followed by a complimentary dessert choice (apple cake was fantastic!). Things happen and they handled it well, so I commend them for great food and service. Can’t wait to return to this BYO!
