   My friend and I came to celebrate a double birthday and at first it was a little difficult to flag down service but once we were able to get our orders in we were super blown away at how tasty everything was. We started with the Wagyu Scotch Egg Spaghetti which was great. The Prime Rib was incredibly soft. The broccolini and the potato puree were excellent accompaniments. The They even brought two complimentary desserts for us and two servers sang us Happy Birthday!

   We live in Richmond and often feel like we need to go downtown to have this type of dining experience. Beautiful setting, attentive and personable service with Bear, great cocktails and food. Sablefish was one of the best I have had, and sake tasting was something new ! Look forward to going back with friends to try some different menu items. Thank you House of Dawn !

   There was a small hiccup with parking, took us 15mins to find one, but that’s not really the restaurant’s fault. Just make sure to come 20mins before your reservation especially if it’s a sat night. Everything from taste to service was amazing. Definitely a repeat customer here.

   It's officially a steakhouse, serving high-end steaks. Service was great but too Asian. Everything came out all at once, I mean, appetizers, salad, and steaks came out all at once. It's weird for a steakhouse, but great for some Asian.

   RC and our server took great care of us for our dinner! The space was massive so noise levels were great. Our Bluedot Ribeye was great and cooked to our preferred temp!

   The server was excellent. He was communicating constantly, patient, kind, and attentive. He constantly topped up our waters without asking. He changed our plates and cutlery alot, so we always ate with clean dishware. He won the heart of my very picky parents. Good job! These are the things that needed to be worked on, and not the server's fault all. Half the menu was unavailable. The dessert took ages to come. .

   Service staff needs more training . We asked about a certain menu item - 2 staff did not have a clue of what it was . Had to ask kitchen .😡. Other service issue / training needs to be addressed . Opening wine bottle/ where to serve , etc Food was just ok . Nothing too exciting . Music too loud . Server couldn’t even hear what we were saying

    Went here for a business dinner. The place is extremely large and we were the first table to arrive when they opened at 5:00 PM - instead of putting us at a table near the front they placed us next to the noisy kitchen where all you can hear is clanging pots and pans. We came on the day they were launching a new menu and there was lots of confusion. The dishes arrived in a mess—different times, cold plates, you name it. If they were going for “avant-garde dining chaos,” nailed it. The food was actually decently good, and our server was amazing. They stayed calm and friendly despite the chaos, which we really appreciated. House of Dawn might get it together someday, but right now, it’s more of a hot mess than a must-visit. Proceed with caution.
