3.5/5 stars This place is a pay at the counter and seat yourself. There's 2 tables in the front, seating inside, and an outdoor area in the back. It was kinda hot inside so would recommend being in the front where there's more space and good for people watching! We got: - coffee cake: sadly this was dryyyy. Maybe it was old but we didn't finish. - vanilla latte: it was good! Can't mess up a vanilla latte - tuna melt: this was $18.... Not worth $18, maybe $15... but it was good! There were 2 pieces of anchovies There's a single stall bathroom in the back and a water station so you can self serve. read more

I tried takeout from here recently, the quiche and the blueberry corn muffin, and both were delicious! The quiche was small but moist and flavorful with savory little bacon pieces in it and came with a salad, and the corn muffin wasn't too sweet and came with a nice butter on the side. The muffin was a tad dry and I do wish it came with a jam as well, but still yummy. I'll probably go and sit down next time, but I like their simple menu and vibe. read more

We stopped in for dinner after passing by this place by chance, and I'm so glad we did! We've since gone twice for dinner. The interior of this restaurant is so cute -- like a cross between a fun diner and someone's stylish, pastel living room. The service is also excellent. Mainly, though, I think the food is great and fairly priced: having tried several things on their menu, the highlights are the caesar salad (fresh and huge with lots of cheese and perfectly crunchy romaine), the roasted half chicken (tender and wonderfully seasoned), and their famous lasagna (only available on weekends). The roasted half chicken and the lasagna are humongous, definitely big enough to share, so we usually split that and a caesar salad or another app for two people, and that's plenty. I'm so happy to have Dilly Dally in the neighborhood -- it's the perfect place for a catchup or a cozy date that feels upscale and tastes delicious without breaking the bank! read more

Awesome dinner experience at Dilly Dally! The servers were super friendly and the space itself is cute and cozy. My friend and I got the crispy eggplant and bean dip to share. The eggplant was delicious and had the perfect level of crisp. The bean dip was good but too salty. I felt like I needed to get the right amount of dip on the right amount of bread in order to offset this. The flavors in the dip were great though. I got the steak and fingerling potatoes for my main. The steak was tender but a little overcooked for medium-- I still very much enjoyed every bite. I also appreciated that the steak was grass-fed. All in all, I'd definitely return! read more

Very cute spot! We came with a baby and they were able to stow the stroller in the back porch area. The inside is light and brightly colored which adds to the fun ambiance. Food and drinks were also good, priced ok for the neighborhood. We got the chicken salad sandwich, yogurt bowl and French toast. We each got a cocktail and cup of coffee. The Bloody Mary was spicy in a good way but I still added Tabasco for an extra kick. I would definitely go back and will try more of the menu. read more

New casual dining in a space that can't keep a resto in there. I hope this one sticks cause despite me not loving it. I think they are on the verge of being really good. Burger is the bomb. I don't think the menu does justice in describing what it is and how it comes but def get it. I was underwhelmed with the lasagna. It came barely warm and I asked to reheat and it just didn't hit the mark for me. We didn't get the meatballs but that and the caesar looked good. Service was ok. Again, I think it will keep getting better. Wines are mainly natural and they have a decent cocktails menu with not exuberant prices. read more

Went for brunch to celebrate a birthday. This was the second time we went and it was good. Food was delicious, service great. The place was crowded on this Saturday. We sat close to the kitchen. Only issue was the noise. A bit too loud. But overall, a great experience. read more

Dilly Dally second time visiting, first time dining. Service is top notch, everyone working there greets you with a smile. Good vibes inside is what I'm sayin. (We loved the back patio) Burger is quality, solid portion served with fries. Fried eggplant is crispy and cooked to perfection. Beets salad with ricotta is quickly becoming one of my more favorite apps to get while out dining. This place doesn't miss with their version. Salad was slightly over salted, can be fixed by just asking for dressing on the side. Thank you for the good times Dilly Dally keep doing what you are doing. Match books for guests would be cool addition :) 5 stars read more

We just got the new dilly dally lunch, and it was amazing. Hadn't been, saw the rebrand as a lunch spot, decided to try and couldn't be happier. Chicken sandwich 10/10. Fries great. Ceasar salad great. Cookie 12/10. Service great. read more

This is a bright and cheery new spot in a location that has seen a lot of turn over. The servers at Dilly Dally are warm, casual and kid friendly. The $16 No More Golf Umbrellas cocktail - a boozy Arnold Palmer - was so balanced and refreshing that we decided to split a second one. I especially liked the roasted garlic butter on the bread and the eggplant chips. The $17 small Caesar salad has good flavor, but the croutons should be crispy and the lettuce was too watery. The design of this spot is light and bright with lots to look at - like Apartment Therapy come to life. I don't see tomato soup red used often in restaurant design so it was energizing to see it used so well here. Treat yourself to the $15 brownie sundae! I'm excited to have a new restaurant option that's practical. The kind of place we could go to regularly. It felt a little bit expensive to be a regular hang, but I'll be back soon for sure. read more

Went for brunch with friends from out of town and thought the service and food was incredible. Had the breakfast plate, steak and eggs, breakfast burritos, and pancakes for our kid. Can't wait to go back for dinner. read more

This place is amazing! A real Brooklyn fine. Every dish was phenomenal Lovely ambience Good value for the portion size too.

Lovely decor. And super creative Turkish eggs dish. Really enjoyed our brunch at Dilly Dally.

Fantastic food, great service, chill vibes. Trout was delicious, sourdough was a surprise hit, and the beets were on point.

Excellent vibe and service, great wine and drinks. Had a ton of apps and all were excellent - as a pescetarian I had many options. Get the trout dip, eggplant app and shrimp cocktail for sure. Definitely recommend! read more

Great food great service great atmosphere. Breakfast burrito was a highlight, and they were very accommodating to 2 small children

I'm going to attempt to be constructive here this being a new restaurant, but this was a pretty rough experience. The bean dip was too salty and overly thick like someone was experimenting with making hummus for the first time and then left it out for a day. The burger was just ok. Far too large and nothing special despite being $26. The trout entree also wasn't good. Our waitress disappeared about halfway through the meal without saying anything and left the restaurant. This would all be more forgivable if the food wasn't so expensive. It's really not ok to charge such high prices if you aren't getting everything right or at least clearly trying to get things right. There are just too many far better options in this neighborhood. read more

I know so much goes into a restaurant so I hesitate giving this place a bad review... and it's always possible that it was an off night but I so did not enjoy my food or experience that I almost would like a refund. The dip was extremely salty and I have a high salt tolerance. Both I and my company kept trying to eat it because we came hungry but it was just so salty that it was inedible. It also was cold and I think a cannellini dip should not be cold. The bread served with it should have been warmer or fresher tasting - it was kinda warm but not toasted? Semi warm? I had the fish and I thought it tasted fishy. The sides that it was resting on felt overly and unnecessarily oily and I didn't understand the seasoning. The fries were nice and my friend enjoyed his burger enough but other than that we both left with bad tastes in our mouths. It also felt understaffed in a strange way. I'm all for casual dining but at this price point it didn't feel right. Also, I appreciate an open kitchen but it's a little off putting when it feels like my own kitchen with hamburger buns being removed from a cellophane wrapper. I don't know. If it's meant to be super casual it needs to be more clear and maybe a lot less expensive. It almost felt like there was no management... that no one tasted the food.... Like no one really cared that much. I hope it improves and it's possible that it will. read more
