Take time to notice the stuff around you while here from the old bar to the pictures on the wall. Our server Cori was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Very pleasant and professional. Now for the food. Everyone really enjoyed their food. Was celebrating my dad's 93rd birthday. Dad and Stepmom said the salmon was one of the best they have ever had. That says a lot considering their age. My wife and I each had a sampler platter. Both were excellent and well prepared. The wife did say if you are not a horseradish fan don't get the mashed potatoes. Such a wonderful meal and great way to celebrate dad's 93rd.

Also observed one of the employees coming out to his car and retrieving a dog, letting him out for a few minutes then putting him back in the car. Goes inside and gets some food and brings it to the dog and feeds him the food. The vehicle was parked in a handicap parking spot with no handicap tag. The service was not as expected. The blond lady that has worked there for many years was delivering our food from over the wall and not walking around to our table. She did this at least three times. The service could have been better. Sad that this place has gone downhill. We won't be returning. Don't recommend at all.

Sonora Grill Seafood Steak Bar & Grill…read more A note on stars; Sonora Grille is on Burkhardt, and in a small strip mall; I am not inclined to award a strip mall restaurant 5 stars; however.... PULPO BRASAS v PULPO KORA Our server suggested Brasas because she thought Kora was too spicey for us - bad advice - we recommend Kora. What does octopus taste like? Not chicken, not lobster, not...; octopus taste like octopus, and Sonora Grill offers best octopus in Dayton. Began researching Yelp for special Birthday restaurant - usually goto Flemings, Oceano, and/or similar properties. Travel Tip: do check menu Spanish definitions to avoid order errors. An advantage of residing in the Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area is the fact that there are several dining options and Sonora Grille was not on our radar. Also there seems to be a healthy turnover of restaurant properties, and we do attempt to be aware of our options. Our search: Yelp Best Seafood restaurants Greater Dayton Metropolitan Area. One expects Jays and Oceano to be listed; however, there are a few which we would not list. Reviews and ratings can be subjective, and personal preferences may vary; we have no interest in sports bars or "loud" fried food eateries. We can depend upon Yelp whilst researching: Here are 5 Star Reviews for Sonora. Several of these reviews encouraged us to visit Sonora Grill Seafood Steak Bar & Grill. Phenomenal and authentic food... Best tasting OCTOPUS, in Ohio of all places!! Did not expect a fancy seafood place inside of a latin market! I was looking for the perfect place that serves steak and seafood for my husband's birthday..... This place is a hidden gem.... Best food I have ever had in Ohio, great service as well.... We have studied the menu and our plan: FRITURAS DE MAR 21.99 bring 2 small plates to divide Calamari rings, octopus pieces, and seasoned shrimp coated in crispy flour, served with tartar and chipotle dressing. CALDO BIRRIA -- 20.99 serve in two bowls Caldo birria, also known as birria en caldo, is a rich and flavorful Mexican stew that has gained immense popularity for its tender meat and savory broth. PULPO BRASAS 28.99 Perfectly cooked in a butter marinade with garlic, soy sauce, and chipotle served with rice and salad. Mounted on corn husks. FILETE NAYARIT 24.99 Curvina fillet covered with shrimp, octopus, and garlic bell peppers served with rice and salad. Pasta del Mare Seafood mix cooked in tomato sauce, onion with fettuccine pasta. Churro's We do expect to request take away boxes following dining. Throughout our 60 year relationship, my wife enjoys desert as an appetizer, and today is no exception. The Churro's are delivered in a flash; we discovered this special treat nearly 50 years ago during an expedition to Spain and Portugal. The very best Churro's were prepared by roadside vendors, and our friends, Bill and Ellen Rose agreed. I also requested that CALDO BIRRIA be served prior to the entrees, and this is a delightful dish. As experienced Sunday Diners, we arrive at 11:00am to avoid the "church rush." Church folks have not yet discovered this excellent venue. Venue: a distinct Hispanic dining event; large, well-lighted restaurant with very loud music - we encouraged management to decrease volume. Sophia was our delightful young server; her English was passable; she did not quite understand why my wife wanted churros as an appetizer, but the churros soon came, and my wife observed that these taste like Spain. Sonora Grille reminded us of some fine restaurants in Puerto Vallarta. My dear wife finally elected CAMARONES AL GRILL, and we offer 5 stars to menu and to dining. Overall a Five Star experience; pays to get off the beaten path. Following lunch, my wife suggests an Open House to view Benham Grove venues for an upcoming event. Next she opts for a Sunday Estate Sale....

After living in the Dayton area my whole life, I don't know how I had never been to Treasure Island…read moreuntil fairly recently when my mother-in-law took us there. My parents went there occasionally in the 1970s, and from the look of the restaurant, they have not updated the decor since then. I feel like it probably went through being terribly out of style and now circled back around to being nostalgic, fun, and kitschy. My mil thought they would be crowded and didn't want to wait so we went crazy early, 4:45pm on a Thursday...they were not busy at all! Haha We were seated right away and immediately had our water glasses filled and baskets of crackers and delicious fresh bread on the table. Our server was very friendly and attentive and there was also a second employee who kept our drinks filled and dishes cleared, as needed. Between our table of 5, some of the dishes were hit or miss but most were good. I got the bacon wrapped scallops appetizer which were very rubbery but the flavor was ok. My side salad was good, as was the turtle cheesecake.

Salar is an elegant restaurant with an interesting menu and beautifully prepared dishes. We've…read moreenjoyed several special meals here over the years, including this past Mother's Day brunch. For our main courses, we had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, the Salar Breakfast, and an Omelette. Everything was generous and perfectly prepared. The smoked salmon was balanced nicely -- flavorful without overpowering the dish -- and the poached eggs were done just right with a slight firmness. The spinach pairing, both cooked beneath the salmon and fresh on the side, worked really well. The ham on the Salar Breakfast was a standout: smoky, flavorful, and not overly salty. The omelette was cooked perfectly as well. Service was outstanding from the moment we walked in. We were seated immediately, our server was attentive throughout, and every request was handled without hesitation. The restaurant was also spotless, including the restrooms. Highly recommend.

The food is Latin American fusion and it definitely gets filled even in the Thursday night that we eat there. Menu seems to change slightly every year. The plating is very appealing and the tastes match the food. Definitely get a reservation, especially in the prime dinner hours. Come here if you are looking for a more upscale and slightly more pricey experience to accompany the good food.

First impression was it was very small with narrow passageways for both staff and customers. Clearly most people come for the steaks, which are very good. But the rest of the menu is circa 1950 and uninspired. The only included veg choices were stewed tomatoes or veg of the day - boring green beans with sliced almonds. Everything else was an up-charge. And what's with the local supper clubs and enormous hash brown patties?! Maybe give me a couple $ back if I don't want potatoes. Folks at the bar were great, and table service was prompt and efficient. I was disappointed that our server said they couldn't do anything to recognize my Mom's 83rd birthday "because we don't have dessert." But the server at the table next door to us was really creative-she put a candle in a dinner roll and wrote Happy Birthday on a dinner roll for her client. What a nice gesture! For the one place people save for special occasions, you'd think the Pine Club would take pride in making them special. But for a place that brags about only accepting cash and making a US president wait 30 minutes for a table, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Been there, done that, don't need to go again.
