Their name has changed to Ayari(?). The beef salad is wonderful. This is a little family owned restaurant. Highly recommended.

Had dinner here with my family (all 10 of us!) this past weekend, and I'm still thinking about that…read moreribeye... The moment we stepped in, the modern aesthetic hit perfectly - clean lines, mood lighting, and just enough buzz to feel energetic without drowning out conversation. Our family gathering was greeted immediately by staff who seemed genuinely stoked to have us there. Major points for making a large group feel welcome! The menu is refreshingly concise - none of that overwhelming novel-length situation that makes you second-guess yourself three times. Their drink selection strikes that perfect balance too - enough variety in wines/beers/cocktails to satisfy everyone. They've got some non-alcoholic options as well. We started with the Kimchi Pancake and Brussels Sprouts for the table. Not gonna lie, I was skeptical about the pancake (kimchi can be hit or miss for me), but this was a revelation. The kimchi flavor was present but not overwhelming - just enough kick that played perfectly with the shiso and wasabi remoulade. And those Brussels? It's packed with flavor and disappeared in approximately 3.5 seconds... Maybe less! For my main course, went with my cousin's recommendation - the Koji Aged Ribeye. When it arrived I initially thought "that's it?" But this steak is deceptive. The thick cut topped with Togarashi Butter was significantly more filling than it looked. Cooked to absolute perfection, and that butter situation on top? A flavor bomb of sweet-spicy-savory that had me contemplating licking the plate - don't worry, I didn't! My taste buds were begging for more even when my stomach waved the white flag. That's when you know it's good. If you're anywhere near downtown Dayton, make Jollity a priority stop. Not sure when I'll be back in Ohio again, but would definitely have this resto on my return list.

Jollity is a very aptly named, up-beat restaurant with small menu, craft entrees and good vibes all…read morearound. The inside is a bit small but cozy with the kitchen in broad view. The menu rotates roughly every quarter, and given the use of fresh, locally sourced ingredients, the selection is a bit limited -- handful of vegetarian small plates, a few meat and a few seafood options. For the non-drinkers, they had two non-alcoholic cocktails available, but no NA beer. Beware though, as the NA cocktails were still around $11, which I always find frustrating as they are basically flavored sugar water. We tried the blackhawk beef burger and koji-aged ribeye. The blackhawk burger was a smash burger (thin patties, melted cheese), that tasted delicious. The ribeye was just as expected and cooked as ordered. The star of each of the entrees, however, was the thin cut, crispy fries. Good thing the fries were delicious because the sauces that came with it were quite bland -- would've preferred ketchup. For dessert we tried the bay leaf cheesecake. It was alright, had a subtle smokey flavor that I think threw us off a bit (although that was obviously the point given the bay leaf). Our server Renee was friendly and everything was prompt. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the food was pretty good. Although, given the limited number of options on the menu, you'll definitely want to look at it ahead of time to make sure there is something that suits your palate.

What a find! It looks kind of run down from the street view, but don't let the appearance fool…read moreyou. The inside is clean and well maintained and the food is amazing. The menu includes many Korean staples. I do wish they would offer more appetizers and smaller portion options, but I also understand that being such a small place they have to limit their options. We tried the Tteokbokki (spicy rice cake appetizer) and mandu dumplings. Both were filled with flavor and reasonable portions for the price. You can order the Tteokbokki any spice level 1-5. We split a bulgogi. It was the perfect combination of spicy, sweet and savory and the portion was large enough for the two of us plus some leftover to take home. It was served with a set of small sides (two types of kimchee, and two other sides). Service was fast, friendly and efficient. You check out at the register (which was a bit of an awkward space) but overall, a wonderful experience!

Went back recently to a very disappointing dinner. Portions were smaller. With their pricing, we've…read morebecome accustomed to leaving full but their pricing remains the same and our group needed to swing by McDonald's to fill up. Barely any banchan. Usually there are 6 dishes but they cut it down to 3. We asked if they had cheonsachae but were told they were out. Thats fine as we were told they could keep refilling out other 3. We noticed that each time we requested a refill of the fish tofu, they would bring back a dish with 2 pieces. It would be fine if it weren't 4 people sharing that dish. After the 3rd request to refill, we were told they're almost out of that as well we had 8 slices of fish tofu between 4 people. Disappointing visit this time around.

I am absolutely obsessed with Salar and can't wait to go back!…read more This sleek, upscale restaurant in downtown Dayton is dishing out the best food in the area. Every dish I've gotten and every plate I've seen come out of the kitchen is amazing and a wonderful sight. The duck is a personal favorite. It's always perfectly cooked with the right amount of pink and paired with Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. It also makes an amazing leftover since the portions are so big. The steak though is a dining staple. The Delmonico Ribeye shines at both a rare and medium rare cook and is just so flavorful. That's the steak I dream of and can't wait to have again. The servers are attentive, polite, and helpful when you ask for their thoughts on which dish to order. The bar is quick and makes some great drinks (based on friends' input). Salar isn't so upscale that you can only go for special occasions. It makes for a good mid-week dinner, meetup with friends and coworkers, but it can also be a treat yourself meal.

Had great dinner at Salar. I have to say the dinners we've had planned in Dayton have been winners…read more So starting with apps, the yuka rellno was really nice and spicy with bacially fried croquettes stuffed with cheese and some kind of spicy sauce base. Loved it. They had a complementary snack too, which was nice - like fried pitas and a nice sauce. The corn salad was ok. Then I had a main that was a crepe. They have plenty of vegetarian options, by the way, which is great. The crepe come stuffed with fur nice cheese and san marzano tomato sauce. I enjoyed the dish. Service was like excellent. Our waitress was like in top of things. Really attentive and anticipated our needs. Tent good place and I'd cube back

Good choices to kick things off with and then we ordered all the apps! Good attempt w the Boudin Balls, but it needed alot more sausage, tasted like rice balls. The Muffaletta Deviled Eggs were very salty. Even after taking the olive topping off, the saltiness was soaked into the egg. Now the Grilled Shrimp Maque Choux was off the chain! I could've eaten 20 plates. Off to the entrees, we went with the Jambalaya and the Gumbo. The only mistake was not getting a bowl of Gumbo! It was very good. Cajuns would be proud! I hope the Gumbo is on their regular menu! Cannot wait to come back and try other stuff. Sazerac had a black licorice and ouzo quality to it and I'm not a fan of either of those but ppl who are will love it.

We sat at the bar and had great service from the bartender Heather. We enjoyed some cold wine and deviled eggs. The eggs had a great fresh taste where the dill really stood out but wasn't overpowering. I had the salmon BLT which was delicious. My wife had the chicken avo sandwich and said it was the best chicken sandwich she had ever had. We ordered some chicken fingers for our son and his fiancé to go. They said those were delicious as well. Everyone that worked there was so nice and it was pretty neat to be the final customers at the location. Go give them a try in Centerville!
