Went to Dominion for the 1st time to celebrate my 9 year anniversary with my boyfriend (yes, "Bf" even after 9 years eyeroll) & was pleasantly surprised. It has a warm, sophisticated atmosphere and very relatable to a classy downtown hotel restaurant.

Right off the bat I was greeted by a nice hostess who guided us to our table. Our server, Amber, was very attentive and personable. For those wanting a classy "on the rocks" bevy - I highly recommend the Old Thyme Fashioned, which includes Bourbon. It's a nice sipping drink. You can taste the thought and precision the Bartender takes in creating it. Those who are keen beer drinkers, you NEED to try the Lemon Radler.

Our appy arrived (Pork Dim Sum and CAVATAPPI Mac n Cheese) - you can taste the freshness and quality. Sharp cheddar, crunchy texture, far from bland. The pork dim sum melted in your mouth. The chefs knew what they were doing. It made us excited to have dinner. So many options to choose from I will have to go back to try the others! But Amber strongly insisted that the Korean Beef Ribs are one of the BEST items on the menu. Keep in mind, I am on a date. Is it NECESSARY for me to eat these dinosaur ribs? Well, Amber sold me on it and I am very thankful she did! The melt-in-your-mouth ribs, covered in that tantalizing Gochujang chili bbq sauce, I am already craving it again. Amber was not playing around though. Let me explain. After our dinner -- I discovered Amber was not satisfied with the amount of meat that were on my ribs. Afterall, she SOLD me on them. She let the chef know this, to which he came out and apologized to me. It was a very thoughtful gesture -- he then told me he was making me a new batch. This was an unexpected surprise. Keep in mind, I did not complain once. I thoroughly enjoyed them but can understand they have their quality standards and it is nice to know that they value their customers in such a way that even if we don't voice up, they will still hold their standards & do what is right for the customer.

My boyfriend enjoyed his medium rare sirloin, which was smothered in a rich garlic butter. I had a nibble of it, 1 word to describe it: Umami. I forgot to take a picture of the dessert, but it is to die for. Chocolate Fudge Brownie. It was so warm and gooey, on a bed of caramel.

I highly highly recommend Dominion -- whether it is a group or a couple, the menu and service do not disappoint. I will be back again! My sister is already jealous that I went without her so looks like she is next!
