• Woah, their menu went all deconstructed after the New Year - see the Hunters Consomm and the freeze dried ice cream Pecan Banana Bread

• The $11 Field & Stream at The Dawson is made with Famous Grouse scotch, Benedictine, spiced ginger hazelnut and lemon. Served hot, the drink has the lightness of tea with the spice of cider.

• Nice selection of unique beers. A bit expensive, high end. Good wine selection. Excellent atmosphere. Don't forget to check out the upstairs.

• Had an amazing assortment of seafood last night at The Dawson. They can do a mean raw bar - hope they put the crab claw salad and ceviche on the menu soon!

• The fireplace upstairs is pretty cool. Not opened yet. Very loud but the atmosphere was cool.

• Cozy lighting. Great food. Slow on drink service and really loud needs some kind of sound buffer
