The FeastJune 14, 2011Great spot for power lunches. And you'll be remiss to pass up the pastry-capped mussel bisque, served in a lion's urn with a jigger of sherry poured into it tableside.
If you're watching your carbs, ask for something "Pablo Style". My turkey burger was to die for!! (Yes I got fries. Don't judge me) :)
- Check out the time in the mirror at the bar, then turn around. OK, "everyone" knows their signature mussel bisque is superb (and salads, entrees, desserts, cocktails, service and patrons).
Susan KingAugust 25, 2017Bisque is thin but rich & yummy; Spare ribs are awesome! Pork chops were huge serving; crime bulee & cobbler were both fabulous- Great place to stop for a power lunch. Service and food are excellent, and there are free newspapers for your reading pleasure. Love Dobsons!

Here at this quaint place with my friends who happen to be all lawyyers!!!!

"A longstanding diner gets a swanky mid-century modern makeover from Johnny Rivera (Hash House, The Tractor Room). The desserts and homemade pies are standouts."
