I've been visiting Dulin's and taking family and strangers there for nearly a decade. Everyone walks out of there having had excellent food and a great time... I've never had one person ever complain and I've taken a lot of people there over the years.
It's got some of the best food in town. I don't think there is any other place that will ever beat Dulin's for Breakfast and Lunch... (it's a Brunch place really). The food is very healthy and always meticulously cooked to specification. I believe they locally source some of it too and it's delicious.
My mom loves the Club sandwiches... I normally always get breakfast because I'm a stupid creature of habit; I encourage trying both sides of the menu though.
They have great coffee (maybe too strong...) and a bar that my relatives have enjoyed (e.g.: Mimosas and Bloody Marys are excellent). I usually just get the coffee... because I have a problem like that...
They are very much known, at least in my circles over the years, for having excellent bacon. I know my cousin, ALWAYS brings his son in for their French Toast and Bacon. He's a picky SOB too, believe me... but he loves Dulin's French toast and bacon.
The staff is extremely friendly and very meticulous in service and accommodating.
I don't know what's going on in expo but I hear R2D2 screaming sometimes...
It should happen more often I like it when droids scream.
Don't judge me.
They do have a policy concerning Full Parties being present before seated... that's your heads-up.
Some of my friends/coworkers I've brought there, have found this weird too...
Having worked in the restaurant business like... back in ancient times, myself, it does have legitimate reasons. It's not to make people suffer. Probably just wait outside and stay in line until everyone's there... if you get bumped once it wont be long before you're seated anyway.
Quite frankly... if people are late to planned brunches, I yell at them... not restaurant staff. :D
Don't be late to my brunch if I so choose to invite you. I will erase you from such events in the future.
(Brunch is sacred).
In any case, I highly recommend this place... you will not, (should absolutely not) be disappointed.
It can be scary trying new restaurants but there is nothing to fear here.
I had an amazing breakfast at Dillons village café. They have the best potato breakfast is with amazing sausages. They have vegetarian chicken and regular sausage, as well as Irish bangers.
The latte I had was absolutely top notch and they even did latte art on top of it! Amazing views of downtown from the window seats. I will definitely be back to try other breakfast menu items and lunch items. Top notch!
Great atmosphere with lots of seating and disabled access including the restrooms. Amazing staff that is super friendly and helpful in choosing new dishes to try.
