I have had brunch and dinner at Dharma and both times they exceeded my expectations. The bartender is very good at what he does, very social, entertaining, and knowledgeable on the entire menu, bar, just everything. The food is positively delicious. Brunch on Sunday is a buffet style with made to order eggs. They offer any variety of eggs to order along with a special omelette of the day if you like. Last week's offering was light and delicious filled with cheese, jalapenos, tomaotes and mushrooms. It came out piping hot, fresh and exactly cooked how an omelette should be cooked. The buffett offereings were delicious as well with a good variety of items to choose from. The area was kept clean, neat, hot and stocked well. The bread pudding was out of this world as was the pasta, sausage, bacon, potatoes, well - you get the picture! Dinner menu is well thought out offering a variety of dishes of which I have only tried the scallops and salads which are wonderful but so many things look good it will need me to go on many more trips - thank goodness. This is a romantic restaurant at night in my opinion with the ecclectic furnishings, low lighting and good humor and professionalism from the staff. I highly recommend a glass of wine and a cozy dinner with your special someone at this delightful place.

Pros: Sunday Brunch, atmosphere, great food all around

Cons: Nothing
