The Dresden Restaurant & Lounge

The Dresden has the vibe and history, but the food has really slipped into mediocrity the last couple of times I’ve been. I usually order the salmon, but it’s been consistently bland and forgettable. My husband’s second attempt at the filet mignon came with a béarnaise sauce that was way too thick, lumpy, and gritty, with a strange chemical taste. It completely lacked the smooth, creamy consistency you’d expect from a proper béarnaise. The steak itself, however, was cooked perfectly medium rare and was excellent. His sides of potatoes and broccoli were just basic. The Caesar salad was another letdown — very mild in flavor and in desperate need of more lemon and some anchovies to give it that tangy, umami kick that makes a Caesar shine. The escargot was just okay; two shells were complete

Our waiter Fred made our first experience at Dresden so memorable! You can feel history kiss you on the lips as you walk through the door and enter a different world. The forest motif of the dining room, the live music in the lounge, the dim lights and lively chatter add to the warmth and delight of this place! We started with delicious calamari, and then had a Prime Rib (comes with potato and veggie), Filet Mignon, and Chicken Piccata. Everything was amazing! We ended the night with the Spiced Apple Tart and Flourless Chocolate Cake (a la mode)! This place is a must visit. My only regret is that I’ve waited so long to dine here. RESERVATIONS recommended. Parking on neighboring streets was fine.

I’ve been wanting to try The Dresden for a while, and finally booked a table on a Saturday night. Surprisingly, the dining area wasn’t very busy, and I quickly saw why. The dining room itself feels a bit outdated, and while service was attentive and friendly, the food was disappointing. We started with fried calamari, which unfortunately was rubbery and not fresh, so I had to send it back. For mains, I ordered steak and shrimp scampi — both were just average, with the shrimp lacking freshness and flavor. Overall, the food didn’t justify coming here for dinner. Afterwards, I moved to the lounge, and that’s when the night turned around. The live jazz band created a fantastic atmosphere, and the lounge was lively, fun, and exactly what I had hoped for. Bottom line: Skip the dining room, but

Banger! Always a vibe! Love bringing family and friends to experience The Dresden✨ Amazing live music, good drinks, great food and service is on point. Can’t wait to celebrate my birthday here in a few months.

This is a really cute spot. Went there on a Thursday night and there was live jazz. I really enjoyed the special cocktail menu. Our waiter Michael was very friendly and helpful. Great ambiance too. Parking is street only and that was a little tricky.
