Chef Tom Douglas has lost none of his culinary edge and the Dahlia Lounge remains a gastronomic institution. Red walls, low-lit paper lanterns and touches of Eastern artwork create a cosy ambience.
Appetisers lean to Japanese-inspired seafood specialities, while the mains highlight juicy meats from the grill and rotisserie as well as Dungeness crab cakes, pan-roasted
Alaskan halibut and other fresh seafood.
Desserts, made in the restaurant's own bakery, are legendary.
