"It both pains and saddens me to write this review. I, my family and friends have been customers of Dawson's since they opened. We've even had a couple family reunion dinners in their banquet room. It has been nice to have a pretty decent local establishment to support versus any of the chain places around town. Unfortunately my last 3 times there have been way below par for what I had gotten, and come to expect, from Dawson's. Recently a long time friend visited Indy and wanted to try a local place. Dawson's immediately came to mind. My friend ordered beef stroganoff and I had the sirloin steak as, for not being a steak place, it was always good. Upon being served it was obvious the stroganoff was not fresh and was barely warm. The sauce was still gelatinous! My steak was gray and also obviously not cooked right. As they were busy we suffered in silence and ate what they gave us. I was so embarrassed after talking up this place to my friend. My next visit there was for my sister's birthday. We both ordered a steak. I was hoping last time was a fluke. It wasn't. My steak was actually cold to the touch. While she said she's had better there before, hers was acceptable enough for her to heat. Now tonight. I dined alone praying for a return of the good steak dinner I'd had so many times before. It was actually the worst. The cut of meat was entirely different. In all previous dinners the steak was about four inches square and about an inch thick, a sirloin filet if you will. Tonight's steak was triangular and not even a half inch thick. While it was at least warm it was not the way I ordered it. And TOUGH. I think they got it off the bottom of someone's shoe. So with three consecutive lousy dinners, I am done with Dawson's. You know, three strikes and you're out. An argument can be made that since I didn't make them aware of any of these they didn't have an opportunity to make it right. My response would be that after 17 years of above average meals to have 3 awful ones in a row tells me their cooking standards have dropped significantly. And I am not willing to pay for what their current standards are. It truly does make me sad."

"My son was in from California so we wanted to take him to Tony’s. We have been before and think highly of the restaurant. Positives: Calamari, wedge, steaks and pasta were very good.Positives: My mother who is very picky loved her steak although she did send it back because it was not hot when it came to the table. She still raved about it even after that. That is really something.Negatives: Lobster tail was so over cooked it came out all curled up. It took me a minute to even figure it out. I sent it back. They asked if I wanted another one. I said “no”. I was getting full anyway so no reason to add another to the bill since they obviously do not know how to cook it. Suggestion if you don’t know how to cook it then take it off of the menuNegative: Preoccupied waiter. I would have gotten a glass of wine with dinner. Waiter never asked. I have been to Tony’s before and have had very attentive waiters. Not this time.Negative: Not Tony’s fault but a large table by us were drunk and very loud. Negative: I have no desire to come back. Their steaks are very good but if you can’t cook a lobster tail it puts Tony’s as a great steakhouse in Indy at the bottom of the list. Their credibility is gone to me. Suggestion: Bringing a nice piece of desert to the table on the house would have been a nice gesture and then I may have wanted to come back. They had a full house so a party of was probably not a priority"

"Don 't let the LOOK of the place fool ya! My boyfriend Matt I went in for drinks and a steak dinner, before a band took the stage outside. I asked for medium, Matt asked for medium well. Both were sirloins. Matt got medium *rare*... Mine was *WELL DONE* and was only ⅕ high! AWFUL!!!!! They brought both out in 18 minutes, but it wasn 't crowded at the time. So, did they kill the food first? They never brought out Matt 's salad. He 'd asked for a house salad, when we ordered dinner, and 8 minutes later the lousy bar waitress came back and said, Caesar salad, right? Matt said okay, he 'd take that. She was too busy being a cute li 'l millenial, I guess, to do her job. The salad was supposed to come out before the meal but never ever did. Not EVEN after we said something! His baked potato was only 3½ long, much smaller that what they USED TO give ⅓ less the size from times before! , even a month ago. That seems how it IS down here in Fla. Everyone is on a mental vacation and doesn 't care. Can 't be bothered. Shoddy work, inattentiveness, is rampant. SAD! My wild rice and green beans were the only things that were A 1 perfect. It never used to BE that way, overall. It was horrible. P.S. We had trouble with the same female bartender, months before, screwing up our normal, uncomplicated order. When we told her, she actually turned her back on us and said a bland Sorry over her shoulder, then walked away. The steak itself was fine before this last time, the drinks always strong. We were comped for the poor meals but left hungry."
