À propos
This bar serves Italian cuisine. The recipe for success of Dino's is its nicely cooked prawns, nacho chips and hot sandwiches. Order good crème brûlée, brownies and ice cream. Delicious wine, craft beer or martinis are among the most popular drinks at this place. The intimate atmosphere of this spot allows customers to relax after a hard working day. The nice staff works hard, stays positive and makes this place great. The fast service shows a high level of quality at this bar. Prices here are reported to be democratic. As a number of visitors remark, the decor at Dino's is fine. This place has got Google 4.7 according to the guests' opinions.

I really don't know what to say other than the food was like bad public school food. Dry chicken with no flavor whatsoever and bland juiceless burgers. Will never go back and I regret ever being there. Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
New owners bought what used to be the best local restaurant in WDM, and they turned it into a sports bar and took away everything that made it great. Just sad.

We stopped in Thursday night around 8:20 or 8:30. With the drop in temperatures, it was just us in the restaurant when we arrived. The owner had planned on closing down early for the night but he was quick to make sure we were comfortable, offer us menus, and stayed open until we were done. With the menus changing soon, some things were unavailable but the owner was very accommodating, ensuring we were able to place our orders and get drinks that appealed to us. We ordered the chicken parm pasta and the Caesar salad, both of which were great. Would highly recommend their mules as well. We ordered the grape mule, and it was excellent. Will be going back to explore their new menus soon. A big thank you to the owner for staying open for us and providing great service! Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

To say this was the worst dining experience of my life, wouldn't do it justice. It was in a class of awfulness all by itself. I brought my date to Dino's because of all the wonderful experiences I had in the past. Apparently, Dino's has a new owner as of August 2023 and everything has changed (Note: the photos on this review are from previous ownership). I was hoping to have a lovely Valentine's dinner with my boyfriend. Instead, Dino's embarrassed me with new levels of dreadfulness around every corner. To begin with, the place was empty. A single other patron at the bar who left soon after we arrived. Apparently word has gotten out. Previously the place had been packed. I even got a reservation. What a joke. I take full responsibility for not taking the hint and leaving immediately. The menu was different. A single laminated sheet. It still had the famous seafood nachos (more later), so I thought that maybe the food would still be good. The drink menu was laughable. A third grader could have done a better job. It was poorly typed, poorly formatted, barely legible, and tucked in a child's clear notebook sheet protector. And it wasn't even necessary. The bartender had quit, and the owner neither knew how to make the cocktails, nor had the ingredients for them. Which is well enough. I can't imagine what kind of monstrosity may have emerged. I just got a beer in a can. And they were out of my first choice, so I just got whatever they had. My boyfriend ordered a white wine. They had two cheap un-chilled bottles on the bar. He picked whatever, also. The seafood nachos loosely resembled their former glory. Chips, cheese, and bits of seafood meat. The first few bites were okay. I can't describe the cheese. Instead of the creamy goodness of yesteryear, it was simply not good. I couldn't eat much. I ordered the chicken parmesan pasta. I was worried that it might be undercooked, but that turned out to be a non-issue. The meat was cut so thin, it only required a few seconds on the heat. My date ordered the chicken and mushroom alfredo. As it was served, we were told that they didn't have alfredo sauce, so the cook "did what he could." Seriously?!?!?! You couldn't tell us that at the beginning? It turned out to be some type of watery dairy product. I wasn't planning to write a review. I figured this place would drive itself into the ground without my help. But that changed when I got the bill. Not even a hint of a discount. We paid $80 for that. It was offensive. To the owner: I'm sorry if this is coming across as harsh, but you are in desperate need of a wakeup call. Restaurants are difficult to run, and few survive. You need to at least do the easy things right. Find a teenager who knows Microsoft Word to make a decent drink menu. Go to the FedEx store and get it printed and laminated. If you are going to operate as just another bar and grill, then change the menu and offer burgers and beer. If you have to apologize to the customer more than once, offer a discount. And if you can't be Dino's, then for God's sake, change your name. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
Food came out fast and there was a reason it was barely cooked. This maybe a wine bar with food being a second thought Price per person $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

My mom and I loved used to love going here when it was owned by the previous owners. It is not the same at all. It is now a sports bar, not a neighborhood bistro type restaurant. The entrees are all very casual. The wine is not good quality. The seafood nachos are now $20 and a half portion is no longer available. Tonight the sauce was coagulated and the seafood was barely warm. There was also chunks of an unknown white ingredient. The quesadilla was mediocre, not worth $14. The food took quite a while to come out and we were the first patrons to order. Business seemed quite slow compared to in the past. We won't be back. Very sad, as I liked supporting a local restaurant. Food: 2 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2

Got the Caesar salad the lettuce was all welted and mushy. The chicken was cold and everything looking like it came from something you could just buy at the grocery store. Over priced for wilty lettuce, cubed frozen chicken and cheap dressing The original Dino’s had excellent food - the new owners have created a sports bar that is nothing like the original restaurant. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Price per person $10–20 Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1
I ordered a pepperoni and green pepper 12 inch pizza on december 23, 2023 and to be honest the pizza tasted similar to one of the frozen box ones in the store. Their other entrees may be their specialty but for $20 I wouldn't recommend their pizza. Price per person $20–30 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
