The restaurant is nothing fancy but it definitely brings a feeling of comfort. The wait staff is excellent, our waitress came to the table with a big smile. The food came out so quick. I was actually astonished and it was perfect! Great place for breakfast! There is also a small gift shop attached, so cute.

Had a great breakfast here with the family who recommended them for their delicious crepes. I also love the garden omelet which came with hash browns and pancakes. Way more than I could eat, but boxed and ate the pancakes later and they were delish!

We did a work Christmas breakfast get together here. Food was delicious, and service was great. I would definitely recommend.

Nice little restaurant for breakfast, we were seated quickly and our waitress took care of us immediately. We both had crepes, mine was apple with a side of sausage patties and my wife’s was strawberry with a side of bacon. The crepes were huge and full of flavor. We recommend trying this place.

1st time visiting the Dolphin. A+++++ Excellent overall experience. We got the 1/2 sandwich and bowl of soup special. Homemade stuffed pepper soup was delicious. Generous 1/2 corned beef reuban. The sandwich was served with a side of french fries too. Our server was on point and attentive. Telling us of the weekly specials as well. We will definitely be going back!

I love this restaurant. Classic breakfast and American diner style. Staff are attentive and very friendly. We always get seated pretty quickly despite the line. Food is so delicious!

Always good energy and conversation with the staff. I been going for 10 yrs now . So that should say something in itself. I’m not partially a fan of the homefries. I like mine soft. But i never complain it’s just my style. Nothing wrong with crunchy.
