I have wanted to go to Dijons for 20 years. Especially because I live so close and I have heard wonderful things about it. We decided that although our budget wouldn't allow us to spend $75 on a steak or even $36 on Lobster Mac & Cheese, we would go for lunch or early dine. We looked at their menu online in advance. I tried to call 9 times for a few days before our anniversary to find out lunch hours and early dinner hours. No one EVER answered the phone. It was always a recording asking you to leave a message. So the day comes to go, and we decide on Early Dine. We get there, and they ask us where we would like to sit dining room, bar, or outside. It was hot out so and we like quiet so we chose the dining room. We told them we were there for Early Dine, and they said "Oh we don't have that or lunch any longer." We said we had been looking at their menus online, and nothing indicated that it was no longer an option. I believe it was the manager who seated us, and he said that they needed to update the information online. I also told him I had called 9 times to find out hours, and no one ever answered, and he said nothing. We thought surely we could find something on the menu for around $30 each. We were hoping not to spend over $100. To us, $75 is just too much for a steak, so off to the bar we go for 'Happy Hour' . There were a few reasonably priced appetizers, and you could also order anything extra you wanted off the dinner menu. We were going to split a house salad and French onion soup, which they split for us, which was very nice. I had the steak tips on the appetizers menu, and my boyfriend had a burger, and we each had a drink. The food and drinks were good but not special. The service was excellent. Our server said she was fairly new. I wish I had gotten her name, but she was great. They did not do anything special for celebrating our anniversary, which I really didn't expect but is always nice. We left there spending exactly what we wanted to $100. But I must say all in all, we were both underwhelmed.
