    Service was impeccable. Food was delicious. Plenty of time between courses. Easy to hear and talk despite being almost completely full. A real neighborhood gem!

    We came to celebrate our mom's birthday there and the food was absolutely outstanding!! They even brought out her dessert with two little candles to help us celebrate her. We will definitely come back soon!

    Everything I’ve tried felt and tasted fresh and delicious. Although I don’t eat at night, this dinner was surprisingly light to my stomach. The portions were enough for my party. The liver is pretty good, the salad well seasoned and crunchy. Bring your own wine or beer to complete the experience.

    Despite being quite crowded, the service never was/is anything but attentive and patient. Simply lovely people. And the food is spectacular. Always interesting and delicious. I am very glad to see how popular Dervish has become. They deserve great success.
