I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. Last week was my chance. Some friends wanted to grab dinner, so we decided on Daily Dose Midtown. When we arrived it was pretty quiet. It was a Saturday night so I was a little surprised. Our waitress was nice but slightly flaky. Every time we asked her a question and she didn't know the answer, she tried to guess the answer rather than just asking someone. Especially when it came to a friend asking about something she is allergic to. She gave us incorrect information on the portion size of an appetizer and she forgot a few things like my friends beer and then said "Oh that's my fault" when he asked if it was coming. This all went on when it was pretty slow so that to me is either a sign of someone new (which that didn't seem to be the case) or someone just being lazy because it's a slow night. Her personality was a bit too casual too. Just enough to be boarder line unprofessional. Not a big deal, it was just noticeable.
The food was ok. I had a hamburger and I asked for it Medium, I got what seemed to me to be medium well or even well done. There wasn't any pink at all. The pretzel bun also seemed kind of dry. At this point I wasn't going to bother bringing it up to the waitress.
What all seem like bad things, I just had a feeling it was the staff of that night. The following week some coworkers wanted to go there for lunch so we did. I figured this would give me an idea of this place. Right off the service was MUCH better. Our waitress was attentive and got everything right. Just her demeanor and professionalism seemed a lot better. The food improved too and it was all in all a better experience. I think our first time here was a case of the lazy restaurant workers who just didn't want to be there on a Saturday night.
Would I recommend? Yes, give it a try. I think I really want to try brunch.
