The patio of this place is absolutely bonkers during the summer, but I don't really understand why. College and Clinton is a nice little corner so I guess people don't mind waiting in line for a table in order to drink and people watch. As far as having dinner though? There are so many better options in the area than The Dip.
I hadn't been here in a long time and thought I would give it a shot, but was greatly disappointed. The service was nice enough so I will give props to our waiter, but the food was incredibly bland and not exactly cheap for borderline cafeteria food. It was early afternoon and I was still in coffee mode, but was surprised that refills were 50 cents each. Who charges for refills anymore?!
I also had lentil soup, which lacked any flavour whatsoever, and a sandwich I believe was called the Diplomatico: if this is their signature sandwich than I don't think I'd care to try the others. It was incredibly skimpy on ingredients and was one of those instances where you're eating more bread than anything else. Gross.
Likely won't be coming back here again to be honest. Unless someone really wants to go, but past experiences haven't been too exciting and Utopia is right next door.
