This is a mixed review. The chicken schnitzel was marginally overcooked and sprinkled with some sort of cheese and capers which my son scrapped off. The calamari was nice and tender but portion size was more entry than main. The fries were also good

I had an amazing experience at DAWSON. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was beautiful. A huge thank you to Miatta for her exceptional service—she truly went above and beyond to make our evening special. I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed the express lunch! We had the Margherita and Piccante pizzas - both were delicious. The house wine was tasty and the service exceptional!

Dawson is a modern Italian eatery and bar located on High St in Kew. Opened in 2017, it occupies the site of a family-owned whitegoods store, Dawson’s, which operated for 60 years and inspired the restaurant’s name. Co-owner and Head chef Majid Jreige has created a delicious menu that puts some contemporary spins on the classics. 🇮🇹 ✔️ Cacio e Pepe - delicious, and cooked perfectly al dente! One of the better ones I’ve had. Very saucy too. ✔️ Pineapple Ham Pizza - beautiful dough and big size. We only visited for a quick lunch, but based on what we tried I am definitely keen on returning to try more from the menu! They have a few weekly specials on offer including: 🍕 Mondays from 5pm - $15 for a Margarita Cocktail and Margherita Pizza. 🍝 Tuesdays from 5pm - $25 for a pasta and house wine. 🍷 Express Lunch 1130am-230pm Daily - $25 for a pizza and house wine
