Dixon's Restaurant Food Notes
What I came to today is that it has been very popular recently.
The flow, which is still in trial operation and has just ended
I think friends who follow the latest news about gourmet restaurants and pubs will know about this restaurant.

After all, this store was opened by the founder of draft land.
Presumably his wine must be of a very high standard.
And the food part is also famous.
And you can see that the overall decoration is quite stylish.
Divided into 1st floor and 2nd floor
It can be seen that the ambition of this store is quite huge.
I feel like I want to win the Michelin award in Taipei (?
So it was already quite famous even before it opened.

During the trial operation period, it is not even possible to make a reservation.
But there is good news now
The trial operation is currently over
So everyone can now make online reservations
For details, you can check out his Instagram

Now you don’t have to queue up after four o’clock.
Then get your number plate and wait to enter at five o'clock
After getting the number plate, you have to wait until six o'clock before you can go in to eat.
Sure enough, the store in trial operation is different~~~

All this is unnecessary now
It’s much more convenient to book a table online! !

Good return to topic

Dixon went there near the end of the trial operation
Friends who have been there before really praised this store.
I say the food here is really delicious.
It’s so delicious that they lick their plates!
I wonder if this is such an exaggeration~~~

But judging from the photos, the environment is indeed quite good.
The overall decoration is quite elegant and temperamental
But not sure about the food and wine!

So I went to have a meal that day with great anticipation.
The meal time that day is Saturday

I originally expected to queue up to get my number plate at 4:30.
But as a result, I made some mistakes and didn't arrive until around 4:50.

As a result, by this time, I could no longer get the number plate for the first game~~~
Sure enough, it’s even harder to schedule on weekends🤣🤣🤣
Entry time for the first session is six o'clock
The entry time for the second game is eight o'clock

So we got our number plates at five o'clock
But we have to wait until eight o'clock before we can eat
So I can only go and hang out nearby at this time.
Or go to a nearby cafe

And I came back here at eight o'clock
You still have to wait for the people in front to finish eating.
And you have to wait for their restaurant to prepare the seats
Only then can you take a seat
At this time, you can see that there are quite a few people inside taking pictures.
Sure enough, the new store is famous!
Everyone came to visit one after another~~~

But by the time we actually took our seats, it was already around 8:15🥹
This part makes people feel a little irritated...🥹
After all, I have been waiting since nearly five o'clock to prepare to come to this restaurant.
But it turned out that at eight o'clock in the second round
There is still no way to enter the venue immediately🥲

And after finally taking a seat,
The seat I was sitting on that day was at the bar.
Then you can proceed to order food and wine.
There are many types of meals
It can be seen that this restaurant not only wants to make good wine, but also pays great attention to the food.
In addition, even the menu is quite careful and quality.

I personally think that in terms of restaurants and pubs,
This should be the section where meals are more important than wine.
Can't say how delicious it is
But it should be said that the degree of attention should be paid to the meals rather than the bars.

Recommended by a friend who had never been there before
So I ordered some recommended meals and main meals.
But after coming up
I don’t know if it’s because my expectations are too high or something.
A bit beyond expectations...ordinary (?
If you haven't eaten it, come here
I think the food is actually good
Although not particularly stunning
But for a restaurant and pub
His food is already quite high quality!
So I don’t think there’s anything particularly bad about the food in this restaurant.
But maybe it’s because I’ve listened to the news and experience sharing from all parties before.
In the end, I came to eat by myself, so my expectations were a bit too high🤣🤣

And because my friends who are traveling with me have already eaten here two or three times.
The friend said: The food here this time is a bit different from what he had before.
Wow, I didn’t expect that the trial operation is not over yet.
Has the food quality started to decline? ! !

Besides meals
Of course you must come here to drink and watch his wine
To order the drink of the day, you can take it to the bar area
Order wine from the wine list on the wall
The service staff will then deliver the wine you ordered to your seat.

The wine part is pretty good~
The overall pattern of iodine is a bit like that of Draft land
Just order wine based on the wine list on the wall~
It's just like a restaurant here, so it will be delivered to your table.
No need to be like standing on the roadside drinking in Xinyi District

And the atmosphere of the whole store
I think it might be because there were so many people at the opening
The overall dining experience is not very good

Because there are actually a lot of people in the store
The space on the first floor cannot be said to be very large.
So there will be an overall very noisy feeling😧

But for a newly opened restaurant and pub
I think he still has great potential
After all, the food menu is well prepared
He specializes in high-end menu dishes.

And it takes a very high-quality route
So I mentioned before that this should be the part of a meal bag and a long time
Maybe it’s to give the guests a very high-quality and emotional place.
It’s perfect for a date, where you can eat delicious food and drink wine.

Now that the trial operation period has ended
If you are interested, you can make a reservation online and come here to try it out.
I’m not sure about the seats on the second floor. Is it possible to book a table online?

After all, the second floor used to be a special box or venue.
Usually, those who are waiting directly on site can only dine on the first floor.

It is said that the venue on the second floor is also quite good, very atmospheric!
It’s a very popular restaurant and pub. I think everyone should try it.

⭐️Food section
As mentioned before, maybe it’s just because expectations are too high
But his meals are quite good
It’s a very textured and emotional dish
And it’s also quite high-quality in terms of taste.

But I think the drawback is the portion size, which is actually not too much.
As an adult
Maybe order one or two appetizers plus the main meal
Maybe I’m not full yet~

👉Hokkaido Scallop Salad $380
Basically a salad with a scallop on top
Of course you can also add some extra scallops
The price of adding a scallop is 180

This salad basically has no memory for me.
After all, I don’t really like salads.
Of course, the scallops are fresh and delicious.
This meal is just average

👉Charcoal grilled broccoli $220
You can order this in the large or small portion.
I ordered the small plate 220 that day.
According to friends who have been here, this dish is a must-try dish.

But after arriving, he also felt a little disappointed, it was not the same as before.
This time it seems to be more burnt.
The cauliflower has many burnt parts on it

Personally, I think it tastes okay.
It tastes quite good with the sauce and cauliflower!

But my friend’s opinion is
This cauliflower is too burnt and not very tasty🤣🤣🤣

👉Salmon roe twist roll noodles $350
This noodle dish is pretty good.
Although there is no particularly amazing part
But it's just average
Twist roll noodles topped with lots of salmon roe
The noodles that taste warm and cool taste OK!

👉Italian Aged Rice/Australian Wagyu Cheek $400
Today’s main course is Wagyu cheeks
I think the main course is pretty good.
Although the portion of wagyu cheek is not large, the taste and texture are quite good
Served with Italian aged rice
It tastes great too!

Overall very tasty!
In terms of today's meal, I would give him first place

And then because it was 9:30
There will be a late night menu here
Some of the original dishes can no longer be ordered.

The late-night snack menu includes oden
So we ordered an oden that day to try!

I didn’t expect Oden to be today’s VIP!
The oden soup itself is pretty good
Some of the Oden ingredients above are also cooked just right.

But in fact, oden needs to be cooked very poorly and it shouldn’t be easy🤣🤣🤣
So in the end today’s experience was saved by Oden🤣🤣🤣

In terms of meals
From the restaurants and pubs I have experienced in the past
It's already among the best.
But it doesn’t seem as special as what I experienced with my friends and on the Internet.
I can only say that it’s not bad, but not particularly powerful.

👉Drinks section
I only ordered a glass of wine that day.
I think the wine is above the standard.
Have its own characteristics

It goes well with meals.
I think it may also depend on what meal you are eating to choose the wine you want to drink.
Of course it would be better if the store can make some recommendations!

⭐️Atmosphere part
It can be seen that this store is being decorated very seriously.
Part of the decoration on the first floor is already quite elegant.
But unfortunately, the space on the first floor is quite small.
Apart from the bar area, only the aisles and seating areas are left
And in order to put a lot of tables and seats

This makes the entire corridor quite narrow.
Colleagues can only pass one or two people in the aisle.
The seating allocation in the bar area is also quite crowded.
It feels a bit like sitting at the bar and eating ramen in a Japanese izakaya.

The seating area is quite designed.
Contains many streamlined tables or high and low tables

But as said before
It feels a bit crowded and cramped
If you could make the space feel a little bigger
I think it will make people feel much more comfortable ~

But maybe it’s because of the recent opening period
So there are a lot of people in the store
It's also quite noisy because of this.

And it’s because of the newly opened store
There are many people busy taking pictures
You can even take photos while standing on location or on the aisle.
This has greatly reduced the quality of dining for guests🤣

So although the overall environment and decoration are quite good
and use an open kitchen design
So that everyone can see the chef in the store preparing the meal

I think the original design is very good
But maybe it’s because of the number of visitors
Make the seating arrangement a bit crowded
So there will be a bit of a gap in physical sensation, right?

But because I haven’t gone to the second floor to see it
So I’m not sure what the situation is like on the second floor.
I hope the environment on the second floor will be more spacious and comfortable!

⭐️Service section
I'm not sure because it's still in the trial operation period.
I always feel like the service staff is a bit overwhelmed.
Although you can see that there are many staff in the store
And because of the open kitchen

You can also see how everyone is busy going in and out inside.
But I always feel that the service attitude is not very good.
Apparently the staff were too busy

And as mentioned before
Because of the environment, the whole store is very noisy.
Sometimes you have to wait for a very long time if you want the service staff to come over and serve you.

On the other hand, it’s just to eat in this restaurant
You have to come very early to queue up
After queuing, you still have to check and get the number plate before you can go in and dine.
And even if it’s meal time, you may not be able to go in right away.
This part will make people feel a little stuck.

But of course this part is understandable because it was in trial operation before.
So after all, new stores always have some special rules, right?
I hope to use online booking in the future
Everything can go more smoothly~

⭐️Price section
The price part is based on restaurants and pubs.
The food here is not very expensive.
In terms of its quality, taste, and overall appearance
I think the price is quite reasonable
Although the content of each meal is not very large,
But the price is not very high either

There are many restaurants and bars that sell food at very high prices.
But the content is not that good
But here I think the content and quality of his food are worthy of the price.
So I don’t think you need to worry too much about the price!

⭐️Location section
But I think the location of this store is a bit too remote.
Although it is said to be next to the main road
But maybe it’s because it’s not so intuitive in terms of mass transportation.
So it will be a bit troublesome
From the nearby public transportation means
It also takes 10 to 15 minutes to walk to the store.

But maybe it’s because there aren’t many other restaurants and bars nearby.
Although there is a room next to it

But it’s no longer like the East District where the whole street is filled with restaurants and bars.
Transportation is okay
It’s just that the transportation is not as convenient as in other East District or Xinyi District🤣🤣🤣

⭐️In summary
I think this restaurant has great potential.
Although not as powerful as originally expected
But it is already a new restaurant that is above the standard.

I think we can look forward to changing the menu mode in the future.
Maybe this restaurant wants to take a new path
Including the main meal and the creation of the overall environment and atmosphere
I think it’s a fairly new innovation

Contains talk of setting up an open kitchen
So as I mentioned before, it should be managed based on the meal being greater than the duration.

But many people probably just follow the trend and try a famous store.
I think if everyone is very interested in restaurants and pubs,
This is also a must-try place~

What's the future? Let’s keep watching!
