809 Restaurant & Lounge: Dominican Cooking on Dyckman Since 2004
809 Restaurant & Lounge, a Dominican restaurant at 112 Dyckman St, doesn’t post a happy hour. It calls itself la casa del dominicano, and it has been on Dyckman since 2004.
The verdict: come for the plate, not a drinks deal. Mofongo, churrasco and pescado frito are the reasons people have been coming back for twenty years, and the hours (9:30am to 11:30pm every day) make it as much a breakfast stop as a dinner one.
What to Expect
Dominican and Caribbean cooking, a lounge (it’s in the name) and room for private events, catering and large parties. The restaurant is mid-way through rebuilding its website, so there’s no online menu to quote prices from yet.
