    Was seated at the table closest to the hostess stand. Was fine at first, then the tables along side of us were set for 9. The 9th person was seated at the end of the table closest to our table. It felt like she was part of table. To close for comfort.

    Always a nice experience. Food is solid and service very courteous and friendly. Kitchen seemed a bit slow but it was a busy Saturday lunchtime so to be expected. Would recommend

    We were seated in the middle of the restaurant near the kitchen/bar, which turned out to be busier and tighter than we expected. Maybe our fault for staying at the table. It downgraded the overall experience unfortunately. On the upside, our food was delicious, drinks excellent, and had great service!

    A big disappointment. All of us ordered Eggs Benedict. The muffin at the base was stale and hard to cut through and the eggs were overcooked. The only reason we staid was we were catching up with a friend We’ve eaten at White Dog in the past and it was good-gone down hill here.
