Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

The Blue Dog Cookhouse And Bar is a charming hidden gem in NYC's Theater District, cherished for its "friendly staff" and "delicious food." The cozy atmosphere and varied menu make it a perfect spot for pre-theater meals. Although small and bustling, outdoor seating offers a quieter dining option.

We had a delicious brunch. The service was great. It was, however, very frustrating to find the entrance. The sign on the door on the street says to use another door and points left. You actually go around the back, but there is no sign indicating the correct door. We walked around for a while and had to get help from someone in the plaza. Why you wouldn’t just make that clear is mind boggling. The ambiance was very nice, but we were seated at a table that only one person’s chair could fit into. We were crammed and physically uncomfortable. It was also so loud we couldn’t even hear each other. Great food and overall experience, but improvements are needed.

Food was amazing! Service was also very good and attentive. It is pretty small in there (which is obviously not a foreign concept in NYC) and I know they can only do so much about. While I didn’t mind being placed at the community table, I could see how this would not be welcomed depending on who your neighbors are; can only have so much privacy. I embraced it though! Had a charm with the projector in the back playing the 3 stooges.

Phenomenal food!! Scallops, Shrimp, pasta, risotto- all were DELICIOUS! Very attentive service, a bit of tight seating, but just helps bring people closer together! A fun place with great food and service. Perfect for pre-theatre- definitely make a reservation. Will be back!

Food was excellent. Enjoyed the cocktails. The only negative is our very small table was to seat 4 and sat right by the entrance so we had very little room and we were in the servers’ way our entire meal. Good service!

The menu here is somewhat limited, but the food we had was very good. It is a very small restaurant and the noise level could be a problem. We enjoyed the experience and it was reasonably priced for NYC

It is small and quaint. It is right down from Broadway so we ate there before the show. The food was fabulous, service excellent. It truly is a gem.
