    Ate there solo and was well- treated. Lovely space and delicious cuisine. The seafood was especially fresh & bright. Highly recommend the bouillabaisse!! Hostess was super nice as well.

    This was a very disappointing experince overall. My Husband and I arrived for our reservation and were sat at a table that was really meant for one person as the seat opposite was along a bench that wouldnt actually fit me unless I was sitting at an awkward angle (for the record I am an average sized person). We asked to move, which the hostess did, and we were sat at the high top bar adjacent to the angled wall so I still sat awkardly, but less so. On top of that, there's a large concave mirror in front of the seat my husband occupied, so anytime he went to look at me, he would get a chunk of that mirror and he began to get very dizzy. My espresso martini was actually very good but that was the highlight of the meal. The burgers were fine, but the kitchen switched our burger tempratures so my husband got my med-rare and I got medium. Overall I wouldn't recommend Bluedog unless you knew you'd be able to get a seat at the long middle table in the middle of the small cramped restaurant, and even then I'm not sure I would.

    Delicious breakfast items and good beverages. The huevos rancheros and pancakes were delicious. Seating is tight but that’s to be expected for midtown. Would absolutely visit again!

    A very quaint dining experience. The food was excellent. We got the steak frites, burger and scallops for dinner. Calamari as an appetizer. It was all delicious

    Had a reservation & still had to wait on a table for several minutes. Food was equally disappointing, received the wrong order. Table and chair were uneven. All around disappointment. Will not return.
