    The hummus was exceptional today. And our waiter, Jonathan, was outstanding. Despite being so busy with the holiday, service was still excellent. Thank you.

    We'd been coming here over many years, but something seemed to have fallen off in the kitchen our last visit. They just couldn't cook the beef anywhere close to the right temp, and the cut of meat for the special was wrong, and low quality. Then, they couldn't expedite a new entree when we sent back the first. (I can't remember the last time I sent back an entree dining out, and then to not even get a replacement out to my father after 25 minutes is just strange.)

    The food at White Dog Cafe in Haverford was very exceptional & yummy as always. Our waitress, Heather, did an excellent job of serving us & refilling our drinks & taking our orders.

    Unreasonable Hospitality! There was a small delay in seating us at our reservation time due to holiday merry makers not wanting to turn over their tables. Completely understandable this time of year. The staff more than made up for any small inconvenience with 2 delicious free appetizers we were offered as an apology. Everything was lovely and delicious.
