    Love the decor of the restaurant. I had the goat cheese omelet and it was Ok. The service was very slow and the servers who brought the food to the table had no idea who ordered what dish. One of the servers had bangs that covered their eyes and I questioned whether their hair would fall into the dish. I think the owners need to relook at how they deliver the food to the patrons.

    It’s always a joy here. Our kids love the decor, we love that there is a kids menu but also a great adult menu, no compromises there! Love the new spring menu, especially the new cocktails!

    I've always loved White Dog, but unfortunately, the service and food quality have declined year after year. During my most recent visit, the service was disappointing—wait times for both drinks and food were excessively long, and several items were forgotten. While our waitress did her best to make amends by acknowledging the issues and offering a complimentary dessert, the overall experience fell short of expectations. That said, the food itself was still good, but there were notable concerns: French Onion Soup was not served hot Tuna Melt was cold Side salad arrived with no dressing $12 fruit bowl consisted only of red grapes and three apple slices I truly hope White Dog can improve its consistency, as it has always been a favorite of mine.
