    Absolutely the best spot for brunch! The food was incredible and the restaurant is super cute. The General Manager, Steven, took such great care of us and was such a pleasure to chat with. We had a wonderful morning catching up with friends and we'll definitely be back! Thank you!

    Blue Dog is a charming, small restaurant 10 blocks from Times Square so it's not in a touristy area. Most of the diners were New Yorkers. Unlike most restaurants, there was a good selection of seafood. I had the crispy-skinned Bronzini and my colleague and a perfectly seared salmon. Appetizer and dessert were memorable.

    Small but not a problem space wise. Noise level not unbearable. A little above my comfort zone price wise.

    This was our first time at blue dog. It was a very quaint restaurant with not a lot of tables. We were really wedged in. Other than that the food was great and so was the service. You can tell it is a go to spot for New Yorkers. I highly recommend it!

    There is a reason this gem is always packed: exquisite cocktails and comfort food. I’m still working my way through the menu but nothing has been a miss!

    The food was good, the physical space was lacking. If you were not a social person who can talk to strangers it will be uncomfortable as the tables are on top of one another. Our meal had conversations with two other tables because of proximity.

    Food was delicious and our waiter was very nice … but very forgetful. Twice we had to find him to ask for a side dish that hadn’t arrived with everything else, and some condiments for a burger. We were told they would be right there but we never got either one. A waitress who took over at the end was better and made sure we weren’t charged for the dish that we didn’t get.
