The Blue Dog Cookhouse And Bar offers a "superb" culinary experience with "amazing food" and "wonderful service." Its cozy and intimate atmosphere is perfect for pre-theater dining. The menu features inventive dishes, and patrons love the crab cake Benedict and cocktails. Though small and sometimes noisy, it's a "hidden gem" worth visiting.

    Ute place with very nice and attentive staff. Drinks were mispriced in the menu but not too much more than it said.

    The burger was great. The seats are VERY close together and the noise level quite high.

    The staff was very friendly, but the food was mediocre at best. The dining room is so tiny and seating is beyond cramped, even for Manhattan. The bench seat I sat in didn’t even have a full seat, it was so uncomfortable

    Food was delicious. Service upbeat and courteous from front door to server. My party of 3 all had different pasta dishes. We would have licked the plates if we could. The fried calamari starter was enough for all. The only negative and not that bad was that this is a small space and a bit noisy so sitting across from my friends was a bit hard to hear but I’d definitely recommend and will be going back.

    We arrived with a reservation for two, but they didn’t have a table available, so they seated us at the bar. The host said they’d bring us something on the house, but that never happened either. The drinks were decent and the bartender was pleasant, but the food was pretty disappointing
