    Food was good as always. Server didn't have much personality and took a drink away before we were finished (alcoholic drink). She didn't even ask; she just whisked by and took it away.

    4 of us dined at Brown Dog on a Saturday evening. I had specifically asked if we could dine outdoors. There were many outdoor tables available. The host told me “possibly” when I asked about dining outside, but then we were seated indoors without any explanation. Here it was a beautiful evening be they stuck us in a dimly lit corner. Which would have been fine if it was the only table available but that didn’t appear to be the case. We weren’t too far from the kitchen and it was very loud. It sounded like trays of dishes were being dropped off every couple of minutes. The food was good, but not something we can’t wait to eat again.

    The food was not that great. Wild boar was way undercooked and took most of the meal to get it back. The mixed grill was fatty and not great Not a good value for the prices

    Food was good , but on the expensive side , wife got a salad and added chicken and it was about 24 bucks. Server was great. Menu is limited during lunch hours on weekends as they are in Brunch … didn’t see that on the website but I may have missed it.

    We really like this place. Food was good and waiter was very helpful. The only drawback they did not provide printed receipt. Waiter just told us total amount including tips. I was hosting the party and was not in the position to start checking and arguing. That is the first time, when check was not provided.

    We met friends we hadn’t seen for years. They arrived before us and we’re very well taken care of by the staff. Our table was graciously changed to allow us more privacy. We we not rushed yet our server was very attentive to our needs. We do not live in the area but our friends do. I’m sure they will be back more often than we can enjoy the great menu and ambiance.
