    1st time at dogwood. We sat at a high top in the bar area. Service was top notch, beverages tasty, and ribeye was delicious & cooked perfect! It was slower than expected for a Friday night at 8pm.

    Excellent food, great portion sizes. The Calamari was really good, and the Cheesy Cheeseburger was surprisingly yummy. Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was about 1/2 full, but had good service balance.

    It’s a nice little place with lots of outdoor seating options. Food was decent. However, they need to consult with someone regarding their extremely disappointing and unimaginative cocktail menu.

    First time eating at Dogwoods and we will be back. Food was served quickly even though they were pretty busy. Good menu options and what we ordered was all pretty good.

    Nice vibe. Food was okay. Not diabetic friendly. Wanted to have sugar free syrup with pancakes or French toast., not available. That is a big miss. Asked for Splenda for coffee, was told they had Equal. That is fine. What they brought was junky pink saccharine. Yuk. Again big miss. Added 18% gratuity to a buffet. I think that is not a good way to do business. Waitress was not really nice. I wondered why. Now I realize she did not even have to try to earn tip because it was automatically added to bill. Would not go to another buffet there.
