Drinks were awful. Fried chicken in every capacity was excellent. The hash was so so. The Huevos Rancheros were good. The service was spotty, but the ambience was great.
Nice patio to eat good food and bring your dog.
Waitstaff provided very little service--delivery of a water carafe and brought out the food. It was pretty much self-serve: order by phone app and wait for the food to arrive. No explanations, no notice of abridged service, not much of a good time. Four stars is a generous assessment.
Waterdog is a local treasure. We are lucky to have it! Glad it survived COVID!
Love the place but the food wasn’t great
Such a great spot!
The food was great, but the service was impeccable. Great for a nice afternoon.
We had dinner on the patio (with our dog). The patio is really beautiful and tables spaced in a way that we felt safe. Great dinner!
Nice to have a fun place to eat in our hometown.
really cool place! Great service and fresh food. Great cocktails and selection of food - even if you're GF or vegetarian - there's something for everyone. The place itself is pleasant and beautiful! Def recommended.
Why did we come here more often? We tried it the second time in a long time. To be honest, our first impression was ‘okay’ maybe 3 stars. We had dinner here about 3 yrs ago.
This time we came back for lunch, sat outside. With the running water, the outdoor dining so nice. They put many heat lamps to keep customers warm. The food was pretty good as well. Service was excellent. Maybe brunch is better than dinner? It became one of our favorite places!
Really poor attitude- did not make us feel welcome in any way. They made us feel that they were doing us a favor by serving us. Not going back
Food was not bad, but not good either...The ordering experience was painful and the wine choices were poor. It is a beautiful place, but the menu is not interesting and too expensive for what you get...Also, you have too many disclaimers about everything...Really? Restaurants should be fun and relaxing and it just wasn't
Had another wonderful experience at waterdog! Like that you don’t have to stand in line at the counter in the Beer Garden any longer and can order on-line and food and drinks brought to your table. Everything was delicious as usual!
This was my first time here and I was amazed by the atmosphere. The way this location is very covid safe made me feel quite welcomed. The food was amazing but the mac and cheese was magical! I hope to make this place a regular spot for outdoor dining and hope to return again!
Nice simple menu, great drinks and very attentive service. Social distancing ability is wonderful and the outdoor ambience is relaxed enough for a date but still enough to have a little fun
I"m so glad they're open again and happy to support - I've been there three times in 4 days with different people who feel the same. Lucky to have them in Belmont. Had the calamari two of the times - and it's good! Love the bed of greens - turns it into a fun salad mid way through. Got the grilled caesar, which I didn't read too carefully that the grilled was the lettuce and not the chicken I added. I'm a foodie and while I don't like too much char - this was way black, to the point you could taste "fuel" in the lettuce - not my thing. Food at WT to me has always been hit or miss. I know what to get to hit the "hits" but when I delve, I always seem to "miss". I got a shrimp and carnitas taco - the carnitas was ok - the shrimp was bland and the tortillas were soggy - and that's the first thing I got - it all fell apart. To me, as a self-described chef - it needed more flavor elements - marinated shrimp or crystalized ginger or lemon grass crackle - something to elevate it's boringness. That aside, I'll always be back - and I'll keep eating and sippin. WT is great in the end!
Great outdoor dining, as always
The level of service and quality of food has really taken a dive. The beer was good along with the pretzel. That's about it. My wife had the salmon which was cold and not much flavor. I had the ribs which were way overcooked and were also cold.
Great location and I really loved the outdoor patio. It's great that there is a QR code that you can use to order and pay. The heat lamps were very helpful since it was colder outside. Cozy atmosphere as well. I would come back and try some more dishes. The french fries are delicious as well as the mixed greens salad. Great staff as well.
We enjoyed our evening however having never been there I found the ordering process confusing.
The servers were very nice but I think it would be better if someone explained the ordering process if it is your first visit.
When we had questions we had to try to flag someone down because nobody really checked back.
Other than that it was a enjoyable evening.
I love Waterdog tavern and it is one of my top choices in the area. However, the service the last two times has been very poor. And I think the restaurant is
Waterdog is always good. Nice staff, friendly owners and great drinks and snacks.
Great no contact ordering, nice seating, heaters. Good experience all around.
Service and food were excellent. Just need to request seating in the sun or near a heat lamp. Made reservation weeks in advance and froze because we didn't specify that when we booked our reservation. Needless to say, we didn't stay long because we were freezing.
Great dining experience. Outside has unmatched atmosphere next to the fire pit.
Terrific chicken sandwich, brussels sprouts and mixed drinks.
Highly recommended.
Friendly atmosphere, nice selection of food, very reasonable prices, great drink menu
what else do you want !???
We had a wonderful time at Waterdog Tavern! Super fun vibe and friendly service. Can't wait to go back.
Waterdog has great food and the beer garden is beautiful. Love that it's dog friendly, too!
First, service has always been great. Our drinks came swiftly after ordering and the server remembered us even though we haven’t been there since the last time the county was open for outdoor dining. Secondly, they’re using a new platform for ordering and love it because now you can keep your tab open. Food is always great. Mac and cheese and the Bavarian pretzel always worth the visit. Brussel sprouts and chicken wings always a favorite. Their Cesar salad is now wedge and grilled which was a delightful surprise. It was such a fun and happy experience to outdoor dine again and see all the different dogs come through. The experience was a great ending to a long work week.
We were there the first day of their 3rd reopening. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, service was minimized. Large portions of great food.
Food was as good as always and we felt totally safe dining outside in their beer garden. The tables were far apart and there were lots of heating lamps to keep us warm.
I had a reservation I arrived on time and the restaurant was closed with no warning
Safe and inviting dining experience during Covid with excellent food & service. Outside seating with water features and heat lamps very welcoming. Tried brunch menu for first time this visit and will be back!
It’s a great place for food snd drinks.
Food is excellent. The Beer garden is beautiful and a great heater was provided by every table. Highly recommend!
Wonderful place to get together feeling safe!!!!!!
Nice place, everything well thought out. The app for ordering is odd and they are replacing it shortly.
One of a kind atmosphere unlike anything else on the Peninsula. Creative and delicious gastropub food. A true gem.
Even though it rained it was great experience, will be back.
