   It was ok. Farm to table and higher prices left me with some higher expectations. My son liked his burger. Shrimp were good and fresh— most of the tomatoes in my heirloom salad were over-ripe, but some were good. 24$ crab dip was underwhelming and came with 5 small pieces of toasted baguette—I probably could have asked for more but for 24$ seems like it should come with more. Fried pickles were good. Roasted zucchini— 1 larger piece and one smaller piece overwhelmed by the harissa they were sat in. Just left feeling unsatisfied despite having spent a lot of $$. This was our first time. Might try brunch or another location.

   Food was great, but tables are really close - you are pretty much sitting with other people- to the point I felt uncomfortable because all I could hear were the other tables conversations.

   Waiter was great. Unfortunately, the hostess had a disconnect and never told him we were there. Took 15 minutes and us following up twice

   Yesterday was very hot. I was seated outside and after 15 minutes I had to get up and go inside to ask for water. No one brought it or even came over. Then my friend arrived. We ordered drinks and ended up waiting almost 30 minutes for those. We appreciated being comped for the drinks and dessert but We were very disappointed with the experience. Also the food was not up to the usually high standards of this restaurant. Not sure what has happened but hope they get it together. It was one of my favorite restaurants.

   Wait staff was a lovely person and tried but it did take over an hour to receive our brunch. Food was excellent once it arrived.

    We love White dog. We usually go to the one in Center City. The Menu is the same and we live closer so this one so we thought we try it out. The only thing good was our drinks. I ordered the BBQ pulled pork Mac & cheese and it was nothing like what I am used to. There wasn’t any bbq sauce they said they didn’t have any and I wasn’t told until after I ordered it. I never got the option to order anything else. Another dish we had was the lamb bolognese and the only thing that was good was the lamb. The pasta or sauce had no flavor. The total was over $100 and we did not enjoy it one bit and very upset with our experience.

    Our waitress was amazing and she made our experience there great. But the mac and cheese was horrible , it tasted like milk. The jerk lolipop lamb chops were not done or seasoned at all. My fiancés meat loaf was very mushy with no texture. But the fudge and vanilla desert was great. Also the mock tails were amazing. But this is for sure the last time I would ever attend white dog.

    We ate lunch outside. I got there 10 minutes early and there were 4 tables open. I asked to be seated and was told that I would be seated at 12:30 and not before cause there were 12:15 reservations that hadn’t shown up. I sat in the vestibule to wait. Asked to open a door cause it was like a coffin. NOPE. Can’t open one cause of the air conditioner. Can’t open the other cause they say so. Finally seated. Asked for the outdoor umbrella to be tipped a bit cause it was very sunny. I was told THE UMBRELLAS AREN’T TO BE MOVED! We shared oysters and a baby romaine salad. The oysters were delicious. 30 minutes later, the salad came. A Cesar salad and my guest doesn’t eat cheese. 20 more minutes and the remade salad still hadn’t shown up. Paid for the oysters and left. They gave us the remade salad on our way out & didn’t charge us. Not a pleasant experience. I think the Wayne location is more customer friendly.

    We have been the the White Dog Haverford several times. Each time, this one included, has been wonderful. Very pleasant environment, particularly if you are a dog lover! The walls are covered with paintings of dogs, and the menu is diverse and suitable for lunch, dinner, small bites, dessert, whatever your mood and appetite. The servers are helpful and available without rushing you or hovering. We are not drinkers, but they have a wide selection of wine beer and cocktails.

    I eat here often and always a very pleasant experience. My only complaint about my latest visit was I had 12:30 reservations and arrived a little after 12:20. A somewhat rude hostess told me we’d have to wait until 12:30 to be seated. Within my vision was an empty booth which had been cleaned and ready for seating and that is where we were ultimately seated. Why we had to stand from for 10 minutes before being seated at the booth that was available when we arrived is beyond me

    Service was outstanding this time. A bit chilly inside for my elderly mother. Only true complaint was that they allowed a Lady at the table behind us to speak loudly on a speaker phone for a lengthy conversation. So rude.

    I didn’t like the truffle fries that was included with my sandwich. They gave me a bunch of burnt end pieces with skins on them. There were barely full long fries which loses the value plus you can barely taste the truffle oil. Our server wasn’t very friendly nor attentive. She lacked personality and felt awkward and forced to be polite. I handed her my birthday certificate to redeem for a free glass of sparkling wine and she hesitated and looked confused. She brought me a glass half full of the wine. Why couldn’t they finish pouring me a little more? I also didn’t like where they seated us even though I wrote a special note for us to be seated at the best table for a birthday celebration. I felt like there was a lack of attention to details overall to our dining experience.
