    The ambiance and service are excellent. The food, too was very good. However, I felt the price of certain foods was a little high. And then there is that new “service” charge making the dining experience rather pricey.

    Our waiter Stephan was wonderful! Very attentive and efficient. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary with 8 family members. Everyone enjoyed their food but I was disappointed in the shrimp scampi. It was overly salty and drowned in a sauce. All of the staff from reception to wait staff were very good at their jobs.

    White Dog is a place where you go for a tasty meal and you might cross paths with neighbors who are doing the same. A nice, relaxed atmosphere, indoors or outside. The wait-staff are friendly (Craig was outstanding), and we found the burger and the trout delicious. Beware - the burger is a total immersion experience - and totally worth it! We'll be back!

    White dog, Wayne Just gets better and better!! Although the restaurant was hustling and bustling, the service was impeccable. Every morsel that we ate was absolutely delicious. I am officially raving about the cornbread with its delicious butter and peach jam (like apple butter, but peachy) We also liked the deviled eggs, delicious tuna melt, wonderful truffle fries and fried pickles. My friend really liked her BLTw/avocado. I also highly recommend there mushroom soup it’s Devine. I’m so happy that this wonderful restaurant is still just as good as it has always been.

    Although we have been going to HH for years, the atmosphere/management keeps getting worse. They don’t let you sit until everyone gets there…sorry if you have traffic issues or kids issues! We had to challenge the check because few of our drinks were charged at full price. We also were charged a service fee (no idea what that was…) as well as the tip, which was ok.

    We come to White Dog on a routine basis. We came this past Monday for the special dog fundraiser evening. We had reservations for 7:00. We were seated about 7:15. We were ready to order immediate because we know the restaurant and had time at the bar to discuss menu. For over one hour all we received was the one appetizer we ordered. It seems as if even though there was a fundraiser, either our order was missed or you weren't adequately staffed. It was very disappointing.

    Arrive at WD for a 3pm reservation at 2:55pm. Half the restaurant inside was empty. Had to wait 20 minutes to be seated at a table. Once seated and ordered, had to wait almost 20 minutes for food to arrive. Poor service and a bad experience. To boot, they charge 3% to use a credit card which is an unneeded fee to their customers. AVOID!
