    The noise level in the dining area was so loud we practically had to yell to hear one another. There was a larger group at one table creating the noise. It was unpleasant and difficult to converse. This would deter me from going again to the white dog.

    A well-constructed cheese plate is one of the joys of life - and White Dog's stands out. Your choice of local artisan cheeses with dried and fresh fruit and a 'surprise' chunk of honeycomb. Jason recommended the Lanchego, a Manchego made in Lancaster County, a delicious addition to our favorites.

    food was good, Service was okay. The Dog theme in the Restaurant was not a favorite, kind of tacky. Get rid of all the Dog Theme and train your staff to provide more attentive service. Fill water glasses without having to ask and check on table to see if guests need anything.

    Ordered French onion soup. Felt and tasted as if it were sitting out a while. Not warm. Remaining orders felt hurried and somewhat bland. Very crowded and loud. This location used to have much better food and service. We used to look forward to eating here but now it’s just another place. Unlikely to return
