    The White Dog offers a reliable experience, I love the Mushroom soup and the tuna melt was especially creamy. I chuckle at all the dog portraits and our service was attentive.

    All in all, we had another pleasant experience at White Dog Wayne. Our server, Zoltan, was excellent: attentive without being obtrusive. The food was very good and significantly better than I remembered.

    Another great meal at White Dog. Was a little sad to see that the BLTA is no longer on the menu! That's my favorite. But the cheese curds were delicious and the beet and arugula salad was also delicious. Always a winner!

    Thanks for the review, Kimberly! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your meal at White Dog. I was also sad to see the Avocado BLT leave the menu.

    Great meal and service. Love the library seating. We were initially seated in the conservatory and asked to be moved to the library due to the lighting. Rose helped us move and later dropped by to ask if all was good.

    Spotty service, waited nearly an hour for hummus appetizer for the table. Found it difficult to get drinks refreshed. Ice seemed to be a commodity when requested. Waiter seemed overwhelmed. Overall a mediocre experience.
