    White Dog Wayne has been really consistent over the past couple of years. Delicious Tuna/Crab Tartare appetizer and a Thai Steak salad entree were very good. Nice wines. Excellent service.

    We had a wonderful dining experience at White Dog Cafe. Our server was attentive and very helpful in directing us to delicious choices. We loved the Hawaiian rolls, pork belly appertizer and mussels. For entrees we loved the Spicy Lamb pasta, trout and mahi mahi. We followed this with a wonderful creme brulee dessert. The atmosphere was lovely and fun. We will definitely return!

    We got a gift card to this restaurant as a thank you for a dog sitting, so we are truly dog lovers. The whole place is dog themed with pictures of all kinds of breeds of dogs all over the walls. I felt happy as soon as I walked in there. As for the food and drinks, everything was top quality and our server Anna did a wonderful job. We will definitely be back!

    Christina, our server, was great. The food was great! The cocktails were wonderful. Our soups were served with panache. The room was a bit noisy because of a large exuberant group. The only downside was that our table was very wobbly. We didn’t complain, not us, and it did not diminish the overall experience.

    Ordered a speciality steak off the menu and it was the worst I’ve ever had. They served it without seasoning and it was chewy to the extreme despite asking for medium. It came with a hash that was so oily, it was barely edible. The service staff though friendly was forgetful and I had to ask multiple times to get sauce and seasoning for the bland food. Ambience was really nice but the pretty decor and fancy chairs did not mean comfort. Overall, the food is was horrible and over priced. I will not recommend this place to anyone.

    The trout is outstanding, and I was left wishing for a bit more. For the price, the portions are a bit smaller than I would have liked. A small grumble, but the experience and food were excellent!

    I have been at the White Dog several times. This time I was completely unimpressed. The food was average at best. The waitress was very nice but we weren't offered bread with our meal which was disappointing. A salad and an omelet was WAY over priced. I probably will not be returning any time soon. What a shame-used to be really good.

    Everything was fabulous..from the greeter to our waiter, Leonardo, who absolutely delightful, to the food which is always dependable and the ambiance of muffled voices and soft lights. The one crazy thing that got us, though, was the fee charged for using our credit card. 🤷‍♀️

    I took my two kids to dinner and we had a great experience. G was our waiter and suggested great food, especially for our 8 year old who I wasn’t sure would be patient enough for a nicer sit down. I can’t wait to come back and bring the rest of our family. Thank you, G!

    I booked a table in the enclosed outdoor tent for business lunch thinking it will be pleasant and quiet. It was freezing cold and wind blew into the tent. We asked to switch to inside but were told it is all reserved, although it was more than half empty throughout our meal. None of the staff cared to close the openings through which the wind blew in or bring space heaters. They kept seating people in the tent and we all sat with coats, scarfs and hats on. It felt more like camping than dining:) not a pleasant experience and not something that a reputable restaurant should allowed. Food was ok but needless to say that it was hard to enjoy in this situation.

    We went to the White Dog Cafe over 30 years for our first date! It was wonderful then and even better now. We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary by coming to the White Dog Cafe to re-live our special date over 30 years ago. All of the staff made us feel special and important. The food was OUTSTANDING and we enjoyed our dinner very much.
