   My husband and I were celebrating the completion of a six year long project. We had a great time at White Dog. When we got up to leave, I inadvertently left my purse. On our way home I received a call from the restaurant telling me they had my bag. I was so thankful. So 5 stars + for terrific cuisine and above and beyond service. Thank you White Dog Wayne staff and chef.

   We sat in a corner and it was quite cold. All of us said our feet were freezing by the time we left. Desserts were served cold, we had blondies and the crème brûlée. The blondies were so hard they were tough to cut. Two of us had the steak salad, also served cold. Not sure why the noodles and steak needed to be cold- does the lettuce wilt? Maybe, but warm would have been nice. Not in a hurry to return.

   Lunch res. Was handled efficiently. Food was fine but very noisy. Complimentary valet on a raw & rainy day was appreciated.

   Food was very good with the exception of the Caesar dressing tasting like straight mayo.

   Always love the ambiance and food at this restaurant. The service was a bit lacking this time around. I asked the server for separate checks and she looked at me like I had two heads. You could see she was not ver happy. There were only two couples so I am not sure why she reacted that way. After the meal, we waited a bit long for those checks. The restaurant was not overly crowded either. Definitely was perplexing enough that my husband and I both brought it up on the drive home.

   We’ll continue to support neighborhood and White Dog, but it’s starting to be hit or miss. Food is eh, service ok.

   As relatively new residents of Wayne, we have tried to be fans of White Dog but we are always disappointed in the food. On our most recent visit, each of the 5 meals was over salted and flat, and in one case of a chicken dish, dangerously raw. The food at White Dog often lacks complexity—things are salty and/or oily (Mac and cheese) without any nuance. My family—even my middle school aged children—complain that the food is boring and, looking at the prices, say it’s “not worth it” and ask to cook at home! We are rooting for this local establishment and appreciate the homey vibe of the staff and atmosphere, but it will be a while before we again visit White Dog as a special occasion destination.

    Overall a good experience. Love the ambiance at White Dog. Had a great cocktail, a Cinnamule. The house bread, banana choc chip, was delicious. The avacado BLT was underwhelming, soggy and bacon not cooked well.

    Manhattan was awful - tasted like flat coke Dinner was ok Thought overall food would be better than it was We had some appetizers which were decent and then our group had a variety of entrees - none were great all were decent Also the fact they had a freezer issue so they had no frozen dessert like ice cream or sorbet was a let down

    We decided to have a nice lunch to celebrate the New Year. The restaurant was very crowded and we did have to wait a few extra minutes past our 1:15 reservation, but the staff did a good job of handling everything. White Dog has so many dining areas that it’s always fun to see where we will be seated , and this time we had a lovely table next to a large window. We started with drinks, my husband chose a very nice rose and I had the Pear and St Germaine Bellini - I love their Bellinis! We each had omelettes, y choice was the Kennett Square with the mushrooms (Yum! ) and my husband the Lancaster County. Both omelettes were delicious and served piping hot. The potatoes and salad sides were also tasty. We’ve eaten at the White Dogs in Wayne, Haverford, and University City and always enjoy our meals. Will be back soon.

    We have been celebrating NYE at White Dog Wayne for more years than I can remember, and it is always great! This year due to failing to make a reservation early enough we were in the covered patio tent, which was festively lit with sparkly lights and warmed with space heaters. It still was chilly, and the power to the tent went out immediately upon our arrival - and there was a good amount of rain water on the floor of the tent :(. They were able to get the tent powered up again after about 20 minutes however. Service was very slow at the outset, we were told there were not enough martini glasses so our drinks took forever, but eventually everything arrived and was delicious. Expectations have to be reasonable on a rainy NYE, so overall it was a 4 out of 5 star night and we will be back. Thanks White Dog!

    Always outstanding food and service! They know how to serve all courses of the meal so you can enjoy it and not feel rushed. Have been visiting for NYE dinner for 8 years and make weekend brunch a regular thing. Never disappointed!
