On Tuesday, Jan. 24, we went to Dogwood Café with good friends and had a superb experience. The food was outstanding and the service matched. As we went during the Queen's Feast, some of us elected to sample the three-course special. I have to mention that the shrimp fritters, new to the menu, were a revelation. I was gobsmacked by how good they were. We are regulars at the restaurant and have never been disappointed. Shout-outs to Executive Chef Andy Williams, General Manager Michele Clappsaddle and our server Tom for a terrific evening! I must mention here that Michele is unfailingly service-oriented and always looking out on behalf of customers.

The food was good, the service adequate, but forcing a family with three children to pay a 20% gratuity is ridiculous!? Since when are a table of two adults and three children forced to pay a gratuity!? We are big tippers, even more than 20% when justified, but being forced to do it, makes us Not want to return!!
