My friends and I purposely had lunch at the Dirty Dog because we wanted a quiet venue where we could converse. In the evening the Dog is a concert venue and conversation is not only impossible but also forbidden. So, choose your time to visit depending on your goals! The food is very good, the service courteous, although the whole process takes some time. Good for a relaxed lunchtime!

A friend and I visited for the first time on Thursday. We checked out the Tribute to the wonderful Joe Sample. The band was really good. The atmosphere was fun and light. I had the crab cakes and ordered the soup of the day. My friend ordered the Fromage, Chop Salad, and soup. She also had a glass of wine that she enjoyed and I had a cocktail. Both were delicious. My crab cakes were too crisp on the bottom and I sent them back. The server was very apologetic. Later, the server forgot to bring our soups. We didn't remind him and were not charged. All in all, we had a very nice time and look forward to joining them for more great music. Thank you Dirty Dog Cafe.
