    Food and service were wonderful!! The place is so cozy and quaint. Definitely on the smaller side and we did have to get up a couple times for others to get past for the restroom but we didn’t mind. Prices were reasonable and we even got a free dessert for a guests birthday. Overall a perfect dinner after a broadway show!

    The service was great. The food was pretty good. I loved the broccolini and the filet mignon. The space is well styled but it's a tight squeeze. You're a part of the conversation at the next table.

    Food was great. Staff was amazing. Cute little restaurant that was perfect for before seeing a Broadway show. Protip: upgrade to the squash fries with a burger. They were delicious.

    We absolutely loved our pre-dinner before Romeo plus Juliet at the circle in the square theater. Thank you to the general manager Steven for stopping by to say hello.

    Blue Dog is a small cozy spot to grab a great pre-theater meal and drink! Note that you will be sitting very closely to other patrons, not a bother for us, but not for everyone. The chicken and waffles were incredible!

    Nice dinner. Entrees were good. Enjoyed the Buffalo Cauliflower. Calamari was mediocre, tough and chewy.

    Great food, service, location and cost. Ambience is perfectly fine, just a tight space, but that doesn’t bother me. Third time there, definitely not the last.
