    Excellent food and atmosphere. Very friendly wait staff, but overall poor service. Food was served lukewarm warm, received one incorrect entree, no coffee refills offered. So much potential if properly staffed/trained.

    They stuck us at the worst table, had a missing shade on light above so was sooooo bright, by the window first room, and because we were in no man’s land we rarely saw our server.

    Short ribs were superb. Craft cocktails not so much. New bartender was struggling. Outstanding service. It is quite loud, but that didn’t bother us too much as we were in a corner.

    I followed our server’s recommendation and ordered the halibut special. Not only did the portion appear to be half the size of a typical serving but it was dry and tasteless. I was so disappointed but hungry so I ate about half of it. My son and husband said their food was lukewarm and tasted like it had been sitting under the lights. I mentioned to the server that the fish was dry but got no response. We won’t be hurrying back for another dinner anytime soon.

    Thanks for the feedback, DeboraB. We're sorry to hear that your meal didn't meet your expectations. It's disappointing to hear that the halibut special and the lukewarm food did not hit the spot, especially as it was your son's birthday. We appreciate your honesty and will take this feedback into consideration as we continually strive to improve our dishes. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you in the future. Best regards, White Dog Cafe - Wayne Management Team

    The ambience was better and improved over our last visit, as was the service and the quality of food. Everyone very much enjoyed their meals. The waitress was very friendly and excellent all around.
