    As usual, our experience at this restaurant was wonderful. Food was excellent and served quickly. The menu was very wide and all of us found many things to order. The price was reasonable and we will continue to come often. The only fault I find is it a little dark. O well that is why the phones have a flashlight.

    Our Valentine's lunch at White Dog Haverford was Excellent!! The food was great and our server Jamie was outstanding. He was kind and friendly and exactly the kind of server who makes you feel good about choosing to go out to a pricey lunch. Worth every penny.

    Thoroughly enjoyed everything. We had the beet salad with grilled chicken, eggplant stack, spaghetti and meatballs, veal parm with a side of fettuccine Alfredo, and the poached pear salad with grilled salmon. The red wine the waiter suggested was really good too. The burolo. The people that work there could not be nicer! Definitely recommend
