   The service was friendly, but inaccurate. The food was overcooked. The band who was scheduled to play at 8 PM had not yet taken the stage at 9:50 PM when we finally lost patience and left. We had made reservations specifically around the time to be able to enjoy the band scheduled.

   I made a reservation to surprise and celebrate my parents’ anniversary as well as my brother’s graduation. We were never told that a 70s+ match maker party would be taking place and that there would not be inside seating available! The fans outside provided no comfort as we were sweating outside for over 30 minutes just to get a couple of drinks. The entertainment provided was an old man stumbling out drunk, breaking his glass, and then proceeded to wipe his blood on the bench outside the patio. After complaining about the wait, a waiter brought my father’s entree out without any of our other dishes and to no surprise our food arrived cold as well as one of the dishes being incorrect. We had asked the hostess, waitress, and another waiter to get the manager and after what felt like forever, he finally came out. It was completely inappropriate for them to not reach out, especially after I added notes in the special occasion section! We had no clue any of this would be the case as we’re coming from out of town, we were very disappointed.

   A Horrible event was occurring during our reservation time, the hostess didn’t want to seat us even though we had a reservation, made it seem like we were not welcome. Our waitress was amazing and I feel bad she has to workin that environment where the customers act as your invisible. The old ladies were blocking the walk ways and stay couldn’t get by, one lady put her white jeans in the ketchup on my table because she was so close… so it recommend at all but the waitress she needs to get outta there!!

   I thought the food was alright, the vibes were cute but there was a party next to us that was so incredibly loud it was literally just my husband and I and 10 women who were loud taking videos and cackling. I don’t think I would be back, I felt like the food was just okay. Drinks were great.

   I made a reservation for Easter Sunday brunch because they had advertised an Easter event. They said with the admission you would receive a free bubbly. When i asked the waiter about it he didn’t know about the event. He asked the manager and he also wasn’t aware of such event. I then looked up the actual flyer from the restaurant promoting this, showed it to the waiter and he said “Ok i will tell the manager” and never brought it up again. It wasn’t even about the free glass of champagne, it was the fact that no one knew about the event THE ACTUAL restaurant promoted and even after showing proof they didn’t care to grant us the drink. My steak was very dry- even though i asked for medium temperature, and just the whole ambiance was so off. What a disappointment especially on a holiday!

   Hello Vanessa! Our Staff and Management should have been aware of this event. We do apologize that you received this service. We would like the opportunity to make it up to you and would like to offer you a complimentary meal for you and a guest. If you could please let us know who you spoke to or if you got the Managers name by chance or Servers name from your receipt, it would be helpful. We apologize for the inconvenience you had with you Steak as this is also not something that we strive for at Blue Dog when it comes to quality of service. Please email us or send us a DM on Instagram with these details so our Management or Owner can step in to arrange the complimentary meal if you wish to accept, as well as address other ways to make it right.

   We had a wonderful Easter brunch here. Incredible served, ambience and food. Loved the live music as well. And the fact that we could still talk and hear one another was also a plus.
