    The food is wonderful. Highly recommend the Short Rib Poutine and Bang Bang Shrimp apps. We had the burgers and balsamic steak salad. Delicious. Our service was not good. Waited 45 min for the waiter to bring a glass of wine. He came and said it would be a bit longer because the bar was busy. The restaurant had empty tables so this was not the case. After dropping off our bill he again disappeared for 25 minutes. We will go back because the food is very good. Will probably avoid that server if possible

    We had reservations for Valentines dinner. We walked in and the music, the saxophone player was so incredibly loud. We couldn’t even hear each other, they put us by the Sax player- 7 feet away and the front door and it’s 12° out. We couldn’t hear each other talk. We couldn’t hear the waitress and they ruined our Valentines. So we left. The waitress was really nice though, she was very apologetic So happy Valentine’s Day

    Our experience was top notch !! From the hostess stand, to the servers, waitstaff and all who worked there. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Thank you. And a special thank you to our server. He did an amazing job taking care of us. He knew the menu quite well and everything he recommended hit the spot. The food was flavorful and delicious!!! This was our second time dining with dogwoods this week ! Last time it was brunch! Can’t wait for next week because we will be back!!!! Thanks Dogwoods

    Food was very good and the service was excellent for such a big group: everything we got was good but we love the ceviche, elote flatbread and chorizo flatbread. Definitely will be back soon

    I was so disappointed that it was not decorated for Christmas. I assumed it would be and made reservations there because we went once before and the food and service was great.
