    Food and service was previously great. The older hostess is both actively rude and takes forever to seat anyone even when the restaurant is half empty

    We came for brunch, which was delicious all around. The Shrimp + Grits was praised all around, as was the Eggs Benedict. We got a side of thick cut bacon, which seemed pricy at $10. However, true to the name, the bacon were large *thick* cut slices. Worth it for brunch!

    When we arrived, host was on phone for what seemed like 10 minutes before we could be seated for our reservation. It was my birthday and my wife told the host it was a surprise and assumed we would do something with a candle at end of meal.Then waitress came to table said Happy Birthday ruining any surprise with never any attention towards an expected candle. In addition, our water glasses were never filled. Such a wonderful physical location but a disappointing experience.

    I haven’t been at the White Dog Cafe in so very long and I’m so glad I went this time! Went for brunch- food was excellent! Service was too! The ambience was warm and pleasant - the level of detail with the dog motif was amazing. As an obsessive dog lover, this is my spirit business because it is just the theme I would have ❤️🐾. We already have our next brunch reservation booked. Food was delicious!!
