Lovely, spacious patio dining on a gorgeous evening. Service was fast and friendly, despite being quite busy on a Friday night. Dog, group, and family friendly in an upscale environment. Love that they prioritize local ingredients and beverages! Happy hour deals are the way to go - we were starving and ordered a bunch of plates and were so satisfied. Do NOT miss the mushroom soup, they're known for it and it is unreal, with local Kennet square mushrooms. Oysters were so fresh and good!
I was surprised by the sheer size of the restaurant/cafe in Wayne. The decor is so cute and the whole cafe is filled with cute pictures of different types of dogs. The decor and looks aside, the brunch was fantastic with multiple vegetarian/vegan items on the menu. The service was prompt and the food was super fresh. I highly recommend this cafe for brunch/ lunch. PS: The portion sizes are pretty large so be mindful when you order your sides or apps!
DELICIOUS MEAL!! been there before and i'll be going back to try another menu item before the summer menu changes to fall! LOVE the decor, so on theme and i love it!!
Beautiful decor, great menu with fresh ingredients and really good cocktails. The best wait staff who made it a really enjoyable lunch by not making us feel rushed . Overall would highly recommend
Stephanie really made the day a dream! Great service!! Delicious and beautiful food offerings. Cheese plate . Yum! Beet salad! Colorful and del. Ham omelette. The best !! The most doggone adorable decor and ambiance. I look forward to seeing you again!!!
Despite the cold and unfeeling hostess who didn't greet us at all, the rest of our dining experience was great. Our wait person was Caroline who was friendly, warm, and kind. The food presentation, quality, and quantity were excellent. We dined here for brunch at 1230 on a Saturday. Tip: Be sure when making a reservation if you plan on patio dining to specify this otherwise there's a long wait. Just overlook the negativity at the lobby because once you're in, it's happy happy joy joy!
I have tried the white dog cafe in university city so I was super excited to find out that they had another location in Wayne. The interior is so cute and filled with cute dog portraits. There's a nice bar inside and plenty of tables for dining. We opted for the brunch hours and ordered the deviled eggs, eggs Benedict and my bf got the steak and eggs. I tried his piece of steak and was super impressed with the cut and how it was cooked. The deviled eggs had caviar on top and it tasted just as good as it looked. Overall a great dining experience
This is a cozy spot and as a dog lover, I enjoyed the dog decor. I chose this spot for a work dinner for 6 people. I felt a tad rushed throughout the dinner. Food was decent. We started with the seasonal milk buns, they were so soft and fluffy - I especially liked the flake sea salt on top and soft butter! These were the highlight of the meal for me. I also had the mushroom soup - it could have used a little more seasoning. Most of my party had salads in addition to the soups. Again, these were all decent but a bit underwhelming.
I have heard of this place for years as a fancy but casual atmosphere space to check out and I was not disappointed! Finally had the time to make a reservation for a dinner and it was delightful! I was amused trying to see how much dog decor they managed to integrate without feeling kitchsy or distracting but they really do have dogs on EVERYTHING. Our service was perfection in timing and attitude. They managed to cook a super fat burger exactly medium rare which is never something we can fine! Their cocktail felt old fashioned small but the spirit was very strong. Is this top of the top perfection? I'm not sure. Their sweet rolls I felt were just bready and dense, the truffle was overly much. But I'd come back any day to give them the chance, if I had the time and a bit of extra money in my pocket.
