Absolutely wonderful dining experience, the only criticism i have is that when we walked in the hostess looked us up and down like we didnt belong and spoke to us with attitude, i chalk it up to maybe she was having a bad day, but after that we were seated promptly and our waitress was Absolutely amazing and had such a positive attitude, she was very knowledgeable on the menu and treated us with the utmost respect. The food was amazing and the crab bisque was to die for, for an entrée I had the jagersnitzel and it was great! I would recommend this restaurant for any night of the week if you are looking for an upscale restaurant.
Attended a reception at this venue. Externally it does not have much appeal. However the views and atmosphere inside are unique and noteworthy. The food was fabulous and the wait staff was courteous and attentive. We had a complication with seating and Hayden was quick with a solution as well as flawlessly attending to the needs of our 36-person party. The restroom was a little quirky, which can be seen in photos.
What an amazing experience! I came for lunch with a friend and was greeted by a friendly valet that was complimentary. There’s stunning views making it feel upscale but without the attitude. The food was absolutely delicious. I’m so impressed by this place and will absolutely be back!
I give Yellow Dog my 5 star rating! This restaurant is a must come and experience on your next visit! Thank you Alex, Anya and Dale for your hospitality! Until we meet again..
We haven't been here in years, but always a family favorite. Our lunch was delicious. As usual fantastic food, superb service, warm & cozy atmosphere, especially during the rain we had this afternoon. We have had so many wonderful meals and cherished memories over the years. Its comfort and home for us. Thank you Yellow Dog for all the great times for so many years!
We loved this place. Such a unique location right on the water. The building itself had a ton of charm. The service was great. They do a fantastic job of making sure you are able to see the water. The food was very good with quality ingredients. We especially liked the crab bisque. It was creamy and delicious with crab in every bite. This is a special restaurant.
My husband and I hosted our baby shower here last month, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The food was superb, the atmosphere was gorgeous, and the staff truly went above and beyond. Many of our guests even shared that it was the best baby shower they had ever attended. Thank you to Yellow Dog Cafe for helping bring our dream baby shower to life!
Had an early new years eve dinner at this lovely place, and it was all a very pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was very festive and cozy, service impeccable, food a "5" star caliber. And of course having the water views was superb!! I think I just found my new FAVORITE restaurant. Can't wait to go back.
The is our second trip, we went a few years before on our anniversary which is 2 day before Valentine's Day. We enjoyed the tuna nachos and calamari appetizers. I would pass the second time on the nachos simply due to portion size. You get 3 wonton style nachos loaded with succulent bites or ahi tuna which was a pleasure in every bite. The calamari was a very pleasant surprise of a sweet chili sauce that the calamari was tossed in, new favorite! I had their version of a shrimp jambalaya which was made with homemade sausage and a very generous large shrimp. My wife had the Jägerschnitzel, with red cabbage and spaetzle and a rich mushroom gravy again amazing taste! Service was perfect not too much and just enough to allow for deep conversations! It's very rare that you go out anywhere and everything you taste, every bite is a 10/10!!
Beautiful restaurant on the river. We enjoyed Christmas dinner here and have done so for the past few years. Delicious food and excellent service. This time I tried the Burrata, Ravioli and Peach Melba. All were delicious! We look forward to visiting Yellow Dog and would recommend it!
