The Dirty Dog is a wonderful venue for a night of music, food and libations! We were at the early seating for the Detroit iconic jazz group Straight Ahead. These ladies are on par with any small combo groups I've ever heard (male or female)! Our server, Katy, was excellent and provided on-point food and beverage recommendations. If you're looking for a cozy, intimate evening with great entertainment, The Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe is the place!

Choose Watermark for our monthly Dinner Club. Overall we had a very nice experience. We ordered chips and salsa as a table app but the salsa is very odd- more like a pasta sauce. It’s very smooth and not much flavor. For our entrees, 3 had the Fish and Chips and the portions were very big. So were the entree salads. The side salads also were very fresh and of ample size. One complaint not addressed was the menu said the perch was sautéed but it was delivered fried. Still tasty but not as it should have been cooked.
