    It’s a nice little place with lots of outdoor seating options. Food was decent. However, they need to consult with someone regarding their extremely disappointing and unimaginative cocktail menu.

    First time eating at Dogwoods and we will be back. Food was served quickly even though they were pretty busy. Good menu options and what we ordered was all pretty good.

    Nice vibe. Food was okay. Not diabetic friendly. Wanted to have sugar free syrup with pancakes or French toast., not available. That is a big miss. Asked for Splenda for coffee, was told they had Equal. That is fine. What they brought was junky pink saccharine. Yuk. Again big miss. Added 18% gratuity to a buffet. I think that is not a good way to do business. Waitress was not really nice. I wondered why. Now I realize she did not even have to try to earn tip because it was automatically added to bill. Would not go to another buffet there.

    The food was great, the service was awesome. The only concern was the restaurant was very small but other than that I had a great time. I will definitely go back !!!

    We had a party of seven dine at Dogwood’s Kitchen and Bar, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. Every dish we ordered was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with care. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, making it ideal for a night out with friends or family. Dogwood’s delivered on every level—food, service, and ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great selection of food and unique flavors. Had the shrimp ceviche appetizer which was delicious and the zip sauce pasta with steak and chicken that was a well thought out dish.
