    We had a great dinner in comfy surroundings. We requested a quiet table and were given one that worked. Our server was a bit slow this night and was very serious. She never smiled but may have been concentrating. Not our usual experience. We enjoyed a cocktail, both tasty, and a cheese board that included several selections along with crisps, raw honey, apple slices and craisins. All great. Their "Hawaiian" rolls were awesome. Once again I had the Black and Blue Salad. It is a great combo with the blue cheese and blackened shrimp and a large enough size for dinner. My companion enjoyed the deviled eggs, a must, and shrimp and noodles. He enjoyed all. No dessert tonight but the Cappucino was very good. We will be back!

    All the food was ice cold after waiting 45 minutes even the basket of bread… the chicken was raw and boiling hot and freezing cold. It’s ashame there wasn’t one person who knew how to cook I could’ve gone in the kitchen and done it myself. The French fries were heated and re heated they were stuck in a ball.

    This was the second disappointing experience with this restaurant, which, in the past has been a high-quality staple. First, we felt rushed, even though the restaurant really wasn’t that full. Second, the food was only warm when it should’ve been hot. Although the food is tasty, there really isn’t a good reason for multiple dishes not to be sufficiently warm. To be honest, not sure when we’ll go back to this particular location of the White Dog Café. It does not seem to be at the same level as the one downtown in Philadelphia.

    We enjoyed our dinner in the ‘pub’room, The service was attentive. The food was excellent. The White Dog is a safe bet on the Main Line.
