    We dined here before a show. The food was delicious; the service was excellent; and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The portion size was very generous and my steak was well prepared.

    I go to Joe Allen’s all the time. My favorite Broadway haunt. But they sat our table of 4 next to the waiters station and it was uncomfortably bustling and noisy.

    The food was delicious, fresh, with large portions and several options for vegetarians and vegans. The homemade veggie burger and rosemary fries were delicious and the sides and salads were large enough for a meal. Service was outstanding and the atmosphere became lively and louder later in the evening, but was cozy and quiet before the true dinner hour--though the seats are very close together so it would not be the ideal choice for an intimate, romantic dinner. Overall, I would highly recommend the Blue Dog Cookhouse and Bar and will definitely return if I'm in that neighborhood again.

    Food was quite wonderful, surprisingly so for a venue close to theater. A little noisier than I would have liked but to be proximate to our show (7 PM curtain) made it a worthwhile trade-off. Would absolutely return, my new "go to" restaurant for theater evenings.
