    What an amazing brunch! Everything we ordered was delicious! Not only did the food taste fantastic, it was beautiful, too. Service was impeccable. Perfect timing, food was delivered hot, and so tasty. The environment was stunning, especially decorated for the holidays. Highly recommend. Note: The fire alarms went off multiple times due to someone opening a wrong door. Staff were apologetic and handled it with grace. We appreciated the manager coming by the table to apologize (not necessary) and make sure we were having a wonderful time.

    Excellent food and experience at Blue Dog!! Service staff are professionals. Food was amazing and loved the complimentary amuse-bouche (delicious and lovely touch). Entry to restaurant feels like a speak easy, hidden gem. It is a very small restaurant (around 50 seats) so definitely recommend a reservation but the size & moody decor adds to the uniqueness. Less than 2 blocks from Gershwin theater so lovely to eat here before or after a show.

    We arrived at our reservation early and they allowed us to go ahead and sit. Such a warm, friendly restaurant! The appetizers (delicata squash and meatball sliders) were delicious, as was the special ravioli, roast chicken, risotto, and all the desserts! The only underwhelming dish was the daily fish, but it really didn’t matter because everything else was so great. We felt super welcome, even with two young kids. Please go visit them if you want a special meal while in NYC!

    Our entire experience was amazing! We took our 3 teenagers and they all tried several foods they had never had before. The server was so kind to explain things to them and walk them through the menu. Service was amazing, the food was amazing, the open kitchen made it a more relaxed environment and so cool to watch the chefs. We had such a great night!
