    Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

    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.

    Tried CP’s $32 brunch, well worth it. Sat outdoors, service was quick & polite. I did the Eggs Benedict & unlimited sangria - two pitchers and the staff refilled immediately. Nice sitting outdoors on Bleecker St just before winter ends that joy again! Recommended.
