    Overall a mediocre experience at best. Salad uninspired and way too much dressing. Strip steak for $55, nearly half was fat, rest of it was tough. Meatloaf was way too salty. Bread basket was decent. Server was attentive and personable. We were seated in a room behind and adjacent to the front, main dining room. Said room was a mess. When diners left, the empty tables were not cleaned so in essence we were surrounded by dirty tables. I don’t know when White Dog devolved to a third rate establishment but we will never patronize it again

    Service was poor. We never saw our waiter once he took our order. Two of us wanted to order a glass of wine with dinner but there was no sight of him. After dinner another waiter came. We asked to see the dessert menu and he brought our check instead. Main food was ok. But, we ordered rolls that were cold inside. If you're going to make people pay for bread, it should be delivered and presented properly. I've been to White Dog in Haverford, Wayne and Philly numerous times. This was disappointing. I happened to share this experience with another family member who said when she last went it was so bad, her group decided they'd never go back. WHAT HAPPENED TO WD IN HAVERFORD?
