   The restaurant is a beautiful waterfront venue that has a menu with something for everyone. I had the sea bass special which came with a house salad that was the perfect size. The salad was more than just the boring greens and a few veggies. It has kidney cheese, pumpkin seeds and feta. The Seabass was cooked perfectly and very fresh. We sat below on the enclosed deck. Since it was a perfect night weather wise the deck was open to the sea air with a beautiful view

   We been many times. Food is excellent. They are cautious and considerate to dairy and gluten free. Service is very friendly and caring to our needs. The views of the water make you feel like you are on a boat! Valet parking is important being on Rte 1. We recommend this restaurant!

   We love Yellow Dog, but on Easter Sunday it was very crowded and not enough help. Our waiter tried but he had too many tables! We will be back it's a favorite.

   Setting, food, server, excellent as always, except food has never taken as long as it did, after 15-20 minutes of having finished our appetizer, and not having received our soup and salad, my husband got up and asked the waiter if these items could be brought to our table. One of the things we have always appreciated at YDC is the impeccable timing between courses. We then waited another 20 minutes after finishing soup and salad, for our entree. The dining area in which we sat was only half full when we were there, although the upper deck seemed to move patrons along, quickly. Our waiter was working hard- it was obviously a kitchen issue. In fact, when we walked in, at around 12:45, we overheard a waitress complaining to another staff member that her table was complaining about the wait for their food. This is not what we, or anyone expects from YDC, as we pay up for the wonderful food AND service. And no, being a holiday is NOT a valid excuse- we dine here on just about every holiday, and have never had an issue. What was off today? Staff shortage? Or is this now the norm? For $240 for two people, we expect better. We expect what we have always received from YDC. We hope this is not their new level of service, as to which so many have fallen. We will return again, because we do love YDC so much, and hopefully, it is a return to paradise.

   Incredible dining experience. Food was wonderful — if they have the Burrata salad, opt for that and definitely save room for dessert. Never had (or wanted) bread pudding before but it came highly recommended and it did not disappoint! Highly recommend. Chef Stuart came around at the end of the meal to check how things were…he was incredibly personable and spent a fair amount of time with us. Already have made a reservation to return. I may have a new favorite restaurant in the Mebourne area!
