    Went for a bite before the show. We had three apps which were tasty and plentiful. Drinks were equally satisfying. Will go back.

    Service was outstanding. The entire staff was pleasant. The menu choices need more options. The prices are extremely expensive for the quality. The 30.00 cheeseburger had no flavor think it was not fresh and was frozen patty. Again, very very over priced.

    Very limited menu with no proper choices for celiac and wait staff not knowledgeable about menu and dietary matters. We had to leave without eating.

    This is the best salmon I have had in my memory. We have traveled everywhere. This was cooked so perfectly. The center kept incredibly hot, and it was so excellently cooked. Yes, slightly salty. The sides were delicious. The fries amazing. The ceviche was kinda hard to eat, because of the presentation. But it was so delicious I would order it again. The chips were a little too salty, yes. Some of the same reviewers comment on this and it is true. But that would not keep me from going back. The cocktails were excellent and came out very very fast. Yes the appetizer came out before the drinks - kinda weird. But I’ll take fast service and delicious food over deliberately spaced out items that taste sub par. Yes this is very very noisy. Yes they seemed slightly short staffed. The location is ideal for seeing an event downtown, which is what we did. Made our reservation a week ahead, and glad I did because they were constantly turning people away. We will absolutely go back. I will plan to take my parents and kids next time. If you’re extremely fussy, you will be bothered by things here. But if you want amazing food and drinks and location, don’t let the little things keep you away. Delicious experience!

    My friend of many years came into town and I chose the Blue Hound for our Lunch get together! It was a wonderful choice! Our server Samatha was delightful and very helpful throughout our meal! We stayed much longer than we intended as we had not seen each other in several years! The restaurant staff couldn’t have been nicer. However, the outstanding employee was definitely Samatha, she is truly a Gold Star Employee!

    Our reservation was at 530. Took 15 minutes to seat us although the restaurant was not full at all. We had a 7 pm show to attend. Ordered cocktails and food at the same time. Appetizer and entrees came at the same time. Cocktails were not served by the time entrees were finished. Several other tables we’re complaining about beverage service. Food quality was poor. Rubbery calamari. Lobster roll was below average. Management clearly did not set up staff for success last night. Bar was full of dirty glassware and only one bartender appeared to be working. Last time we will be visiting
