This was the most recent of many evenings spent at the Dirty Dog. The experience was very good but not quite up to the standard we have come to expect. The waiter and bartender were a bit confused by our drink orders, which had to be repeated. While others at our table were happy with their food, mine was a disappointment. However the desert was excellent. Would we go back again? Of course. But they need to tighten the ship a bit - I'm sure the spirit of the redoubtable Ms. Valade is watching closely.
