    This was our 2nd year to have cocktails and dinner at W & G on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The cocktails are creative and unique. The food, whether tapas to share or a full entre, is also creative and a full flavor experience. We plan to make this an annual part of our Thanksgiving tradition.

    All food was wonderful….. Mezze platter, crouchettes, wine, paella, Catalan flan type dessert… disappointed though that no mint or herbal tea was on the menu or in the house. We had requested a city view… texted that it could not be guaranteed and ended up in the furthest back table away from any view. That was disappointing but the food was so good 👍

    The service and ambience were amazing! We have appetizers, 4 pasta and the pork chop shared between 4 adults which worked out perfect. The food was excellent noting the Cavatelli (Ragu) I think is the best in the city. Thanks Bar Dough for a memorable experience.
