   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?

   The service was remarkable . I had a memorial service to attend and was running 30+ minutes late for party of five and the restaurant held the table for us.

   The restaurant seemed to b understaffed, with the result that service was not the best. Our waiter tried his best and did a good job in some ways, but several other staffers helped over the course of the meal as well. Unfortunately the food was uneven. We have eaten at this branch of the White Dog many times and have always found the food very good, but this time there were some disappointments. We did appreciate being able to stay after finishing our meal given that members offer group had not seen each other for some time.

   Have been coming for their amazing happy hour menu for over 20 years now . Menu changes constantly with new cocktails but they have the sense to keep favorites like the deviled eggs, truffle fries and oysters throughout as constant staples while changing out some other items on the menu.

    We had a great lunch. Place was packed so it was noisy but our waiter, Jonathan did a fabulous job. Started with tuna tartare which was good but the whipped cheese with pears was fairly bland. Great omelette, super mushroom soup and wonderful shrimp Caesar salad. Nice lunch place!
