    Delicious food, excellent service, nice restaurant. A little pricey as expected but good menu selection. Little disappointed to be charged $10 for the bread basket and had a credit card fee added on - feels like being nickel and dimed. Would go back (but not get the bread basket)

    Staff was very attentive and kind! Only qualm is that the tables were very close together and It felt as if we were on top of the couple next to us. Otherwise a very delicious meal and a nice experience overall!

    My husband and I had a great experience at White Dog-Haverford for Valentines Day dinner. The service was excellent and the food and drinks came quickly despite it being a very busy night. Everything was delicious!

    Our Valentine's lunch at White Dog Haverford was Excellent!! The food was great and our server Jamie was outstanding. He was kind and friendly and exactly the kind of server who makes you feel good about choosing to go out to a pricey lunch. Worth every penny.

    Our main "come away" from White Dog-Haverford: small portions (the trout) for moderate prices. The atmosphere was yackety-yack...but not overly so. Comfortable seating in the bar area.

    Our waiter was amazing - I wish I remembered his name. He was wearing a dog pin on his vest. He was friendly, welcoming, quick responsiveness and extraordinary. He made the experience even better. Food was delicious. We had the eggs, banana bread and smoked salmon salad. Food was plentiful. Atmosphere perfect for catching up with special friends. Thank you!

    Consistently good food and interesting menu. Enjoyed a nice lunch combination with tuna melt, mushroom soup and mixed green salad. Was fairly quiet with an artful ambience, but Service could’ve been a bit more attentive. Waited almost 10 minutes to have my order taken. And I was close to getting up to find the server for my check. Food is delicious.
