    Thank you to our server Ella for taking such great care of our group dinner. My sorority sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals, drinks and the service as we celebrated 34 years. The truffle fries were popular. The mushroom soup was delicious. We appreciated the extra care shown with our special dessert. The candles and ice cream were a nice touch. Looking forward to dining again in the future.

    Excellent service, as always. Fun place to celebrate special occasions. They make you feel special. The menu is shorter than previously, making choices hard for a picky eater. They were able to leave out an ingredient so I could eat my first choice.

    We chose White Dog Cafe in Haverford to celebrate our 50th dating anniversary. Oysters were deep cups of briny succulence . The red/gold beet salad with ricotta goat cheese held a surprise- deep fried polenta croutons.. never had it before but need to find recipe to make at home. My date/husband enjoyed his lamb bolognese with homemade rigatoni while I fully enjoyed the most tender and juicy brook trout over sliced baby potatoes. A very memorable dinner for a memorable date

    As usual, a family favorite! Where else can you get a fabulous martini and cheese board plus kids get buttered pasta with fries?! We will continue to come often!

    Got a cheese plate, which included 3 or 4 crostinis. Had to ask for extra and wait, then our entrees came out before we were finished. The table was too small to accommodate the amount of plates. Got the bill and there’s an upcharge for crostinis. Is there a bread shortage? Why not just give enough and roll the upcharge into the cheese plate cost? Why waste everyone’s time? The place was busy and this kind of BS slows down servers and foodrunners, and reduces table turnover. Honestly I feel bad for the staff, it’s a really dumb policy and made the experience unpleasant. The food was ok. Our server and the entirety of the staff were excellent, and maybe the only redeeming part.
