We ordered the American hamburger and meaty pizza. Both were good but not exceptional. The aioli on the burger could have been more present (flavorful) and the bottom of the pizza crust went soggy. The beverages were average. That may be the area that needs the most improvement. It was a nice evening and atmosphere.

Brown Dog was our first dine in experience since the pandemic started. Hearing the laughter and chatter of other patrons was a delight. But beyond the general pleasantries of being around people again, the service and food were top notch. Our waiter, Norm was great and handled my very specific food substitutions like a champ. It felt like the real world again. Thank you for the excellent food and the glimpse of what’s to come in a world post pandemic.

Rating is actually 4.5. Food & service is 5 star. held back 1/2 star for the drinks, left is wanting both in volume & flavor, for the pricing. LOVE their take on every food item they serve! From the basil blue slaw to the halibut special (accommodating a tweak to one of the orders), to the strawberry shortcake...all impeccable!

This far exceeded my expectations! The website looked good and the menu looked good. I was expecting a nice dinner. IT. WAS. AMAZING. The Brown Dog Poutine was so tasty! It made a great appetizer. I had the Nashville Airline as my entree and the chicken was simply delicious! There aren't enough words to describe how tasty that goetta gravy is! I will definitely return soon!

Food is always great, cocktail for brunch was nice. My main concern is that the staff is super lax on pandemic protocols and 1/2 were not wearing masks at all. I am vaccinated but husband is not

Very attentive staff and wonderful food!
