Compliments to your Chef. Food was outstanding. Our server, Cero, was fabulous. His service and presentation at the table augmented the Chef’s presentation and plating of the food in the kitchen. Cannot wait to go back!!

Went there on Saturday, partly because they have BYOB night. We brought a 2016 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Papes. It was delicious and went well with the meatballs, salmon with lentils and red wine sauce and the short ribs. We also shared their cloud cake- it was a perfect ending- light and not too sweet. We plan to come back and love the concept of BYOB because it lets us bring a special bottle that would be way too expensive on a restaurant wine list. Next time we will bring a different wine- maybe one from South Africa.

The food, drinks and service were all fantastic and the room is absolutely beautiful! We didn’t have time for the afternoon tea but their tea that I ordered to drink is excellent. It is definitely on the pricier side but well worth a visit (stop in for a coffee/tea just to experience the setting).

Never had been here before. Restaurant was beautiful, and the service was impeccable. Everything we ate was so good. We started with the grilled octopus, which was probably the best I have ever had. We also tried the veal bacon which was delicious. For entrees we ordered the pork chop and the short ribs, which according to the server, were the two most popular choices. I can see why. Both were cooked to perfection. The basque cheesecake was rich and not overly sweet, which paired nicely with the salted caramel sauce. The dark chocolate cake with pumpkin mousse was also very good. We went home with lots of leftovers and will definitely go back.

    Loved our lunch at Barking Dog! Our dog finished her entire burger bowl, so I think it's safe to say she loved it too hahaha. I had the Bird & Waffle and really enjoyed it! The fries were a little on the soft side, but still good. Always appreciate a restaurant where we can bring our dog and she gets to enjoy a meal of her own. We'll definitely be back!
