This place used to be great but this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We waited about 10 minutes for the hostess to either start her shift or return from a break while other employees just walked past us. Beer selection used to be really interesting but now it seems pretty standard. We were served flat beers that I even questioned if they were the correct beer because they tasted so bad. He just shrugged his shoulders and then walked over to the taps, I guess to attempt another pour? While he was away we tried the fries which were obviously fried much earlier that day. They were cold and tasted stale. I found our server and told him we were leaving because the beers and food was not edible. I will never go back to this restaurant.

The service was poor. The food was so so and extremely expensive. I had a salad and a glass of wine $47. Which included tip. We ordered garlic bread, it never came. Waited 45min to an hour for our entree. I will not return to this restaurant again.

We were seated in time, and had drinks first before ordering. The food was as good as previous visits, and ambience is fun. It's a happening place.

Please improve ! Needs better chef (food was oily and tasteless). Better service (ignoring polite but disappointed feedback), improved ambiance (nothing new from before). Give them time (90 days) after which I’m very sad to say that our local place has died off, will NOT survive here. I have better hopes but not looking great ☹️

Summer 2022, they claim to be in "soft (re)opening." The location is great, with a nice courtyard, and people bring dogs. Relaxed, friendly, and good for families. We had a reservation for 4 adults for dinner, and were given a small "Paris style" Cafe table. After immediate water service, nobody checked on us for orders for over 30 minutes. Once someone showed up, and took orders, then most appetizers and entrees and cocktails and drinks were served at the same time, which made us have to eat cold, and didn't fit on the table. (One appetizer and one entree arrived much later.) The burger ordered medium well was rare inside -- they did take this off the check. Any one of these things would've been okay, but clumped together, it doesn't come out swinging. I'll give them a few months to see where they're going before I give them a second shot.

It was a nice clean place, but i guess it was a new takeover restaurant, the menu is so limited and its on the high pricing. But the atmosphere is great and easy to fund a parking. Price is alittle too high but i guess due to the location, they can get the price they want.

Waterdog is now under new management and sadly, it shows. It took more than 45 minutes for our pretzel appetizer to come, it was drenched in queso and tasteless. Our food was mediocre and took another 40+ minutes to arrive. We used to love this place and unfortunately will go elsewhere. Despite lots of wait staff, the service was not good.

We ate outside. The garden like setting is the reason to go! Great brussel sprouts and beer. It would be nice if menu was expanded or there were daily/weekly specials.

Missing items from our order and had to visit the kitchen a few times to request/check on order. Would be a wonderful addition to the service to hire just one or two people to walk around and ask table if they are needing anything or if everything is ok. Very tough customer service experience with the e-menu and e-ordering.

As soon as we sat down outside, which was really nice, the young bus person spilled a huge cup of ice water on my 3 year old grandson. He was completely soaked. The young man apologized and vanished immediately never to be seen again. We ordered our drink, appetizers , and food via an app. Everything came out at the same time. There are no wait persons just food runners and bus people. The food was ok, mostly sysco corporate pre made food. The portions where large. The outdoor area was nice. I paid our check via the app and left. Had pretty much no contact with staff other than the free ice water bath. I would not return.

Our breakfast was served cold. It took so long to get it that we weren’t going to complain and wait for a re-do. We ate what we could and left. Dog friendly.

We enjoyed all of our food and drinks. We had to find our table, clean our table, and set it. No water refills. The ambiance outside was wonderful. Bundle up, it gets chilly.

Had requested indoor seating, they tried to put us outside. The QR Code did not work. Meatloaf did not taste like meat & had texture of mush. Manager was pushy. Waiters & Bar Staff very nice. $30 for a pitcher of Beer seemed high.

Worst dining experience ever!! After waiting 45 minutes for a margarita, we left without even drinking it. Absolute utter total confusion. It was 25 minutes before a server even came to the table. Additionally, a couple two tables away had their dog sitting on their lap inside the restaurant with its head on the table. I pointed out to management that this was against the California Department of Health rules. Management apologized and told me they wouldn’t let it happen next time. There was a huge patio area outside where there were many tables with dogs but this couple evidently did not want to sit outside. And no, it wacky a service dog. Just their pet/child. After 25 minute wait for a server to come to the table, and other 20 minute wait for the drinks, the total confusion going on in the place and the dog with its head on the table, I couldn’t stand any more. We asked for the check. Management told us we didn’t need to pay. As we left, with drinks on the table, a young girl accosted my friend about leaving without paying the bill. Ugly night and definitely won’t be going back there. Evidently the restaurant has been sold and new management in place. Good luck to all

It was a 13-year-old birthday. When I made the reservation through OpenTable I asked for a specific dessert to be delivered with a candle. It seems that the waiter had no idea about it.

This is a quick service place masquerading as sit down with sit down prices. There is *no* service at this restaurant. Even the hostess just points at a table and tells you to find it over there. Absolute mess.

We love Waterdog. It's our go-to casual hangout with friends, especially since Covid. Love their outdoor biergarten. Best brussels sprouts on the Peninsula. Kids meals are an excellent value and consistently eaten by my picky eaters. Fabulous brunch on the weekends, too!

They have utilized a new online ordering system with a glitchy interface. The hostess did not explain it at all, which resulted in each of us ordering separately, getting multiple orders of the things we canceled, and everyone's food coming out at different times, some 20 minutes apart. Not a great experience, which is too bad because I always liked this restaurant and thought their food was pretty good. The chilaquiles were awful.

So disappointing, it used to be great. Online system and servers confused by outdoor table #s. Drinks and starters took 30+ minutes to arrive and were wrong. Mains took over 1.5 hours to arrive, one beer never made it and the burger was so undercooked it could have walked itself over. Major flaw in the ordering system - if food is delivered to the wrong table, picked at and rejected, the system thinks the order is complete, so the people missing the food don’t get fed. Had to call the front desk (yes call!) from the table and go inside a couple of times to get our meal re-made. Had to intercept the order when it was again given to another table. Recommend skipping the place until they get their act together.

I wish this place had better food. It’s always so-so and very inconsistent. The service is good and it’s a beautiful place, just mediocre food. The drinks are not as good as they should be.

I love Waterdog Tavern, but last night was not good. The starter and the main course came at the same time and both were cold. We asked twice about our drinks and eventually the cocktails came when we were nearly done with our dinner. When we told the waiter that one of the side dishes was not there he said they ran out and then said they would compensate for that. This is not a typical experience, and I think they were way understaffed. I felt sorry for the waiters. I hope the new management will make improvements, because this is such a local gem.

First time submitting the order via the mobile app. Food tasty. Service very slow but friendly. Drinks came towards the end of the meal. We were at an inside table squeezed next to a plant that was drooping over us but we did pull the table away.

Online ordering for takeout was unavailable so we made a reservation to eat there. Food came quickly but our drinks took an hour, a soda and two beers. Maybe it was just busy but with the phone ordering it's hard to flag down a server to ask or cancel parts of your order if you'd rather not wait.

My family loves this place! Great for families with kids and dogs. We love sitting in the beer garden with a little stream running through it. They have heat lamps for when it’s cooler out and nicely shaded and comfortable when it’s hot out. Food is delish and drinks are 💯! I highly recommend the smoky margarita!
