    Literally the worst service experience I have ever had. As I sat down, the boy bartender came over and asked, "what can I get you?" I said, "How about two menus?". He scoffed child-like and questioned, "Two?". I said, "Yeah. A drink menu and a food menu." Now this already annoyed me, but I suspect it is of the culture here as it happened the last couple times I have been in. Lazy Dog, I am talking to the management here. If you are telling the bartenders to say that before offering a menu or phrasing it different, that's on you. It's dumb if patrons are not regulars. How would anyone know what they want before they know what you have to offer? Idiotic. After my food came, I was ignored completely for the rest of the time as I sat at the bar solo. There were two other couples at the bar top, that was it. It literally came down to the lady from of the couple adjacent to me hollering at them not once but twice to get any service. The boy bartender came over after and said, "well you were talking so I just left you alone". Well child, what we were talking about and why the conversation started, was because I was getting zero service. We were literally talking about how awful the service was and how I was being ignored for like 15-20 minutes. There was no remorse from this self-apsorbed boy. He was actually quite rude and defensive with me instead of apologetic. It's like he wanted to start a fight. Get rid of this person. Seriously. Thanks

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A heartfelt thank you to Lazy Dog Cupertino and GM Diego Rodriguez We recently held my dad’s Celebration of Life at the Lazy Dog Restaurant in Cupertino, and I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional experience we had. From start to finish, General Manager Diego Rodriguez was absolutely amazing to work with. Diego was deeply respectful of our circumstances, compassionate, and creative in finding a time when we could rent out the entire restaurant. He helped us choose the perfect menu, tailored to our guests, and was instrumental in organizing the flow of the event. Thanks to his support, we were able to personalize the space with a slideshow that played throughout the restaurant and our own playlist in the background — touches that made the day truly special. When it came time for speeches, Diego made sure we had a microphone ready, and whenever my sister or I felt overwhelmed, he was right there, offering genuine support and kindness. The staff was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive, making sure every guest felt cared for. It was an emotional day, but Diego and his team created an atmosphere filled with comfort and grace. While other restaurants turned us away when I inquired about a 3-hour buyout, Lazy Dog welcomed us with open arms. Because of Diego and his amazing team, we will be forever loyal customers. Thank you, Diego, and everyone at Lazy Dog Cupertino, for helping us honor my dad’s memory in such a beautiful and meaningful way. ❤️

    A delightful experience! We got seated super quick even at a busy time, our food came out fresh and hot very quickly, and we had a great time with our meal, which was a lot of appetizers as me and my girlfriend couldn't decide what to get. The Cajun Fries, Candy Bacon, and Brussels Sprouts as phenomal! Our visit was catered wonderfully by our server, Maya, who was attentive and made sure we had a great time!
