    Good quality the environment. The food tastes great...No doubt about it.!!! Only slight little problem was that sometimes depending on the waitress or the server,. when you place your ordert, it takes a little while for them to bring your order. But at the end, I got it. And i didn't get charged. Compliments on the house. Because of the delay. I double check my receipt and yep,.Indeed my plate was free I was on the house. So yeah, I can't complain much. Just the serv. attendant a bit of delay..But other than that,? A 4 out of 5.. 👍

    Had an incredible dinner at Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar in Downey—honestly, the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The salmon was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. The toasted bread was warm, crispy, and just right. The salad, topped with blue cheese and a tangy balsamic mix dressing, brought everything together beautifully. With friendly service and a great atmosphere, this place stands out as the best dining spot in town. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality food and an outstanding experience.

    This place really grew on me the entire staff at the Downey location shows me love every time I’m here and when I order online. I’ll definitely be back to finish working my way throughout their fabulous menu and the deserts are amazing too I accidentally placed a pick up order at the downtown location and I was shown lots of love as well this place is always a great choice for dinner lunch or just a nice cocktail with a special friend/loved one.

    We ordered the melted feta cheese and it was delicious. The drinks and burgers were good, not so much for the Greek bowl. The waiter could be more friendly.
