    My wife and I went here last night for dinner. Our server was very attentive. I got the fish and chips, which was very good. The portion size was generous (unlike Panera Bread). The atmosphere wasn't too distracting, although we were in the bar, and the draft from the outside door was a bit cold. Overall, a very good dining experience!

    🌟 Lazy Dog Restaurant — A Flavorful Experience Worth Every Bite If you’re looking for a place that serves comfort food with a gourmet twist, Lazy Dog Restaurant definitely delivers! From the moment I sat down, I knew I was in for a treat. Their menu is packed with mouthwatering appetizers, and I couldn’t resist trying a few. The Bang Bang Shrimp šŸ¤ instantly stole the show — perfectly crispy, lightly tossed in a creamy, spicy sauce that had just the right amount of kick. It’s the kind of dish you could easily order two of and still want more! For my entrĆ©e, I chose the Sea Bass, and it was nothing short of amazing. The fish was tender, buttery, and cooked to perfection — every bite just melted in my mouth. It was beautifully paired with creamy cauliflower mash and roasted vegetables, which added a comforting and balanced touch to the meal. The flavors were fresh, vibrant, and satisfying without being heavy. Lazy Dog truly impressed me with its cozy atmosphere, attentive service, and incredible food. Whether you’re stopping in for appetizers with friends or a full dinner, this spot hits the mark. I’ll definitely be back — and next time, I’m ordering the Bang Bang Shrimp again! šŸ˜

    I really wanted to love this restaurant. The menu looks amazing. The experience wasn't bad, but it could have been so much better. The Poblano Pork looked great, the meat was tender but bland but luckily the sauce was tasty. Sadly, the blue corn tamale was bland also and none of it was to temperature. The Korean Ribeye Bibimbap was very good but also not to temp. Honey Feta appetizer was warm and a good size. More actual feta in the dip would help this dish. The biggest disappointment was they were out of the house white wine on the happy hour menu. It was still happy hour and they were not busy, but they were out. I asked if they would substitute another white wine for the happy hour price and the manager said no. I was really shocked that when you're out of a product you refuse to substitute. The server was great but management, hmmm. Not a good feeling about that call. If food temp and customer care can't be handled, I'll not be bringing the hospital staff over for holiday dinner or my niece & crew for engagement lunch. Sorry Lazy Dog, y'all have a great look and facility, don't let your attention to detail and hospitality slide. There are tons of great venues in the area willing and able to take your business.
