    I visited Lazy Dog in Montclair with my family recently, and unfortunately the experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish. When we entered, the hostess did not greet us at all. We stood waiting for an extended period and when we politely asked about our table, we were met with attitude rather than assistance. There was no apology or explanation for the delay. After a long wait, our party of eight was finally seated. We placed our order, which included four burgers. After waiting approximately one hour, the manager, Toni, came to inform us that they were out of burger buns. This was confusing and frustrating because newer guests who arrived after us were clearly being served burgers with buns. When we asked why we were not informed sooner, the manager stated that someone had been sent to the store to buy buns. Instead of offering a sincere apology or a solution, the manager was dismissive and told us to just order something else. The tone was rude and unprofessional. Given the lack of communication, poor service, and dismissive treatment, we chose to leave. The overall environment did not feel welcoming, and as a family of color, the experience was uncomfortable enough that I would not recommend eating here if you are a person of color. This visit reflected serious issues with customer service, management response, and basic hospitality. I will not be returning.

    I don't usually write restaurant reviews. I've been to this restaurant many times, and the food quality is consistently good. Last time, they served the appetizer after the main course, and the manager personally brought it over and apologized. This restaurant is run with care and is definitely worth trying!

    I went for brunch which is every Saturday and Sunday from open until 2pm. They don't do a great job advertising but they should it was great. I started with the bloody Mary with candied bacon. It was great the bacon was a bit on the sweet side. I would have preferred a thicker slice even if that reduced the over all serving. They also offer the candied bacon as an appetizer which I couldn't eat more than one piece but if you like sweet with a hint of salt you would enjoy it. I got the country quiche which was very good. The crust was very rich with butter a little dense but tasted good. I'm not sure if the make the crust in house, if it is they could take a little more time to get it nice and flaky. The filling was good, seasoned well and was excellently cooked. The egg was great not over cooked and the filings didn't overpower everything. Almost forgot the coffee was good, better than dinner coffee. I'll definitely come back to try something else if the menu.
