    Ribs and Fried Chicken were both out of this world. Atmosphere and staff were both amazing too.

    A definite 10/10 West Village restaurant. Bird Dog was the perfect double date night spot and everyone in our party opted for the 3 course meal. The table was unanimous in our opinion of the food: every single dish was perfect; the cook on the pasta, the seasonings, the portions, the plating, everything. The decor was hilarious and adorable - Puppy renaissance. The service was top tier and our server has charisma fitting for the acting industry. The atmosphere was balanced and cozy. The food was so good I forgot to get a good picture of everything before going in! Food highlights: hush puppies, collard greens w/peanut dressing, baby back ribs, ravioli, fried chicken.

    Was very pleasantly surprised by this place! Not that I was expecting it to be bad, but we came for the pasta happy hour (50% off, 4-6, walk-in only) for a quick dinner before gallery hopping and it definitely exceeded expectations. We shared the orecchiette and tagliatelle and both were delicious - the orecchiette had a generous serving of lamb and the tagliatelle was mixed tableside and super decadent. Each had its own subtle twist of flavor with the mint in the orecchiette and the citrus in the tagliatelle. With the happy hour, it came out to $19 before tip, which was a great deal. Also want to mention that the (I believe) owner is very kind, and the restaurant itself is so cute and homey with all the on-theme dog photos and moody romantic lighting. We came a little after 5pm and were easily able to grab a table. Will be back someday to try more pastas and apps!
