  In town for a conference and stopped by for lunch. Lazy Dog has a fun/cool atmosphere and the service was good! We had the French onion pastry puffs for an appetizer. It was really good but it did not stand out as French onion. For the meal I had the soup and salad- chicken tortilla soup and house salad with ranch dressing. The soup was bland with very little flavor. It needed seasoning. The house salad was very good and I really liked the ranch dressing. My friend had the Cuban and she really liked the sandwich. Her fries were cold so that was a bit of a letdown. Overall- I would totally come back here and try some different dishes.

  After leaving brunch at another location, I decided to stop by lazy dog for a drink. Me and My Husband were immediately seated on the patio. We got amazing service from the waiter the runners and the Manager. This was our first time at lazy dog. We are new to the Los Angeles area. Unbeknownst, the manager came by to introduce himself and to give us complementary chips that was absolutely delicious and a small gesture that made a big impact. Me and My Husband had a great time and we can’t wait to return to try other items on the menu.
