Not prepared. We went online got tickets for an event. They over booked. The older hostess was so rude. We had a guest that was in an accident on crutches. Would not accommodate. Who doesnt accommodate someone who id disabled? Never said anything on the event about reserving tables.They had 2 people sitting in 6-8 tops and gave them the dinner tables for the whole 4 hour event? No two hour turn over and slot sat empty for 2 hours while they crammed us in like sardines. AC blew at one point it was so hot and sticky.They gave reservation signs to people at the bar probably friends with the older rude hostess. Who in turn took it upon themselves to throw peoples purses jackets and coats off seats at the actual bar while they put them down to pay or get the drinks! Gross. This is who you give chairs too? Trash people? How do you reserve bar chairs? But cant find a seat for a guy on crutches??? Never in all my years in the industry and as a restaurant owner ever seen this kind of amateur hour behavior.The dj was terrible kept playing 30 seconds of a song everyone would start dancing and then hed play a new song then he played the same snippets we just tried to dance to 3 times. So he was not on his game. The 8 of us who got tickets and followed the instructions on website just left went to Capital Grill which was JUST as slammed they were so organized & accommodating and found crutches a place to sit while we waited for a table. The hostess came right over. They have a first come first serve policy at the bar no reserving bar seats. Had a blast will never ever go back to the Blue Dog.

The hostess was SUPER RUDE when we were leaving. There are many other places in Boca or the Tri-County area you can go to eat, enjoy amazing service. Hard pass on this one!

Was a very odd experience. Burger came out raw. Chef didn’t want to put back on the pan so just credited me. Appetizers came out cold but edible. Buffalo Cauliflower was drenched in sauce. Truffle fries were fries with parm. sprinkled. Took 15 minutes to get water. To many good restaurants in area to have these odd experiences. And tip auto included for party of 5? We were laughing about the entire bizarre experience.

Excellent food and very good prices, really. A nice surprise in the usually overpriced SF area. The music volume could be too much, honestly, that's my only observation. It's hard to have a conversation with someone next to you. But the place and service are really good.

Had a great time, there was a private party going on while we were there. The music was loud, but we enjoyed it. The problem I have is this: our server was sweet but not attentive enough. When the bill came, it automatically added 20% tip for only 2 ppl 🙄 I was ok with that but felt it shouldn't have been assumed, especially for party of 2. I used my debit card and when the receipt came back to the table, an additional 3.75% was charged, none of this, the 20% auto charged for tip(party of two) then the additional 3.75% to use a card, debit card, like cash. I think for the prices, this should be disclosed upfront! WILL NOT RETURN...

I’ll be brief. The sound system was so loud the speakers distorted the entire time. the service was ok, however they tried double charging me at the entrance even though I had reserved a table and payed in advance. And the food.. I order a hamburger so tasteless I thought I had covid and was not able to taste anything. Apparently these cooks here do t know what salt is.

I’m giving 3 stars. My main issue is with the billing practices. While the prices are fair, there are some questionable charges worth noting. A 20% gratuity was automatically added, yet there was still an option to tip on the signing receipt. Additionally, there’s a 3.75% fee for using any credit card, including debit. It’s surprising that a restaurant in Town Center, Boca Raton, would impose a fee for credit card usage.
Terrible attention from the reception to the attention of the waiters. The restaurant is very small to hold events. I do not recommend it.
Kid-friendliness: It is not suitable for children because there are men and women drinking beer and wine.

On 12/12/24 I would NOT recommend this venue at ALL if u want to feel free of any political affiliation, racist mentality, etc…. NOT A WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT AT ALL!!! I’m Hispanic & had to walk out with several Jewish folks within minutes…… Dude really?? And WHY DID YOUR EVENT PLANNER ALLOW THIS CONTENT??

Great energetic atmosphere at night. Went to see the group Lime and had a great time with music being played. I gave this place 3 stars because the bartending staff was horrible. Not enough bartenders only 2 for the large crowd it took over 20 minutes to get the attention of a bartender and the drinks received were horrible. I asked for a long Island ice tea from the bartender with black hoop earrings that looks high as a lite and clearly didn't know how to make this drink which was horrible, basically a glass full of ice and some mix he came up with. The female bartenders was a bit better but she smirked when requesting long Island ice tea and when you give her money to pay she forgot to give me change back. Was told she does this all the time to see if you forget your change so she can keep it, this scam worked because I just left after waiting so long for drink. Bartenders should get retrained and add at least 2 more bartenders should be hired because this bar looses money from not being able to order drinks.

Wonderful time spent. Great music, food and entertainment. A bit crowded and food a bit overpriced but excellent. Will definitely come back in the future.
Kid-friendliness: Not really. This is an adult hang out. Maybe for lunch or brunch on weekends.
Enjoyed.
