“Meal and service was excellent! Highly recommend going there,make a reservation. The grouper and halibut were awesome!“

“We had an excellent dining experience, thanks to Casey’s outstanding service. He was incredibly attentive and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the evening. For dinner, I enjoyed the pheasant, which was absolutely delicious, while my husband had the ribeye—perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our son ordered the sirloin, but it wasn’t quite to our liking. Casey handled it with professionalism and care, ensuring it was promptly corrected. His warm and accommodating nature truly elevated our experience, making our evening both enjoyable and memorable.“

“Went for a smash burger and onion rings. Good was very good. My server was inattentive and pushy. Halfway through eating (alone) she came to the table with her credit card machine and said ‘are you ready to settle up?.’ Burger in my hand. I looked at and said, not yet, thanks. She rolled her eyes and walked away. I had to ask another server if I could order a cider. She nodded and in 2 min was back with it. I finished my meal and waited 13 minutes for my waitress to return. I finally stopped another server and asked if he wouldn’t mind getting my server as I was ready to check out. She came back after 6 minutes with her machine and put it in front of me. I popped my card on it. ‘Would you like to include a tip?’

I’ll leave it in cash. She departs and I reached into my pocket and placed $1,56 on the table.
Then found the guy who brought my food and Cider and gave him $5. Found the other server who found my waitress and gave him $5.

Greeter ‘How was your meal!’ Very good!
‘How was your service?’ Well the two who brought my food and cider, and had to find my waitress to settle up, I tipped personally. The inattentive server assigned to my table I left $1 and change. About that time, my server walked up and said with her hand out holding her tip ‘I believe you left this.’ No, that’s for your service. ‘Really?!?’ She said. I looked at the greeter and said ‘see?’ I thfn walked out.“

“High end resturant, service was good. First time fist impressions a good resturant over all, prices on high side and we notice on the menu if sharing charge extra $4. Atmosphere very good & outside seating for pets if you have them.
See if next time food & service will improve. Could of been what we ordered since was lunch. As much was over cooked and servers where very matter if fact when serving and taking order. But again first time dinning at this resturant. We just expected more from a high end resturant. Thank you, Travers“

“The food was excellent and the service was top notch. I highly recommend The Ugly Dog to eat. I got an hour down the road and stop for gas and realized I left my credit card behind. I called the restaurant and one of the servers was nice enough to mail my card to my house. Not too many places would do that. I'm very grateful to the employee. I won't hesitate to stop again.“
