Ambience

Pros:

Cons:

  • "The space itself isn’t exactly magical and the bathrooms aren’t stunning."
  • "Cramped seating, no waiting area, we did not feel it was as kid-friendly as it's billed to be on other websites."
  • "Only issue was that we were inside to escape the heat on a 90+ degree day but with no a/c it was still hot inside."
  • "It smelled a little like pet pee, but we were right by a grate that I'm sure they wash down pet urine often, so it wasn't too bad."
  • "There is a machine attached to a tree by some tables that I assume is meant to mimic an owl and keep rats away. It makes a very annoying high pitch sound."
  • "It was a little awk sitting in a corner next to the kitchen at a two person high table for three people."
  • "The loud rude lady manager not so much. When she was asked a question about the roasted Ceasar Salad she loudly expressed that that was the proper way to serve the salad."

Dog-Friendly

  • "I heard they supposedly bring treats for the dogs when the food arrives, though that didn't happen."
  • "The food I ordered was vegetarian but got ham omelette instead."
  • "Despite the name, this place clearly hates dogs."
  • "Only downside is only service animals are allowed inside and the uptown location does have a temperature controlled indoor space that our fur babies are allowed in."
  • "The restaurant has specific rules for its four-legged patrons - 'no dogs on laps, begging or barking.' However, these rules were not strictly followed."
  • "All the time pretexts to say something about the presence of my dog."
