I've dined at the Yellow Dog many times; brunch, casual dinner, upstairs formal dinner, drinks, etc. I've been beyond impressed with their competency, friendliness, uniqueness and variety of food offerings, and dedication of staff. I've eaten a wide array of their offerings, from plates containing salmon, to pan-cooked chicken, to tiger shrimp with grits. Each visit, I am happy with my meal: reasonably priced, creative and unusual. The portions are neither too big, nor too meager. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Outgoing and warm, yet still professional. The ambiance is great at Yellow Dog. The upstairs lends itself to fine dining, the downstairs bar area is always warm and cozy. I really enjoy the diverse patrons as well. Young and old, gay and straight, upper-crust and just plain crusty...everyone gets along well and I've shared some great conversation with perfect strangers. I would recommend (and have) Yello Dog to neighbors, friends, and colleagues, and will continue to frequent!
