Hello.  In light of the recent tropical event, we would first like to express our concern and best-wishes for the well being of your establishment.  We hope that the rising waters have caused you little to no harm.  The sentiment is extended to each of your personal safety and dwellings as well.

We are a bit slow with our feedback regarding our experience at The Yellow Dog, but not for lack of gratitude.  Our evening on May 24, 2008 was one of the best restaurant experiences we have ever had.  Speaking with the rest of our family that attended, the feeling is unanimous.  While our wedding ceremony the following day was a grand event, without question, the most talked about event of the week was the night prior.  The staff was kind, courteous, and competent.  The quick thinking and improvised handling of the appetizers family style was brilliant.  Every thing from drinks through to desserts was delicious, and we sampled most of it.  A special thanks to our waiter Danny, who was exceptional.  We sincerely hope that the Yellow Dog is continuing to prosper and we would love to return for our anniversary.

Stuart and Nancy,

My husband and I were at the Yellow Dog Cafe' this past Saturday -- and absolutely loved it!

We hadn't been back in about a year, but it was really great!

Wendy still makes the best Martini's in the world!

Our waiter Danny was exceptional!  The food, service and atmosphere are still top-notch!!

Your outside desk was incredible.  That is clearly new and what a magnificent asset & addition.

Great job as always!

My family and I have drove past Yellow dog Cafe several times. I brought up in conversation at work about having past many times and I was told by a friend it's a must have (at least once). She informed me of the $$ and that night I decided to spring it on my husband to venture our way to the Yellow dog. We walk in and my husband seems to be liking it so far. We sat down open the menu and I thought right then he'd march my family right out the front door after seeing the prices. I knew this was a one time gig. I can honestly tell you that we (my husband, our son) are all ruined forever. The food was unbelievably great from start to finish. I know our waiter thought I was kidding but the Ice-tea was the best I've ever had. I can't rave enough about our meals. If we could afford to go every week without a doubt we would. I was put by the toilet and the swinging doors to the kitchen and it still was the most moving dinning experience of my life. My family won't shut up, we even saved our doggy bag. For what? Who knows, maybe just to say we've been there. I know my family will be back. My husband retired (AF) and we've already been on the phone to family not being able to boast enough. We have been all over and nothing compares. Hopefully we'll be able to bring more folks with us next time. What a treat!!!!

Thanks so much,
The Burns Family
(Vince, Gail and Mitchel)

Hello:

I am writing to you from San Francisco. Last Sunday my brother in Colorado arranged a special birthday party at your restaurant for my mother, my visiting daughter Noelle ( from Washington, DC ) and myself. The entire evening was just exceptional. It is not always easy to transact an event from a distance, your staff was very attentive to my brother's request. The dining experience was far beyond our expectations, from the minute we met your very courteous valet parking staff. The wine, cheese plate, salads, entrees, the presentation, the service --all were near perfect. And the orange juice birthday cake was like a miracle to us. The architecture of the restaurant, and your current additions, also contribute to making this a "must-see, must-experience" destination. Please accept my sincere thanks (especially to Meredith) for an evening we are unlikely to forget. Best of luck to you all for a prosperous New Year, and most of all, congratulations for creating this wonderful venue. If there were such a thing as a six star rating, I am sure you would have one.
