    Always such a great time here. The service was spectacular. Carl, the bar tender, was amazing as usual. He always provides such great customer care - attentive, friendly, and kind. Thanks to Carl, my significant other and I make the Dirty Dog our go to spot to celebrate life's special events. Great music, great food, and great service.

    I made reservations for birthday dinner and night out. The DDJC was FABULOUS, we are not really jazz fans, but the live band was terrific, the service, food and specialty cocktails were wonderful. Small, intimate, dark and moody, was really a great time. Highly recommend

    We were greeted by the waitress with a smile. The jazz ensemble was energetic and fun as well as creative in their delivery. However, the food was less than appetizing, especially for the price, considering the portions were small.

    Service was excellent. The food was not. My salmon was very very overdone. The music was lovely but was way too loud. Ambience otherwise was cozy, clean and charming. Parking was convenient.
