    The food was great, the service was awesome. The only concern was the restaurant was very small but other than that I had a great time. I will definitely go back !!!

    We had a party of seven dine at Dogwood’s Kitchen and Bar, and the experience was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. Every dish we ordered was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly crafted with care. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between upscale and comfortable, making it ideal for a night out with friends or family. Dogwood’s delivered on every level—food, service, and ambiance. We’ll definitely be back!

    Great selection of food and unique flavors. Had the shrimp ceviche appetizer which was delicious and the zip sauce pasta with steak and chicken that was a well thought out dish.

    Great service and the dinner meals were delicious! We sat at a 6-person high top in the bar and iwe could carry on a conversation with no issues. Our server was super friendly and attentive. I’d highly recommend Dogwood’s to all!

    The food is wonderful. Highly recommend the Short Rib Poutine and Bang Bang Shrimp apps. We had the burgers and balsamic steak salad. Delicious. Our service was not good. Waited 45 min for the waiter to bring a glass of wine. He came and said it would be a bit longer because the bar was busy. The restaurant had empty tables so this was not the case. After dropping off our bill he again disappeared for 25 minutes. We will go back because the food is very good. Will probably avoid that server if possible

    We had reservations for Valentines dinner. We walked in and the music, the saxophone player was so incredibly loud. We couldn’t even hear each other, they put us by the Sax player- 7 feet away and the front door and it’s 12° out. We couldn’t hear each other talk. We couldn’t hear the waitress and they ruined our Valentines. So we left. The waitress was really nice though, she was very apologetic So happy Valentine’s Day

    Food was very good and the service was excellent for such a big group: everything we got was good but we love the ceviche, elote flatbread and chorizo flatbread. Definitely will be back soon
