The Blue Dog

Decent little restaurant at the Boca Town Center mall. Gets louder as the night goes on. But if you're looking for a decent happy hour with eateries type vibe, this suits it. Service was great, food was okay. Had a burrata dish with added chicken (without chicken, it would have been blah). My friend ordered calamari and a burger, which was mid... the drinks were better than the food but it wasn't by much. The waitress was very nice (Sienna).

My review is meant to be constructive, because I see potential. My friends and I went to their event with Cynthia. For an event like this, they should have removed tables to allow for room to dance . There’s only 1 bar and seats preventing us from ordering because people are sitting there and won’t move. Again, for an event you should remove the bar stools to allow room and ability to order a drink. A nice gentleman gave up his seat to let us order, we waited over an hour to get a drinks. There was maybe 5 bartenders but they were only serving the ends of the bar and completely ignored us. Several other customers told the bartenders we had been waiting and it fell on ear. When someone finally took our order which was simple, 4, glasses of wine. She only gave us 2 and walked off and didn’t look back. We waited another 10 mins to get the rest of our order. Totally unacceptable… the amount of revenue loss opportunities is astounding. We left after Cynthia’s set due to the poor service! We would have stayed otherwise.

“The evening was unforgettable. Pablo Gil, together with an ensemble of outstanding musicians, delivered a soulful jazz performance that left the audience enchanted. This is truly a show not to be missed.” These is a must go place!

I was attending the show of two tribute bands Fast Fashion(Depeche mode)and Burn(The Cure)on Friday night and had an amazing experience .Excellent performance!Service was not the greatest as it took the waiter more than half an hour to get me a drink not to mention the food.However,the place was packed so I think that might have been the reason for not getting the best service.

This is a great place for a nice dinner and some great drinks. Everything we tried was on point and very good. The setting is great and they even have a fire dancer which was pretty awesome. We got the Tuna Tartare and the bone marrow crab cake for an appetizer and the presentation blew my mind. They were also packed with flavor and I would definitely order again. We also tried some of the new sushi they launched a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it. We got the Salmon avocado bone marrow, crispy shrimp, and the lobster tempura rolls and they all had amazing flavor. I also typically don’t order shrimp but the crispy shrimp roll was great. I also tried the filet which I ordered Pittsburgh style and the chef nailed it. The temperature and crust was perfect and you usually don’t get that at a lot of restaurants. For dessert we had the cream brûlée and the cafe con leche. Both were amazing but the cafe con leche is on another level. Overall I was very happy with this place and the service and I can honestly say I would come back. We just might have to check out their brunch next.

While waiting for Apple to finish fixing my phone, I stopped by Blue Dog—and I’m so glad I did. Jennifer at the bar was absolutely outstanding. She was not only professional and efficient, but incredibly personable and welcoming. Her attentiveness turned what could’ve been a boring wait into a genuinely enjoyable experience. Great service, good vibes, and a comfortable spot to unwind. Highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful experience at The Blue Dog! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the menu and the service. Everything came out perfectly timed, and the staff was attentive without being intrusive. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a casual meal or celebrate a special occasion. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend The Blue Dog to anyone looking for great food and great vibes!

Had dinner. Food presentation and taste was incredible. The specialty drink menu was amazing. The espresso martini was fabulous. Everything was on point with this place. Igor was a great server and Faith the manager was very attentive in ensuring everything was great as well. Five stars all around!
