The Dog Bar

The food is excellent and so is the service. Such a quaint restaurant full of history. Our steaks were amazing. The seafood chowder was one of the best I've had. Also, the menu is reasonably priced and you get bread, muffins, soup & salad included with your dinner which is a rarity nowadays. Definitely recommend you try The Dog Bar Restaurant!!

This place is amazing, don't let the name deter you away. I came here on a date night and thought the dog bar? I am a vegetarian and ordered the french onion soup and the vegetarian pasta with butter sauce. It was the best meal I have ever had. My date had the french onion soup and a filet mignon. He also said it was the best he has ever had. We will definitely be coming here again!

MIXED FEELINGS.....Upon walking in, I immediately loved this restaurant. You could feel the history of the building and enjoy checking out all the memorabilia on the walls. We wanted this to be our next favorite restaurant! Based on portion size and our appetite, we decided to order from the "Not So Much" entrees. The NY steak was delicious and perfectly prepared, but we were underwhelmed by the rest of the meal. The salad was just average, tin foil wrapped baked potato and the home-made roll basket contained two biscuits and two fairly dry butterscotch muffins. Over all, we were disappointed.

I went here for the first time and was blown away by the experience. This is an old school, quaint fine dining restaurant that is tucked away in the foothills of West Falls, NY. Had a great steak, the sides were awesome, and the server was excellent. Highly recommend a trip out there.

It's been a while since I had the chance to leave a review. We went to The Dog Bar for the first time last night to celebrate mom's birthday. And I'm sorry we didn't find this place sooner. Atmosphere: The decor is eclectic. It's an old-school steakhouse vibe. No hats allowed. The candle holders on the tables were super cute. It's a little dim but not so dim you couldn't read the menu. Service: Was super impressive. It was a full house, and not once did we have to ask for a drink refill. Our server, Annie, and the other girl running were on top of it. Super friendly but not intrusive. She didn't rush us, and she made recommendations for my mom. Best service I've seen in a long time. Food: Holy moly, if you like steak or lobster, don't sleep on this place. The prices are more than fair for what you get. Dustin got the 24oz porter house. It was $40. You get a soup (or fruit cup), iceberg lettuce salad, bread basket, choice of rice or potato, veggie of the day, and a cup or tea or coffee all included. (Where the hell do you get a steakhouse deal like that these days?) All dinners come with those included. Mom got a surf and turf, as did my sister and I. Casey and Dad both got the NY strip. All across the board, perfect steak temp with juicy delicious flavor, and that lobster was a sweet, succulent dream. And Anime (age 8) wasn't left out. She got chicken fingers a fries. Sizable portion, quality taste (no banquet chicken here) Everyone was ready to go into a food coma after the round of creme brule, chocolate cake and peanut butter pie. (All awesome) Was it expensive? Yes. It's a steakhouse. And compared to other a la carte places, this is a spectacular find. Was it a long dinner? Yes. Everything is made to order, from scratch, and it's more than worth the wait. Enjoy some quality time with whomever you go with, munch on that bread basket and don't worry about it. Was it worth it? One hundred percent. This is now our go-to celebration spot. I totally recommend it. Reservations are easy to make and definitely needed. It was totally worth the drive up from Ellicottville. (I'd travel farther to eat here) Thank you to The Dog Bar team for the excellent evening out.

Took wifey here for date night. Atmosphere: Rustic and historic. There's quite a bit of history behind the building, and they display a lot of it around the establishment. Very cool...IMO. Service: attentive and friendly. Everyone was accommodating and very polite. Food: Great. I had the Australian lobster tail and the Ribeye. My wife had the scallops and shrimp. Everything was well done and flavorful. The lobster tail was sweet, steak was very tender, and her scallops were flavorful and cooked wonderfully. Plus, you get a soup and salad with your entrée. The salad was unimpressive, but the soups we had(vegetable beef and chowder) were likewise, great. I wouldn't give them less of a rating for the salad, though. Definitely try it out if you're in the area! You'll need to make reservations.

Delicious, huge rib eye steak melts in your mouth. Cooked perfect, medium rare. Very attentive service.
