The Brown Dog Cafe

Many gluten free choices and the burger is delicious. JB had a personal pizza that was great.

We visited from out of town for the Red White and Blue Ash celebration (which was awesome!!) and stopped by the Brown Dog Cafe on our way out to the airport. Amazing food, excellent cocktails. The blackened chicken was amazing, lots of great gluten free options for my celiac husband. Our server Olivia was very attentive and great with our chatty toddler. The patio was shaded and overlooked the park. I wish we had something like this in Denver!

I was there with a party of 5 for my birthday. Every dish ordered left something to be desired from rbr entire group. Extremely disappointed. Ceasar salad was bland, grill mix (never asked by server how would like meat cooked and between the two orders the cooks were wildly different. Fat on duck was not rendered at all, beef (one overdone the other was rare), the crab cake was mushy and not at all impressive, shrimp and pasta was very heavy on the pasta with barely enough shrimp to qualify it in the title as a shrimp dish, and he diver scallops were entirely over seared... The risotto was, well, horrible. The menu seemed as if it would be amazing, but again, not a single dish was worth the effort and the pricing was entirely overpriced for the quality we received. As a matter of fact, I was going to bring my sick husband home a dinner and opted to order from elsewhere to pick up on the way home. I'll that my mother was one of the guests, she is a Celiac and it's critical she eat a gluten-free diet. She ordered based on your menu and waitstaff recommendations. She's been sick since the visit having had a reaction to something she ate at the restaurant. This tells us your establishment is not diligent in offering GF options and not safe for those with an allergy to visit. Not a place I would ever recommend nor is it a place I see us revisiting.
