2 of 3 did not like the flank steak special tuff. everything else was excellent.
Everything is always great. yaya, our server, was very attentive and friendly. the menu has a good selection as well as the wine list. the cal salad is delicious! good atmosphere and a good hour.
Our server was terrible. She asked the same questions multiple times, forgot to place an entrée order and an appetizer. Forgot drink orders, and side requests. Note: it was not a busy day at all. I ordered linguini and clams and got spaghettinoodles. Tasted good but still. Long wait times, granted there were 5 of us. Overall, it was not a good experience. Maybetry it again but who knows.
Amazing food and service. My husband and I got a flat tire in the hotel parking lot right before our first date since having a baby several months ago. We started our meal in such bad spirits and left feeling wonderful because of the food and lovely staffand ownership at Dodie?s. Highly recommend!
