Stopped in for an early dinner on a Saturday night. There was a bit of a wait but it was not more than 20 minutes. We were seated at a table in the middle of the restaurant which was not a great place but the place was busy so we were ok with that. Our waiter greeted us and started... More

Stopped by for lunch while visiting family in T.O. Wow, has the Oaks Mall changed! Anyway, Lazy Dog is an attractive corporate eatery and the service was great. The menu is large, but not too large to execute successfully. I had a pizza that I asked them to cook extra crispy and it came out perfect. No soggy crust at... More

My boyfriend and I tried this place for the first time when we were visiting his family in California. We now request to come here every single time! The atmosphere is great! Its very much typical big American bar/restaurant scene but still very inviting. When it comes to the food, we always take way too long to decide because there... More

My family and I decided on the Lazy Dog after reading the reviews here. Our initial impressions were quite good -the potato hush puppies were spicy and tasty, the various non-alcohol drinks with fresh-squeezed lemonade had just the right amount of tartness without being too sweet...thirst-quenching. My wife enjoyed her pomegranate mojito. Then the main courses arrived. I think my... More

I had a Bloody Mary last night and it was the best. I also had the ceviche with chips and a great salad. It is all very reasonable and a fun noisy place.

I went to Lazy Dog for dinner with a girlfriend. Food was good and they have a great beer selection. Try the beer sample if you like beer. You won't be sorry. The atmosphere is nice but it is a bit noisy.

An upscale atmosphere with good service and a great menu. We come here to enjoy happy hour at the bar, or a nice dinner. The menu selections have good variety and everything we've tried has been terrific (and the calamari here can't be beat!)
