Water Dog Atlantic City

I'll make this short ,, even tho this restaurant needs to hear its criticism. It seems half the restaurant employees are ALL-IN to make it an enjoyable experience while the other half in my opinion are there to fake it to make it!! The gentleman at the front door Brian was so polite , my wife and i could tell he was balancing customers and trying to turn over tables in between reservations and handled everything thrown his way.. Bryan braught our kids crayins and coloring pads which kept the kids busy while food was being prepared! Our server i think his name was Lezly or Leslie but he was on top of everything and brought our food and appetizers out in a timely manner. It just seemed like the food turnover people were slow to bring out the main courses and the table cleaners were a bit behind. All in all my wife and i were pleased and absolutely enjoyed the food.. . X's 5......

The guy who took my order was very nice and respectful. I ordered takeout on the weekend. It took about 50 minutes or more to get my order. The beef Brisket and pastrami were delicious but they were missing some flavor. The onion ring was pretty good. The Lobster Roll was alright. The avocado toast with Smoked Salmon was pretty good. The raw salmon from the poke bowl was disgusting. It had a funny taste. I don't know if it's the dressing or the salmon wasn't fresh. I do not recommend ordering raw salmon for the topping. The grilled salmon was overcooked, however, it wasn't as bad as the raw one. The poke bowl overall was disappointing. The avocado in it came with a hair! Very disgusting. Stay away from poke bowls.

No complaints here! Had a great steak and eggs breakfast today at Water Dog. Steak was cooked perfectly, as were the eggs and potatoes. For $20 the pricing was reasonable too (for Atlantic City). Service was also good and timely. Lunch menu looks a little limited but I will definitely be back for breakfast again next time I am in AC.

When we arrived the not so peppy/friendly young lady at the front acted like she had to ‘fit us in' and go search for a table, even though we had a reservation the restaurant was majority empty. I took my mom here for her birthday dinner. We shared the bacon wrapped shrimp, which was delicious came in an apricot like sauce. The perfect mix of salty and sweet! My mom raved over the salmon and mashed potatoes! I ordered a lobster roll (my reason for choosing Water Dog) the lobster itself was succulent and buttery, but apparently it sat a while before the server bought it out, so the bun was super soggy when it arrived. I couldn't even pick it up, as it was falling apart. Our waitress, who was fantastic (super pleasant and attentive) bought me a new roll, but it wasn't toasted, so I didn't get the lobster roll dinner experience I was looking forward to. Ambiance was nice. Quiet. I would recommend and hope to return.

Frankly, this was not a good dining experience. I had the pastrami sandwich fries, the wife had a brisket sandwich with onion rings. Both had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. My pastrami was lifeless dry, pretty sure the brisket had been made in a crock-pot, it looked tasted more like pot roast. Fries onion rings were lower tier Sysco quality. I received a different beer than I had ordered, but I just went with it, small issue. Our waiter was fine, but there was a good bit of staff drama with various employees having conflicts, one even sprinting though the dining area several times. This was at 3:00 in the afternoon, the restaurant was not busy. I did not come to Water Dog for a fine dining experience, but for a $100 lunch, I hoped for a much better meal.
