    We went to Bar Dough after a long time away. Dinner with friends night. The pasta and wine and salads were exceptional. Generous and delicious servings -- all was shareable. The GF options were well prepared! Oh yes, and the garlic toast was to die for. Thanks so much.

    Bar Dough is a neighborhood gem, with a great patio and good-vibe indoor space. Service is prompt and casual in a good way. The half chicken with lemon and arugula at $35 is a great value, absolutely delicious, and easy to eat. Very nice wine list.
