The Dining Dog Cafe

Grroming was terrible on my two shelties. She left a bunch of soap in their fur and then they had mats. She refuses to refund our money.

Very unsatisfactory. I did not like the grooming place and my dog had a bad experience. The owner clipped my dog’s nail, and my dog bleed until the next day.

I decided to take Simon and Mojo to The Dining Dog because it was Simon’s belated birthday. Dorothy was catering that day but she took time out of her busy schedule to prepare a meal for Simon and Mojo.
Since Simon’s belated birthday we returned to The Dining Dog for Valentines Day, Mojo’s birthday, St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. Simon and Mojo go wild when they see the plates, all the dogs I’ve seen at the restaurant love the food. Dorothy goes around the restaurant interacting with all the dogs; it’s obvious that she does what she does because she loves it and not because it’s the «in» thing. She really cares about her customers.
The Dining Dog is a great place for dogs to meet other dogs.
There are no complaints everything about this place is perfect.

JiJi and I have been going here for the past 2 years to celebrate both our birthdays together. We’re from Shelton, and we don’t mind the drive. In fact, we now have made this a tradition to go there and celebrate US! The drive is so worth it! :) Dorothy is AWESOME and a WONDERFUL host! I love how she decorated the diner – really cute!!! She’s great with all the dogs (and humans too). And, her food I’m assuming is just delish! JiJi is a very picky shih tzu/​chihuahua when it comes to food, and she just devours every bite! And, JiJi also loves the tini that Dorothy makes for her! Yum, yum! Thank you!!!

I can’t say enough good stuff about Dorothy and the dining dog café! We went today for my dogs birthday and had a great time! Dorothy the owner is so friendly and accommodating! The concept is awesome! Yolo had a 4 course meal was treated like a little prince! We will certainly be back!

Dorothy is great and so nice. Her treats are adorable and cost effective. Her «dog» café is such a unique and amazing idea! I don’t think there is a place around like it. Dorothy really cares about her clients and their satisfaction, 2-​legged and 4-​legged clients. Thank you!

If you have a dog, you need to take her/​him to the Dining Dog. Dorothy is wonderful! You dog will get the full dining experience. It’s so much fun for the doggies! I just love this place!

We celebrated Little Jimmy’s 6^th Birthday at the Dining Dog and had THE BEST TIME! Dorothy is fabulous and so wonderful with our two little shih tzu and giant lab mix. He is 120 lbs and the Dining Dog accommodates all sizes! The dogs all LOVED their 4 courses, even our little princess who is not treat-​motivated. She loved every bite! It was totally worth the drive up from Olympia — and we can’t wait to do it again! Thank you, Dorothy, for making the kids feel so special! See you soon!

I visited the dining dog when I was visiting from CA. I joined my sister and her dog and wished my own dog was able to come because the Dining Dog is the coolest place I have ever seen for dogs. Dorothy cares so much for these 4 legged patrons and pulls out the stops for their dining experience. I know that if my dog could have come, she would have been on cloud nine. If you have a dog, take him/​her to the dining dog and let them indulge. You will have just as much fun watching your pooch enjoy the meal as he/​she is having eating it.

Brilliant!!! Came here with a friend’s puppy once, great experience for all of us!

This is an awesome restaurant for your fur-​babies! They owner is very nice and friendly. I went here for my sister’s dog party and all the dogs that went seem to have a blast. They serve a 3 meal course, and it comes out looking very beautiful. The owner and the other waitress did a great job of going out of her way to help make the fur-​babies comfortable. They even remembered all the names of the dogs that came out to the party. Over all a fun experience for the fur-​babies. I would definitely have my dog’s party here! They also host a few different events for dogs. Cant wait to have my fur-​babies attend one of their events!

Went to a birthday partyu there with my Shelties — thought it would going to be goofy silly, but it was a great time. The owner is such a happy person, and loves the dogs — everything about the place was for the dogs.
Don’t panic if your dog jumps on the tables, they are allowed to, and I *do not know* how they know that! My dogs have tons of obedience in their history, do not even beg when we have company over for dinner, and my dog jumped up on a chair, waited a moment, then next thing you know had climbed up onto the table, lol and there was not even food there!
It was so nice, they had a low piece of furninture for my old dog to be fed at because she could not sit in a chait at the table, and a waitress fed her because I was busy breaking up dinner for my cleft palate dog who has to eat carefully. He thought he had died and gone to doggy heaven, he never gets cool stuff, but darn it, I was going to let him enjoy this birthday party :) Yeah, he snorked and snuffled a little, but I get the feeling he thought it was worth it :)
So for a more serious dog person to end up being enthralled, it was pretty neat experience :) 8 people and 11 dogs laughing it up and having «cocktails» (dogs two choices, humans got sparkling apple juice I think it was).
Cool little dog supply store next door too, awesome supply of interactive dog games among other things…

This is a really fun occasional thing to do with your dog. Dorothy is great she is super friendly and high energy and a whole doggie 4 course meal is only $ 10. You can order food from restaurants nearby such as Venice Pizza which i think is not bad! Great idea for your dogs birthday!

This is really an amazing place! It is truly my favorite place to go. The owner Dorothy is great. All the dogs love her and she goes out of her way to make your experience wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about The Dining Dog.

Such a fun and novel idea. This doggie café is proof that Firdale Village has gone to the dogs, but in a good way! The pups get treated to a four-​course meal and doggie cocktails. The atmosphere is pleasing, and although the dog’s people aren’t served, there are plenty of options for take-​out food.

This is not your traditional restaurant. It caters to our best friends — dogs. The owner, Dorothy Moore, provides first class service to our loved ones while they enjoy doggie cocktails, like the barkarita, appetizers, entrée and dessert — all served on gold chargers! With chandeliers on the ceiling, white table cloths, you and your dog are seated together for a true dining experience. While USPH restrictions prohibit Dorothy from human food preparation, she has menus to several restaurants in the complex & she will place your order & even pick it up for you while you and your pet enjoy this delightful bonding experience.
My dog Peanut gets so excited when we pull into the parking lot he is ready to jump out of the car before I can park it. He loves visiting «Auntie Dorothy». Special events are a real treat. Some of the events that The Dining Dog has hosted include a Valentine’s Day party complete with a professional Elvis impersonator seranading the dogs, a Doggie Cocktail Party to kick off the Summer, Mother’s Day Brunch, and so many more. Many events are connected with proceeds going to support no-​kill shelters, and other canine organizations.
A groomer by trade, Dorothy has the biggest heart for our beloved babies. She is the first groomer that my Peanut doesn’t fear.
If you visit the Seattle area, call the Dining Dog for your reservation for a special outing with your best friend. Details can be found on the website:

Bored with dog parks and doggie meet ups? Feel like some special time with your special four legged friend? Hey, what could be cuter than a doggy café. Not only that, the dogs will absolutely love it. You just know that they aren’t advertising properly because this place should be packed. It is canine heaven and that family member who can’t really sit at the table and really isn’t suppose to beg is really getting their moment. Lots of people who love their dogs go there but because it is so cute, there should be lots more.
This is fun, very much silly and just something you and your favorite companion animal should rush out and do.
The décor is really quite nice-​french bistro, tablecloths, etc. Just grab Fido and go.
Didn’t Shakespeare say every dog would have his day? This is it!

I went there for my dogs Birthday and Dorthy the owner treated us like Royalty! She loves animals! You can tell she is doing this out of the kindness of her heart. We will go back again just as soon as we can!
The price was low and the place was divine! There were other people there who seemed to be repeat customers. Everything is served on beautiful plates.
It feels great to take time and make your pets feel special!
Thank you Dorthy.

The Dining Dog Café and Bakery is not a place where one goes to eat (or bake) dogs, fortunately. It’s a restaurant FOR dogs, run BY dogs. Even the waiters are dogs and they bring you the food by pulling a little cart out to your table.
Okay, that part isn’t true. But it would be a classic idea, so hey, Dining Dog people — make that happen. Anyway, the place is set up like a quaint little French bistro of some sort. They’ve got linen table cloths, nice place settings and very cozy décor. It’s very sweet, and believe me, that’s tough for me to say. They have leash tie-​ups at each table so you can keep your dog still if they’re a little excited. And if they’re anything like my dog when he gets around other dogs and/​or delicious treats, they will be.
The waitress, who also happens to be the owner, will bring all the dogs at the table water and then start bringing out the appetizers. We had the «cheesy hot dogs», and I’m guessing by Elvis’s reaction that they were pretty tasty. Not that I’d know. Okay, fine, I ate one.
At some point, you just choose a meal off the menu and order. It’s a bit hard to keep a straight face through this process, especially when the waitress asks «What will Elvis be having tonight». *eyeroll* Well, generally he eats anything I drop on the floor, so what do you got? Elvis did end up having the chicken pot pie, and he seemed sated.
The food is all dog-​friendly and healthy — lots of veggies and pretty easy on their stomachs. It’s shockingly cheap, too. Elvis had an app, his entrée and desert, and it cost me a whopping $ 10. They have a little dog bakery in the café as well, and she’ll bring around the desert tray at the end so you can order some dog pastries. It’s the same kind of thing they’ve got downtown at the dog bakery near the market, but I actually thought these were a little higher quality.
So if you’re looking to do something nice for your dog on his or her birthday, I recommend you take a trip north to Edmonds. It’s a little out of the way, but I assure you that you’re dog will be ecstatic. Keep in mind that it’s only open from 3pm-​7pm, Tuesday through Saturday. We had a group of about six dogs, so we called ahead for a reservation.
Oh, they don’t serve food for people there, but you can get human food at the restaurant next door and bring it in. Something about health code violations keeps them from preparing dog food and people food together. Blasted health department… always ruining my good times.
