Yellow Dog Lantern

Excellent food and service! The steak salad was more steak (perfectly done) than salad, and delicious with fresh greens and onion rings. The haddock was perfectly done, nicely blackened. Don't miss the garlic parmesan cauliflower- also nicely done with lots of butter and parm. We were so full we couldn't get dessert- next time.

I love the food, it is definitely 5 star. The service is always great. The only reason I give it 4 vs. 5 stars is the atmosphere. The restaurant itself sits down a few steps below street level and it is long and narrow. It is what it is, but it seems a bit strange. That said, I go back frequently.

Attentive service, excellent food. Large portion California shrimp and crab salad appetizer was tasty and plenty for two. Garlic toast accompanying was buttery but with a nice crunch. Jalapeno corn side was hot in Temp, mildly spicy and corn was not overdone. Filet was cooked perfectly to medium rare, with a nice sear and modestly seasoned. All this with a cold beer. Delicious!

I love this place to dine in. The food of course, as mentioned by most other reviews, is nothing short of the best in Oil City. The staff is very nice and will take time out of their day to recommend a meal they think you may like based on your preferences. However, the thing that really sets this restaurant apart from any other place is the atmosphere. When you walk through the doors of Yellow Dog, it feels as if you’re transported into a different part of the world. The dim but sufficient lighting sets the mood. The music adds a sense of familiarity, even if you’ve never been there before. I’m not sure what was better: the exquisite food or the rich atmosphere. Great experience overall!
