Barking Dog
34th Near Lexington
Manhattan

Zagat: "Not arf bad" One the wall: "Dogs have all of man's virtures and none of his vices." "Sit, Stay."

Presentation: White crockery bowl on a white crockery plate
Temperature: Not hot enough
Service: Slow (is this why it was not hot?)
Sides: Soft brown sugar. Blueberries and strawberries good.
Texture: Creamy. One of us had a blue ball of oats in the bowl.

We have been here before, and we have enjoyed the oatmeal. This day it just wasn't up to par. We will be back.

Idea of the day: Slow service is very bad for oatmeal.
