Editorial Review for Dogwood Cafe – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Located just off the Arborway, a short walk from the Forest Hills T station, the Dogwood Cafe serves as a primary hangout for loads of Jamaica Plain residents. Live music is featured on the weekends, and the earthy-crunchy vibe is evident on the menu, where the specialty pizzas are named after the various trees that are found in the nearby Arnold Arboretum (birch, cypress, dogwood). Comfort fare like burgers and salads also top many tables.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThe restaurant also serves a wide variety of specialty martinis with names almost as much fun as the drinks themselves, such as the Lime Ricky or the Nutty Irish Pirate.
When to GoCome by Saturday and Sunday to try the brunch, ranging from build your own omelets and pancakes, steak tips and eggs to breakfast pizzas from 10am - 3pm.

Horrible. I have been a loyal customer of Dogwood for the past year. Evening beers with friends, Sunday brunches, last minute dinners. No more. The Dogwood has lost a loyal customer. When I was told I would be charged twice if I sent my breakfast scramble back I asked to speak to the manager. Never once was I rude or out of line, I was kind and kept a smile on my face the entire time. The manager was rude and condescending. I explained to her that, I eat here all the time, and I always order the same thing. I didn’t even look at the menu, so I didn’t remember cheese being an ingredient. I can’t eat cheese I explained to her. Too bad, pay for a second one without cheese or eat this one (which was undercooked) with cheese. I was shocked. The things that until now I have let slide: Slow service, dirty silverware, cleaner being sprayed close enough to taste it while I tried to eat, cold veggie burgers, no menu substitutions, and undercooked food. I am shocked at the disrespect. I will spend my money someplace where the service is good and the manger is respectful to me and my community.

Good food and pleasant atmosphere near Forest Hills. The only drawback is that the service, and to a lesser degree, the quality of the food can vary enormously from visit to visit.
Pros: food, location, bar
Cons: inconsistency
