Little Black Dog Culinary Market and Catering — Restaurant in Saugeen Shores

I like shepherds pie. Actually, I love shepherds pie. Shepherds pie is, in fact, my favorite food. Well... It WAS my favorite food. Until my wife brought home a take-out family platter of Cottage Pie I think it was called? Suffice it to say, cottage pie from little black dog is now officially my favorite pan-based food. Possibly my all time favorite food, but I'm not certain.

I also hope this isn’t mistaken for a negative review and instead just suggesting room for...

My husband and I decided to pick up dinner for our Friday night.

This is a catering company, so the food all comes pre-prepared and packaged. The chicken was cooked well, the meatballs were good, but “seasonal vegetables” should never mean freezer veggies. Our entrees were 18 dollars apiece, and we just thought that for that price tag, we probably would have preferred dinner elsewhere.

BUT the saving grace was the amazing balsamic, truffle, mushroom pasta salad (which I LOVED), and the INCREDIBLE peanut butter cookie and chocolate cupcake. And in the end, we did get a LOT of food for the ~60 dollars we spent.

Overall a fun dining experience, but we were underwhelmed by...
