About Us

The most precious things in life, are so, because they have an ending. 2 Dog’s existence has been an extraordinary mixture of community, hard work, perseverance, a little luck and a good sense of humor. We hope you can join us in celebrating our final holiday season here at 2 Dog. After 27 years, Tim and I are retiring from the restaurant business. The gratitude we feel is indescribable. Our patrons, staff and family have all built this amazing place in time that held all of us together for almost three decades. If you have been a supporter of 2 Dog, then you have been a part of something pretty special in your hometown. We are delightfully astounded to be able to make this choice in life while we are in good health and position to do so. It is almost inconceivable in our line of work. What a beautiful gift you have given us. As of December 23rd, our job here is done. We know you will support the new venture in this little house on Spring Street. New owners will have their own menu to offer. Please welcome Paresh and Dharma Patel. You may know them as owners of Sweet Magnolia and The Collegiate. They are wonderful members of our community who care about its residents. We are so excited that they have chosen to expand their talents to this side of the street. As we all say goodbye to 2 Dog as we know it, we can look forward to an exciting future. Life moves forward and personally, I can’t wait to see what the Patels will do within these walls. For all of you who have championed us through the hard times and the harder times and finally in the good times, we invite you to join us for a celebration of what we built together. This is for you! If you are not a regular, please know that the next three months will be crowded with long waits, the chatter will be loud, the tears will be plentiful as our huge 2 Dog family makes their way back to say goodbye. This is for our 2 Dog family. The ones who love us even when we aren’t at our best. No thank you to any judgement and kindly stick your review in your ear.
