I work in the Financial District and I won't lie, I go out after work ... a lot! Mad Dog has a really great, fun staff and it's the best place to hang out with coworkers on that odd weekday... if you leave after two drinks. On more than one occasion I've been smacked with a $200 bill for what amounted to very little. I've known coworkers that have spent even more! While the margharita's are tasty, at that price I'd like to see a little more alcohol please. The food is yummy, I especially like the guacomole but when you're already drinking two pitchers and ordering dinner, do you really think it's good form to charge $5 for an extra serving of nachos for the guac? On another occasion I had the Nacho appetizer mentioned and I too was astounded at what was served (considering the price) -- figure this, I can tell you that I had exactly 6 nachos and the person that I was sharing with had 4. I concur that the burritos, though traditionalist (containing more rice and beans than meat) are a bit steep too. All in all, a lovely place but I think the prices bring this restuarant into the average to below average range .. well at least for me!
Pros: Atmosphere, waitstaff friendliness, outdoor space
Cons: prices, relative inexperience of waitstaff, hot inside (little to no AC)
