I've never had a bad experience at Dogwood. I've been twice for a full sit-down dinner and the quality of the food and service has been outstanding.
For me, the dining experience doesn't blow my mind in any one aspect, it simply does southern/american cuisine very well.
The happy hour food special they run during the week ($5 lamb burgers/$1 oysters) is out of this world. You can't find a better burger for $5, and even if I remove the price, it's still one of my favorite burgers at any price point. It's only available in the bar area, but it's a great way to have a mid-week meal paired with an excellent selection of drinks.
