Dolphin Family Restaurant

First let me say, I frequent this place for takeout. I’m actually a LONG time customer. I had my first bad experience today. I’ve never had an issue bringing my dog to a restaurant that has outdoor seating. I guess there’s a first time for everything… We informed the hostess multiple times that we would like to sit outside and that we had our dog. They must have REALLY not wanted to go outside (it was a unseasonably chilly day) because they repeatedly tried to discourage us from sitting outside. After giving us every excuse in the book why we couldn’t sit outside although the sign clearly stated the patio was open, they took us out only to ask about our dog and tell us that he wasn’t allowed unless he was a service animal. At that point, we were done. Not sure that I’ll ever be a patron again.
