I'm a dog owner but wouldn't bring an animal in to a place serving food that isn't a service animal.

My husband and I order the piccata and franchese almost every time because it reminds us of a place back in MI that we used to frequent before we moved down here for most of the year and it was our regular place. Service is great and we have been outed! They know our order I still have to try their desserts they look completely yummy. you will be disappointed if you go.
