Tips for eating out with a dog

• Call ahead. A dog policy can apply only to the bar area or to certain tables, and it can change.
• Bring a water bowl and a lead, and keep your dog close to your table.
• Choose a quieter time if your dog is nervous around crowds or noise.
• If you plan to reserve, mention the dog when you book so the venue can seat you sensibly.
