Breweries, caf\u00e9s and the rest
Beyond restaurants proper, two categories deserve their own mention. Caf\u00e9s with sidewalk seating are the lowest-friction dog outing there is: coffee for you, a puppuccino-scale fuss for the dog, nobody in a hurry. Breweries with beer gardens run a close second -- big open spaces, relaxed pacing, and staff who have seen every breed. Both tend to be more dog-tolerant than their official policies suggest, which is why the call-ahead habit from the list above pays off.
Reading a patio
Dog-friendly dining is really patio dining, and patios are seasonal. Shoulder seasons win: open tables, cool pavement, relaxed dogs. Summer midday is the danger zone -- book breakfast or late dinner when the sun drops.
The welcoming signs: a water bowl appears without asking, there is shade on some tables, and tables sit far enough apart that a leashed dog is not blocking the servers. The tolerant-but-not-thrilled signs: tight tables, no shade, staff who look surprised. One visit tells you which kind you have found.
