How to eat out with your dog without incident

Call ahead. Policies live in the manager's head, not on the website. Thirty seconds on the phone saves the day.
Patio first. Even dog-welcome venues usually mean the patio. In many towns that is seasonal -- plan accordingly.
Tired dog, good dog. A walk before lunch turns a restless pup into a rug.
Bring water. Not every place has dog bowls; a collapsible one lives happily in any bag.
Keep them out of the aisle. Tuck the leash under your chair. Staff carrying hot plates will thank you.

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.
