"Food was great! Service was great! Beautiful view! We were in town during the off season and were looking for places to go that were dog friendly. The hotel that we stayed at was dog friendly and gave us a welcome packet of dog friendly places in the area. I also looked on the ?Bring Fido? app, both places mentioned this restaurant so we decided to go. It was great! There was a dedicated food menu for dogs and the waitress immediately brought us water in a dog bowl when we arrived. It was also a great place for kids, with a kids menu and play area. All of the food was good and the view was beautiful on the water. Our server was really nice, attentive, made food and drink suggestions and overall just great. The reason this is a 3 star review instead of 5 was because when we were getting ready to leave the bartender was loudly talking about how horrible it was that there was a dog and asking the server if she asked if it was a service dog. For one- we never claimed she was a service dog! We would never expect to be seated inside with a dog in the first place. We fully expected to sit on a deck. When we first arrived we had walked up to the rooftop deck before realizing it wasn?t open yet. The only reason we were in the ?inside? area was because we were greeted and told to grab a seat. Also it was technically a deck! The floor was wood planks and also, there were sliding doors everywhere that made it appear they were usually open, making the deck area that we were on, an ?outside? area too. Because we were there before peak season it was a chilly day and the sliding doors were closed. We were the only ones in the table area, which was separate from the bar where the rest of the guests were. We were having a great time, I texted a few friends about coming back here when we were back in town. It wasn?t until we were getting our bill at the end when we overheard the bartender being just loud and rude. Her bar guests were seemingly disagreeing with her and she was grilling the server if she had asked if it was a service dog, which our server had responded with ?it?s illegal to ask if a dog is a service dog?. Once again- it was never our intention to ?break? the rules or upset anyone. We would have been fine sitting somewhere else but because of the nature of the building and the way they were wonderfully catering to dogs we thought it was ok. It was a shame the bartender soured the whole experience right at the end. With that being said- we would still probably come back when in town in the future. Side note- all 3 of us are bartenders and have worked in the hospitality industry for 10+ years. Hence why we were vacationing on a Tuesday in the off season."
