"I hadn't eaten here in years until tonight. I am in the process of training a service dog for my PTSD (do not recommend going that route if you can afford a pro, but that's how I'm having to do it), and a lot of restaurants do the bare minimum to tolerate him and me. Tonight, though, Anthony went out of his way to be super accommodating. Really made me feel like I belonged there as much as anyone else would, even bringing out a big bucket of water for my dog to drink from, and did not attempt to touch or distract the dog at all. There are not a lot of places that will offer me that kind of absolute acceptance, and I tend not to go out to eat as often as I would like as a result. But I didn't feel like I was being judged at all--I was just a customer having dinner with a friend, and I appreciate that so much."
