[nagdu] places a guide dog can't go

Mon Nov 1 12:34:16 UTC 2010

What, dog or grilled seafood and steak?:) 
I've been to these kinds of places a lot. My dog was never an issue.
Just go and enjoy.

Yay!  Best of luck.

We've been talking about going to a hibachi grill here, and I never even
thought about the Mitzi issue...  Well, every hibachi grill I've ever
been
to has room between the chairs/stools and the base of the counter for
the
dog, so she should be fine...  Yum!  My favorite food.

Thank you for this information. It was really a curiousity question,
though I know a hibachi grill near me and friends who have a guide dog
currently (and I hope to soon! Application is in for GDF!)
