Jewel there is usually a lot of room by my feet we get the corner so there is room for the dog, since there is no real waitress staff which is behind the tables.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!

  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!)
