Bring your dog to a restaurant?

In Europe, people frequently bring their dogs along when they go out to eat. There is a pending bill to allow your dog to come with you to a restaurant - but with several caveats. Restaurants would not be required to allow dogs, and they would only be allowed in designated outside areas that are accessible directly from the outside - not through the restaurant. In recent years several dog parks have been built in the city, which are very popular, and we do have a few beaches where dogs are allowed.
