I hate to do this especially with the fact that the Tavern has some of the best views of Boston you could wish for, and the food is pretty good too, but, on a recent visit for lunch i was sitting at a table and next to me in a booth was a lady with a dog sitting next to her. Now this wasn't a service dog, it was the small long haired "pocket book" size dog that some people insist on taking everywhere they go.
It was certainly obvious to me so i'm guessing it was certainly obvious to the server.
I like dogs, my family has dogs, i had a dog for a while until i discovered i have an allergy to both pet dander and the saliva so double whammy for me.
Being allergic to dogs makes this a little uncomfortable for me, sure i could have asked to move, but any restaurant that allow's animals in the dining room that is not a service dog is no longer worthy of my patronage.
