I replied earlier in this thread that we don't take our dog to restaurants when we eat besides Edna's. One of the reasons I mentioned was that I know that some people frown upon that but the biggest reason is that my dog would not like it as she is a little skittish. Our last dog would have loved it but all dogs are different. I see no reason if a particular restaurant allows dogs on their patio not to take them up on the offer.
I don't believe anyone here is being forced to eat at restaurants that have a dog friendly policy on their patio. Most don't allow pets anywhere. If that is something that you can't tolerate, go somewhere else or eat inside. It's just that simple.
