A restaurant must have a permit from the local government to allow dogs in the designated outdoor seating area(s) before your pet dog is allowed at a restaurant. Contact your local government to find out if an ordinance has been enacted and if the restaurant has the required permit.

Pet dogs are still prohibited inside public food service establishments, including traveling through the establishment.
On the rare occassion I have seen a dog outside at a restaurant they have been more than well behaved and you wouldn't know they are there. Don't know if it was "legal" or not, but I for one don't care as long as they are well behaved and sitting quietly under the table.
