Top Dog-Friendly Restaurants
These restaurants definitely worth a visit when you're in the area

Having just returned from a trip visiting 30 states and two Canadian provinces we had the opportunity to sample a large array of outdoor restaurants with our dog. While many cities had a number of options we found that a number of top restaurants stand out. Here are some restaurants that are definitely top of the line for people traveling with dogs.

- Sam Snead's Downtown Restaurant  (Orlando, FL) - This is the restaurant at which former Florida Governor Jeb Bush signed Florida's doggy dining law two years ago. The patio overlooks Lake Eola and the fountain in its center. They welcome your dog with water and a special doggy menu served on a frisbee and top of the line food and service for the people in your party as well.

- Jordon Pond House Restaurant  (Acadia National Park, ME) - Located in the center of dog-friendly Acadia National Park this top of the line restaurant serves you and your dog at its spacious outdoor tables. The tables sit on a large grass field overlooking Jordon Pond and the Mountains of Acadia. Water is provided for your dog and there are numerous hiking trails nearby for you and your leashed dog. There is an off-leash area nearby as well. Parking can be a problem during busy seasons.

- Portabella  (Carmel, CA) - Located in one of the most dog-friendly cities in America this restaurant will provide water for your pup on either their open patio in the front or their covered and heated patio that is great for  inclement weather.  The restaurant serves top of the line food from France, Italy and Spain. The dog-friendly Carmel City Beach is located blocks away.

- The Park Bench Cafe  (Huntington Beach, CA) - This dog-friendly breakfast and lunch spot is located in Huntington Beach's Central Park. With many outdoor tables and a doggy menu to choose from this restaurant is a great place to stop for breakfast after a walk in the park. Huntington Beach Dog Beach and an off-leash park are nearby.

- Mi Cocina  (Dallas, TX) - Part of a regional chain of Mexican restaurants this dog-friendly restaurant has a well-enclosed and heated outdoor area for you and your dog to stay warm and dry. This restaurant is located in the Uptown area of Dallas.

- The Boathouse  (St Louis, MO) - This restaurant is located in Forest Park and sits alongside the pond where you can rent paddleboats or rowboats. It has a covered outdoor seating area with heaters and has outdoor entertainment on occasion. Your dog can stay busy on the deck watching the ducks waddle around. The boathouse has an annual dog event in the summer.
