[Baroness]

It could have been another dog, or other dogs, that ended up causing the problem and making the manager change their mind. It also could have been the health department getting a call, there are laws against bringing dogs (unless service dogs) into a restaurant or even outside for patio dining. Not everyone is a dog lover unfortunately. I'd talk to the manager and get the scoop, if it is a matter of health inspectors I wouldn't stop going there...the man has to make a living and rules are rules. If it is a matter of customers who are not dog lovers disapproving, I also wouldn't stop going there. If you like the food and the atmosphere continue to support the manager, after all it might be out of his hands. If it is just him changing his mind over something some patron who never comes back said...then I would say make the decision to not go back and explain to him why.
