My friends in San Diego talk about a culinary center that allows patio dining and your dog can come. Pretty common in Europe but what about Sonoma County? Share your pet-friendly eateries!

Well, I have to admit that my dogs and I are not high-class diners We enjoy eating at the outdoor tables at Porter Street BBQ and In-and-Out Burger in Rohnert Park. Yes, I do share with my dogs, but they are only given tidbits when they are being polite. I don't go there often, but I must say that the few times I have dined at the outdoor tables at Panda Express in Rohnert Park with my dogs, employees there have come out and offered me a bowl of water for my dogs. How thoughtful!

Even though it's not technically Sonoma County. Downtown Joe'sbrewery and restaurant in Napa is a dog friendly restaurant. It's been a while since I was there, but they even have a dog beer (which of course isn't really beer).

People have been known to bring their dogs to Flavor restaurant (downtown Santa Rosa) on Sunday mornings.

I also had a really nice experience Sunday at the Coffee Cats in Sebastopol. You can sit outside at the tables and they are more than welcoming.

Woo-hoo. Just found Willi's Seafood and Raw in Healdsburg as a super pet friendly place.
