On the West Coast "dog friendly" restaurants are very much the trend. Still dogs are only allowed in the outside patio areas...there is a chain that usually has their places near or attached to large shopping malls, "Lazy Dogs" that is very popular. Usually a wait time at dinner time for outside seating. I would not be surprised that more and more places that can accommodate "patio dining" to see this as an opportunity to bring in new patrons who can bring their "well behaved and leashed" dogs to dinner!
