A restaurant here in Massachusetts decided to turn away a group of diners because some of them had service dogs. At a restaurant called Bamboo in Dedham, staff decided that a group that included several people with service dogs could be refused service. The police were called in, and unfortunately, the police sided with the restaurant. How this is remotely compliant with the ADA is beyond me, but these days, businesses seem to be getting the benefit of the doubt when it comes to a lot of things. It will be interesting to see where something like this will go in the courts.
At any rate, this little local chain, like Upper Crust, will be one that Kelly and I avoid and encourage others to avoid.
