Well it did not start very well because the receptionist had no idea what a service dog was and because I had my service dog with me she asked me to leave the dog on the floor which a 5 lb dog was not going to be left on the floor for any reason then she said I can bring it outside and that wasn't going to happen either so as soon as she realized and talked to somebody that this was going to be acceptable to have my dog with me as a veteran I should have been treated a little bit better and a little bit kinder when it comes to having PTSD but that was not for her to ask even though she did anyway it upset my wife more than it did me but my family did get seated and we did enjoy a nice meal the service with subpar but we made the best of it we enjoy eating at Joe's Crab shack every year when we take our vacation down at the beach and this will not deter us from going there in the future
