Mummy was going to dinner with her New York friend, Adelina. The plan was to leave us pooches behind when she thought – she’ll just ask. It was after all a grown-up, white tablecloth type of place.
And much to her surprise, they did not say no immediately but had a little conference.
Assunta Madre is an Italian restaurant in Mayfair. 
A serious eating place, we were told. The person on the phone asked about my size. Cocker spaniel size they were told.
They asked if I am a noisy dog. Noisy? Mummy chuckled, of course not!
We had the green light and because this was so unexpected, Mummy decided it was best if it was just me. 
George went to play with Charlie and stayed with Praewa. Sorry, George. You may be dinky but I have more experience about restaurant etiquette.
That said, something made me bark – once! soon after we were seated. 🙂
The place was lovely and I stayed in my usual place … but it’s a seafood restaurant so the hand me downs – not so exciting. 
May’s comment: Italian restaurant once again – makes me think they are definitely more attuned to being dog friendly! The staff was helpful. They had a table for two close to other tables. When they saw I was a little uncertain, asked if I would prefer a table in the corner. And we sat at a table for four.
They brought Darcy a bowl of water and even though she barked once – they were chilled.
Assunta Madre – 9-10 Blenheim Street, Mayfair, London. Must let them know if your dog is going.
