Beautiful Views / Just okay food
PinchersWe have been frequenting Pinchers for many years now. Pinchers is in the Wyndham Hotel right on the beach. The views are beautiful overlooking the beach especially at sunset. There is a large bar and plenty of seating both covered & uncovered where dogs are allowed.. For the tables in the uncovered area there are umbrellas for escape from the hot sun. There are heaters provided when the cooler weather is here. The food here is just okay. They are very dog friendly however. Pinchers has musicians that come in to perform at certain times and unfortunately they can be very loud when they play. My dog who is the calmest most laid back dog I have ever seen seemed a bit uncomfortable with it being so loud. She was very relieved when it was time to go. So if your dog is the nervous type & not a fan of a lot of noise & activity I may suggest to avoid going here. Many times people are dancing along with the bands so it can get a bit loud & active. Around dinner time just before sunset this place gets pretty crowded & it can be tough to find a table especially one not so close to the band that may be playing. Make sure you get there early if you want to find good seating.

Nice Place!
Skye's RestaurantWe have been going to Skye's restaurant for years now. They are very dog friendly. Although Skye's is said to be a Mexican restaurant we find they also have a nice variety of foods for those who are not a fan of Mexican food. For those who do love Mexican food, you will not be disappointed. Their breakfasts are especially good. Their big Bloody Mary's are a real treat! The staff is very friendly and there is plenty of seating for dogs & their families outside. There are even larger tables for larger parties. There is always water out for thirsty dogs. The area is covered so no need to worry about the hot sun. They supply heaters for the cooler weather also. Skye's has a bar also & we find they make a good drink at reasonable prices. All around one of our favorite spots.

Wonderful Place & Super Dog friendly!
Nervous Nellie'sWe have been going to Nervous Nellies for years & absolutely LOVE the place! Beautiful waterfront views & great food. They have a menu like I have never seen before!!! It is so long that you will never be able to read the entire menu before you leave! They even have a dog menu! At times they have outdoor entertainment. I love that their entertainment is not so loud that you can't hear your own table conversations. It is just perfect background music. When we were there last they had someone going around the restaurant making balloon figures for children & adults at the tables. Everyone was enjoying that. Service has also always been very good. Lots of outdoor seating! They also have under cover seating (where the dogs are allowed to) for people who do not want to be near the sun. Their other tables closer to the water also have umbrellas that can be put up or down if needed. They even have heaters for those cooler days. Of course there is indoor seating for people who want to sit inside & who don't have dogs. I loved the fact that my dog could sit on the bench right next to us at the table. Lots of restaurants will only allow dogs if they sit on the ground under the table. These people are super dog friendly. Nervous Nellies is a wonderful place & I don't think you will be disappointed at all here! Always a wonderful experience! Can't wait to go back!

Love The First Watch Restaurants!
First WatchOur entire family have been fans of all of the First Watch restaurants for many years. They serve wonderful breakfasts & lunches. They have an excellent menu with some very tasty healthy choices also! They even have a cook book with their recipes that you can purchase. Their restaurants are always immaculate & service is always perfect. We just got our dog a few months ago and we decided to try out their Estero location because I saw on this site that they were dog friendly at this location. We arrived at the restaurant (this was the first time we had tried this particular location) and saw their outdoor seating. My first reaction was that it was small & I was hoping that there would be seating available. They have 4 tables in their outdoor section. 2 of the tables seat 2 people and the other 2 tables seat 4 people. Not a lot of space if you are coming with more guests but it was fine for my husband & I and our dog. They had a bowl with water readily available for thirsty dogs but I always bring our own bowl along anyway. There is a pergola type covering over the seating area so if it is really hot & sunny it may be a little bit of an issue for some. Even though the outdoor seating isn't perfect we still had a wonderful meal & had no issues with the sun on that particular day and because we love the food so much at this place & am rating it a 5. I am hoping that the other locations are also dog friendly. I will be looking into those also & will update reviews.
