"Dog-tolerant"

This restaurant allows dogs, but is not "dog-friendly". I went with 3 other adults after a hike on South Mountain trails. We had our 2 dogs with us and when we put our name on the list, were told it would be ~1.5 hr wait. As the crowd dwindled, and about 1.75 hr had gone by, we realized we had been selectively skipped on the guest list. We learned that there was limited seating (3 tables) that were "for parties with dogs". We eventually spoke with a manager as the restaurant has ample outdoor seating (with numerous other open tables at that time) and we were seated fairly quickly. She did provide service recovery, but it was really hard to get past the initial disrespect we experienced. No water was provided other than out of our own cups for the pups either. I don't intend to return to this establishment and won't be recommending it to my friends. My expectations would have been better aligned with the experience if I had not been expecting a "dog-friendly" brunch.
