First attempt

Alright so we have to start somewhere! 😂😂😂 

I knew I needed to get this ball rolling. So my first inept attempt was at Tina's Place in Pinole.

Yes, I did research, and if they had a Dog friendly dining area. Well, not so much as we found out they no longer had outside dining and we were left wondering what to do. There was this tiny little bistro table outside the front of the building but nowhere did we see outside dining. We were informed they no longer had outside dining and well, I guess this place is a bust and not dog friendly. This will be an ongoing theme!

However, they decided to accommodate us on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. Ok, we'll take anything we can get! Dining with our dog was not our first rodeo you see. 

Anyway, we decided to soldier on, even though I was definitely ready to roll out of there with the winds and also being right on San Pablo Avenue with all the traffic noise and passers bye's. However, we stuck it out and made the best of it. Though I saw the same dude at least three times walk by.

So, we stuck it out and had our delicious meal. Keep in mind this was a Bistro table and barely could hold two coffees, but eventually our food arrived. Um, where do we put everything I wondered? We still made it work with all the traffic noise and passers bye's and our dog who drew multiple attention from random people walking by. Yes, welcome to my world. 😍

All that being said. The food at Tina's was excellent. Claudia had her usual Waffle and Chicken and well you guessed it my usual Omelet. We would visit Tina's again but have to do a date night as sitting on San Pablo Avenue at a Bistro table with our Tibetan Terrier in the wind is not so desirable.

So this is the first!
