⚠️ Important Notice – Please Read ⚠️

We have posted signs, made announcements, and have repeatedly reminded guests that dogs are not allowed inside the building. Despite these efforts, some individuals continue to ignore this policy, especially when management is not present.

Effective immediately, this policy will be strictly enforced by all staff.

This is not a suggestion, preference, or guideline—it is a rule. If you arrive with a dog, please keep it outside and do not bring it into the building. Repeatedly disregarding posted policies is unfair to our staff and other guests and puts our employees in the uncomfortable position of having to enforce rules that have already been clearly communicated.

We appreciate our customers, but we also expect our policies to be respected. Please do not assume an exception will be made because management is not on site or because it has been overlooked in the past.

Thank you to everyone who has respected this rule. Your cooperation helps us maintain a safe and welcoming environment for all.

Service animals as defined by law are exempt from this policy.
