Dinner at Pawtobello

The tribe had dinner at Pawtobello this evening. Have to admit it wasn't too bad. I like the idea of a pet restaurant. This is REALLY a pet restaurant where you and your dog can "partake" a meal together.

There are both human & dog menu and the choice is pretty good. From bruschetta to laksa to muttloaf for dogs. Price-wise, I really don't think it's too expensive. Price ranges from about $11 - $18 for main course. Dogs meal come in 2 portions - a large & a small one. Price is below $10 for a large portion. The drinks menu not too bad too - they don't serve soft drinks and BEER (!!??). Lots of teas & coffees as well as their own "fruit ice-blended" concoction.

This is what we had :

Keisha : Muttloaf (beef meat loaf thingy)
Keisha Ma : Wiener Schnitzel (breaded pork chop thingy)/ Watermelon & Strawberry ice blended drink
Me : Bruschetta / Veal Sausages with Sauerkraut and Mash Potatos / Lychee & Rambutan ice blended concoction

Human food portion not huge (I think only meals in San Antonio is huge, as the saying goes, everything is bigger in Texas, but I digress) but it's enough for me.

Dogs were running around off leashed (not sure if it's good idea to let them run around unsupervised). But the staff was on hand to "control" any unruly or "harassing" dogs. There were easily 5 Maltese, including Sha this evening. So I guess Maltese is a VERY popular breed.

In addition to the makan, there were also merchandise for sale - leashes, collars, T-shirts, dish, etc. Bought a red leather collar and a t-shirt for Sha-Sha. The merchandise is a bit on the pricey side though.

We really like this place. I think we can have our birthday celebrations and gatherings here. It's really a cosy place to chill. Just need to call to make reservation.

Took a walk around Robertson Walk after dinner and found that there are a lot of restaurants in that area, from Japanese to Brussels food. Some of these restaurants even allow pets. Will be checking them out in the coming weeks - always looking for places to eat where Keisha is welcomed too.

Pawtobello definitely have my vote.
