Casa Carmen - New York

So the food was excellent and the staff/service was efficient and very warm…the big issue was the dogs in the restaurant. We were placed at a table at the rear of the restaurant. About 10 minutes later a table arrived with a dog on a lead that sat under their table for the duration of the meal. About 20 minutes into our meal a rather noisy party arrived with a small dog in a bag . They sat right next to us. Unfortunately the dog didn’t stay in the bag and wandered along their seats ending up about 8 inches from me! The tables are v close at the back. The staff diligently asked if we had any allergies at the start of the meal.. we don’t have food allergies but I am allergic to dogs! I didn’t expect to encounter a dog in a restaurant like this and scanned the restaurant and there were no empty tables that we could move to. I had itchy eyes very quickly as well as congestion which lasted throughout that night. I really think that management should rethink their policy on dogs. We won’t be back until they do.

Guacamole and pork carnitas tacos were very delicious
