Do they allow smoking in the patio seating area?

No

No smoking on the patios. There is an area before walking into the restaurant that you are welcome to smoke 🚬 but no smoking everywhere else 🚭

They wouldn't set us outside, because they said that they are understaffed. We was there for three days.

They have ash trays. Not much they can do about Karen's with their dogs, now a days that's could be turned into a legal battle

They should. They let people with service animals put them on the table. Gross.
