The Boathouse in Forest Park

Last night the fam and I went to the Boathouse for dinner and had a wonderful time. If any of you haven't been there it is very canine friendly. They have a big sign at the entrance saying dogs welcome and the minute you walk through a gate to their restaurant they have water bowls and a tin of dog treats on your left. How's that for service my brothers and sisters in the canine world. We sat outside overlooking a beautiful lagoon full of ducks and heron. We met a beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel who was sitting to our right with her folks and a cute little yappy York terrier a table away. The fam gave me some delicious table scraps and raved about their food. They even had Fitz's root beer floats which I can only assume was outstanding by the way my fam devoured them. Anyone can rent paddle boats and paddle all over the lagoon which people did the entire time we ate. Lots of families even took their dogs on the boat with them. The prices were great and the service was fantastic so I highly recommend this place for canines and their families. We had fabulous weather and the trees around the lagoon were spectacular. One weeping willow tree to the far left is so calming. Then we took a walk around forest park. It is just stunning as always and this wasn't the first time in the park for me. I've been around the block a time or two. If anyone has any other suggestions on most go to dog friendly places let us know in the comment section here. I will feature shortly my favorite restaurants around St. Louis and places to go.
