Where to eat with a dog in Geyserville, Calif: Geyserville Grille

Even if you don't have a dog, Geyserville Grille is a great place to get a tasty burger and fries, serving up everything I want in a classic diner hamburger:

• Patty of good beef that is not too big, cooked to order with just enough grease to be messy.
• Soft bun that has just enough heft to deliver each bite of the burger, and just enough chew and taste of its own so that it doesn't disappear, yet also doesn't detract from the burger
• Dressed with Thousand Island, lettuce, tomato, pickles and cheddar cheese. Some may insist on American, but I'll take either.  
• A generous portion of fries that were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. 

But what made my visit there on a recent summer afternoon most memorable was how the staff welcomed my dog. There were two patios to choose from, each that we could access without trekking through the restaurant.
I chose the one with the most shade, then was quickly offered water for both of us, with the dog's drink brought out in a large stainless steel bowl.
