    We had resv. I have a small service dog (9#) in a stroller that was with me, as always. When my family arrived I was told that the service dog must come out of the stroller and be on the floor at all Times while dining. I put the dog in a stroller when I go out to eat because she can see me in the stroller and if on the floor she would not just lay at my feet. She is 9# and small and wouldn’t be seen so easily from waiters/people dining etc. that is and has been our routine since I have had her. In the stroller she is quiet and can easily see me. I was told it was not possible to keep her in the stroller. The gentlemen was kind, however, said the owner wanted it that way. I explained it was not a good rule to have for service pets. I was very disappointed in Padrinos for this reason. We did order food to go but it was cold and not great when we got home because of the 25 minute drive. Definately will not be back because of the service dog rule.

    Group of 7 on a Saturday night. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Each person ordered different meals and enjoyed their meals. Service was impeccable! Will definitely return when in the area

    Our waitress was amazing. She knew all about the best dishes in the menu and was really helpful with my very picky eater of a father. We all left full and happy (even my dad lol) The appetizer combination was great, we got to try all the different flavors I was craving. The paella was a steal! So much good quality food at a great price with great service. 10/10
