    We went to the Chien Cuisine dinner and had a marvelous time. It was a dinner to bring your dogs to, and our pittie LOVED IT! The food was carefully thought out with dog health in mind, and tables were spaced out so the puppies had room to relax without being to close to one another. The human food was great too- with the beef tartare and the chocolate peanut butter desserts standing out. Our dog loved the pumpkin ravioli, and she was absolutely in a doggie food coma when she got home! If this dinner comes up again it is a must attend.
