I am handicapped -- this morning Spires Restaurant in Torrance , CA, discriminated against me.

42. This is against the law

This is from a page with guidance about the ADA and service animals for places of business.

4. Q: What must I do when an individual with a service animal comes to my business?

A: The service animal must be permitted to accompany the individual with a disability to all areas of the facility where customers are normally allowed to go. An individual with a service animal may not be segregated from other customers.

Edited to add:

http://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm

People with disabilities who use service animals cannot be isolated from other patrons, treated less favorably than other patrons, or charged fees that are not charged to other patrons without animals. In addition, if a business requires a deposit or fee to be paid by patrons with pets, it must waive the charge for service animals.




If you want to pursue this, here's info on filing a complaint.
