Just left the Great Dane in Fitchburg. We ate on the patio. Food was OK, but we were in a smoker's convention. Most people around us, and at the outside bar were smokers. I would recommend that the hostess inform guests at the time of seating that smoking is allowed in that area. You would at least know in advance before being seated and ordering. We have been there several times in the past but had always sat inside until this evening. Now we know better. Our clothes and hair smell like smoke, and we are stuffed up. Beth & Dave
