Da Marco discriminate deaf customer & service dog

As posted from the Houston Chronicle, Da Marco a nice restraunt located off Westheimer had four ladies who were customers, one of them apparently was deaf and had a service dog.  Well, Da Marco told the lady that the dog was not allowed in the restraunt regardless if it was a service dog or not.

Granted, if it was any dog then I can understand but this dog was a service dog.  Da Marco was WRONG for refusing service to this deaf individual.  I really do hope this deaf individual steps up and files legal action vs. Da Marco.  By the ADA law, she should have been allowed the opportunity to bring her dog in. Hopefully action will be taken in regards to this – and they are educated on this issue that this will not happen again.
