Yeti Restaurant’s patio wraps around the building with both covered and open sections, so you can chase sun or shade depending on the season. The Himalayan cuisine—momos, thukpa, dal bhat—draws a steady crowd, especially on weekends, but the patio stays manageable enough that your dog won’t feel crowded or stressed by constant foot traffic. The staff brings water without asking and treats dogs as a normal part of the dining scene.

Dogs stay on the patio; you won’t be able to bring them inside the dining room. The patio isn’t fenced, so a reliable recall or leash is essential, particularly because Arnold Drive runs close by and the restaurant sits along the main corridor through Glen Ellen. Most diners keep their dogs tied to a sturdy patio chair or post while eating. The covered sections work well for cooler Sonoma evenings or unexpected drizzle, and the heaters come on as the sun drops.

Yeti sits near the heart of Glen Ellen, walking distance from the town’s small cluster of tasting rooms and shops along Arnold Drive. The restaurant keeps generous hours for a regional spot—lunch and dinner service most days—though it’s worth checking their website for seasonal closures. The patio fills up quickly on weekend afternoons, so an earlier seating tends to be easier if you’re traveling with a dog who does better in quieter settings. Parking is in a small lot directly in front.
