Irene Sirotta said she, her guide dog Tyler and a friend went inside La Baguette restaurant, but an employee asked them to leave.

She said they showed documentation to prove Tyler, seen above, is a guide dog, but they were still told to get out.

"It's discrimination. You can go in there, why can't I? Why?" said Sirotta. "He's a guide dog. Why can't I go in there? New York State law says I can. It's not fair. I'm sorry, it's not fair."

The owner of the restaurant said off-camera that he was not there when it happened, but his employees told him that Sirotta and her friend were causing trouble.

He also said the restaurant has an open salad bar, and that his workers could not tell that the animal was guide dog.

He said Sirotta was harassing one of his employees, and that he would never refuse to serve a blind person with a guide dog.

Lighthouse International, located just a few blocks from La Baguette, offers assistance to the visually impaired. The organization's vice president said this may have just been a lack of understanding.

Sirotta said she is filing a formal complaint with the state, to make sure no other visually impaired people have to go through what she did.
