I'm all done with dumping $30-$50 for a meal at a place like Applebee's.
That makes three of us.

create a scene if you know what's good for you"
I do not understand why people reply when asked 'Are you Law Enforcement'. I'd suggest you tell the person that it is none of their business, or just ignore them.
That's when most OC-ers get in trouble with these restaurants. Is this naive to not answer?
If they are not given an 'answer' which is entirely optional, then they can't tell you to leave or not. I'm sure there are even more creative ways which do not suggest you are LE (which is a crime to state you are but not a crime to be vague).
Minion: 'Are you LE?'
You: "Who the hell are YOU?"
Minion: 'Sir, I'm the (minion, manager, etc.)'
You: "Please go away/bring me another drink, and don't create a scene if you know what's good for you"
Minion: 'Oh, sorry officer/sir/mister...(blah, blah)'
You: Continue eating.
so i called and spoke with kurt he agreed that he was aware i was legally caring and stated that he was told no firearms were allowed in the resturant in training.
Per his statement (above)
This restraunt might be a "Training ground" for new employees.
Get into Sous vide and it will be hard to ever go out for steak again. Perfect edge to edge medium rare USDA prime ribeye steak... mmmmm
I can go to Costco and buy either Filet's or New York Strips that will give me three meals for two people and pay less than the cost of a single filet in a Restaurant.
Yeah, if only Costco would let you carry in there warehouse... I’ll use a local butcher shop instead, one that supports carrying.
I've always carried when in Costco.
Its against corperate policy and against the membership rules you have agreed to follow when opening your membership with them. However, if you are not having issues at the one you go to carry on, just be warned.

Do you have a link or a .pdf of the membership rules?

Dear Mr. xxx,
This email is in response to your October 20, 2006 letter to our Investor Relations department, regarding Costco's "No Firearms" policy at its warehouse stores.
As an initial matter, Costco is not a place of "public accommodation" within the meaning of civil rights laws. The definition of "public accommodation" does not include a bona fide private club or other establishment that is not in fact open to the public. Costco Wholesale is a membership-only warehouse club. It is not open to the general public. It restricts membership to a limited group of qualified individuals who agree to membership conditions. We have the right, and the obligation to our members, to enact and enforce membership rules. The Member Service Employees at the exit doors are obliged to follow these rules. By obtaining a Costco membership card, our members agree to comply with the Membership Rules and the Privileges and Conditions of membership.
Costco does not believe that it is necessary for firearms to be brought into its warehouse stores, except in the case of authorized law enforcement officers. For the protection of all our members and employees, we feel this is a reasonable and prudent precaution to ensure a pleasant shopping experience and safe workplace. Our policy is meant to protect our members and employees in all warehouses around the world. This is not a new policy and we do not customize the policy for each individual city/county/state/country where we do business.The shopping experience is not enhanced by bringing a firearm into our warehouse.
Our primary goal at Costco Wholesale is to keep our members happy.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Bradley

They unfortunately do not publish there policy or membership agreement online (could not find it). However, its been vetted multiple times even in the Washington forum (Google Search). Here is the generic response there customer service members send in regards to gun policy inquiries.
I actually did find the policy once by digging around on the Costco website, but I couldn't get the link to work for linking here.
But... my aunt just happens to be an executive for Costso and this subject has come up. She has confirmed to me that Costco is a "gun free zone". Some of you might think what I'm saying is BS, but there are some of you here that know me and know I wouldn't make this up.
