Anyway, I never liked Canoe's adult only and family only dining policy. My children are grown and the grandchildren are rarely here, but by relegating all families to one room you are actually punishing the families with well -behaved children who are then subjected to the ill-behaved children. It's only fair that we all should deal with the brats ( or poorly raised children if you prefer).

There really is no simple answer, but it's been a slow day for me, so I chimed in.

I totally agree!

We were relegated to the kids room a few times many years ago. I stopped going to Canoe then and, although my kids are now 16 to 26, we have never returned.

We eat out as a group of 4 to 10 roughly eight times a summer at the lake, plus many other times throughout the year. The memories of the rudeness that Canoe management and staff displayed back then still keeps us away. I see nothing right about banning well behaved kids from open dining. And to subject well behaved kids to the others that are not well behaved is not at all helping to solve any problem.

Just my opinion, I realize others have conflicting opinions which is their right. Glad none of our money is visiting Canoe and their unfair policy.
