Quite frankly, I have never seen this " stealth" policy of discrimination against children in any restaurant,anywhere. The food at Canoe is pretty good,the service is usually OK, but the attitude seems to be that they are doing you a favor by serving you. This is regardless of the policy on children.

Although I am as annoyed by out of control children as anyone; loud, obnoxious adults are just as annoying and harder to screen by arbitrary exclusion policies

Well-run restaurants can manage inappropriate behavior on a case-by-case basis without arbitrary exclusion policies.

This is a decent restaurant in a resort area which includes families. Their policy on children, if it is as stated by others on the forum( and not refuted by the restaurant ) makes no sense to me.

Catering to an adult clientele is one thing, excluding all children is quite another.
