I do not see any issues with Canoe's seating policy and would welcome a adults only section in any resturant, and we are expecting our 1st in June so we will be in childrens section soon enough

.
I think parents become accustomed to the noise, jumping around from children and do not notice people around them trying to enjoy a quiet dinner. I am sure we all have been seated next to both well behaved children and not well behaved children, it can really make or break your night out.
