Good news .... As a human, you don't have to sacrifice your outdoor dining experience for a pet!! There are many, many restaurants that don't allow pets, and just a few restaurants that do allow pets on the patio. May I suggest that you could call ahead and ask the restaurant about their pet policy.

There are actually diners that enjoy having these obnoxious creatures on the deck. When we take our dogs anywhere we are constantly approached by Villagers wanting to pat them and talk about their pets.

I can't suggest a solution for your problem with unruly children. They're allowed in all the restaurants and quite active at Town Squares, especially during vacation periods!
