When I go out to eat, either at home or on vacation, I prefer to spend my time in a place that is quiet. I have many nephews and nieces that I love and I enjoy their company but I don't enjoy sharing a meal with children that are allowed run of a restaurant. I sompletely understand the un-tethered comment and I thank you for your honesty.

Or, if you are facing Stone Terrace, it is to the left and slightly above it. The stairs to Stone Terrace and the Banana Deck are next to each other. To Anon,

(I think I get what Charlie means by "untethered" kids.) And if one didn’t like goats, that would be excellent information to have ahead of time!

We always have at least 6 and sometimes 10 with us, some kids, never "un-tethered", and they can always handle the crowd. Good variety, excellent FRIENDLY wait staff. They often have some island vibe live music. I personnally love the low lighting, with the rail and umbrella lights adding a good feel. Best of all are the house cats. Thanks for the chance to weigh in. The Banana Deck is our #1 go to for a consitantly great, casual evening, island syle.

The Banana Deck isn’t actually on the same caliber as Zozo’s or the Equator, where kids would be out of place. It is an open air causal restaurant. Charlie should not be surprised to find kids, both the adult and small variety, at any restaurant where shorts, tee shirts and flip flops are standard and acceptable attire. Next he will be warning us that Miss Lucy’s is a magnet for goats. As a former little kid and a parent of a tethered little kid, I am slightly offended by Charlie’s “warning”.

Wish they could crank up the lumenss just a bit... We really like the Banana Deck too, but find that after dark, the lighting is often too low to adequately see your food.
