Fisherman's Wharf restaurant Fisherman's Grotto has been fielding outraged calls and emails following news that a Monterey restaurant called Old Fisherman's Grotto had effectively banned small children from their dining room. Owner Anthony Geraldi was quick to state that families, which doubtless make up a large number of the spot's tourism-minded customers, are more than welcome at his restaurant (which even features a "Little Fisherman" kids' menu), while Chris Shake, owner of the offending Monterey spot, remains resolute in his stance against sticky-fingered youngsters.
