as a rule...any place that serves a very good steak, lobster, and nice wines should NOT be patronized by children, or at the very least, babies. if you go to a common chain of family restaurants like applebees, bennigans, ocharleys, chilis, ect... you really have no right to bitch about kids and babies. they are "family" establishments. the higher end restaurants, which do not so label themselves as family establishments, do generally discourage babies and kids. i know first hand, as i worked at a "$250 dinner for two" place during college. anyone that showed up with kids or babies were made to wait a ridiculous amount of time for a table. sometimes pushing up on two hours, thereby discouraging continued patronage. also, if a customer complained about the offending child's/baby's behavior, our manager would ask the baby wielding couple to relocate to another part of the restaurant...even in mid-meal.
so there, as a rule...unless its clearly a family restaurant...dont bring your damned kids. thanks.
