This is not true at all. It has nothing to do with age. There are plenty of 10 year old noisy brats, and plenty of loud obnoxious adults.
Parents are responsible for their children and should be asked to leave if their children are disturbing other diners after 1 warning. One policy might be a deposit for families bringing children that would be applied to the meal or forfeit if they were asked to leave. That would weed out the ones who don’t belong there.

It has EVERYTHING to do with age COUPLED with bad parents — since Baby Booners started coddling their kids.
Every great now and then you will have adults act boorishly at a restaurant and they are quickly removed.
It isn’t the restaurant’s nor my job to mind children. Parents have proven they can’t and won’t.
There is no point in your complex policy when a no-kids policy works just fine. It isn’t like kids are being excluded from something they really desire.
High-priced dining is an adult undertaking.
