It’s her prerogative.
There’s a Chucky Cheese on William Penn In Monroeville.
I have three kids who do enjoy eating out. Of course, we tend towards family friendly joints, it’s amazing how quiet a menu and some crayons can keep kids. And they know our expectations.
It should be the resturant’s choice, but I have to wonder, is there a discrimination law they are violating?
Another RUDE thing that parents let their kids do...is give the waiter/waitress an order. I’m embarrassed and angry for the server when some 4-7 year old kid spits and stutters while giving the server an order while mommy and daddy giggle.
As the mother of a flock, good for the owner. Other people’s children drive me nuts sometimes.
I often feel like we’re the only parents who ever discipline their children or expect them to behave quietly in public.
I have only had one experience with children being a nuisance when we were at a restaurant. We were at Cracker Barrel, waiting inside for a table because it was too cold to wait outside. There were several other families waiting inside, too, with children. If you’ve never been in a Cracker Barrel, you always enter through the retail store to get to the restaurant. Anyway, these kids were running in and around the merchandise aisles, yelling at each other. I saw a stuffed animal being thrown over one of the aisles, and then a little later, I heard glass breaking. When we were finally taken to a table, a baby started screaming at the table beside of us.
Other than that, children don’t bother me when eating out. haha
That resturant would make it to the TOP of my lists to go to. Tired of not being able to have a conversation; because some mis-behaving brat is throwing a tantrum, is running uncontrolled, is screaming or making noise.
Surprisingly, every parent thinks that what they produced is the golden child, their precious little prince/princess can do no wrong - that any noise they make is merriment to everyone else. The rules that everyone else must live by; are utterly optional for them.
Good for this resturant; I hope their business SURGES.
Years ago we went on trip to Florida with my grandparents. They took the whole family.
My young cousin was usually a brat in the restaurants. My grandad was a calm quiet man. One day my cousin was screaming and acting out in the restaurant.
Grandpa got out of his chair, picked my cousin up and took him out to the car and shut the door. The kid was still screaming. Grandpa stood there smoking his cigar and told him “when you decide you are done screaming, we will go back inside”. LOL About 15 minutes later they returned and not a peep came out of the kid.
The boy was always good after that in the restaurants.
I don’t think too many people care to have to eat their dinner around noisy brats. It should be the job of parents instead of restaurant making the rules. If this place can afford to lose those customers, the owner has a right to set the rules.
We didn’t go out to eat very often when the kids were small, but when we did, on at least two occasions, strangers approached us and complimented us on how very well behaved our children were. Of course, we felt proud of them, but I always was worried that after saying that, the kids would start acting up. Thankfully, that never happened.
Sigh - if only I could bok a “kiddo-free” flight.
OH well, at least in 1st class there is a smaller chance of being stuck next to smelly screamer for 4 hours.....
I don’t care for screaming/ill-behaved kids in public, whether it be a restaurant, movie theater, church or retail store. My mother didn’t allow me to act like a brat.
Good. I hope it is the start of a global trend!
Get over it.

"I can't believe this. I am offended. This is just an ignorant policy," Kelley told Team 4 investigator Jim Parsons.
Pernahhhnced ig'nernt.
I wouldn’t mind paying extra if it meant I could take to my dinner partner without a screaming kid at the next table.I expect that at McD’s but not at a sit down resturant.
Most restaurants have a sign which reads “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone”. That covers a lot of bad conduct that can happen from adults and kids.

It isn’t impossible to have small kids who are well behaved, but many parents won’t bother with civilizing them.
I went to a pub in the English countryside once that had a “No child” admitted sign and despite the smoking laws, everyone was lighting up. When I asked for a whiskey the owner simply handed me the bottle.
Lovely food; beautiful pub, fun friends - what a day!
