In my opinion, it will take much longer to get around that they do not allow young children then it will that they are child/family unfriendly.
Possibly. But my wife and I won’t eat at a restaurant unless we can find room at the bar. Faster service and no kids.
We’d put a restaurant like the one in this article on our list of places to go with couples.
We’ve operated this way for a long time, but recently went to dinner with another couple, seated in the common dining area. We were instantly reminded why we only sit at the bar.
Anyway on an interesting note you said "We’d put a restaurant like the one in this article on our list of places to go with couples."
What is funny is that they are not open tonight, Valentine's Day. Probably one of the most busy nights of the year for dining out especially for couples only because I don't know of anyone that goes out tonight with their kids.
