While dining at Plaza III the menu boasts a great filet mignon. Although everything is a la carte, people definitely don’t want to miss out on the scrumptious sides. It’s worth every penny.

So the last thing a couple going out for a romantic night here is dining next to a table with a screaming toddler. If it wasn’t for the screaming two-year-old throwing food across the table and running around the restaurant maybe the well-deserved night out would be more enjoyable.

To solve this problem, children under seven should be banned from fine-dining restaurants after 7 p.m.

Going to nice restaurants requires people to splurge quite a bit so they should be able to enjoy their dinner without commotion from a table filled with young children. Parents who have to pay for a babysitter, gas and a pricey bill want to be able to experience a nice, quiet dinner without listening to someone else’s kids.

Banning children from nice restaurants would also make the experience more enjoyable for the waiter. Screaming children would prevent the waiter from providing customers with a good dining experience, and may affect the amount of the tip.

It should be acceptable for children under seven to go to a nice restaurant with their parents for lunch because it is a less formal sitting than at the dinner hours. Parents should be the ones to realize it is not appropriate to bring young children out to a nice restaurant if they know behavior could be a problem. They should take their kids to family-friendly restaurants to satisfy the customers, the waiters and the children themselves.

Now-a-days it is becoming more common for restaurants to ban children. Last year, in Atlanta, Ga. at Grand Central Pizza, crying children were banned. In Pennsylvania at a restaurant called Take McDains, children under six are not allowed.

The owner of Take McDains, Mike Vuick, said in an interview with Fox News, “This has been accumulating over the years as an increasing number of young children and babies, whose chief form of communication is crying, were coming in.”

In 2011, Vuick decided that children under six should be banned. He has gotten great responses from all customers, and believes it’s the best decision he has ever made.

If parents don’t realize their children shouldn’t be out late at nice restaurants, then restaurant owners are going to have to come up with a plan in order to please their customers, and ban young children from coming to the restaurant at dinner hours.
