Wasn't the old Coe House more or less that policy ?


Don't know about the new owners, we haven't been there in years.

The point is (I think) that there are some restaurants, usually upscale and pricey, where you don't have to worry about being seated next to a table of "out of control" children. Emphasis - out of control!! I think there is a growing problem throughout where parents do not discipline/teach their children basic manners and behavior anymore. And NO I do not think it's okay for two little rugrats to be running around a dinner table constantly when at a restaurant or a child allowed to take a prolonged, loud hissy-fit about this or that before the adult removes them to the foyer area. Part of parenting is planning and sacrifice. If the child or children can't sit still for 45 min to an hour - take them to Appleby's or god forbid teach them how at the home dinner table!

Call me old school- I'll accept it ....... and my 4 children are no worse of as a result.
