11MO at La Tasca?

Can I take an 11MO to La Tasca at 5:30 on a Friday? We've been invited, but from my last visit there I would have thought it was a little too nice for my DS. He's pretty well-behaved, and we have no problem taking him outside if he DOES make a fuss, but I'd rather not make any waves. I know DCUMers will tell me what they REALLY think.  Thx.

| Yes. That place is not fancy. |

| Do your friends expect that you will bring DC? 5:30 isn't bad for a Friday. Please just don't bring a baby after 7:00. That's adult time and you will make waves. |

| Why does everyone feel the need to state that their DC is well behaved? All parents understand that a little kid can make a fuss at anytime for any reason, especially at a restaurant or on a plane. |

hmm... you might run into the happy hour crowd. Then again, if you do, they'll be way louder than your baby can be!

| Perfectly fine. We've been to La Tasca with our kids (young) often. It is actually a pretty good place to go with kids b/c tapas tend to come out very quickly so you aren't waiting around for food for long. |

La Tasca is not at all fancy. It's basically like the Tapas version of Cheesecake Factory, and 5:30 is very early.
Go for it! No one there in their right mind will care. P.S. I don't yet have children (pregnant now), so this is coming from a childless perspective

Oh god. Here we go again. La Tasca? La Tasca is a fun restaurant. It is a chain. It is not the White House. It is not The Inn at Little Washington. If you can't take a baby to La Tasca at ANY TIME of night... I don't know what the world is coming to. I mean, really, its not like you're taking him to an evening performance of Wicked!

| La Tasca is very casual. I wouldn't ever wonder whether I could take my toddlers there (as long as my dining companions were on-board.) |

| OP here, thanks for the helpful responses. I've only been there once and it was before I had my DS, so I wasn't really thinking about it from a kid-friendly perspective. |

OP again--I guess what I meant to say was generally not fussy nor fazed by new environments/crowds/strangers/etc. At this age, it's not intentional behavior on his part, but I know a lot of babies/toddlers are not as easygoing. (And yes, I am grateful.) |

| Are you definitely talking about La Tasca, vs. Tosca which is different? |

| Also, why was this moved out of General Parenting? It's clearly parenting-related, and it took me forever to find the new location. |

Yes, La Tasca, not Tosca. I would definitely NOT take my DS to Tosca. |

| La Tasca is very casual (and bad food)- just request a corner- they tend to sit parents with young kids away from the crows or close to each other anyway <-- that part in most restaurants for what we've experienced and we go out a lot. funny how all people with kids are all sitting near each other.. |
