Etiquette question - food order

Anonymous
Im at the beach. I took my six year old son out to dinner at a casual but full service seafood restaurant.

The children's menu was the standard chicken tenders, mac and cheese, hot dog, etc. and two sides. Nothing great.

I wanted a crabcake. One was $20. Two were $27. I thought my son would like crabcake but wasn't sure enough to spend $20 on him. So I ordered his usual kids meal of chicken tenders and I ordered 2 crabcakes for me with the intent of giving him one.

After I placed the order, I noticed the menu said "no plate sharing" under the two crabcake option.

I initially thought that meant two people shouldn't order just one entree to split. But did I plate share anyway, since a kid's entree is so cheap?

You did not plate share. The restaurant is trying to stop folks from sharing one entree or one person getting a salad and sharing the second crab cake with that person. You did order a meal for your son and offered some of your food to him. You ordered him a kids plate because that's what he is - forget the price of it.

Yes, he are the whole crab cake, half the chicken tenders, a whole half plate of broccoli, and some fries. He was really hungry!
