Not every restaurant is for small kids. Get a sitter.

You sound a bit spoiled and high maintenance.

You just described the people whining about this privately-owned restaurant’s perfectly legal policy.

Awww, you’re cute, like a sixth grade girl: “You’re telling me I can’t have something? Well, then IT’S STUPID AND I DIDN’T WANT IT AMYWAY SO THERE!!!!”

Yawn.

The intolerance is for the parents who aren’t prepared to leave if kid were to misbehave.

You can ban my eight year old when you ban baseball caps and tourist shorts.

I hear Ruths Chris is very toddler friendly. Maybe bring your kids there instead.

Im indian american and like Rasika, but have been guilty of bringing kids there a couple of times. There’s simply nothing for them to eat— too spicy. I actually support the policy. Fine dining has its place.

Welp, I guess my family and I will go to Ruth Chris instead.

Well first, I'm a man. But second, I have eaten at Rasika twice, and that was two times too many. I also go out without children on a regular basis, typically dropping $300-$1000 for my wife and I. But if I want to take my well behaved and quiet children to a restaurant, then yes, I do resent being told that for some reason that is worse than a loud past-her-prime 40 year old ex-sorority "girl" cackling at the top of her lungs every five minutes - which is a much bigger noise ordinance violation in the DC area than any child has ever been. And yeah, Rasika still sucks regardless

This is uniquely millennial problem. GenX parents just apologize profusely, put the kid on one shoulder and get a box to go. My 5 year can now sit quietly when crayons or a book - never given a phone or tablet, it takes one time leaving a place they really want to be with the consequence of leaving.
