[quote=Anonymous]There is a range of family friendliness. Some restaurants are good for patient, well-behaved kids who aren't picky eaters. Others are good for two families with 5 kids between them ranging in age from 18mo to age 9. These are different restaurants. It's good to pick the restaurant that suits your family and situation. I might take my kid to a nicer restaurant to celebrate a birthday, and we'd be fine. I would not take my kid and her two friends to the same restaurant to grab dinner after a swim meet -- they'll be egging each other on and both starving and overtired, and in that situation I want a place where that behavior will not be considered annoying or out of place.

A few days ago we went for an early dinner at a super family-friendly Mexican place near us and there was a toddler at a nearby table who kept periodically screaming. It was not pleasant, but also not the kind of thing I would complain about there. It's that kind of place, you know what you are getting, especially if you show up at 6pm on a Sunday.[/quote]
