Good on you, I've seen parents ignore their kids dining and drinking, while the kids run amuck. Many times I've asked parents to control their children only to have parents turn on me getting rude and nasty. I no longer own restaurants and don't miss the hassle of self important parents and there seem to be many.
Restaurants aren’t playgrounds.
Parents need to stop letting their kids run amok.
Can we just say NO Children under 18 allowed for every restaurant (does not include fast food)
God bless the man!!!! He's 1000% right amd I hope that it will become widespread ❤

GOOD 4 HIM‼️
I was in a restaurant recently and noted two young kids sitting with their mother at a neighbouring table. I steeled myself for a less than relaxing evening. On this occasion, though, the two girls were unfailingly courteous, restrained and spoke politely to their mother and staff alike. It was a genuine pleasure to see such well behaved kids (both under 7 I would say). So, it IS possible for kids to behave and the girls’ behaviour underscored how unacceptable it is for entitled, negligent parents to inflict their spawn on people trying to enjoy a brief time to themselves. I applaud this restauranteur and hope others follow his example.
Should have some kind of policy for kids on airplane
I agree with having your kids under control when going out in a restaurant. I get they are hungry then hangry. For young children & toddlers they could feed them at home before they go out & then the kids would be calmer! I don't know what goes tgru a mom's head to change a baby on the table. That's gross. I don't want to see that while I'm eating & smell a poopy diaper either. Some parents lettgeir kids do whatever they want in public & that can be upsetting. So having rules is a good idea.
I support it. I can’t tell you how many meals have been ruined by kids running around, under our table, screaming. We save up to go to a special restaurant for a special occasion only to be ruined by parents not minding their kids!
shocking that they have to make common sense rules
parents be soft these days
Mother of five here: I support this policy fully.
"noo but parenting is hard you must have empathy" yeah cousin youre not special
I’m a parent and I would absolutely dine here! My child has always been so well-behaved in restaurants, I’m a proud mama.
Hallelujah, I wish ALL businesses did this or had similar policies
Good for you, Chez Xue👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽!
Now do a similar policy for loud idiots on their phones and being obnoxious. Don't limit it to just children. Some "adults" act like children.
It's absolutely amazing what should be common courtesy has been so completely forgotten that if somebody insist on it it becomes news
Oh, and bravo!
Good for the owner!
Children running and playing on the floor is dangerous in a place where people are carrying hot and sharp things with their eyes on who they are carrying it to. Ours never did, and they were a special needs child, now they manage a resturant.
good for them! and now PET OWNERS need the same message! nobody wants your dogs/ emotional support animals in the grocery store, restaurants, et cetera! this craziness needs to stop and it’s up to sane people to reel it in
Back in the 70s if I acted out at a restaurant my mother took me outside and spanked me. I wasn't allowed back in until I was ready to behave, same with stores. I remember spending one fall evening locked in the car while my parents had dinner because I misbehaved more than once. I was very fortunate that my daughter was super quiet and well behaved without the spanking however there were a couple of times where we simply went home mid way through the meal because she was having a bad evening. And that's how her entire childhood went if she wanted to stay and finish her food and get a desert she had to behave otherwise we went home at the first infraction. Of course I didn't take her to restaurants at all until she was old enough to comprehend the rules. I ordered in or we got a sitter.
I don't understand parents now days at all why on earth do you want your child behaving that way or thinking it's ok? I worked retail for many years and what I have seen parents letting their kids get away with astounds me. I really wonder what this next generation of adults is going to be like? having learnt their social skills on the internet and being allowed to be feral in public spaces their entire childhood. Kind of happy my daughter doesn't want children because I can't imagine the world that's going to be created by the grandchildren of today
We need restaurants that are children free. Same with airplanes and cruise ships.
Thank god, finally someone takes a stand about this. The parents are the real problem and they need to face repercussions for spoiling their children then letting them loose on the rest of us.
When leaving an online review I purposefully state that a restaurant IS NOT child friendly if I enjoyed my time there and it has an adult atmosphere. I definitely don't believe children belong in a sports bar just because they sell burgers and fries. Gen Z parents are the worse.
Kids need guidance, education and discipline.
If adults would be responsible parents, this policy wouldn’t be necessary!!
It’s unfortunate that these things had to become a policy. I support this owner and his decision as I’m sure most adult patrons will. Parents are not parenting their children and allowing and participating in inappropriate behaviors in public. Where has common decency gone?
Perfectly reasonable. His place of business, his rules.
Food looks good
Honestly, don’t know why this is newsworthy. We are expected to behave when we went out in public, to school, on the bus, to other people’s houses. My sons were as well and they’re in their 30s now and as adults it shows.
I think the worst behaviour I ever had as a kid in a restaurant was playing under the table and maybe being a little loud
Some of these kids today are not fit to go to restaurants at all!
I see nothing wrong with these rules, they’re just basic courtesy and common sense! I want kids someday and when I do, I plan to take my kids outside or leave public places with them if they’re misbehaving. They need to learn their lesson
This guy over here for California Governor.
If my child had known behavior problems I wouldn’t be taking them to places where they might disturb other people. When my grandkids were babies and toddlers I would take them outside if they were fussy or too active. I knew it might be one of the few times their parents could enjoy a meal without disruption and it let other guests enjoy their meals too.
Parents have gotten way too uppity and entitled nowadays
I had my only child at 20 as a single parent and practiced teaching good behavior and removing ourselves if that good behavior became disruptive and couldn't be quickly dealt with. Children learn if they are consistently being taught with love. She was a very well behaved child and when she was exhausted or spicy, I didn't make that other people's problem. There's a time and place for everything and McDonald's play place was great kid fun. I would have defended her right to be excitable and even a bit squeely had an adult complained at McDonald's. Having said that, adults should have a place where they can enjoy a meal in peace without your child drama. Just the thought of someone changing their child's diaper in a restaurant!!!! Why??? Restroom? Your car? Food and excrement don't pair well together and everyone knows that. Even people who can't smell anything know that. It shouldn't have to be a rule. I thought that was already a social contract. Since apparently it isn't common knowledge, I am glad he has set some rules. Good for him and for his guests.
amen. thank god. I would go there.
Wild behavior can also be a huge liability for any business. Children running can cause other patrons to fall or stumble. Throwing items could ofc hit others. To parents–just because you tolerate bad behavior doesn't mean the public is obligated to do the same. It's just sad that a business NEEDS to spell this out for "adults".
Bout time somebody holds bad parents accountable !!!!!
I agree with him. All parents out there, your children are your responsibility and it is your responsibility to teach them to be considerate members of society. Stop taking them out if they don’t listen to you.
the food looks so good
Good for him ! Parents suck when they do not control their kids in public places.
Leave your children with a nanny when going out to eat. No children in public!!
Why is this news? This is should be commonplace everywhere
The only people that won't like this rule are bad, trashy parents. Im behind it 100%.
I absolutely agree as a parent of a toddler. I expect my children to treat the places I take them to with respect. Props to this owner, I see a lot of unruly behavior and parents just let it go smh.
If I lived there it would be my favorite restaurant ever. Even if I didn’t like the food.
Ahh, bring back "the look".
