an extra dollar, like are you kidding me.???
did it really make a difference in your wallet.????
stay home next time
you're right, but it's the point! Imagaine the extra 1 $$$ they earned from all the patrons! I would of left...and If I stayed, I would have left a 10% tip, and MINUS that extra $1-- for bad service--all around!
I'm sorry you never parented your babies to the point where they would behave themselves in a restaurant. My daughter is 19 months, not 12. And I'm very aware of how my daughter behaves. She is fine in a restaurant. I wouldn't take my daughter to an upscale restaurant, which the orient is not.
Hopefully your children now behave well enough so you can go to eat.
There are plenty of parents that have not a clue as to how their children act in a restaurant, I was not one of them. I didn't take my babies out to eat. triplets are hard to manage....
but some of todays parents do, and it is annoying.
you are not mind reader, your 19 month can act up at any time, she is a baby, she doesnt know any better.
Meh, plenty of 3 year olds are fine at Olive Gardens, Red Lobsters, and Cheesecake Factories. My 4 year olds are terrible at home but at a restaurant they don't act up at all. We tell them the waiters will yell at them and they listen (for now). I've seen many toddlers there and haven't had issues. It comes down to how the parents handle them and they're more likely to let them run around at a Dennys.
Reminds me of the rules for how much to spend on a house or engagement ring. Kids = family restaurants.
for these restaurants, you expect families, I agree.
but upscale restaurants where i am having a lobster dinner, no i dont want to hear your 3 year old make a sound.

Do you allow other adults to talk at dinner ... or do you insist on silence from the whole restaurant? What about teenagers? Do you ask the maitre'd to gag them?

Good response! People around here are ridiculous. There are so many loud restaurants around these parts that you couldn't tell the difference if a kid was acting up. Dodici in RVC is kind of upscale for the area and unless you are speaking loudly you can't hear across the table when it's busy. I'll take some baby noises any day over a bunch of drunks acting like fools.
we went to a "Tai" restaurant the other night, as soon as we walked in, I saw a father sitting at the table with a, maybe 1 year old, if that, we heard the baby making 'baby noises", I looked at the man, looked at the hostess and said, Oh no, sorry, I am not doing anyone's child tonight, not happening.
and we walked out. found a nice Chinese place and called it a night.
nothing worse than going to a fairly upscale restaurant and having to listen to someones little baby making baby noises.... do us a favor, keep the kid home....not everyone wants to hear baby noises......
I know, I had 3 babies....
Wow, you sound like a fun dbag to be around.
You should've brought some duct tape and told the dad to gag the little vermin.

Oh yeah, that extra $100 bucks he made during the lunch rush. I'm sure he went straight to Disneyland. The owner charges an extra buck so you stiff the waiter, even if the food and service were good (except for the $1 fiasco). What a winner!
