If not - there should be!

That would be awesome! As a childfree individual who lives a quiet life, my ears cannot tolerate such excessive noise from screaming children.

Kids want to yell? That's fine if you're at Chuck-e-cheese, but please, if it's a nice place to eat, I don't want to hear your kids screaming or running around or kicking the booth, etc.... it gives me an instant headache.

(I too, cannot stand adults yapping loudly on their cell phones either- they can be just as bad as kids!)

Yapping on the cell is bad.

I don't think there should be No kids, because not all kids are like that. But maybe, No kids under 8 years old. Cause most eight year olds don't scream in a restaurant... I hopr.

The restaurant didn't ban kids, just the screaming kids.

I would definately eat there! It's about time!

I DESPISE trying to enjoy a meal, with ill-mannered children being loud and obnoxious. ESPECIALLY if it's a nice restaurant. At McDonald's, I expect to hear kids screaming in the Playland.

And, by the way, I have children. And they behaved in public. And if they acted up, I took them OUT of the restaurant for a talking-to!

I know that but a few people said they should ban kids.

I was with my family over the weekend at a restaurant that I wouldn't have identified as a place for families with kids. There was a family there with two little boys, I'm thinking around kindergarten or first grade. The family was celebrating a birthday. These two boys were so good the whole time. They got a little squirrely between the salad and the main course, got up and walked around. They came over to our table and the mom tried to get them away from us, but we told her we didn't mind since we weren't eating yet. They were so cute and good. We just tried to keep them between our table and theirs so their parents could see them, which was really no problem. We had them tell us the colors on their jackets and then they started naming other colors they liked. So cute!
