A good investment for any restaurant would be a few Gameboys.

I see no problem with Restaurants mentioning that they are unsuitable for children (or having timeslots when they are welcome). I used always check when booking a place I wasn't familiar with, far fewer claimed unsuitability than were unsuitable.

I wish we could adopt the French attitude towards children's menu's in restaurants. Among my man's dining experiences when he was about 6 were Artichoke Soup, Seared Tuna, umpteen types of plain fresh fish and mussels - all of which were eaten and enjoyed. Sort of puts chicken nuggets, fish fingers and sausages in the shade(which I am sure he'd have gone for if available - I tended to pick places where they weren't). It's amazing the amount of kids who love mussels, I think picking the mussel out using an empty shell is the attraction. Maybe if kids were having a proper dining experience instead of stuffing down few gobfulls of nuggets in 2 minutes they wouldn't have so much time to run riot around the place.
