If the child can sit quietly during their dinner, then I don't mind her/him being in the restaurant.

The good thing about fancy restaurants is that the servers and management will usually go the extra mile to make sure their customers are comfortable and have a pleasant dining experience. I was at a high-end restaurant a few months back. A couple at the table next to us brought their little "angel". He had to be about 3 or 4 years old. He was continuously banging his fork against the water glass and he kept making these awful screeching noises. It was so irritating so we asked the server if we could move to a table FAR from the child. The restaurant was packed so the manager went over to the table and told the parents that their "angel" needed to stop disturbing the other patrons. The parents looked mortified. Classic. The parents did get their kid under control after that.
