Definitely not, unless they are well behaved regardless of age. Several years ago, was having lunch with my mom, her friend and the toddler son of the friend at a somewhat expensive casual Italian restaurant. The child started acting up and throwing food, some it landed on neighboring guests trying to enjoy their meal. His mother had to apologize for her son. It got to the point that they had to leave the restaurant while my mom and I finished our lunch on our own.

There is nothing that ruins my dining experience that a child misbehaving. It is even worse when it is a fine dining establishment.
