I like seeing children everywhere. If the child doesn't have a significant behavior problem, then I would not mind one bit. I am not sure I would take a child to a really expensive restaurant though, because they can be picky eaters, and that's a lot of money to spend on food they wouldn't eat!
I am the opposite of many of you... I cannot stand going to a restaurant and seeing parents get dirty looks and be basically made to feel like freakin' pariahs because their two-year old is ACTING LIKE A TWO YEAR OLD in public. I am definitely in the minority, but the little happy shriek-y noises that babies make do not bother me; they make me smile! If a child is crying, screaming, whatever, that's just what babies do! Some people behave so rudely to moms and dads with upset children. Seriously folks, if someone's four year old is crying in the middle of Spago, they don't need the added stress of your disdainful glares! I would hope that the parent would remove their child from the situation and take it to the bathroom or outside, like AXO_MOM_3 said. If your child has behavior problems, then I agree, they do not belong in a nice dining atmosphere. Otherwise, I think parents should be free to eat wherever they wish with their children.
