The parents are responsible for watching their children. However, if I were designing the restaurant, I would have a door from the lobby leading to the playground, AND a gate that didn't lock. Then it could be used as a fire exit if needed.
I'm sure if it went to court the restaurant could be faulted for not having a door leading to the lobby, but that wouldn't stop kids from getting hurt anyway. Parents should watch their kids, or teach them not to go through doors/gates without parent's permission.
