Should fine dining establishments go out of their way to accomodate toddlers?

I have three boys that have trouble sitting still even in family friendly restaurants- I cannot imagine taking them anywhere nicer than a TGI Fridays type of place.

I remember when I was a kid, when we turned 10 (I'm the youngest of 4), my parents made a big deal of taking us out to a nice restaurant for our birthday (just kid and parents- no siblings). I remember getting all dressed up and being so excited for my first "nice" restaurant outing.

My parents took me to Red Lobster. But I thought it was the fanciest place ever and was on my best behavior- I remember the manager even kissing my hand when he came over to our table to wish me a happy birthday.

I guess it is all perspective.
