I find the "better" restaurants have informally set aside a family section and an adults only section. Of course if you want to minimize the chances of be seated next to an unruly kid then eat "late", after 8pm. Most families go between 5-7 PM.
Ask yourselves this one question .... If you were on an intercontinental flight w/o reserved seating would you choose the empty seats just infront of the couple with a 2-3 yr old or the empty seats next to the 70 yr old couple ?
Kids in general don't bother me but there have been a few times when I've wanted to get up and paddle the little brat and then tell the parents "See, that's how it's done !"
I now return you to the original topic ....

I don't think many people here will disagree with you on this. Even those of us with kids. However...and this is a big however...does an unruly kid here or there warrant banning ALL KIDS from restaurants or airplanes?
Of course there are unruly kids, always have been and always will be. But to ban them from the public is just wrong IMO.
