As a (hopefully) responsible father, I don't see why anyone would have any logical reason to complain about this idea. Let the owner run his business the way he wants, and if you don't like it then tough. There are plenty of other restaurants to eat at where it won't be a huge faux pas if your kid misbehaves. I'd just hope that the staff makes the policy very clear because this is definitely outside the cultural norm. I'd be REALLY mad if I made reservations for something like a nice Father's Day brunch, showed up and was told that I could eat but my daughter would have to wait outside.
