I feel the opposite; a restaurant is impoverished if it doesn't allow children. Having kids present is a life-affirming joy, even when they're rambunctious or upset. If I get a wedding invitation, for instance, that says children are not invited, not only do I decline, but I would tend to lose interest in socially interacting with them in the future. Not that that is the 'correct' position or that you are wrong; but just wanted to point out that different people feel very differently about it.
