Each to their own. I'm sure all the children owned by members of this forum are delightful little cherubs, I just don't want to have dinner surrounded by them. Other people's children are generally like holiday photos - fascinating if yours or belonging to someone you love, absolutely tiresome when belonging to strangers.
Do not go to Hawker Union under any circumstances @miss annie , it is marred by tykes.
It would be sad to write off a new addition to the 'hood on the basis that there may at some point be children in it - and that's coming from someone who would rather dine amongst bears than badly behaved kids.
Of course when they open during the day they may be glad of the local mums, as there's very little day trade in the area as it is.
Each to their own ref kids in restaurants, and I can completely visualise the people described and get it. That said, it’s the adults that let themselves down most of the time. The kids are just there because of mum and dad.
Had you read the first page you would have seen that the tweet was not from the restaurant but from the Crouch End page. I've spent enough time in Crouch End eateries over the last twenty years to be as familiar as I need to be with the behaviour of the restaurant going children of Crouch End.
Your point about parents needing to 'be invited' is laughable, if you can find me an eating or drinking place in Stroud Green without a child in it it in the evenings I will be amazed. There was even a small pram in Max's the other day, and that is usually a safe bet for adults.
