A restaurant in New Jersey has had enough.
After trying to reach a solution that would accommodate all patrons, beginning March 8, Nettie’s House of Spaghetti in Tinton Falls, New Jersey will not allow children under the age of ten to eat inside the restaurant.
Nettie’s explained their decision in a post on social media that read, “We love kids. We really, truly, do,” explaining that “between noise levels, lack of space for high chairs, cleaning up crazy messes, and the liability of kids running around the restaurant, we have decided that it’s time to take control of the situation.”
Of courses, Nettie’s decision has received a varied response.
One person wrote, “I love this decision. Nothing frustrates me more as a single working mom then when I get the rare chance to go out (with adults and not children and not to an Applebees or kid friendly restaurant) and there are kids not only acting up but parents completely oblivious to it and not even trying to discipline their children.
“I applaud this decision and can not wait to come dine there!
Another added, “Can’t help feeling this will backfire spectacularly. (No I don’t have a kid under 10). The finest restaurants in NYC can accommodate kids but Netties can’t? Seems like the trouble is your patrons not the kids.”
The police is set to be enforced beginning March 8th.
