"In Monterey, Old Fisherman’s Grotto has again sparked criticism for its policy of not providing high chairs and booster seats to children; owner Chris Shake says, “we decided that it was important that our guests enjoy a great meal and not be distracted by children crying in our dining room.” He emphasizes that children aren’t banned — they just need to be well behaved enough to sit through the meal (without a booster seat), and he notes that many families do dine there with children who understand and follow the policy." - Caleb Pershan
