I would do the same. I would just say No KIDS. Some places like Longhorns, Ruby Tuesday, etc. had very effective ventilation over the bar where the smoking sec. was located. I wold take smoking over kids any day and I dont smoke.Back in the old days when you went out to eat they used to ask "Smoking or non- smoking?' and I would always respond "Non-crying baby section please". If you insist on taking children into a restaurant they should at least be well behaved and it not that's what Mcdonalds and Chucky Cheese is for.
