JMHO but I think they should renovate it and update the menu but it may be a poor idea gearing it more towards families - they are somewhat restricted in the physical size of the dining area....
I'm the parent of a child who's always eaten what we ate (and yes I know how lucky I am but it was the same in our family, you ate what you got). As a result, we, from the time he was able to chew, have taken him to any/every restaurant with us, no matter the cuisine. We've never requested things that weren't on the menu, and I laugh at this, we chose items from the adult menus. In many countries, there's "a" menu, not a children or adult menu! He eats snails, Brussels sprouts, beets, asparagus.
But with that said why should another couple be deprived from eating there and enjoying the "hopefully" new & wonderful menu just because they have picky kids... But is it really the issue of picky kids, or well behaved kids?
We were at Boma's Sat. night 8:50 res. By 9:40 pm, with crying kids on each side & one fast asleep, the conversation was next to nil since I couldn't hear much of anything but that's to be expected at that type of eating venue. I felt sorry for those kids, they needed to be in bed, vacation or no vacation.
It's a dilemma, because adults, even at Disney, should be able to have a few nice, upscale eating venues without having to contend with, and yes I've said it, screaming kids who run around and won't eat what's on the menu, with parents who expect the chefs to whip up a nugget or run across to a QS to get that child a grilled cheese.
Can there be a happy medium, I really wonder.... I won't eat at Le Cellier till 8:30-8:45 because I can't stand the crowds, the noise level We eat at Le Bistro, Blue Zoo, at the same time for the same reasons! The answer can't always be Victoria & Albert s...
Just because it's Disney, does every eating establishment have to be geared to the "family"?
