We have 3 kids ages 11-14, and we were wondering if kids could eat at the main dining alone while the parents are at Palo?
Thanks!

On the other side of the coin....our family of five was seated with a family of 3 - a set of parents and a very odd 12 year old boy. On one of the nights, they showed up for dinner and said, "Johnny" will be eating alone tonight as we're going to Palo - we'll find you sometime after dinner if he could stick around with you. -And before we even had time to react, they left.
We didn't appreciate being stuck with "Johnny" who was not a very independent (or likeable) child and needed help ordering his dinner. We ended up having to take "Johnny" to the show after dinner where his parents finally found him later on.
I'm not saying that your kids will be like this - but people need to be realistic about what their children are capable of, and whether the other table-mates will feel responsible for the well-being of your children.

That is just neglect.
I feel sorry for you and your family, but more so for "Johnny" as I can only wonder what his home life must be like.
Having parent's like that isn't going to help raising a balanced and responsible child, but at least you were a forgiving family and accepted him rather than turning him over to the servers/other people who by the sounds of it he probably has had for the rest of his life.
I bet he had a great time (in a really long time) with you guy's and I'm sorry he has parent's who think they can dump him off onto someone else when they want.
Some people have no manors and some people shouldn't be able to have kids.
I reckon that show you took him to with YOUR family is still a great memory for him!
