I must be in the minority, because I have never been out to a restaurant where children nearby have totally ruined my dining experience. Unless they come up and scream into my ear, or run around and bump my table, I don't get bent out of shape. Hell, even if it happens once, I can handle it. As long as the parents are on it and it doesn't happen repeatedly.
If I am going to a restaurant, I plan ahead to bring a couple of small toys to keep them entertained, and then allow them to order what they want from the menu. Otherwise it's not really anybody's business, nor should anybody get bent out of shape - but me - if my children decided to crawl under the table for whatever reason.
