“You do not take a baby to Alinea. Unless the babysitter canceled last minute and Alinea would not refund your ticket. No other debate.”
I would agree with this. Perhaps Alinea should reconsider their refund policy or make it clear—no refunds and absolutely no children allowed.
If you’ve paid good money in advance for the seats and there is nothing stating *no children*, then I can’t blame the couple for trying not to lose their investment. The crying... well, I wouldn’t have been comfortable letting my child disturb everybody.
I do think the chef is a vain jackazz for taking the matter to Twitter. What is it? Fine dining or reality TV dining? Vote them off the island or what? He could have offered them another date if they left or just stayed mum and changed his policy. No, he needed to have the whole world join him in his tantrum and frustration.
Vain little twit.
. I don't think the chef did anything that bad. He just asked what should he do, he didn't post a photo of the parents, he didn't name them, he made a semi-serious inquiry.
