| - We selected the Grand Concourse because it seemed to be ideal for a business, adult lunch. We had a group of 8. I should mention that the Grand Concourse is huge - easily seating 500 people. We were seated in the River Room, a large rectangular room overlooking the river. of the roughly 100 or so tables in that room 3 were seated with groups of adults. Immediately after our group was seated the hostess seated a mother and a toddler directly next to our group. The toddler being a toddler wailed and was generally disruptive. There was no children's menu so the mother ordered a full meal for the child. He promptly dug in with both hands and proceeded to throw the food around the table. This was very disruptive to our group, obviously. My question is why, when you have a restaurant that large, you can see a group of adult professionals trying to have a lunch with adult conversation do you have to seat to a child under the age of 3 directly next to that group. Why, when you have at least 5000 other choices do you chose that one? Had the restaurant been packed, ok, maybe, but when you have a 100 tables of which 3 or 4 are occupied do you make that choice? And by the way, it is never the child's fault - the poor decision and bad behavior was due to the restaurant management.
Needless to say, we won't be back.
