"  Although it shares the first three letters of a popular kid-friendly restaurant, McDain&amp;#039;s Restaurant in Monroeville, PA, is not a place for children. But we&amp;#039;re not simply talking about white tablecloths and no crayons for the kiddies. The owner of the restaurant, Mike Vuick, has banned kids under six completely. More from Delish: Top Chef Kids in the Kitchen Pittsburgh&amp;#039;s WTAE .com reports that in an email sent to customers, Vuick wrote, &amp;quot;Beginning July 16, 2011, McDain&amp;#039;s Restaurant will no longer admit children under six years of age. We feel that McDain&amp;#039;s is not a place for young children. Their volume can&amp;#039;t be controlled and many, many times, they have disturbed other customers.&amp;quot; Speaking to WTAE-TV, Vuick defended his new policy by saying that bringing loud children to a restaurant is &amp;quot;the height of being impolite and selfish, and therefore, I instituted a policy.&amp;quot; Although many customers are shocked and displeased with the new policy, Vuick believes that a majority of his clientele will support him in his decision.
