I read this post earlier and didn't respond 'til now.

I'm a dad of 3 kids and if I take them out to dinner it's a buffet-type place, because they'll find something they like no matter what.

They have never appreciated what wife and I consider the best. She and I make our reservations at a nice place that's pretty expensive. We don't want to pay 30 bucks for each kid's dinner if they would have just as soon had a dinner at a more casual place. Plus, wife and I get to enjoy the experience without having to take care of their napkins and spoons and complaints. They don't like it any more than your average restaurant, and it's a nice "date" for my wife and me.
