Great Birthday Party for little girl - Ruffino's limo

This is the worst thing that could happen to Ruffino's. Ruffino's is not a kids Bd party place. I really hope they (management) would not let something like this take place. If i am having dinner at Ruffino's the last thing I want to hear is a bunch of noisy 7yr olds.

You must have never been to Ruffino's. it's not some quiet, romantic restaurant. Every time I go there, it is packed, noisy, etc. 7 kids sitting at the pizza bar is not going to affect anyone. When we did it back in January, the girls sat quietly at the pizza bar like little ladies. We had more people say that was a great idea for a party. The kids are not running around like they are at Chuck e cheese. They are just sitting at the pizza bar, where kids are always sitting every time I go there.

We are not bringing cake, presents, etc. we are having that when we get back home.

Yeah .. 7 little girls sat at attention, looked straight ahead, and quietly ate pizzas ..

What's next ? Pop-A-Shot and Skeeball machines at Ruffino's ?

Posted by theBeard not saying its not kid friendly, just not a place for a kids party. Yes, I am very good friends with Ruffin and eat there once a week with my wife. I know his intention is not to have a restaurant that hosts 7yr old bd parties

If you walked in the restaurant and say us tonight, you wouldn't even realize it is a birthday party. There will be no streamers, balloons, cake, hats, etc. just 7 girls sitting at a pizza bar (where kids sit at all the time). That's what makes it a great party, the girls love acting like grown ups, eating at a fancy restaurant. It's not the norm, run around, acting like heathens.

Plus, while the kids dine on pizza, we are at a table dropping another $200+ dollars. I don't think Ruffin cares about a small party of kids at the pizza bar.

You lost me here..I thought the whole point of this was to be inexpensive..Why not just use this money for an actual kids party...

Holy dog shite! All out attack over bringing a group of young girls out for a grown up dinner for his little girl's b-day???

It's not like he is bringing in a bus load of smelly, drunk vagabonds or something...

So you sit at a table and leave kids at the bar?

Just went to their website because I don't live in Louisiana and didn't know anything about the place.

Their website listed events that the specialize in and b-day parties are listed. I didn't see where it said b-day parties for old plucks only or anything like that... By the looks of the place it looks nice and doesn't look like a chuckle cheese or anything....I think that the OP acknowledged the fact that it wasn't. To me it sounds like he is well aware of the expected behavior appropriate for the restaurant as he visits it on a regular basis.

Easy Triggers.

I can see this being fun for older kids, but riding in a limo to dine out seems a bit adult for 7 year olds. What will they do for junior prom? Fly to Cancun? I can only imagine the sweet sixteen blowout.

It's a birthday party arms race, akin to the wedding industrial complex. Too much is too much.
